Well I will be cooking for just myself for the next few days, because Steven is away on a camping/climbing trip to Alabama. I feel like I almost forgot how to cook for only one person, since I am always cooking for two! I have still managed to eat well, though :) Here's a few things that I have enjoyed over the past few days...yay alone time!
Homemade Seitan Brats with Leeks and Apples,
Homemade Seitan Brats with Leeks and Apples, Roasted Brussel Sprouts, Rosemary Sweet Potatoes
BBQ Tofu (Veganomicon), Mashed Sweet Potatoes, Sauteed Kale
My Perfect Meal: Quinoa, Tofu, Sweet Potatoes, Kale, andTahini-Miso Sauce (Veganomicon)
Earlier this week, a bunch of my friends, all of whom happen to be roommates with Steven, had birthdays...Since they all live in the same house, I made them all one batch of cupcakes to share. With the recent COLD weather I wanted something "warm"feeling, so I made the Mexican Hot Chocolate Cupcakes from VCTOTW. I whipped up a Cocoa-Cinnamon Buttercream to top them off...and they also got a little kiss of powdered sugar!

These cupcakes are soooooo good! I absolutely love the combination of chocolate, cinnamon, and cayenne....it makes you feel all warm and happy inside. The coconut milk and cornmeal make them have an awesome texture, too! Make these! I might go so far as to say they trump an actual mug of hot chocolate...but maybe I would just like to enjoy them together :)
Even though I am appreciating this alone time, I think I am ready to cook for two again!

You seem to be doing OK for yourself. Food looks great! There are only 2 of us here, but I usually cook as if for 4, so we have lunches the next day.
When I see your delicious food I want to come over immediately. You wouldn't have to worry about cooking for one anymore :D
I wanted to make those cupcakes on Saturday, too! I was out of a couple of ingredients though....I'll get around to them soon.
