I made the chocolate chip cookies last night and they are excellent.

I made the Great Smoky Mountain Cheeze today. Wow. Blew my mind. I'm going to be eating grilled cheeses all week long.

I really want to try this. I just need to remember to get the agar. Do you think that it's kind of low in calories/fat? It looks so good but I am not sure that now is the time. (just started calorie-counting)

I'm counting calories right now too so I figured it out when I made it! According to the site I use to track, it's about 100 calories for 1/8th of the recipe (which is plenty for one sandwich).

That's awesome! You just made my day! :)

Did you include the xanthan gum? I want to try her ice creams but I'm not sure where to find that stuff.

Sorry, just seeing this. Yes, to make the Very Vanilla Ice Cream, I used xanthan gum. It does sound scary, doesn't it? Makes things have a creamy texture (from what I've read). Very easy to find in Boston area - the baking aisle near all the flours. They sell it at Whole Foods.

I made the Quinoa Burgers last night and they are so tasty! I loved the texture so much. Next time I'm going to bake them and see how they turn out. I think these would make excellent nuggets with ranch or bbq sauce.

I also made two of the pies and they turned out great! The Mint Truffle Pie was so decadent and the perfect texture! I want to make this pie with coffee extract next time. The Double Chocolate Strawberry Pie was a hit with my neighbors who I made it for as well!

The brownies from this book are insane. It took every fiber of my being to only eat one of them last night.

I love those brownies! They're my event dish now: I'm taking them to an omni potluck this weekend, and a vegan baking meetup next month. So yummy.

Got it! Haven't tried anything yet but it looks great.

I just got this and have made the chocolate chip cookies which were good. I have some things marked to try soon.

The tomato salad dressing is excellent. I'll have to play around with a sub for the balsamic vinegar so my husband can try it.

I have the BBQ sauce simmering away right now!

I made the smoked seitan loaf with the sandwich slaw and used them on the Q sandwiches with my favorite bbq sauce and tami's 50/50 burger buns. Super good. The loaf makes a lot.
I also made the orange cornbread waffles which earned the Invictus seal of approval.

Just made the brownies for a morning tea at work tomorrow. I haven't done the glaze yet, but Boyfriend and I wanted to try one first. Boyfriend took one bite and exclaimed that they were terrible and there is NO WAY that they should all go to work with me tomorrow. Then he tried to steal mine and shovel it into his mouth while proclaiming that 'NO, you won't like it, it's awful, give it to me'. Pretty glad I bought enough ingredients to make another batch just for us tomorrow night.

Indeed. Everything received the Invictus Seal of Approval.

that smoky seitan loaf is now my seitan-obsessed bf's favorite. We were a bit skeptical about doing one big loaf because our other fave recipes (like Viva Vegan) have you make smaller loaves but the texture is PERFECT. We didn't get around to making the Q sandwiches but used it for such diverse things as stroganoff, fajitas and something else I'm blanking on...

oh and the ribz were a huge hit at the 95% veg bbq we attended with our downstairs neighbors on the 4th. People were very confused that we had MADE, not bought, them, which is always fun!

I made the Breakfast Banana Bread (not sure of the exact name)- YUM! It's like chocolate chip blondies with a banana flavor added to it. They don't look like banana bread at all. I will be making these again for sure.

The brownies went down well at my work morning tea/very professional food-centric meeting. My 'big boss' was eating one when someone asked a question, and he was all 'NOT NOW, I'm very busy eating these'.

That's so funny!

I finally ordered this. Can't wait!

I have lemon blueberry loaf.

And just a 6.5 hour drive away...

pandacookie · **Posted:** Sat Jul 09, 2011 4:59 pm

I will make it for you when you come back through. I will still have blueberries. Perhaps a loaf/pie trade.

Hurray!

I am currently gobbling up the cinnamon sugar bread.

I would really like to try that! Baking is my nemesis but Julie gave me faith with her perfect English Muffins.
