“chicken” n waffles

what’s better than “chicken” fried tofu? “chicken” fried tofu over waffles…that’s what! add a side of oven roasted peewee potatoes and streamed broccoli and you got yourself a dinner!!!!

spicy buffalo cauliflower “wings”

1 cup water or soy milk
1 cup flour (any kind will work—even gluten-free!)
2 tsp. garlic powder
1 head of cauliflower, chopped into pieces
1 cup buffalo or hot sauce(not the biggest fan of buffalo so i used mixture of bbq sauce and hot sauce…still good either way)
1 tbsp. olive oil or melted vegan margarine

• preheat the oven to 450°F.
• combine the water or soy milk, flour, and garlic powder in a bowl and stir until well combined.
• coat the cauliflower pieces with the flour mixture and place in a shallow baking dish. Bake for 18 minutes.
• while the cauliflower is baking, combine your buffalo sauce and olive oil or margarine in a small bowl.
• pour the hot sauce mixture over the baked cauliflower and continue baking for an additional 5 to 8 minutes.

1 cup vegan mayonnaise

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

pb&j cake

a simple and fun cake i made.  pick your favorite basic yellow or vanilla cake recipe. bake in two 8″ round cake pans. pick your favorite jelly…i went with a strawberry preserve. for the peanut butter frosting, mix 1 package of extra firm silken tofu, 1 cup of peanut butter, 1 cup of powdered sugar in a food processor. after mixed together and creamy add 1/4 cup of flour to thicken. set frosting set in refrigerator over night or for at least a couple hours. once cake is cool, spread jelly over the bottom cake layer then stack other cake layer on it, then spread frosting over the entire thing.  one thing left….enjoy!
