an apple and almond clafouti for my school's international dinner.

^i don't know what that is but it sounds good.

i made gorgonzola burgers with chipotle mayo (yes i'm very pleased with myself).

chicken cordon blue, rice, and chocolate mouse. And a mushroom sauce. I had to supervise a french restaurant at my school on Friday.

chicken fried chicken w/ gravy, steamed spinach, and mashed potatoes.

soy "chik fil a" sandwich w/cheddar cheese

i made some very colorful cupcakes tonight.

(Vegan) Ginger snaps

Ham & Cheese omelet.

Either a fried egg and cheese sandwich or black beans and quinoa. I haven't decided how much effort I feel like exerting.

three pieces of grilled chicken

tofu stir-fry.

Coconut cupcakes (my mom's Mother's Day present)

Baked Mahi-mahi with garlic hollandaise sauce, herb potatoes,cheddar cheese biscuits and a salad.

spaghetti.

are you either vegan or vegetarian?

Vegetarian, but I love vegan baking.

Spaghetti with sauteed mushroom and endive, homemade tofu basil ricotta, and pesto.

hamburgers.

i just just just finished making whole wheat pancakes with apples

grilled pork chops, brocoli with cheese, and garlic buttery rice.

I made some applesauce (and sliced one of my fingers in the process )

haha shake n bake and twice baked potatoes

One of the easiest things in the world to make: Banana Bread

that's not true. i cook all the time, and i have yet to master baking the perfect banana bread. they always turn out overdone, or too mushy.

urgh. i want banana bread right now.

i just made vegan/organic lemon poppy seed muffins. :)

i think it was called texas ranch chicken. it was sooooooooo good.

Coconut rice. It was good.

Spaghetti and meatballs. Secret's in the sauce.

Scrambled tofu.

^^ i had some scrambled tofu for dinner. :)
i've got a zucchini/carrot bread baking in the oven as i speak...err...type. my first attempt at vegan baking.

I LOVE vegan baking. Hope it turned out good!

i just had a piece for breakfast and it was great. i'll probably be the only one who thinks so though... i never cook with white flour, only whole wheat, so it is a little heavy and grainy. [also probably because of the ground flaxseed to replace the eggs]

i think it went well though. come on over and get a slice

Yeah, replacing eggs is tricky. When I baked snicker doodles once, I used... I think it's baking soda, oil, and water, not sure of the proportions. They came out okay. Apparently, in cakes, you can use blended silken tofu, which I want to try next.

Next time you make your zucchini/carrot bread, try sifting the flour, and if that doesn't help its dense-ness, add a 1/2 tsp. of baking powder.

I was a vegetarian for 8 (almost 9) years, vegan for 4 of those years. I used to use tofu as an egg replacer, depending on what I was preparing. Now a days there are all sorts of things you can do.

This is a good egg replacer:

Then there's the classic:
1 egg = 2 Tbsp. water + 1 Tbsp. oil + 2 tsp. baking powder

Sometimes I'd use random things, like applesauce or bananas as thickening agents. Bananas work well with things like french toast, since it makes things sort of stick together, like an egg would. Applesauce works fairly well in baked goods, such as brownies.

On an entirely different note, last thing I made/prepared was bbq ribs, mashed potatoes, corn (they had a great deal for fresh corn on the cob at Kroger) and cheesecake.

I'm wary of using fruit as binders though, because wouldn't it taste like it? Well, I know it would taste like banana, but what about applesauce?

Depends. In the example of french toast, bananas work. If it were something else, might not. Sometimes you have to be creative and think about what foods would work together and what wouldn't work together. Also, some fruits taste entirely different when they are cooked. That's where experimentation comes in. I've never tasted applesauce in brownies.

Tofu is good because it typically will take on the flavor of other more potent ingredients. I just didn't find it to work too well as a "binder."

Edit: Right now (5:30PMish), grilling steak, fresh corn on the cob and baking potatoes. I wish I had one of those large glass containers to make sun tea in. They're so cheap, I just need to go out and get one.

^^by the way [i suppose i'm taking this completely of topic]
but i just discovered that white suger isn't vegan [or vegetarian for that matter] as bone char is used in the bleaching process. so basically, no more packaged candy for me [not that i really eat it] xD

i just had tofu, rice and carrots. quite yummy.

Yeah, sugar's an iffy thing. I think for the most part that sugar producers have stopped using bone char -- I think I read that a little bit ago -- but I'm not sure. But I try to stick to organic sugar and demerara sugar for the most part.

i am so thankful there is an organic/vegetarian/vegan food store 2 minutes walk from my place. i don't know how i would survive otherwise.
i just did some research and apparantly beet sugar is not refined. i'm going to do more research though, as i have found some websites to be unreliable.

Well, most sugar is going to be refined (processed) in some way, cuz, you know, that's how they get the little crystals.

Carrot cake. No photo :( but it was gooood.

last night i made baked tofu with braised baby bok choy

^ That sounds good.

my boyfriend and i are baking vegan chocolate chip cookies right now. two more minutes until i have to take them out of the oven. it should be interesting... it's our own recipe.

i love cooking. i should have gone to college for that. i think i may have missed one of my callings.

edit//

they turned out beautifully!
i need to post a picture... [and maybe a recipe? ]

why do you f*ck up the exposure on every picture you post? i mean i dont blame you, hides fat

haha. no, like i said before, i have no need to hide fat. it's just the magnificent work of my boyfriend's shitty fifteen dollar sanyo camera.
i am tempted to steal something from my dad's camera collection.

by this way, it's "i dont blame you. it hides fat" or "i don't blame you; it hides fat".
the second part is a comma splice.

Breakfast, taken with my laptops webcam. XD

i just made a loaf of bread so my boyfriend doesn`t starve while i`m in montreal for the next week.

A Nutella sandwich for lunch tomorrow !

I made vegan ginger cookies (Isa's recipe)

OMG YUM!
Please send some! ive been having hot pockets and peanut butter sandwiches for the past 3 months and i need something new
