Tried and Trues from 2008

What can you eat? Or as my DH likes to tease- you're not allowed to eat that. I can, as a vegan, eat lots and lots. I would make a list but well I am doing that already! Yesterday, I posted the new recipes that I tried last year. Today I'm going to list the tried and trues. This will help me answer that weekly question- What am I gonna make for dinner this week?!? And it will help me remember the dishes that I like but haven't made in a while. If Ionly had a memory...

This list will be a work in progress as I remember and as I check through my cookbooks and notes. Last updated 1/11 7:30
