You cube/press tofu, and then 'fry' it in a pan - no oil, no water, no nothing. Just press on the tofu to get out the moisture over medium heat, and the tofu should develop a nice crust, like it's fried but not really. GREAT STUFF!<br />
Veggies were broccoli, carrot, mushrooms, garlic, and onion.<br />
Sauce was soy sauce, corn starch, sugar free strawberry jelly, dried ginger, stevia, a wee bit of molasses, rice vinegar.<br />
Served over brown rice, topped with cashews<br />

Quel horreur, mes amis! So, I think until I have the time+energy to mess around with that stuff, I'll be linking you to my Tumblr (which you should visit anyway ;) ) for my pictures, and posting the recipes here.<br />
Oh, gosh, I'm writing this at 4:41 in the morning. I will be leaving at 7 for my traditional Thanksgiving Day race (I'm so excited), and I guess I was just too anxious to sleep... (?) So, thus, I am typing this, in order to stall on doing my french homework... <br />
<br />
I give you desserts!<br />
<br />
Up first is <a href="http://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2012/11/08/crustless-pumpkin-pie/">CCK's crustless pumpkin pie</a>, which I gave a crust, and topped with some raw <a href="http://vegetarianhealthfreak.blogspot.com/2012/10/dessert-plate.html">whipped cream</a>. I made two servings, and divided that recipe into two ramkins. For the crust I mixed together 3 tbsp oatmeal, 1 tbsp whole wheat flour, and 1 tbsp applesauce, and baked it for about 12 minutes at 350, until firm. Then I added the pie (doubling pretty much all of the seasonings), and using baking blend stevia. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://rawfoodlove.blogspot.com/2012/07/chocolate-peanut-butter-magic.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+ThisRawsomeVeganLife+%28This+Rawsome+Vegan+Life%29">These babies</a> were a chocolateglobofgoodness :D I used PB2, and sugar free maple syrup for the agave, but no changes other than that. Woooowww...<br />
<br />
I wasn't too big on the texture of <a href="http://chockohlawtay.blogspot.com/2012/07/lemony-peach-blondies-with-peach.html">these blondies</a>, but it may have just been my flour. However, the flavour was excellent. I used applesauce for the oil, and skipped the frosting since it doesn't freeze too well.<br />
<br />
WHOLLYFREAKINGBANANAS <a href="http://sundaymorningbananapancakes.blogspot.com/2012/07/chocolate-decadence.html">This cake</a> was excellent. Seriously. Good. Gooooood. I essentially fifthed the recipe, so I used 2 dates, 1/5 banana, and 3 tbsp of pretty much everything else. The only actual changed were to use applesauce for the oil, and instant coffee powder + water for the coffee. Topped with more of the raw whipped cream from above.Basilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07172370306921437140noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776480513264567555.post-79741220077802327052012-11-21T11:29:00.000-06:002012-11-21T11:33:46.260-06:00Meatball SubAlright... So. For the sandwich, toast a hotdog bun. Heat up some tomato sauce (I blended sauteed onion, garlic, canned tomatoes, Italian seasonings, and sugar free maple syrup) with a few <a href="http://vegetarianhealthfreak.blogspot.com/2012/11/neatballs-in-sweet-sauce.html">lentil balls</a>.

So, here's what I did... made a quadruple batch of <a href="http://www.foodiefiasco.com/2011/12/25/bottomless-oats-perfected/">Bottomless Oatmeal</a>, and just reheated the stuff every day, with a different flavour each day! It worked out great, and oatmeal tasted normal. Saved sooo much time too! I also added a splash of almond milk when reheating, to loosen it up a bit.</div>

Ok, really, I'm not in that bad of a mood... life is good. (Aside from physics, but that is a whole different topic that I don't care to breach at the moment). Can you believe it's almost Thanksgiving? Wow! Time flies!<br />

Hey. I got up at 4am this morning, and couldn't go back to sleep. Bleck. The worst part of it is I didn't get to sleep until 10 or so last night, since I was working on an English project, then had to come home and make soup, salad dressing, pizza, and salads (the pizza was AMAZING, by the way. but more on that later).</div>

Anyhoo, here's a lovely little dish that makes 2 servings... in an effort to get though all of my saved recipes I am cutting most things down to 2 servings... </div>

I added a gravy sort of thing, and I think that made this dish taste SOO much better than the original recipe. But to each his own, I suppose.</div>

Seasonings: home made <a href="http://vegetarianhealthfreak.blogspot.com/2012/10/welcome-fall-split-pea-soup.html">veggie broth powder</a>, liquid smoke, paprika, nooch<br />

Anyway, I'm NO good at sports, I just like to work out. Sheesh! We started tennis yesterday, I have no clue how to play tennis (!)... so my wrists hurt like crap... my left hand is really having a hard time typing right now. Argh. Seriously. Why do I have to take the stupid subject?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Although, it does allow me to eat just a wee bit more in the evenings, which is pretty much the only good thing... more yummies for me!</div>

Saute chopped onion, garlic, and mushrooms until tender. Toss in some spinach (washed, destemmed, and torn), fresh chopped rosemary, nooch, soy sauce, corn starch + water, and <a href="http://vegetarianhealthfreak.blogspot.com/2012/10/welcome-fall-split-pea-soup.html">home made veggie broth powder</a>. Add enough water to make it a gravy-type thing, simmer for a few minutes until thick, and serve over rice.
