Vegan Carob Waffles

Image
The delicious vegan Carob Waffle  (NOT Pancake) I have been publishing (and sampling) so many carob recipes lately that it was inevitable that I would next come up with a delicious carob waffle recipe-- our household LOVES a great waffle! So, here it is! And it is soooo YUMMY!  I am not exaggerating!  INGREDIENTS: 2 cups of whole wheat flour 2/3 cup of raw carob flour 1 tablespoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda (without aluminum) 1 very ripe mashed banana 2/3 cup granulated sugar 1 1/2 cup of non-dairy milk (I used soy) 1/2 cup of filtered water 2/3 cup of grape seed oil *all of the above ingredients (except baking soda/baking powder/water) were organic but use what you have access to. **I did not use salt or vanilla because our little dog likes carob treats that we like. You can add how much salt and/or vanilla you usually use-- I didn't notice any problem with deleting them. ***Grape seed oil is a polyunsaturated, mild flavored oil that goes well with sweet items.

Tofu Mayo Recipe: Vegan, Gluten-Free, No Oils

Image
This is a purist, classical tofu mayo recipe-- something perhaps your Mom whipped up back in the day (and I mean, "whipped" in that perhaps she used a beater instead of a blender?)  It is creamy, rich, thick, and stick-to-your vegan sandwich content (tomato? tempeh? burger?) Once you have the ingredients and have mixed it up a few times, you can embellish in the way you might want it to taste (with relish? garlic? pepper?) (See some ideas below the recipe) If you have some kind of trendy take on tofu-- that it is not the great high nutrient food that it is-- you might want to check out the Tofu topics by Dr. Michael Greger , the much-esteemed M.D./Science Researcher and founder of NutritionFacts.org .    Just a sample of the great work he does to keep us motivated to keep eating healthy can be found in this video TOFU MAYO RECIPE: INGREDIENTS 350 g/ 12 oz. medium/firm Organic Tofu (broken in chunks) Juice squeezed from 1 fresh organic Lemon 1 teaspoon Dijon

Best Scramble Tofu Mix - vegan, gluten-free

If you have ever made yourself some tofu scramble with the expectation that it will be a great sub for your favourite scramble eggs back in the day, well, you know that disappointment. I have to say, though, that there is a new kid in town! I don't know where I actually got this recipe from.  I just found it in scribbled into a book on my never-ending quest to quell the clutter in our home.  I think it may be out of a library cookbook, or maybe someone dictated it to me.  In any case, I apologize if it is your precious recipe.  I have changed some of the wording, and some of the ingredients. So, the glory of this actual recipe is in the mixture that you make up in advance and always have on hand when the urge for a tofu scramble hits! The flavour blend is outstanding.  I also like how the mix is set up to provide just enough of its herby deliciousness (1 1/2 Teaspoons per serving) so that there is not an imbalance in either flavour or moistness. Blend the following in a
