Homemade Almond Milk. One thing that is pretty much always in my refrigerator is almond milk.

Homemade Almond Milk

I love the nuttiness of the plain and vanilla flavors. And the chocolate almond milk? There’s just nothing like it in a tall glass of iced coffee. And even though I love making many things from scratch, it just never occurred to me to make homemade almond milk until I saw Jennifer’s recipe here on Tasty Kitchen! It also never occurred to me how simple it is to make it. The main thing is to soak the almonds in water for up to 6 hours, which will soften them and make it easier to extract the flavor from them once they are blended.

Hippie Squares « The Misfit Baker. I know, I know… It can’t be Vanilla Cupcakes and Pumpkin Donuts all the time.

Hippie Squares « The Misfit Baker

For those days that you need a little more nutritional oomph to your treats might I suggest a Hippie Square? Packed with whole grains, wheat germ, and sweetened with brown rice syrup, these squares make a perfect afternoon pick-me-up, study break snack, or maybe (dare I say) breakfast. I must admit, I really enjoyed their flavour, but was a little concerned that my junk food loving tasters might find them too “healthy tasting”. I worried for nothing.

The squares disappeared in no time, and it was even brought to my attention that they ran out and wanted more :-) Kale chips » Simone Anne Photography. Oh.

My. Gosh. The Vegan Chickpea: Chocolate & Cinnamon Marbled Cupcakes. Dinner Rolls. I get the feeling that dinner rolls are one of those things that don’t come out of the oven very often. We all love them. There’s something about the soft melt-in-your-mouth inside, the buttery outside… it’s nearly impossible to resist a freshly made dinner roll. That’s just the problem though. That whole freshly made thing is hard to do. I don’t know about you, but it is rare I have the time to be home early in the afternoon to throw a batch of dough together to be ready for dinner.

{Due to a recent virus attack I lost a whole bunch of recipe on my blog. I am slowly working on posting them back one by one. I am going to start with the recipes I am getting most requests for. If you remember/want to try one of my earlier recipes which is now not in this blog please write to be at chinmayie.bhat@gmail.com and i’ll try to post it as soon as possible. Curried Potato, Cauliflower & Kale Stew. As I recently mentioned in my 11 Randoms Game post, I was born in Manhattan, but moved to a small town in Massachusetts when I was four.

Curried Potato, Cauliflower & Kale Stew

Granted, we lived only an hour outside of Boston, but for day-to-day purposes, restaurant options were very limited in my town. There was the local pizza shop, a Dunkin’ Donuts (this doesn’t even qualify), and an Americanized Chinese restaurant – the one my mom shed tears over during our first week outside of NYC. Not surprisingly, I wasn’t exposed to a diverse range of foods. My family’s tofu-eating ways were as exotic as it got, and we would rarely go out to eat due to our limited options. King Oyster Mushroom Vegan Scallops with Cucumber. Served sizzling hot from the skillet - these King Oyster Mushroom "Scallops" are so much fun.

King Oyster Mushroom Vegan Scallops with Cucumber

I serve these glistening gems alongside cool crunchy stumps of Persian cucumbers. Fresh pepper. Flat parsley. A dipping bowl of spicy, smoky red harissa on the side. Serve as a fancy appetizer - or over top a salad or grain dish. Kale Peanut Side Salad. Top 10 Go Vegan Tips. Have I ever mentioned that I love your emails?

Top 10 Go Vegan Tips

Because I do. Especially emails like this one from Olivia. Veggie Potpie Stew and Sweet Potato Drop Biscuits. Let me start off by saying that Isa Chandra Moskowitz (Author of several cookbooks, including Veganomicon and Appetite for Reduction) is a genius.

Veggie Potpie Stew and Sweet Potato Drop Biscuits

Every recipe of hers I have tried, has been absolutely delicious. In Appetite for Reduction, she comes up with substitutions that work so well, you'd never guess it was a healthier version. If you don't have any of her cookbooks, I'd highly recommend them. Vegan on the Go-Go. Pumpkin Chai Spice Frappuccino. I haven't had a Chai or Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino from Starbucks for over two years.

Pumpkin Chai Spice Frappuccino

I used to drink them on occasion before I switched to a vegan diet and never ever gave it a second thought as to how many grams of sugar they contained. Did you know that a tall 12oz Pumpkin Spice has 47g of sugar! My recipe is a little better coming in at about 25g for 16oz. However, mine contains real pumpkin puree. It is a little high in fat because of the cashew milk (about 7.5g fat) per 8oz, but as long as you share it with someone else, (which might be hard to do), it's a lot healthier for you than a soy frappuccino at Starbucks. Fannie Farmer’s Banana Bread, Veganized. Good morning from (not so) sunny LA!

Fannie Farmer’s Banana Bread, Veganized

Stupid me, I forgot my camera cable, so I can’t upload any pictures. But I’ll be back on Monday! In the meantime, here’s something I made last week slash make pretty much every week, because it’s that much of a classic. Plus at 65 degrees here and overcast skies, I’m feeling the fall vibes 3000 miles away! V for Vegan: easyVegan.info.

Roasted Eggplant Pesto. This week on the FatFreeVegan Facebook page, I’ve been offering my suggestions for Fourth of July dishes–salads that transport well, veggie burgers you can make ahead and heat on the grill, etc. You can add a pasta salad tossed with this aromatic pesto to the list of foods you can bring and that everyone–vegan and non-vegan, health enthusiasts and hedonists–will enjoy. Traditional pesto combines basil with olive oil and, often, cheese, and vegan versions usually replace the cheese with nuts but keep the olive oil. Hot Skillet Salad. I’m on a diet healthy eating plan. Those of you who just stumbled on this blog are probably now looking at its name and going, “Well, duh!”

Simple Cabbage and Chickpea Soup with Fresh Basil. The day after her 14th birthday, my daughter E leaned against the door to my office and said, “Let’s go on a diet together.” I was stunned into babbling: “You do not need to go on a diet. You’re a size 0. If you get any smaller, you’ll cease to exist.” Apple, Carrot, and Ginger Smoothie Serves 2 This... Sumac Ginger Tofu, Quinoa, Broccoli, Mushrooms. Today I'm infusing some creative flavors into a basic plate of quinoa, tofu and veggies. I add the spicy sweet flavors of sumac, ginger, coconut, maple and tamari. Red quinoa is the perfect nutty grain to accent this sublime plate. I love this plate as a sturdy lunch. Or to accent a hefty dinner salad.

Serve with some sumac-speckled hummus dip and lemon olive oil grilled pita bread for a complete, cravable meal. The tricky part of any meal is figuring out how to flavor the main ingredients.
