Vegan Bites

 

Veganism.  I'm getting this vegan thing down.  Kind of.  Realizing it's actually pretty easy to make adjustments and tasty too.  Especially around here where lots of dairy alternatives are at our fingertips.  Well, if not literary, at our fingertips then at least nearby.  We made these delicious biscuits to go with our cream of kale soup.  Cream coming from soy milk.  Using kale from the garden.  Vegan pizza was served alongside cheesy goodness and for this one I'd have to say cheese was tastier.  But this pie........vegan deliciousness.  Made out of dates, hazelnuts, almonds, chocolate, coconut oil, Irish moss  and topped with a cashew icing.  Yummy yum.......

Waffles Walk

Waffles and a walk in the woods.  Not ordinary waffles.  The kind with eggs and milk.  My kids are pushing me to new endeavors in cooking.  So these are vegan waffles.  We substituted eggs with flaxseed and water and milk with coconut milk.  They were good and better with a good helping of syrup and applesauce on top.  Eli didn't think so.  He thought they tasted like warmed up cardboard.  He's going vegetarian not vegan.  I'll have to make a different batch for him.  That was our first jar of canned applesauce that we had opened.  Yummy.  So, we have a vegan, a newly proclaimed vegetarian, a girl whose not eating sugar and then the old omnivores.  We're doing some experimenting lets say.  Emily also made peanut butter cookies sweetened with bananas.  I deemed them Breakfast Cookies.  I wonder whose going to eat all these sweet sugary sweets we have around?
