This is a very worthwhile effort. The characters are darling. I will definitely share and pass the word for this meaningful and fun game.

My recipe is similar to this one, but I combine baking soda, apple cider vinegar and soy milk to make the doughnut fluffy. I read somewhere that this combo gives the effect of baking powder. I have tried apple sauce as an egg replacer before, but not with the best results.

All the options I use are mentioned by you or others. I use buckwheat flour for pancakes and spelt flour for bread. Almond flour is nice for baking sweets. The Graham flour I know, is actually chickpea flour, and I use it for falafel.(Along with the chick peas)

This is great to know and matches my own experience. I make sure not to let a day go by without including some green vegetable in my diet. They have so many different nutrients in them, so I can see how they are great brain food.

Meat actually has no great taste, it is the seasonings and manner it is cooked that makes it edible. I learned the spices and cooking methods and I use them to prepare vegan foods. Textures are in veggies and mushrooms, soy and sietan, that can give you the heartiness you desire. Also, a high...

Well, for me, whenever I eat a salad, I add either an avocado or some nuts, or some tofu in it. This makes the salad so much more filling. I get so full and satisfied eating beans and cornbread. I also make burgers out of vegetables or beans and make a sandwich with tasty sauces and garnishes...
