Cookbook Countdown: 16 Days to Go: Biscuits & Gravy

Posted by:Lindsay S. Nixon Category:

Today's teaser post has three recipes from the cookbook (you lucky ducks!). Together, they make the ultimate breakfast trio so I decided to blog about them as a group rather than individually (and save you from yet another post where I profess my undying love for tofu scramble...I need and intervention, or something).

Now, I know I have a recipe for low fat biscuits and gravy already on this website...but I updated the recipe for the cookbook. The …

Cookbook Countdown: 17 Days to Go: Perfect Pancakes

Posted by:Lindsay S. Nixon Category:

I consider myself a master of many culinary things.... but pancakes are not one of them. Even before I was vegan, or cared about eating only whole grains, I struggled to make decent pancakes. 

The three men in my life (my father, my husband and my best friend) were all awesome at it -- total naturals. They could make you the best pancakes -- perfectly shaped, fluffy and delicious, with their eyes closed. For a while I thought it must …

Cookbook Countdown: 18 Days to Go: Quick Queso

Posted by:Lindsay S. Nixon Category:

I have no less than six recipes for "cheese" in my cookbook. 

Drum roll please: nacho cheese, cheddar cheese, quick queso, mexican queso, tofu basil ricotta and melty pizza cheese.

All of them are completely fat-free (well, except the ricotta which has a smidgen of fat naturally from the tofu) and they're instant to make! 

And although I could eat any of these "cheeses" with a spoon (and I may have done that a time or two) the quick queso

Cookbook Countdown: 19 Days to Go: Baked Onion Rings

Posted by:Lindsay S. Nixon Category:

I had a thing for Burger King's onion rings---and by "thing" I mean I enjoyed a small order almost every day for a year. (Oh, College!)

Needless to say, I felt a little deflated when I found out BK's onion rings (and pretty much all onion rings everywhere) are not vegan. I took this as a "good thing" though because onion rings are not exactly healthy and the less temptation the better... still, I found myself missing onion …

Cookbook Countdown: 20 Days to Go: Mushroom Burgers

Posted by:Lindsay S. Nixon Category:

If a picture is worth 1,000 words, than I don't think I need a blog post about this recipe! ;-)

Thick, meaty and juicy, these burgers will kick the pants off any old frozen veggie burger! And although they're made fresh, they come together really easy--mix a few ingredients together, shape into patties and cook! (They can be baked, pan fried in a non-stick or grilled). It's so easy!

They also store well in the fridge and heat to perfection …
