Best Use For Pumkin

October 27, 2011 in Vegan Simple Eating Recipes

The air is turning colder.  I hate cold… and I live in Nebraska :)   The one redeeming quality of the cold (besides Christmas and Thanksgiving) is the excuse for more fancy coffee drinks.

A friend sent me this link a few weeks ago… and I have fully tested it :)   Here is the original link. (lots more fancy pictures with her post)

Here’s what you need:

  • 1 cup milk (soy, almond, rice, .. I tried coconut because it was all we had once and it wasn’t good)
  • 1/4 cup or more canned pumpkin*
  • 2 tsp pumpkin spice or to taste
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • sweetener – sugar etc.  I used honey.  At least 2 tbsp :)
  • optional gara masala or ginger (super good, I would recommend)

*get the real thing, cut it in half, clean out the seeds and bake cut side down in a casserole dish with some water on the bottom.  After baking it is much easier to peel and work with.  I didn’t do it this year, but have in the past.  Freeze the extra… for more coffee drinks next month.

This batch turned out a bit spicy, so if yours doesn’t look this spiced it is probably fine too.

Ok, blend all these up in the blender.  Pour half of it into a cup (the cup should be about half full).  Warm the mixture for about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes in the microwave.  Pour coffee over the mixture until cup is full.  You can sprinkle cinnamon or add a cinnamon stick to really make it feel fancy :)

The recipe serves 2 people (or you twice)

 Here is Brenda trying it out.  It is good to have brave friends :)

Amazingly Awesome (vegan, healthy) Yellow Cake

October 20, 2011 in Vegan Simple Eating Recipes

I wanted to share a recipe for cake.  I know this is under ‘Simple Eating’, but trust me… this sure isn’t hard.   Really I think it is a great shame that we have box cakes.  I think they taste yucky and, because of them, most people have never tried to make a cake from scratch or are afraid to try.

Trust me, it isn’t hard and it is sooo worth it.  Not only does it taste better it is healthier and there is no goofy, fake ingredients in it.  I will walk you through it, we will do it together :)

This recipe started from Better Homes and Gardens New Baking book… and I have adapted to make it vegan and healthier.

First assemble the ingredients and set oven to 375 degrees.

  • 1 cup unbleached white flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp flax seeds ground
  • 1/4 cup oil (I use canola)
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar (you can use brown or other natural sugars or use less than this if you want)
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 3/4 cups milk (soy, almond, rice, whatever your prefer)

Next put some oil on the pan and then dust flour over the oil (I used some butter… sorry to the die hard vegans, it works fine without it, it was just what I grabbed).  Put about 1 tbsp of white flour in the pan and then shake it around till it covers bottom and sides and then dump out the extra.

Not a very exciting picture… but you get the idea.

Next mix the dry ingredients.  This is the flours, baking powder, salt and ground flax seed (not the sugar…even though it is dry).

Next, in another bowl mix the sugar, oil and vanilla.

Measure out the milk and add about 1/2 cup to mixture to make it runny (as shown above).

Alternate adding about about 1/2 to 1 cup of dry ingredients and mixing and then adding some milk to thin it back out until all the dry and milk are mixed in.  Milk, mix, dry, mix, repeat.

Then divide into the two cake pans.  Let mixture sit for 15 minutes.  This lets the whole wheat flour soak up some moisture.

Bake at 375 degrees for about 30 minutes or until the toothpick inserted comes out clean or you tap it on the top and it is firm.

 

Let cool for 10 minutes and then pull out of pans.

There you have it.  Isn’t it beautiful!  And the house now smells awesome.  You have now done what an embarrassingly small percent of women ever try, you have successfully baked a cake from scratch.

Let it cool for an hour or more and then you are ready to frost.  This recipe can also be made into cupcakes, it only takes about 20 minutes (or less so watch them close) to bake them.

Ok, so I cheated here too.  I frosted it with whipped cream.  I really dislike the super sweet gritty frosting and really like the whipped cream taste with the yellow cake.  Maybe sometime I will make up my chocolate version, I have a good vegan chocolate frosting that is super good.  This cake was for Grandma’s birthday.  Happy Birthday Grandma!

Amazing Cinnimon Buns

June 21, 2011 in Vegan Simple Eating Recipes

So today was a sad day. We packed and said good-by to my sister-in-law and family who are moving to the east coast. Great opportunity for them, but sad to loose family/friends nearby. I made these up last night so we could have something yummy to eat as the truck was packed.

These aren’t exactly vitamin pills but they are still much healthier than other store-bought options. They have several things going for them:

1. They take time to make so I only make them once in a while.
2. All fresh ingredients and no added preservatives
3. Vegan
4. Usually trans fat-free (I used margarine sticks in these because I had some I needed to use up. I usually substitute canola oil and water)
5. The house smells good :)

I loosely follow the ‘Better Homes and Gardens. New Baking Book” page 378
Mix well 1 cup of soy milk with 1/4 cup water and 1/4 cup oil, 1/4 sugar, and 1/2 tsp salt
In another bowl mix 2-3 cups flour with 1 tbsp yeast. Add wet to dry and mix. Mix and add flour until dough is nice and soft and not sticky. Let rise for 1 hour. Roll out to about 1/3 inch thick. Spread on brown sugar and cinnamon (as much as you want). Roll up. Slice. Put in greased dish. Let rise for another 30-45 min (or put in the fridge covered with plastic wrap overnight). Bake at 375 for 20 min covered with foil, then take the foil off for 5-10 min (depending on your oven). Enjoy!
