I am going to a friend's 50th birthday party, which is being held at a diner. I may have to eat ahead of time, lol. If I do, it likely will be a protein bar and some fruit.

Gonna try to make vegan ice cream, anybody ever tried this? Success? I'm using a recipe I found on popsugar, I copy/pasted it here:

Ingredients:

1. 2 frozen bananas
2. 1/2 cup frozen strawberries
3. 2 tablespoons unsweetened soy milk
4. 1 scoop vanilla plant-based protein powder (We recommend Pure Therapeutics Pea Protein)
5. 1 tablespoon raw almonds, chopped

Instructions:

1. Add the frozen bananas, strawberries, and soy milk to a blender, and puree until completely smooth. (This may take a few minutes to allow the frozen fruit to soften.)
2. Add the protein powder, and puree another minute or so.
3. Scoop out half the ice cream, top with half the chopped almonds, and enjoy!

Does this look like it'll work? I'll report back with the results!

Not exactly, but I do blend frozen bananas and freeze & it tastes like super nice sweet ice-cream. Mixed with cocoa... Heavenly!

I had courgetti with a garlic, chilli, fresh cherry tomato & mushroom sauce mixed with aubergine pesto. It was amazing.

I love frozen berries blended with sweetened, vanilla soy milk. I'm not so fond of the frozen banana thing, but it is really creamy. Not sure how the almonds would blend- I would guess gritty? Let us know!
Oh yeah-I've blended frozen fresh pineapple and banana chunks, and some canned coconut milk! That was very good! I've wondered about adding some rum, but I don't care too much for rum

Tofurky sausage and baked beans.

The chickpea cutlets from Veganomicon--but I flour them, and simmer in broth rather than just frying. I tried that the first time and can't understand how that works for anyone. With the broth just to the top, and added till done on both sides, they come out so plump and moist, and the broth thickens to a gravy. With asparagus

I still haven't tried your method, as I love how they come out with just frying. I like them crisp on the outside and kind of chewy, so the texture works. But I still want to try your method with the flour. It would be a nice change. I have two frozen uncooked ones that I might try this with. Thanks for the reminder.

Tonight I will be having zucchini cakes with vegan tartar sauce, steamed green beans and Earth Balance mac 'n' cheez.

zucchini cakes sound good!
If you don't use too much broth-like halfway up the sides-and wait till after it gets absorbed and they start to brown, then add more broth before you flip so they deglaze and don't stick to the pan. Use a little less broth for the other side and again let brown and deglaze.

I am going to make the Pesto-Roasted Broccoli from Aine Carlin's Keep It Vegan with tomatoes on the side, glass of red and baked apples for pudding.

 

[Moll Flanders]

I'm making linguine with broccoli, garlic and Violife cheese tonight. Salad and garlic bread too.

 

[PTree15]

I am going to try yet again to make another pizza. I'm horrible at pizza dough, so I am going to buy dough from my grocery store (there is a vegan version, yahoo!). I want to make it with peppers and onions, but I also want to try to use my seitan sausage to see how that cooks up. I will use Daiya cheddar shreds for the cheese and lots of garlic, of course. Fingers crossed!

Butternut Squash and Black Bean Chili with Bulgar on yummly, cant post the link right.
I had to use a butternut squash, but was sick of the great curry I make. I wanted something different. Pretty good, I had to sub some spices and forgot I had barley and not bulgar. Yum.

 

[Moll Flanders]

I had cheeze with crackers, sweet pickle, cherry tomatoes, olives and a few beers for dinner last night.

 

[teacup]

We just finished supper ... we had black bean chili, undressed salad of bitter greens, glass of red each & a split the wedge / slice of choc cake he brought back from work (a birthday there) ...

 

[hungryraccoon]

All the tofu, all the veg.

Tried a marinated tofu by dragonfly for the first time & it was pretty delicous - even eaten straught out if the packet.

 

[SuicideBlonde]

Giant eggplant sandwich and grape leaves.
