1c wheat bran
1/2c sugar
1tsp baking soda
1/8tsp salt
1 1/4c soymilk
1/2c applesauce
2tbsp ground flax seed (optional)
1tsp vanilla extract
1/2c fruit
Preheat oven to 350F. Line muffins...
To do: bake regularly
I plan on starting to bake regularly. In the winter it’s nice because it warms up my house. Plus we should be eating breakfast on a daily basis, so having fresh muffins will be nice. I’m hoping I can coax Mr Lazy Veggie into making a loaf of bread each week, too.

Do you have a favorite easy veg*n recipe?
I’m trying to come up with some more varied recipes, considering the majority of what I post happens to be soup. Any and all ideas are welcome!

Hummus
A couple of the ingredients below you may have a hard time finding. One is tahini (sesame seed paste)- most grocery stores carry it: you can find it either by the peanut butter, or in the ethnic food aisle. If you can’t find it there, most health foods stores carry it (and may even make it fresh! This is how I prefer to buy mine). The other is sumac, a berry that is sold dried and ground....

Raw Banana Ice Cream
2 1/2 frozen bananas
2 tbsps vanilla soymilk (or 2 tbsps plain soymilk with 1tsp of vanilla)
Add ingredients to blender and blend until smooth.
Top with other fruit (I pureed a few strawberries), chocolate chips, coconut flakes, or anything you’d put on ice cream.

Look, Ma! No salad dressing!
We tend to not buy condiments in our house - we don’t use them often enough to warrant the cost and they just end up going bad.
A good way to get the sweet flavor of a lot of dressing is to throw in some sweeter veggies or fruits - my favorites are grapes and strawberries.

Hummus: yes, you can freeze it
I tend to make hummus is big batches because it’s messy to make (or to clean out my food processor, anyhow) and I don’t always have the ingredients on hand/don’t want them to spoil when I do. Depending on what we are in the mood for, the hummus either goes really quickly, or we end up tossing some of it.
I just found out that you can freeze it - without a penalty to...

Have you tried Quorn?
Disclaimer: Quorn contains eggs, so it isn’t vegan and (to some people) not vegetarian either.
We went grocery shopping yesterday at a store we don’t go to frequently and noticed that they stocked some of Quorn’s products. The boyfriend had eaten it before liked it; I’d only ever heard about it from a coworker. We decided to pick up the Turk’y Roast and the...
