My Very First Spork Night!! (Part 1)

For Christmas, my wonderful parents got me a subscription to www.sporkonline.com which gives online cooking classes. Spork started as two sisters doing cooking classes in LA, but (what I assume) by popular demand they brought their classes to the internet.



My first class was Southern Comfort Foods. Watching the class was amazing. Everything looked SOOO GOOD, and the students in the online class seemed really pleased with the foods. What I really liked is that the girls really gave a lot of information about the foods they were using, possible substitutes, etc. They are so much fun to watch.



So last night, I made my first meal...for two non-vegans and myself.

Tender Garlic Collard Greens with Tempeh Bacon

Creamy Mac and Cheese

Cornbread Muffins with Chilis

The was the meal at the table before we dug in.

My plate. MMMMMmmm. :) Everything tasted AMAZING. The mac and cheese was really creamy and cheesy and delicious. I'm not a big collards fan, but the smoky tempeh bacon flavor made them fantastic (I got seconds). The corn muffin was unlike anything I've ever tasted. That recipe included both maple syrup and diced green chilis. It was definitely different, but really really yummy. We all literally. spent the first five minutes of the meal either silent or just saying "Mmmm".
