Just a little porn I forgot about.

Most of this is stuff I’ve been to lazy to post. I didn’t make any of these recipes up.

Did I tell you my biggest vegan chef crush, Lolo, is coming out with a cookbook? It’s going to be published the guys over at Herbivore. She has a slew of kids from the ppk forum testing for her. I’ve done a few recipes, but I’ve been lazy for the most part. This is her Crispy Sweet N Sour Tofu. I’ll let you know when the book comes out. It’s going to be killer.

So for my friend’s birthday/last day in town, I felt inspired to stay up all night so she could have the one thing she missed since becoming vegan — a good, homemade cinnamon roll. And thanks to rachaelrayforever’s cinnamon roll recipe, Brit got her cinnamon rolls. Warning: the dough for these rises twice, so you definitely have to have time to dedicate to these guys. But man oh man — they’re totally worth it. There was also a cream cheese icing involved, but they didn’t last long enough to get photos.

More porn after the jump.

Apple Cinnamon Pancakes

I’ve been caught up in exams, but I have a whole bunch of buckwheat waffle & pancake mix, so I’ve been experimenting. This one, by far, has been my favorite.

I figured if I whipped up a batch of pancake batter (I always add a splash of maple syrup and a couple shakes of cinnamon to it), mixed about a tablespoon or so of it with some applesauce & cinnamon, and drizzled it on the pancake while it was cooking, it would turn out. I was right. It was so good with a little Earth Balance.

Here it is cooking…

Busboys & Poets and Breakfast

First of all, I went to Busboys and Poets last night and had the Vegan pizza, which I can’t say was more than just good. It wasn’t phenomenal, but they do use vegan cheese & it does taste like pizza. It comes with typical pizza-esque veggies (peppers, onions, mushrooms, spinach) and is like $10. I wouldn’t recommend making a trip to Busboys just to eat it, but if you ever find yourself there (and very hungry — it was huge) it’s not a bad option. But in all honesty, I wish I had gotten a salad or something.

(I also saw two shows at the 930 club last night: the Books with Todd Reynolds & Ratatat along with Hexa and Despot. The Books were absolutely incredible, as was Todd Reynolds. Hexa was just okay. Despot was pretty cool. Ratatat would have been a lot better had dumb drunk people not gotten on stage and proceeded to make fools out of themselves. In fact, Ratatat actually stopped a song to tell people to get off the stage. The crowd was so obnoxious that I actually left early.)

Today I made cranberry pumpkin pancakes for breakfast. They were delicious! (Sorry the picture isn’t that great. Not much natural light.)

Breakfast for Dinner

Sometimes you need scrambled tofu and cranberry toast. I did tonight.

PS. I’m in love with Isa Chandra Moskovitz. (Shh. Don’t tell her!)

Graham Cracker Muffins

I’ve been craving Graham Crackers lately, so when I woke up this morning and saw Zelineuh’s pictures of her version of these on her blog, I decided I had to make these.

I halved the white sugar, used EnerG egg replacer and added blueberries to half the batch.

Such a good idea!

PS: I will probably be posting a lot of other things that I’ve made in the past few months. I have a whole bunch of pictures from previous recipes, so I’ll share those on lazy days.
