White Chocolate Almond Bark & Pimiento Cheese Sandwiches

I've been revisiting some of my favorite recipes from  La Dolce Vegan by Sarah Kramer; one of the cookbooks I use the most. I made my hubby's favorite Veggie Pot Pie and Cranberry Apple Crisp. I have used dried and fresh cranberries when making this crisp, and both are delicious. One of the few recipes I hadn't tried yet is White Chocolate Almond Bark. It's so easy to make with just three ingredients-vegan white chocolate chips, toasted almonds and raisins. A yummy sweet treat.

I have only tried one other recipe so far from Cookin' Crunk. The Vegan Ranch Dressing wasn't a success.  I had the Pimiento Cheese Sandwich recipe tagged for awhile so I thought I would give it a go. I have always loved pimiento cheese with tortilla chips. Yeah, I could eat the whole tub of it in one sitting! So I thought, great! now I can have a vegan version. 



Ingredients for the pimiento cheese. 

The consistency is rather like hummus. 

I ate my Pimiento Cheese on a sandwich like she suggested. It kind of squished out the sides. My verdict is that this tastes nothing like pimiento cheese! It is just a roasted red pepper hummus. Why did she have to tease me so?! Now I want to go out and get a tub of real pimiento cheese and some tortilla chips. hehe! I've been eating it like hummus using some naan bread, cucumbers and sweet peppers. *sigh*

Olive & Sun-Dried Tomato Hummus~pg. 50

VegCookbookClub July recipes from eat, drink & be vegan by Dreena Burton:



I love any kind of hummus and this recipe calls for my usual pantry staples. So easy to whip up in the food processor and so yummy. 


I served the Olive & Sun-Dried Tomato Hummus at our 'family karaoke night'! It was a hit as were the 5-Spice Almond Cookies. I used the leftovers as a sandwich spread with tomatoes, red onions and cucumbers.

Tamari Tease Chickpea Spread ~ pg 114

VegCookbookClub July recipes from eat, drink & be vegan by Dreena Burton:


Wow ~ This is so ridiculously easy and delicious!
 I added a clove of garlic to my mixture and used Bragg's instead of the tamari. 


I spread the Tamari Tease on some Greek pita bread and layered tomatoes, sliced avocado and romaine lettuce for a quick, yummy lunch.
