Roasting carrots before making the classic dip from Veganomicon. Two kinds of garlic – sweetly roasted, and spicy raw, light, good as a dip for veggies, a spread on crackers or sandwiches.
Peeps! To make this a more accessible activity for a 3 year old – I found this cookie cutter method for making peeps. I prepare the sheets of marshmallow the night before and she and I cut out shapes in the morning.
