I use tofu in soups. It just adds protein. I usually thicken my soups with lentils. You can also add tahini, which just makes it deliciously creamy.
We do have a cookie recipe - we call them Chuck Norris cookies, because they're like a roundhouse kick to your arteries, but they're good!
Cream together 125g Nuttelex and 1 cup sugar, then add 1 tsp vanilla and 2 tbsp raspberry jam. Use a wooden spoon to fold through 1 cup SR flour, 1 cup plain flour, 1 cup desiccated coconut. Then add 100g chopped macadamias (add chopped white choc if you'd like to be very decadent!)
Make it into cookie shapes (any size seems to work) and bake at about 190 for 10 minutes.
Hi Girls,
How is everyone going? Not much action happening in here lately All is well here, made a delish brown rice risotto last night with grated sweet potato, grated zucchini, heaps of garlic, tomato and tahini(along with secret herbs and spices) had with tortillas. My brother was over and he ate with us which was suprising as usually my family wont have a bar of my cooking.
Oh a new favourite on top of brown rice- Do the pasta sauce thing(raguletto or dolmio whatever) with what you want in it then 3 soup spoons of tahini. Tastes soooo good!
Dinner tonight for me- Avocado on toast with lime and beer with lime A friend gave me a bunch of limes from her tree they are so good Ive been using them with everything.
Hello Ash! How are you?? I am well, nothing too exciting happening
cheesecake sounds gooood. I do crunchy lemon muffins so I going to try and use limes instead of lemons.
Hi all!
Winter time, so back into my barley ragouts. Had one tonight with roasted pumpkin and it was ssssoooo good!
Peach, put the lime juice on your avocado too! Yum! We had a party on the weekend, so used heaps of limes. I have also been having them in water to settle my tummy - still a bit churny!
I had brown rice with lemon juice, wakame, pepper and mayo the other day. I just felt like it. (actually, weird prggo craving for lemon pepper tuna, and was an awesome substitute)
I made vegan cupcakes on the weekend for our party, and they flew off the plate! I used a Nuttelex - based icing, so it was a bit shimmery, which everyone loved. I love how often people claim to hate Nuttelex, but then could eat my cake icing off a spoon! Hahaha.
I am really well. DS2 is climbing the walls and chairs and benches now! He is constantly on the go. I bet your DD is too!
Yeah, my cheezecake recipe is lemon, but I figure I can substitute with limes. Your muffins sound interesting. What makes them crunchy? I might have some limes left over, so I might want to try making your muffins.
The undisolved sugar with lemon/ lime suice syrup that goes on top makes it 'crunchy'.
Audax- What is wakame? Thats no good you've been feeling queasy, hopefully it will pass soon and you can enjoy the beautiful pregnant glow What goes in your ragout?
Last night had thai take out from a local place we hadnt tried- it was SO good! Best vego dumplings
Wakame is the seaweed that goes in miso soup. It's a pretty big hit in this house!
Average barley ragout just has onion, garlic, barley and stock in a 1:4 ratio. Last ngiht I added chopped tomato, roasted pumpkin and fresh basil. But you can add anything, it's always yum.
Muffins sound good. I made yummy apple muffins on the weekend - left the apple in great big chunks, and cooked them on a slightly lower heat than usual, so it went all soft and lovely.
I dont really like miso- it reminds me of pork for some reason(?) so I dont know if i'd like wakame. Yum apple muffins sound so good, I miss baking Im just so sick of our oven either taking 3 hours or burning anything I cook.
Just ate whole packet of wasabe peas should probably eat a proper dinner :P
Oh you poor thing! Are you taking anything? Ginger, maxalon? Its the worst feeling hey but it will pass even though it feels like you'll be sick foooorever. Im sure heaps of people on BB have given you lots of good advice already And the upside? You have a baby growing in your tummy, YIPPEEEEE!!!
P.s made a laksa for dinner tonight. Piglet chucked her whole bowl on the floor and ate a vegemtie sandwich instead *roll eyes*
Yumm, Peach! I haven't had laksa in forever! Awesome idea, will have to talk DH into it.
I got home tonight and he had already cooked a vegie pasta. Perfect.
None of the classic m/s cures are working for me - eating before I get out of bed makes it worse! Lemon juice in water works, fizzy water, and I'm wearing sea bands all the time. And eating sushi ginger from time to time. It doesn't sem to make any difference, but I do love it!
I didn't cook a laksa but we were in Byron on the weekend and I got one from Asia Joe's. I finished the WHOLE thing and some of my sister's nasi goreng - hardly anyone else at the table saw the bottom of their bowls, but I am eating soooooo much
Through the day I usually just have water crackers or rice crackers. Simple carbs seem to help. And sea bands. I didn't think they were doing anything, until I forgot them one day.
Anyone else find it ironic that Smith's Chicken flavour chips are vegan, but Salt & Vinegar aren't? I didn't realise, until some friends brought them round - I thought it was an odd choice to bring to a vegan house, and then was very surprised!
Add one by one, in this order, then sweat for a while.
1 cup barley
4 cups stock
Simmer for 45 minutes. Then I chucked in:
1 head worth of broccoli florets
1/2 bag green beans
kernels from 2 corn cobs
however many tomatoes we had left! I think maybe 3...
Squueze over juice of 1 lemon and then stir through 2 tsp tahini.
It was a bit of a "clean out the fridge" meal, but it was sooooooo good. I love barley, especially in winter. Yum yum yum
GF Chocolate cupcakes (I called them "souffle" cupcakes because they rose over the edge of their papers)
1 1/2 cups gluten free SR flour
1/2 cup cocoa
1 cup raw sugar
4 tbsp vegetable oil
2 eggs worth of no egg
1 cup soy milk
1 tsp bi carb
1 tsp baking powder
Mix the dry ingredients, then add the wet. May need more oil if it's not a good pouring consistency. Mix well, then leave it to stand for 5 minutes, before spooning into cupcake papers. Bake at 180 degrees for about 20 minutes.
I just put a blob of chocolate nuttercream icing in the middle of each and then topped it with Sweet William chocolate chips. They look wicked, and taste divine. I am so proud of myself.
Those cupcakes sound divine Audax!
How is everyone going?
I made homemade chai for the first time last night it was AMAZING!!!! Our house smelt so good.The recipe only made 3 cups which didnt last very long so Im going to make more today. Yuuum Planning on making pumpkin and spinach canneloni for dinner tonight which I havnt done before, I have wholemeal lasagne sheets so hopefully it works out.
