VeganMoFo day #21 - Banana Bread masquerade

Taking advantage of yet another neglected cookbook, here are Banana Oatmeal Cookies from The Shoshoni Cookbook. They are very flexible bendy cookies that really remind me of banana bread. That said, they are pretty good, though not as sweet as regular cookies. I'm toying around w/ putting on some glaze. I subbed "just like honey rice nectar" for the honey in the recipe. Oh yeah, I burned the 2nd sheet of cookies. yeah, my bad. Hopefully this isn't becoming a trend. I'm still eating them.


Can you tell which one was burned?

VeganMoFo day #20 - Curry Stir Fry

I'm on a kick w/ using my neglected cookbooks now. I broke out the Vegan Gourmet and made some Tempeh with Curry Peanut Sauce. You can check out this recipe on Amazon. Click on Look Inside and go to page 186.

The main components were carrots, celery, tempeh, onions, sauce & spices on top of rice noodles with soy sauce (instead of kasha). I also put a banana on there thinking it would be good. Not so much. They taste good w/ a coconut curry, but not this one because it had tempeh in it ;-).



I'll definitely make this again. It was easy to prepare and the results were good. Some changes I'd make would be:

• double the amount of peanut sauce because it was really good.
• fry up the tempeh in a teriyaki glaze. 8 oz of tempeh was a lot of tempeh and the flavor of the curry didn't soak in enough.

Here is Faline mid-yawn. I used to think that she had hair spots stuck to her tongue, but it's just the color of her tongue.
