LOTS of Goodies.

Ice Cream!


Vegan vanilla ice cream with a cinnamon drizzle and banana chips in a home made cone.


Ice Cream
3/4 Cup Vanilla soy milk
1/4 light vegetable oil (Blend thoroughly)
3 Tablespoons sugar (Blend once again)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Freeze overnight

Cinnamon Glaze
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
2 1/2 Tablespoons confectioners sugar (vary amount for desired quantity)
1 Tablespoon Soy Milk (vary for quantity and thickness)

"Cone" Bowl
The bowl is just a mini pie crust pressed into a jumbo muffin pan.

Pancakes


A regular pancake recipe. I substituted apple sauce for an egg and vanilla soy milk for cows milk.


More Biscotti!


This is my third attempt. The first was a lemon almond which I made at The Grind later (it sold out in a day), after that I made pumpkin with a chocolate glaze. This is plain recipe with a powdered sugar glaze and orange zest.


Orange Biscotti
Fluff 1/2 a cup of vegan butter
Mix in 1/2 a heaping cup of sugar
Add in a replacer for two eggs (Ener-G works best here)
Add 1 teaspoon of orange extract

Seperately,
Mix 2 cups of white flour
1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder
1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
1/2 salt

Mix dry into wet in stages. If too dry at a tablespoon or two of Soy milk.

Bake on the top rack at 350F until the top is hard-ish and slightly brown (25 min+)
Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes.
Cut into slices and cook each side 10 min.
Cool, then add drizzle and zest.

I want Fall weather for Fall break, meow!

Ice Cream minus the Cow.

Who says you need a cow to make a great *traditionally* dairy based desert?

Vegan: Vanilla ice cream, snickerdoodle biscotti, and caramel sauce with crushed walnuts.

I love coffee, like most people. I have a silly opinion, which may quite possibly be erroneous, that coffee, much like smiling, is a human universal. If all other language failed us--drifting into the void of forgotten nothingness, the statistical norm for much of the existence in this indifferent universe--mankind, womankind, and any other human "kind" could survive as social creatures with only coffee and smiles.

Now, with all of the words out of the way, here's a couple sentences much more delicious than any college essay or graduate thesis can provide: a coffee muffin. Please respond promptly with a smile.


Sincerely,
simply, only, Me.
