A Quickie

'Ello there, mateys!

I said I'd post more frequently, and at the risk of being called a liar, I was thinking I had better stick to my word.

I have a final tomorrow morning for history, and then my final final (as in, the one before I am set free for the year) is Monday morning. And it's chemistry. At least I have all weekend to study up!

That little muffie up there is none other than the famous Double Chocolate Muffin concocted by none other than the Happy Herbivore. I won a wee little contest on her blog and she ever so kindly mailed two of these babies as my prize. They were so good! And I haven't seen the recipe, but I imagine they are super healthy too. I ate it ever-so-daintily with my mini plastic fork. (I wash it off and like to reuse it for special occasions because it's just so fun to eat with!)



And I tried a Larabar - the cashew cookie kind - and loved it! I'm going to make a homemade version this weekend.



I sense a new addiction coming on... I have been looking at Veg Web a lot recently, and I signed up for an account today. What convinced me? This recipe. Oh my, it's so freakin' tasty, I want to make it again and again. Try it. You won't regret it, especially if you are a sugar-lover. General Tao's Tofu is actually Veg Web's most popular recipe.

And "eh" about this. It's the Asian-Style Scrambled Tofu, one of Isa's variations on scrambled tofu in VwaV. It was good, but her traditional recipe is better.

And to end this barely coherent, rambling post, more sweets are at your service:





My university started carrying a new line of products by Moo Moo's Vegetarian Cuisine. Justice and equality for the vegans - finally! You can find their website here. The Toasted Almond Peachana is the third product of theirs I have tried, but this was their breakfast entree. I have to say, I would buy it again. It's an absolutely gigantic oatmeal bar sweetened only with peaches and bananas. That's it. It's garnished with toasted almonds and cinnamon, and it's enormously healthy - though the fruit-sweetening (I suspect a little juice here) adds a lot of sugar to the nutrition facts label. It's still a perfectly acceptable breakfast, and it's just the right size for my purposes if you serve it with a glass of soymilk (hempmilk is quite the rage these days too) or a decaf soy latte. Mmm!



Today I also made Lolo's Brown Sugar & Peach Muffins (the spelt flour variation). They turned out just okay - I probably won't make them again, but the spelt flour does add something really special.

All righty now, this Ruby Red Vegan needs her beauty sleep for her 8 a.m. test tomorrow morning - wish me luck!
