Vegan Pizza Mofo Post 15.
I made a list of pizzas to make during the month. It wasnt a long one, but it had a few on the definitely make list, one of which was the Mac and cheese Pizza and the next was the Sloppy joes. Behold the Lentil free sloppy joes. These sloppy joes are inspired by Seattle’s Plum Bistro’s Quinoa Burger, which has all the similar toppings plus some caramelized onions. That is one burger where all the toppings, dressing and the spices work very well together. Now if only I had known about the cooking class with Plum’s chef on 20th, I would have probably found out the secret recipe and made the real deal:)

My birthday was fun. Work free time with hubbs. Breakfast of ginger molasses french toasts by hubbs, burgers and wraps from Sage (now called Plum) Cafe at Cap hill, a long drive with great music and fall colors, dark chocolate cakes from Hot cakes in Ballard and a light dinner of Aloo Gobhi (Spiced Potatoes and cauliflower) and Daal by hubbs. I did not cook anything 🙂

The crust on the post is Rye wheat crust. The dark crust went well with the moody joes. That is crust number 13! You can use any of the earlier 12 crusts(regular wheat or glutenfree options) as well. See the Collection here.
You can also make the sloppy stew with a combination of quinoa and millet. Or use cooked lentils or make some sloppy chickpeas. The Quinoa stew and jalapeno aioli are glutenfree.

Smoky and spicy stew with the citrusy sweet orange, spicy and cool Jalapeno Aioli. You must make this!
