DH burned my sausages this morning. :( But I got him back. I ruined the biscuits! :p We're going to try again tomorrow!
 
About to make another batch of cashew-cheese sauce... this time with beer! :D

The nuts I get from the place downtown are already big... then I soaked 'em for two days - (the twist-tie is for scale).... Cashuge.jpg

I have huge nuts. :p


Later on, I'll start prepping some produce for sautéed veggie sandwiches, now that I have a red bell pepper & some fresher baby spinach... really need to use up those mushrooms tonight, too.

Attempt #2 turned out much better. :p Homemade biscuits and seitan breakfast patties with a half a slice of Chao cheese.

I'm making the breakfast patties again. Made the way Julie Hasson's recipe was written, you make 13 small, oddly shaped sausage patties. So I'm trying the recipe again, but I'll be using my biscuit cutter to make round parties that are slightly bigger than the first batch. I would like them to be the size of an English Muffin when they are steamed.

How'd you like the beer cheese? I saw a recipe for a beer cashew sauce where you reduced the beer- naturally didn't save it... I can't imagine if i'd like that or not
 
On tonight's cooking plan: quinoa pizza burgers and zucchini cakes. I am making them in preparation for my vacation with my family at the beach. I already have vegan sausages on hand. :) I will get some tofu as well and plan to make a breakfast scramble.

It's great! :) Much thinner than the last batch of sauce, but that's easily remedied. I think using a stout would make it far tastier, though.... :drool:
 
Oh. Em. Gee. It was absolutely the right decision to stir some cashew-cheese & vodka into my pasta sauce. Wow, it smells/tastes amazing! :drool:

I'm gonna put some water (purified of course, with a bit of evoo & a bay leaf) on for pasta... jammin' to Howlin' Wolf, too.... :cool:

Got a Flatout wrap in my large skillet in the oven (on the lowest setting possible)... just wanna toughen it up a bit (it was just thawed this afternoon)... gonna load it up with my black bean/rice/veggie mix, plus some Go Veggie shreds & baby greens, then roll it on up & heat it in that same skillet on the stove, let the outside get a little crispy & let the "cheese" melt....

OK, I'm gonna do this right this time.... Got a wrap-enough portion of the spicy filling in my tiny skillet along a little evoo, some baby greens, & some diced tomato. That oughta do it. ;) About to cover my flatbread wrap with guac & "cheese".... :D
 
Gently simmering my already-soaked cashews in some lightly salted purified water with a bay leaf.... once cooled, more "cheese" sauce! :)

I shouldn't have used the flash... this looks much better in person, not nearly so sickly. LMAO :rolleyes:

Oooh-hoo-hoo.... boiled my macaroni, drained it, threw it in the other saucepan that had the remaining cashew cheese (after I filled two containers with it), added what was left (about a teaspoon) of the Teta vegan garlic spread, a little Earth Balance, added the bag of chopped broccoli, more cashew cheese sauce, some Go Veggie shreds, stirred it all up, topped with more shreds & nooch, popped that gorgeous sucker in the oven to bake for a bit. Yeeee!! :dance:

Makin' some no-salt/no-sugar peanut butter! :) I got to empty the remains (bits & pieces) of two jars, tossed in a couple more scoops of peanuts from my newer jar, added a few walnuts & a few spoonfuls of tahini.... it looks really dry, so I'm gonna add a little coconut oil.

I think I'll need earplugs for this next part.... :p

I just made zucchini cakes for the weekend. I will be off to the beach, either tomorrow or Sunday, and I like to bring something so that my mom doesn't have to do all the cooking (I always offer, but she rules the kitchen, lol). I also stocked her fridge with Vegenaise and sriracha sauce so that I can make my tartar sauce. :D
 
Mmmm, sammich. :dance: A "bitchin' banjo-bean" sammich with baby spinach & Roma tomato & a slice o' Go Veggie....

Also, I like saying "sammich" instead of sandwich. :D
