Cheesy faux-mage spirals

Mmmmm… cheesy pasta! [Reminds me of the Friends episode where Joey is shooting a “mmmmm…noodle soup” commercial] I digress. Considering how sucky the brown rice tortillas were, I had zero expectations for this gluten free pasta.  I mean, they’re both made of rice. *I have since tried some of the tricks you guys left in the comments section of this post and there is a slight improvement in the texture, but I think I’ll just make chips out of the rest of the tortillas* Nice stats.  Nice start. They cooked like normal noodles.  And they… Read more >

Just like the bread

  As far as I’m concerned, it’s officially Fall.    And in the spirit of the season, pumpkin puree is back on the menu.  Remember this bread recipe?  Well, how about a FODMAPS friendly oat bake version?   Pumpkin Banana Oat Bake (v, gf) oats water cinnamon coconut chia seeds I didn’t really measure the ingredients, just pulsed them in the magic bullet and gave the chia seeds some time to gel.    While the oat mix cooked in the microwave (I put it for 1.5 minutes because I was too lazy to wait for… Read more >

Seven minute strata

I made this on a whim because I had veggies on their last legs and part of a package of tofu.  Traditionally, you make strata with eggs and cheese and you bake it in the oven (here’s my mom’s recipe for a goat cheese, mushroom and asparagus strata).  But here’s a vegan version that’s fast and microwaveable. Vegan Veggie Strata Ingredients: leftover sautéed zucchini and squash 3-4 de-stemmed leaves of kale 1/2 red bell pepper 1 cup broccoli florets 2 slices of bread 10 oz (~3/4 package) silken tofu 1 cup almond milk 1 tbsp… Read more >

A vegan cheesecake that will wow non-vegans

I don’t make claims like that without knowing for certain they are the truth.    I searched high and low for the perfect cheesecake recipe.  But in the end, I went with my gut (and my taste buds).  You see the cheesecake had to be better than good, it had to be “the best.”  Why?  Because it was specially requested by my coworkers who were dying to try some of my vegan baking.  Opportunities like these don’t come often.  In fact, I can’t remember anyone at my old job making a special request for vegan… Read more >

Splat go the cookies

I had so many cookie fails today.  It was rather discouraging for my poor baking heart. I made FOUR batches of cookies today. FOUR!!!  And only one turned out.  One out of four is a horrible average.  Under ordinary circumstances it wouldn’t matter, because I’m usually just cooking/baking for me [and I rarely (slash never) show you guys my unsuccessful recipes].  However, as I mentioned before, these desserts have been specially requested for a work party.  And since this is my one shot to win my coworkers over with delicious vegan treats, I can’t show… Read more >
