Let's see... a couple of days ago, I had some stale bread and a hankering for some Fronch Toast (ala VwaV). Oh yeah! This stuff is SOOOOOO good. Thank you Isa!! French Toast used to be one of my most favorite breakfast foods, and I thought I'd have to live without it as a vegan. I eat mine with homemade raspberry jam. Yumola.
Here's a Giant Salad that I had for dinner a couple of nights ago... so many goodies - raw beets, carrots, kidney beans, red cabbage, tomatoes, celery, walnuts, fresh basil, tofu ricotta, hemp seeds, and lettuce! I love the tofu ricotta in the salad so much... especially after I take the picture and get to mix it all together.
Last night my cutie nephew CW spent the night. I had a hard time fixing a dinner that he liked (sigh!)... but I hit a homerun with breakfast - pancakes!! I usually make more "hippy-style" pancakes, but CW isn't used to hippie food at all (thus the dinner problem)... so for the pancakes I just used the recipe for "basic pancakes" from the Joy Of Cooking. I used half whole wheat pastry flour, and used egg replacer instead of eggs. They were fluffy and amazing!
Here you can see Musty and CW enjoying the pancakes - as you can see, they were a big hit!! We also had apple juice and fresh strawberries.
Tonight I made a delicious pot of veggie-licious chili: spicy and full of veggies. I just basically made it up... and I was very pleased with the results. It's got onions, garlic, chopped carrots, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, 1 big can of diced tomatoes, 2 cans of "chili beans," and loads of cardamom, chili powder, and cayenne. Plus some cilantro... mmmm!
Lastly, this week a friend send me a link to The Animal Rescue Site - it's one of those easy sites where all you have to do is click and they get a donation. Click today!
as normal the food looks good! cute photo ;)
ReplyDeletelol- I *love* that picture of the pancake enjoyment- they're so cute hamming it up like that!
ReplyDeleteYou know, I've never made vegan French toast. I think I should try it soon... yours looks so excellent.
The salad's beautiful, I love the chili!
ReplyDeletep.s. I try to remember the animal rescue site every day. It's a painless little habit!
ReplyDeleteFrench toast was one of my favorite non-vegan breakfast treats as well, and I'm so glad it can be just as special--even more so--without the icky eggs! I like the recipe in VLV more than the VWaV, but each to his own, right?
ReplyDeleteYour salads always start my mouth watering, and I think this one might top them all!
Click to rescue the animals? I think I can do that. :)
Yeah, I love French toast and pancakes too. Hippie style or non.
ReplyDeleteYour chili looks great too. I'm so into chili right now.
ohh that french toast looks really good, as does, the gorgeous giant salad & chili. I have missed franch toast.
ReplyDeleteI might make all those things this weekend- thanks!
Boy oh boy every single thing looks fabulous! I'm going to have to give the fronch toast a try, seeing as how your guys went crazy for it.
ReplyDeleteThat Fronch Toast rocks. Omniman always requests it. Looks like it charmed your hubby and nephew.
ReplyDeleteBreakfast has always been my favorite meal of the day, and I was worried when I went vegan that I would miss out on the old stand-by's. I've made french toast once in the past 2 years, and it wasn't that great. I need to try that recipe, because everyone always raves about it. Between the pancakes and the french toast (and everything else!), you're making me salivate!
ReplyDeleteOh, your salad looks so action packed!
ReplyDeleteI really gotta get that book! The fronch toast looks beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThe salad is mouth watering as well.
Love the photo of the pancake munching! I have added the Animal Rescue Site to my favourites. I will try to remember to go every day…
