There are very few delicious-and-affordable restaurants in Ferndale. There are, however, no fewer than four grocery stores within about 5 blocks of my house. Two of them are very good--one a produce place, one a discount health food store. On my way home from the coffee shop, I can stop into both and get ingredients to go cook dinner. So, in my quest for deliciousness, I have been learning to cook things. The best so far:
1) Minestrone Soup from Vegan Yum Yum
2) Pasta with Sweet Potatoes and Leeks from Real Simple
3) Chocolate-Chipotle Chili from the Urban Vegan
I subbed brown rice for pasta in the minestrone, rice pasta for wheat pasta in the sweet potato/leek recipe, and garden veggie tempeh for seitan in the chili. Also, had to leave off the tamarind paste on the chili (b/c I couldn't find any) AND, unfortunately, had to sub regular chili powder for chipotle chili powder (couldn't find any chipotle chili powder in Ferndale). All the recipes turned out fantastic, though I bet the chili's even better if you can find the chipotle powder.
