Sinfully Deli-icious
Did you get that book that I told you about yet,  ”Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar?”  This book seriously has the best vegan cookies in the world.  I usually half the sugar and use gluten free flour, but other than that they are cookie perfection. Here is one of their recipes that I reduced the sugar and adjusted the flour type on! New York Style Black and White Cookies gone...

Eggplant Un-Parmesan
Do you LOVE eggplant parmesan, that red-sauce Italian restaurant standby that is sooooo fattening?  Not only is it fried (and we know that eggplant absorbs an amazing amount of oil) but it’s breaded and drowning in cheese. Well, I have a solution for your craving.  This dish has the flavors of “parmigiana” but is baked, not breaded, and lightly topped with cheese.  And it’s...

Get your bagels!
Every time I buy a pre-packaged spelt bagel I get something that is bagel-like enough to satisfy my urge for something to schmear tofu cream cheese on, but they are always a bit dense, or bitter.  Because of this dense dilemma that I have faced over and over again I assumed that spelt bagel making is a terribly difficult business to be in.  The truth is that spelt bagel makers were just thinking...
