Re: Carrot Cookies

Sunflowerhorn — Sat, 04 Jul 2009 03:50:14 GMT

I made these a couple of weeks ago to satisfy a carrot cake craving, and they're really wicked good. My fiance's been asking for them since, so we just made them again tonight. They'll definitely become a standard at our house.

The first time I used oil instead of margarine and maple syrup in place of the sugar. That provided enough moisture for the dough to stick together perfectly. The second time we used brown sugar, and then had to add some water to get it all to stick right. They still came out well. Oh, and no need to sprinkle sugar on top. I haven't remembered yet, and haven't missed it. We bake them at 350 for about 20 minutes.

Thanks for a great recipe!

Re: Really Good Vegan Raisin Scones

isaytomatoes — Sat, 04 Jul 2009 00:32:49 GMT

I've made this recipe several ways now, and I love it. I like to use whole wheat pastry flour, which works great and gives it an especially crusty quality. Instead of raisins, I sometimes use dates and walnuts, broken up small. I sprinkle cinnamon and sugar on the top, just a little, before baking. I've got to be careful with these, because I can eat an entire batch myself in one day...

Re: Healthy Cornbread

Intriguing twist on a suothern classic. Having grown up in central Texas and having made many batches of cornbread...I kinda like it. I did an iron skillet cornbread version, sauted peppers, corn, onions, and tomatoes, Left the skillet dirty to give flavor and popped it in the oven. It was more crumbly than usual but that's because the gluten in whole wheat flour is still caught in the shell (ground or not it is harder to extract). Maybe next time I'll try it with just a tad of white flour.

Re: Banana Cream Pie (Diner Style)

I used a vanilla pudding mix for this, but I think the most important part of this recipe is using COCONUT CREAM! there was hardly any coconut taste at all, but this thing was so creamy (but it held in pieces perfectly) that I swear I ate half the thing myself over two days. in a chocolate based crust it is even better!

Re: Blueberry Muffins with Crumb Topping

skits — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 18:09:31 GMT

I've been on a bit of a muffin binge the last few weeks (I've made five batches, three of which were blueberry), and these were BY FAR the best. they really have that bakery-good taste. I recommend adding a teapoon of vanilla, though. I used half applesauce and half oil, just to feel better about myself after eating THREE.

Re: Bad Girl Being Good, Banana Bread

9limes — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 18:06:01 GMT

Unfortunately this did not work out well for me. It did not cook in the middle, even after leaving it in the oven for a really long time and raising the oven temperature. I did use spelt flour, and baked it in a loaf pan. Maybe those variations led to the banana bread bummer....... But thanks for posting the recipe. When I slice it thin and throw it in the toaster, it's quite tasty!

Re: Stuffed Pepper Soup

skits — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 18:05:16 GMT

I made this yesterday since both my boyfriend and I were coming down with something -- WOW. it was so good thay my non-veg mother said it was one of the best soups she has ever had, called it "beautiful", and after I left, sent me a text message saying "Awesome soup!!". I did throw in some herbs de provence and quite a bit of nutritional yeast half for flavour, half for the vitamins. SUCH A KEEPER.

Yummy!
I think next time I'll add 1/2 the soy milk and 1/2 the salt. Probably put smaller spoonfuls on the tray too! They did spread out and crumble a bit, but this ended up being a fantastic excuse for eating the mess-ups! Thanks for the good recipe!

Re: Chickpea Salad Sandwich

I just tried this... amazing! I even added some minced onion to it.
This sandwich is one of the reasons that I need to buy chickpeas in bulk

Re: Dr. Pepper BBQ Seitan

If the intense aroma drops aren't for food, I wouldn't use them. My boyfriend's mom makes Coke ham, and he says it's really good, so if you can't find root beer (or sasparilla is also like root beer I think) or cherry Coke or Dr. Pepper, I'd just use regular Coke. OR you could experiment and use the Malzbier, which sounds really interesting.

Re: Insanely Good Spinach-Artichoke Dip

DalVeg — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 14:33:35 GMT

This was insanely good... until I ruined it by placing my spinach (which I doubled) in a blender instead of my food processor! Bahh! I don't know what I was thinking. I ended up with spinach soup...

...BUT I was determined that I could save this dish! I added a package of instant potatoes to the "soup", and voila! It thickened up in no time

The caramel recipe made something more closely resembling pudding (and not at all resembling caramel, unfortunately).

I used whole wheat flour, Stevia for my sweetener, and replaced half of the rhubarb with cubed apples.

This sounds great, and I would love to share it with a friend of mine who has diabetes. DalVeg...How much stevia did you use to replace the 2 cups of sugar?

I used about 2 tablespoons sprinkled on top of the fruit, and then another 2 tablespoons in the "crisp".

I am not a huge "sweet" fan, so you might want to increase the amount to your liking. Good luck!

whoa, prune juice *shudders*

okay, I will try to find the original, - maybe I could order some... root beer, huh,- no idea what that is, sorry lol we do have sth that is called MAlzbier (maltbeer), which is a sweeter, dark, non-alcoholic type of beer, but I guess it's just not the same ...hmmm

almond extract is also not a regular over here, but we do have these intense aroma drops,... maybe I#ll try this ?

Re: French Chocolate Cake

shelloid — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 11:24:51 GMT

hands down, without a doubt the BEST chocolate cake I have ever made, vegan or otherwise. I will not use another recipe again!

I followed the recipe exactly, using the vanilla flavouring and found it really easy to make. I baked the cake for 55 mins and then I let it sit for about 30 mins before inverting and getting it out of the pan. The cake had risen wonderfully and it was very easy to get out of the pan.

I did make a chocolate frosting for the cake and that made it super rich - yum! With out the frosting it would have been really really good too.
It was very rich and chocolatey and I couldn't taste the orange juice. The texture was amazing - really fluffy and moist, and it slice up really well.

I took the cake to work the day after I made it and had so so many compliments on it. Someone even asked if I had bought the cake because they didn't believe a homemade cake could be so good - yay! Then they were even more shocked when I said that it was vegan - to me that's always a good sign.

Thank you so so much for the recipe. 5 stars!

Re: Chana Masala

Sea_of_Green — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 07:52:50 GMT

yummy! I doubled the paste, added coriander, turmeric,and ginger, a little hungarian paprika, coconut milk, lots of spinach, and had it with some red bell peppers and broccoli. mmz.

Re: Cauliflower Bhaaji

amymylove — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 05:55:28 GMT

Pretty good... I had to replace mustard seeds with yellow mustard, canned tomatoes instead of fresh tomatoes, and ground red pepper instead of a chopped red pepper... I probably should have followed the directions exactly but i'm not the greatest with that... but anyways it turned out pretty good... 4 stars

i made this exactly the way the recipe said to and didn't like it i've never had Chana Masala before so I wasn't even sure what to expect... maybe it would have been better if I had tried some of the other user's suggestions. Oh well.

Ok so I changed my mind after trying some of the suggestions... I added maybe 1/4 cup coconut milk, extra tomato paste, some chopped carrots, green onions, lots of red pepper, soy sauce... it turned out awesome and was super easy... thank u fellow vegweber's
