Muffins, again. :)

Naturally Orange flavored Coconut Pecan Muffins

I don't know what it is exactly, but the last few days recipes have just been popping into my brain. I have been coming up with something new every day.

It has been so hot here that I have been doing most, if not all of my baking at night. These muffins were the result of a 1 AM brainstorm.  My family loves them and has deemed this recipe blog worthy.  High praise, indeed.  I hope that you will like them as much as we do.

Orange flavored Coconut Pecan Muffins

3/8 cup Warm Water mixed with 1/8 cup of Flax Meal
1/3 cup Demerara Sugar
1 cup So Delicious Coconut Milk Unsweetened (or Non Dairy Milk of Choice)
1/3 cup Orange Juice
1/4 cup Extra Light Olive Oil (or Canola Oil)
1 cup Unbleached All Purpose Flour (or White Wheat)
2/3 cup Spelt Flour
1/3 cup Coconut Flour
1 Tbsp. Baking Powder
1 tsp. Salt
1/2 cup Unsweetened Shredded Coconut
1/2 cup Pecan Pieces

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Whisk together the warm water and flax meal and allow to gel while you gather the other ingredients.  Stir in demerara, then coconut milk, orange juice, and oil.  Set aside, and measure flours, baking powder, salt, coconut, and pecans into a medium sized mixing bowl.  Add wet ingredients to dry and stir until well combined.  Spoon into lightly oiled muffin tins.  Bake for 18-20 minutes or until muffins are nicely browned and set in the middle.  Transfer muffins to wire rack to cool, then eat or store in an airtight container.  This recipe should make 12 normal sized muffins.

    You had me with the biscuits, but the muffins sound delish, too! Thanks for sharing the recipes. I'm always lookin' for more ways to use my favorite So Delicious coconut milk!

Cool, Creamy, and Delicious

Vegan Cherry Cream Cheese Pie My husband has been craving the Cherry Cream Cheese Pie he remembers from the summers before we went vegan. Our kids are less picky just wanted something sweet and cool. Today, I realized I was up to the task with a little help from Mama Pea with a vegan version of sweetened condensed milk . It looks like the old pie, it smells like the old pie, and yes, it tastes like the old pie. You can't see it, but I am definitely doing a victory dance here. As always, my non-dairy milk of choice for the sweetened condensed is So Delicious Coconut Milk. You are lucky I was able to get a camera shot of this it is disappearing fast. Next time, I might try adding another 4 oz of Cream Cheese substitute or using full fat canned coconut milk instead of So Delicious for the non dairy sweetened condensed milk to try for a thicker consistency, but the taste was awesome, as is.  Seriously, you should try it right now.

Pizza Lounge in Dallas

Vegan Sofa King at Pizza Lounge We had the opportunity to try a vegan pizza night at Pizza Lounge . We were lucky enough to choose Sunday evening as the time to go. On this particular Sunday, they had live music. The music was played by a great group of guys known as The Poor Kings . We ordered the Un-humus appetizer and a vegan version of PL's Sofa King. Check out the menu for the details on all the pizzas they can make vegan for you.  The un-humus could use more salt, garlic, and extra virgin olive oil, but the flat bread was awesome.  As for the pizza, they tossed on every one of their vegan meat substitutes with a decent sauce and excellent crust.  I would have like some more vegetables and an addition of olives, but it was a good pizza, and a great funky atmosphere to go with the live band.  I would highly recommend you try it out if you are ever in the area.  If it is Sunday night and The Poor Kings are playing, I might just be there. ;)
