Vegan Zucchini Bread #2

Zucchini Bread

This is evening number 2 with zucchini bread. This time I added raisins, went 1 and 1 with white and wheat flour, added about 3 cups zucchini, and 3/4 of a cup of water in loosen it up.
I'm excited to see how this one turns out. I think I will substitute the oil with applesauce, next time.

Vegan Cherry Cobbler, FTW!



This was my very successful attempt at a vegan cherry cobbler. It is a mash up of a few recipes I found.

1 1/2 cups white flour
1 stick soy margarine
1/4 cup sugar (plus more for sprinkling on top)
1 1/2 Tbsp. baking powder
1/2 cup almond milk (or any plain nut milk you want)
1 can vegan fruit (cherry, peach, raspberry, etc)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 9 inch pie plate.
In food processor pulse dry ingredients.
Cut in butter and pulse well until crumbly.
With machine running, add in milk until dough just pulls together.
Pour fruit in greased tin. Spread dough in small rounds over fruit until covered.
Sprinkle sugar over top of dough.
Bake for about 35-45 minutes (I baked for 40 mins, it was perfect).
You can check out the instructions for making your own fruit filling at the About.com page.


Of course, topped with ice cream is best. But, regardless it was awesome. Try it out, let me know how it went.

Nothing is worse than watching a man play video games

My loving, helpful, 21st century husband is none of those things when there is 'free time' and he can gorge on XBox 360 love. Right now it's Fallout 3.
I'm loving and helpful, and even supportive of his need to lose himself in a game now and then... But non-linear, open ended, post-apocalyptic, F.P.S. is so god damn boring to watch. Makes me wish I'd been taken out in nuclear warfare.


Today I will be attempting a peanut butter pudding. A dear aunt of mine forwarded me the recipe, knowing how we are always on the lookout for vegan deserts!

Zucchini is freaky


Went out to the garden today. Found a freakishly large zucchini. So, obviously, I made zucchini bread. Of course it's vegan, and naturally I made it at 11 o'clock at night.










I haven't taken any after pictures because I'm ashamed I already ate half of the red loaf. True, it would be better with eggs milk and butter; but, this makes the husband happy too.
This lovely gem of a blog is where I found the recipe I used. Hell Yeah It's Vegan
