Alas, I’m still feeling fairly under the weather, so this week of the cookbook challenge has been less than an overwhelming success. As much as I love the recipes from Vegan Soul Kitchen, they’re quite labour-intensive, and with my aches and pains and complete lack of energy, a couple of hours in the kitchen for dinner just isn’t an option. I’ll be sure to come back to this book after the challenge, when I’m feeling up to it- because it really does deserve my attention.

To make up for the lack of challenge-related blogging this week, here’s a quick sneak peak at some other tasty treats I’ve been working on lately, as a tester for the lovely Isa and Terry‘s new book. For those not already in the know, it’s all about pie. And from what I’ve made so far, it’s a definite winner.

Strawberry handpies

Pecan pie

Boston cream cake pie

Sweet potato brazil nut crunch pie

That’s right, even while sick enough that dragging myself out of bed is a struggle, I can find time to bake. I think I have my priorities sorted just right.
