Magic!

Jesus may have turned water into wine, but I made this in a dirty college dorm kitchen:

Vegan Peach Crepes

Topped with Cashew Cream and a cinnamon drizzle

Crepes

1/2 cup flower

1 tblsp of fine cane sugar

1/4 tsp salt or a few drops of vanilla depending on what dinner these are made for.

Replacement for one egg (the type of egg replacer used will change the consistency of the batter)

1 tblsp of vegetable oil

1 cup of non dairy milk

The heat of the pan you're using along with the thickness (in our case the thinness) of the batter is crucial. If the pan is not hot enough, the batter can stick even with some sort of "sticking" prevention (oil, butter, spray). The batter must also be very thin in order to quickly spread across the pan.

The cashew cream is the same recipe from my post on English scones.

Diaya Cheese Creations.

So, I got a hold of some Daiya Cheese thanks to friends and family. You can definitely eat it, but it's not the best cold. When you melt it though, it tastes amazing. Which means it's perfect for

Pizza

and quesadillas

The product is great. It gives you a lot of meal options that were previously unaccessible to vegans, many of which are traditional staples to Americans.

Now, who's ready for Thanksgiving?!

The Full Package.

Who needs a holiday in England when you have Top Gear, breakfast tea, and this...
