Veg for Life

Original Post of Lime-Coconut Muffin Recipe

was fruity and fun.  I used Pomegranate-Cherry Juice for the liquid.  The cake was frosted with a love cherry frosting, made by cooking down a half cup of frozen cherries and using the liquid to flavor and tint the vegan butter cream frosting.  Not as popular as the orange cake, although the frosting was a big hit with the birthday girl.  I am thinking I will use straight cherry juice or a cranberry raspberry juice next time. Cherry Pomegranate Cake 2 cups Unbleached All Purpose Flour 1 cup Spelt Flour 1/2 cup Coconut Flour 2 tsp Baking Soda 1 tsp Salt 2 cups Pomegranate-Cherry Juice 2 cups Demerara Sugar 2/3 cup Canola Oil 2 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar 1 tsp Lime Juice Grease and flour 9x13 pan.  Preheat oven to 350 F.  Whisk together flours, baking soda, and salt.  In separate bowl stir together demerara sugar, juices, oil, and vinegar.  Add wet ingredients to dry and whisk to combine.  Pour into prepared pan and bake for 35 minut...

Tofu Scramble but it was delicious.  Everyone cleaned their plates and that is a definite vote in favor of keeping this recipe.  Next time, I might try making it the night before and leaving it in the refrigerator to cook the next morning.  The kids were completely unaware of the pureed vegetables hidden in the tofu.  The rice gives the texture and appearance of scrambled egg without the cholesterol or cruelty. If your kids don't object to visible vegetables some diced peppers, onions, and tomatoes would be a tasty and nutritious addition to the scramble. Tofu Scramble 2 Tbsp Olive Oil 1/4 cup Onion (diced) 2 Carrots (thinly sliced) 12 oz Block of Firm Silken Tofu (drained, preferably with a Tofu Xpress) 1/4 cup So Delicious Coconut Milk (Unsweetened) 2 Tbsp Nutritional Yeast 1/2 tsp Cumin 1/2 tsp Tumeric 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder 1 tsp Salt 1/4 tsp Freshly Ground Black Pepper 3 1/2 cups Cooked Rice In a skillet over medium heat, saute onion and ca...

Pretzel Buns I love bread, can't get through a day without it.  I try to make it healthier, by using spelt flour, and coconut sugar instead of the more refined sugars. This recipe is highly addictive, so try not to make it too often. Pretzel Buns adapted from this recipe SERVES 12 , 1 dozen pretzel rolls     * 1 1/3 cups Warm Water     * 2 tablespoons Warm Non Dairy Milk     * 2 1/4 teaspoons Active Dry Yeast     * 1/3 cup Coconut Sugar     * 2 tablespoons Earth Balance Spread, melted     * 2 cups Unbleached All Purpose Flour     * 2 cups Spelt Flour     * Kosher Salt or Pretzel Salt     * 2 quarts Cold Water     * 1/2 cup Baking Soda    1.
