Quick and easy to make and tastes yummy. But now I've got the rest of the soft tofu to use. I hate when that happens. I usually end up throwing the remainder in a smoothie the next day for breakfast.
My husband likes to eat this for breakfast.

Teresa's Dressing~pg. 92
La Dolce Vegan! Challenge:
I'm glad I made only half the recipe because this is sooo good! It even tastes good spread on some bread and I would be eating way too much of this dressing.

Wolffie's Cocoa Cake~pg. 250; Chocolate Fudgey Frosting~pg. 259
La Dolce Vegan! Challenge:
Well, I've been trying to cut out some sugar in my diet but I just had to make this chocolate cake. Whoo, does it have some sugar in it. My in-laws will be visiting tomorrow so they can help us eat it!
I added 2 tsp. espresso powder and used dutch cocoa to make it extra rich and delicious.

My frosting was more like a glaze, maybe I didn't cook it long enough. But it was still rich and chocolatey.
Harvard Beets~pg. 187
La Dolce Vegan! Challenge:
Yum! These reminded of the pickled beets my grandma always made for me. She knew I loved them so whenever I stayed with her she would make sure to have them for me. I've never eaten them warm, just chilled.
Another filling, delicious vegan dinner! Faux Fish with Tartar Sauce, Harvard Beets, steamed zucchini, and Cajun Sweet Potato Fries.

La Dolce Vegan! Challenge:
I breaded these in the Shook 'n' Cook Breading-pg. 56 and followed the directions for the Fried "Chicken" on pg. 289 to cook them. Excellent! I made a tartar sauce to go along with my Faux Fish:
Tartar Sauce:
1 C Vegenaise (or other vegan mayonnaise)
2 Tbsp. sweet pickle relish
1 Tbsp. minced onion
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
salt & pepper to taste
*combine all ingredients and chill at least an hour.
This is my second attempt to make these fries. The first time they were too oily and salty. This time I only used 1 Tbsp. of oil and they turned out much better. Delicious!

Breakfast Brown Rice Pudding~pg. 52
La Dolce Vegan! Challenge:
What a wonderful, relaxing day. I enjoyed a nice, quiet day at home cooking and baking. I have this quotation from Thich Nhat Hanh's book "Savor" hanging on my kitchen wall. I like to read it before I eat:

This was a good, hearty breakfast cereal. It was a little soupy at first because I used freshly cooked brown rice. It would probably be better with cold, day old rice but it was still good. The leftovers will be better in the morning!

Eileen's Sesame Ginger Stir-Fry~pg. 148
La Dolce Vegan! Challenge:
Very good over brown rice. I made a few substitutions-no bean sprouts at my grocery store so I used snow peas (a much better sub anyway); instead of straight tahini sauce I only used 2 Tbsp tahini and subbed about a teaspoon of sriracha chili sauce and about a Tbsp of Bragg's Liquid Aminos (again, a much better addition).

Now that's a healthy looking plate of food! I steamed some fresh broccoli and made Middle Eastern Chopped Salad from Nava Atlas' cookbook, Vegan Express.
