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.

BAKED TOFU: Sesame Surprise (Vegan, Gluten-Free)

I have to tell you that this BAKED TOFU recipe is one of my favourite tofu recipes of all time. Baked Tofu: Sesame Surprise  My husband and I have been back and forth on the Tofu Road.   We read a lot of health-related articles and watch a lot of (junk?) science on Youtube, so of course, we are well aware of the controversy around soy products... you know where you can go to read that side of the story as well. Well, here we are back again!  Because we have such great respect for slim heralds of plant-strong health like Dr. Darlene Blaney (recipes on this site),  Dr. Hans Diehl, Dr. John A. McDougall, Lani  Muelrath , Dr. Neal Barnard , among many others, some people we actually rub shoulders with on a regular basis, these tofu-eating crusaders for a healthy lifestyle have won us back again to tofu.   We're sort of like "slacker voters" I guess... we go with who impresses us the most with their pitch for benefits we will receive, and we vote with our forks.
