Seitan Riblets

I'm not a fan of the whole low-fat vegan thing, but this is an excellent recipe from Fat Free Vegan. I left out the liquid smoke because I don't have any, and it sounds kinda dangerous anyway. I don't have a grill so I used the baking method that she links to at the end of the recipe. The first time I made this I tried to make my own barbecue sauce but it tasted more like cocktail sauce without the liquid smoke, so this time I was lazy and just used some Trader Joe's barbecue sauce. The green beans were boiled and then stir-fried in olive oil and seasoned with salt and pepper, and if you can't tell, that yellowish lump is mashed potatoes. It's an All-American meal in honor of our amazing new options for VP.

Blueberry Muffins



The muffins looked better 3 days ago when I made them. They're not as sweet as cupcakes but they're definitely not bland and they contain no prostate medication. I used this Vegetarian Times recipe plus a dash of cinnamon, half the amount of berries, and a combination of honey and sugar.

Rosemary Bread



I've made this bread about 5 times since I found the recipe a few weeks ago, and last night I finally made it when I wasn't hungry enough to eat the whole thing before getting a chance to take a picture. It's good dipped in balsamic vinegar and olive oil just like that fake ass Italian restaurant does it.

Raspberry Breakfast Parfait



For the berry sauce, combine thawed frozen berries with lemon juice, sugar, and cornstarch in a saucepan and stir until thickened. After it cools, mix it with plain yogurt, berry granola, and fresh raspberries.

Pretzel Dogs



1 recipe Pretzels
8 veggie dogs

Before cooking the pretzels, wrap the 8 dough ropes around the dogs and cook them for 8 or 9 minutes. The dogs might turn out better if they're cooked beforehand.

Cucumber and Radish Soup


1 cup soymilk
2 lemons, juiced
2 medium cucumbers
6 small radishes
1/4 cup parsley
1/4 cup dill

Squeeze one of the lemons into the soymilk and let it sit while you prepare the rest of the soup. Peel and chop the cucumbers, mince the radishes and chop the herbs. Combine everything and blend it until smooth. Pour it through a strainer to get rid of extra chunks.
