thanks, i will definitely take a peak at that recipe and appreciate the double recommendation ;)

Any ideas of on what to do with extra smokey seitan? I made a loaf for my girlfriend to use in sandwiches, and we've got a bunch left over...

saute, or crumb and fry?

I tried to make the oatmeal raisin cookies but with chocolate chips. I subbed oil for margarine and reduced the sugar and ended up with a crumbly mess. All my fault! So I am turning it into cookie bars and we'll see how they come out of the oven.

I'm glad you admitted it was your fault, because I was about to say OMG WHAT DID YOU EXPECT?! :P

I know! It was stupid! The crumbly mess is super delicious though! I think they'll be okay as bars.

They'll still be lovely. I made a fail batch of cookies once, rolled them up into a log and sliced them.. They were a party hit!!

J-dub, don't forget to leave a negative Amazon review!

I blame the shape of the book!

The bars are totally delicious! I am using them (and the banana bread) as thank yous for folks who are helping me move. I think they'll do nicely.

Does not compute.

You could do what I did. Every time you pass the fridge, saw off a hunk of it, squeeze a splort of ketchup onto it, and eat it with your fingers on your way to the living room. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Pumpkin pancakes for breakfast today. They were delicious!

That is so cute!

I ended up dicing a bunch and sauteeing with red jalapenos and throwing over a pizza, so good! I threw the other half in the freezer to remember on another day.

i bought some bob's soy flour today :) definitely have it in mind for the beautiful blueberry loaf....... (and also a couple of other recipes from another cookbook)

i have the banana chocolate chip loaf in the oven now....... the batter smells and tastes amazing! can't wait for it to come out of the oven!

i didn't feel like cleaning my mini food processor to "blend" the banana so i just used my pasty blender hand tool and it worked just fine :)

time to clean up my mess......

the past few weeks i've been totally obssesed with this book.

I know the cookie recipe pretty much by hand now.
Vampire Fries - yum. (I can't have too many "deep fried" fries, the oil hurts my stomach
brown rice hazelenut burgers
quinioa burgers
cinnamon sugar bread
double cornbead buns
rosemary buns (and swap out - cilantro & jalpeno buns)

yummm.

I usually just mash banana with a fork for banana bread and it always comes out fine! I'd never bust out a food processor just to blend a banana! I should really make that banana bread. Her bread recipes are so good.

the banana bread is fantastic, i was inspired to make it since a couple of people recently posted how yummy it was.

i bought bananas specifically to make this bread and finally today they were perfectly overripe :) i'll definitely make this bread again and may also add in raisins or craisins or blueberries too, with or without the chocolate. it's a beautiful loaf!

I made the cinnamon sugar bread with raisins this time...

and um...

well...

the bread kind of...

exploded.

(okay not explode. but it did "POP" like the top literally started to come off and there was raisins raisins everywhere. also. my oven is enjoying cinnamon sugar. (so thankful i lined my oven with tin foil, for easy cleaning!). but i don't know why though

Hm. I've made that bread several times, and never had a problem, although I'm not sure if I've ever added raisins. I don't know why that would have happened.

so sad about your bread exploding but thank goodness you lined your oven with tin foil, is that something you usually do? if you hadn't done that, i would have cried and cried at the sticky mess to clean up.

I'm thinking of making a double batch of the dressing for an Easter pot-luck at work. Have any of you doubled this recipe? Will I need to bake it longer?

I made the chicken style roast again and my dad keeps on hacking off lumps of it and eating it! haha. It is good though!

That smokey seitan is very good! Yum!

I still haven't made that smokey seitan, I keep meaning to cause I have read lots of good reviews so I'll have to do that soon. I love the Chilli from this book, so quicky and easy. I made the blueberry lemon loaf the other day and that was pretty good too.

Just made the Mac and cheese with 2 changes. I couldn't find smoked paprika at the grocery store so I use regular and added some liquid smoke, and I added broccoli because I think Mac and cheese could always stand a little broccoli.

It was really thick and creamy and made a decent portion with the broccoli added in. It was also super quick to put together and hubby approved. I'll definitely make that again.
