Your Vegan Mom

Your Vegan Mom
You guys, the broccoli we talked about? It's not ready yet. It cooks a long time. In the meantime, let's talk about birthdays. In Desmond's cake from last fall (seven layers!) And last summer, Felix's pumpkin pancakes were held together by yogurt frosting (soy yogurt + raw cashews + maple syrup -> Blend until smooth.) For Grandma, we made multigrain pancakes with layers of lightly sweetened yogurt and berries. To turn our basic pancake recipe multigrain, I used a cup of whole spelt flour, 1/4 cup of cornmeal, 1/2 cup of all purpose, and 1 cup of oats in place of the 2 cups of flour called for. I love birthdays and pancakes and watching my boys snuggled up against their grandma at breakfast. It's been a good day. *(Also, I'm not 100% happy with the recipe yet.

40 Belief-Shaking Remarks From a Ruthless Nonconformist | Raptitude.com If there’s one thing Friedrich Nietzsche did well, it’s obliterate feel-good beliefs people have about themselves. He has been criticized for being a misanthrope, a subvert, a cynic and a pessimist, but I think these assessments are off the mark. I believe he only wanted human beings to be more honest with themselves. He did have a remarkable gift for aphorism — he once declared, “It is my ambition to say in ten sentences what others say in a whole book.” A hundred years after his death, Nietzsche retains his disturbing talent for turning a person’s worldview upside-down with one jarring remark. Even today his words remain controversial. Here are 40 unsympathetic statements from the man himself. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. 39. 40.

Recipe: quinoa, black bean & sweet potato croquettes with pumpkin seed chipotle cream - Dreena Burton - Vegan Soccer Mom Black Bean, Sweet Potato and Quinoa Croquettes with Pumpkin Seed Chipotle Cream I recently asked my blog followers which of my recipes they’d like posted. I’ve been working my way through new recipes for my fourth cookbook. These gluten-free patties are somewhat delicate and fragile, and so should be eaten with a fork as a patty or croquette, rather than on a bun as a burger. Black Bean, Quinoa, and Sweet Potato Spicy Croquettes In a skillet over medium-high heat, add the oil. Note: For kids, omit the chile in the sauté stage, and then before making patties, remove a portion for your children. Note: Cook the sweet potatoes in advance by baking whole. Recipe copyright 2010 Dreena Burton. Pumpkin Seed Chipotle Cream Using a hand blender or blender, combine all ingredients. Note: Be sure to blend this sauce long enough until it is creamy smooth. Note: This sauce is fairly thick with pureeing, and will thicken with refrigeration.
