What’s one to do when there is a happy stash of homemade pita in the freezer and a grumbling belly waiting for dinner? Make falafel!! Last night I prepared a new kind of falafel made with sweet potatoes instead of chickpeas. The recipe is from Fat Free Vegan and it is delightfully delicious!! I halved the recipe and it made just enough for two meals. The accompanying Yogurt-Tahini Sauce is my new favorite. It has a sweet tang from the addition of ketchup, but all the richness I love from tahini – so good!
And, a lil’ sweetness for dessert:
Tasty (well one of them was) vegan donuts from Voodoo Donut in Portland. I rode my bike over to Voodoo to satisfy a treat craving last night. Believe it or not, this was my first time visiting Voodoo. The donut on the left is a chocolate-glazed, custard-filled. The donut on the right was kind of stale, lemony (way too lemony), and dry. There was quite a selection of vegan donuts to choose from which was nice. I also tasted a regular glazed donut because apparently that’s how you tell if a place makes good donuts, you base it off their plain donuts. It was good. Fresh, sweet, donutty. Enough said. I shall let the icky lemon donut be forgotten…
FALAFEL!! DONUTS!!
that falafel recipe looks delicious :)
We’re like the Wonder Tins! Sweetness Twins! We rule!
That falafel looks so scrummy yummy delish! Well, I always think falafel looks good, and if you add sweet taters that just ups the delicious-factor.
I’m probably blessed that I can’t get vegan donuts. As I could eat tham. And I wouldn’t stop.
vegan doughnuts………*swoon*……=P
Donuts! Oh such happiness!
Sweet Potato Falafel!??! Could it get any better?!
yum yum yum…falafel and donuts! i’m highly jealous.
Your falafel look great, I’d never thought to try using sweet potato in a falafel! and I think I need those donuts immediately!
I am mad at the stale donut for lying to our eyes.
Mmmmm…donuts. I’m so jealous of all these vegans with access to donut shops. Sigh….the falafel sounds great too. Anything with sweet potatoes makes me happy.
Mmmm I love falafel, I haven’t tried that recipe yet, must give it a go. The donuts look great too! I miss donuts.
I think that’s the most beautiful falafel I’ve ever seen!
Yum donuts.
I think I miss Voodoo almost as much as I miss my friends.
sadface on the stale lemony donut! but i’m glad the glazed one you tasted and the chocolate-glazed custard donuts were tasty! totally gonna have to try out susan’s sweet potato falafel, and her yogurt-tahini sauce sounds deeeelish! mmmmmmmmmmmmm!
The falafel and sauce sound fantastic! Bookmarking the recipe. And donuts, mmmmm…for me even a mediocre donut is a good donut.
Here in Vegas we have Ronald’s Donuts. So good. That falafel looks so intriguing! I will have to look up this recipe!
