Vegan Recipe of the Week

Cody’s Bestest Cookies

Ingredients:

  • 2/3 cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup vegan butter (my favorite is earth balance)
  • 1 egg equivalent (powdered egg replacer or other substitute)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp vegan milk (soy, rice, etc.)
  • 1 1/3 cup flour
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • 1/8 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/8 cup coconut flakes
  • 1/8 cup crusher walnuts
  • 1/8 cup raisins

Preparation:

First preheat oven to 350. Then mix together all of the wet ingredients followed by the dry ones. Then add your “chunky” ingredients. If you do not like or have chocolate chips, coconut, walnuts, or raisins, you can alter to your liking. Place small balls of dough on an oiled cookie sheet and bake until done. If you can handle it, allow them to cool before eating so then don’t fall apart.

Vegan Recipe of the Week

Completely-Not-Authentic-in-Any-Way-Curry

I don’t use any exact measurements but I’ll give you an estimate.

Ingredients:
*1 package of Firm Tofu
*1/2 cup cashews
*1Tsp Cooking Oil
*1 Tsp Cumin and/or Mustard Seed
*3 cloves of Garlic (minced)
*1 large Onion
*1 medium Carrot
*1 large Sweet Potato (cut into small cubes for quick cooking)
*1 Red Pepper
*1 cup Snow Peas
*1/2 can Coconut Milk
*1-2 Tsp Curry Powder
*1/2 Tsp Chili Powder
*2 Tbsp Peanut Butter
*Salt
*Pepper

Preparation:

To make the tofu denser, put it in the freezer the night before you cook. Take it out and let it thaw to the point were you can cut it into slices. Place cashews in a frying or cast iron skillet with no oil on medium heat allowing them to roast. In a wok or large frying pan on medium low heat add oil and seeds. Turn heat down slightly when seeds pop. Add the garlic and onion, cook until translucent. Add the carrot and sweet potato (add more oil if necessary).  Allow the harder veggies to soften a little and then add tofu, snow peas, and any other veggies you have around. Now its time for the coconut milk, peanut butter, and seasonings! My brother likes to add butter and sugar to the mix, but I like to pretend that I cook healthy.  Let it all simmer while you keep tasting and adding. Serve over rice.
