When my parents visited us last March (when we still lived in LA) I whipped up a quick blueberry breakfast cake one morning. It ended up being a huge hit with my parents. In fact, they liked it so much that they're still talking about it. Hey, what can I say? I love it when I get it right the first time. Anyway, since apples have been in abundance lately here in New York, I decided to remake the breakfast cake using apples and my two favorite spices: cinnamon and ginger.
I remember loving eggnog as a kid until I learned it did in fact include eggs and it wasn't just called eggnog because it was yellow. I was so grossed out (I was drinking eggs?!) that I vowed to never touch the stuff again. and I didn't... until I went vegan and found soy nog at the store. I've tried all the vegan nogs around - Silk's Soy Nog, Rice Dream's Rice Nog and a few other brand in between. They're all pretty good and get the job done, but what I don't like is how much fat and sugar is in them.
Or more accurately, The-She-Crab-Lives Soup because no crustaceans were harmed in the making of this soup! As you may know, I went to college in Charleston, South Carolina and my favorite Charleston dish was She Crab Soup. No question, hands down, I loved it the most. Needless to say, I've wanted to veganize She Crab Soup for a while now but couldn't figure out what to do about the crab.
Back when I gave a copy of Vegan Comfort Food away, everyone who entered the contest was asked to share their go-to comfort food. A lot of people replied "pumpkin oats" and I found myself licking my lips and thinking "mmm... that sounds so good!" I'm not much of an oatmeal person but I do love oatmeal cookies! Why I never thought to put them together before escapes me but man oh man, these are some of the best cookies I've ever had!
