I stayed in bed most of the morning (and afternoon) with a ridiculously bad hangover, which is so lame at my age.
When I finally downed some coffee and Excedrin, I needed something easy, comforting and nutritious to fill my belly. It seemed like a perfect time to break out this Vegan de Guadalupe cookzine, a fun bilingual recipe book that is chock full of Mexican fare.
(Aside: How darling is that cover? I desperately want a tattoo of it. Maybe for my first veganversary.)
First I made the Sopa de Fideo, a quick and flavorful noodle soup. The original recipe didn't call for tomatoes, but I'm a weirdo who craves diced tomatoes when I'm hungover, so ...
For dinner I made Calabacitas Guisadas using some amazingly flavorful squash from my organic CSA share. With corn and zucchini in a tangy tomato sauce, this tastes exactly like summer. I also tossed in some chickpeas that were looking for a good home.

I've been thinking about all the zines I need & that one is going on the list! That would be the best tattoo ever!
Cooking new vegan recipes while hungover is definitely not lame! I always crave super spicy food when I'm hungover, as if the heat will perk me up or something. Anyway, that zine is the cutest. Thanks for the review!
