Mardi Gras Meal

Sweet potato cornbread

(tasty dish, ugly picture)

Well a post Mardi Gras meal that is. For my co-op meal I made red beans with a vegan andouille sausage. Some not so dirty rice, sweet potato cornbread and coconut heaven cupcakes for dessert. The meal was quite easy to make. Throw the beans in a big pot and let them simmer all day with spices. I doubled the sausage recipe. After they were steamed I sauteed them in a skillet with a bit of oil. The sweet potato cornbread recipe comes from the cookbook How it All Vegan. And the cupcakes are from Vegan with a Vengeance. We really enjoyed the meal and the cost to make the dish was around $12. You can't beat that price and it fed 8 adults. Yippee!
