Chocolaty Crinkle Cookies

December 9, 2009

Yum:

Crinkle cookies are on of those things that we really only make around the holidays so that makes them extra special   This year, I tried the recipe from Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar and they came out super awesome!  The only change I made to the recipe was that I subbed some Ener-G for the flax [...]

Unfit for Santa

December 5, 2009

Professional cookie decorators we are not:

They may look like we made them with our feet but they sure are yummy!  They’re also really fun to make, baking and decorating gingerbread men is one of my favorite Christmas activities   We always use this awesome recipe from the ppk, love it, and we make at [...]

I think sushi just might be my favorite thing to have for lunch, especially when it’s homemade:

AMAZING:

These beauties are the Magical Coconut Cookie Bars from Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar.  There are about five million cookies I want to try from that book, but these are the first and they are so good!  I’m not sure what I want to try next but if Shane has anything to say about [...]

Oatmeal Almond Cookies!

November 21, 2009

Aaaaaaand, we’re back!  And we have cookies

I made these babies last night, they’re oatmeal almond cookies,  a slight twist on my standard oatmeal cookies.  We didn’t have quite enough canola oil so I added in just a bit of olive oil and hoped that it wouldn’t be gross.  It was quite a yummy sub [...]

Choco Chip Cookies!

October 6, 2009

 
Sometimes basic is good and you can’t get much more simple and basic than good old chocolate chip cookies.  I made these last night using this recipe from the PPK blog and they came out pretty yummy, definitely not the best cookies I’ve ever had, but not too shabby.  The only change I made to [...]

Last night’s dinner was all about delicious starchy comfort food.  I was planning to make bbq tempeh but I had a strong potato craving to feed!  So I poked around online for a good Potatoes Au Gratin recipe and found this one, we had all the ingredients and it didn’t look as high fat as other recipes [...]

Fusion powered pizza

September 18, 2009

Way back in 2007 Kala and I entered the Vegetarian Times magazine reader recipe contest.  My entry was a Thai Chik’N Pizza, oh and it won 3rd place.  Wednesday night we revisited the recipe as we do from time to time.  I stuck fairly close to the published recipe only substituting some ketchup (2 tsp) [...]
