Vegan Carob Waffles

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.

More Satisfying Savory Sandwich Spreads- Plant-Based (Vegan)

Sandwiches have an interesting history (see the bottom of the article) and most adults today, even the vegan ones, probably grew up eating an array of different types of fillers between the slices of bread that made up their sandwich: peanut butter and jam, egg salad, baloney, salmon, grilled cheese, roast beef, and burgers, to mention a few.

They are largely whole food, plant-based, so the ingredients do not include any animal products such as dairy, eggs, meat, fish, or fowl. Salt is used in very small quantities, if at all. Suggested herbs and spices are minimal. As in maki

Samm'n Spread

  There are quite a few different delicious recipes for this mock salmon spread out there and on the web. This particular recipe is a little lower in sodium, and has no added oils. It is, of course, plant-based (or "vegan" or "veganized" if you prefer). I'm calling it "Samm'n" just to distinguish it somewhat from the fish. This can be whipped up pretty quickly in a food processor or a blender. I would recommend chopping up the celery and carrot into fairly small pieces, and when you are done the processing/pulsing, you may find some large chunks that need to be separated and re-processed after you have removed the spread from the processing container. But the picky-ness is really worth it! It is yummy and makes about 2 1/2 cups or 6 great sandwiches or a topping for a multitude of crackers! INGREDIENTS:     2 cups of raw almonds- store-bought blanched or soaked overnight and "skin" at time of use, by boiling for exactly one minute and rin
