February’s PPK “Red” Potluck

This past Sunday, it was the Chicago PPKs monthly potluck and Diana graciously hosted the get together. Our theme this month was red/Valentine’s Day! It was a very exciting theme, but it was really hard to decide what to make!! I ended up making gluten-free beet piergoies. I used this recipe for the filling & this one for the dough. I have never had them before, so I wasn’t sure if they came out good or not. They were really easy to make and they ended up tasting pretty good. I also made the dilly sauce from Vegan Eats World to go along with them!

Diana made a delicious non-alcholic sangria. It was light, refreshing, and very red! ;)

Diana also made the muhammara from Vegan Eats World! So delisious & it made a great appetizer!

Diana also made the Borscht recipe from Vegan Eats World, which was amazing!! It was one of the best soups that I have had in a long time. I will definitely be making this recipe sometime soon! {If you don’t own Vegan Eats World, I highly recommend that you get it!}

Nissa made stuffed peppers and they were amazing. I knew that they were going to be good because on the car ride there they smelled so good!!

For our dessert, Nissa made a sumptuous chocolate dessert that was also gluten-free!! I think that we all agreed that this was the best dish of the potluck.  It was really rich, decedent, and oh so good!

Everything tasted amazing & it was great spending time together as a group! I  look forward to potluck days not only for all the amazing food, but also being able to spend time with other like-minded people. This really helps to build a community, especially if you don’t know any vegans/or vegetarians.

The group!

I can’t wait until our next potluck! :)
