I made these for a snack today. I’m not a big fan of peanut butter when it’s cooked into things but the chocolate overpowers the peanut butter so they were pretty good.

Chickpea Omelet
The first one I placed the filling (green onion, sauteed red bell pepper and mushrooms) atop the omelet and folded over. The second one I mixed the filling in the batter. They were pretty good especially when topped with salsa. Recipe here.
Maple Glazed Brussels Sprouts With Tempeh Bacon
I don’t really have a recipe. I cut the tempeh in to thin strips and marinade for a bit in tamari and a dash of liquid smoke.
Cook the tempeh at 400 for about 12 minutes on each side.
Clean and cut the Brussels sprouts in half and toss with coconut oil and maple syrup.
Roast the Brussels sprouts at 375 for about 12 minutes on each side.
Mix the sprouts and tempeh together and serve.
Alfredo Zucchini Pasta
Zoodles with an Alfredo sauce made from cauliflower. We both thought this was really good. I topped it with sauteed mushrooms and crushed red pepper flakes.

Vegan Zombie
We enjoy watching the Vegan Zombie on Youtube and recently purchased the Vegan Zombie cook book. So far I’ve made 3 of the recipes and they were all pretty good.
Lasagna rolls. Before going in the oven here.
A vegan omelette with a side of hash-browns. I need to perfect the cooking of it. I stuffed it with red bell pepper, red onion, jalapeno and Daiya cheddar shreds. The batter contains chopped baby spinach.
Something Brushetta-like. It was based off a recipe in the book. Bread topped with a roasted garlic paste, tomato, red onion, basil and topped with Daiya mozzarella shreds.
Vegan French Toast
I made this no egg, no dairy French Toast this morning. A lot better than I was expecting. I halved the recipe and it made enough for 2 pieces of toast. I used an acient grain bread.
Recipe here.
Vegan Potato Soup
Nova made this for dinner last Vegan Potato Soup for dinner. It’s topped with shredded Daiya cheddar cheese and home-made fake bacon bits made from coconut.
We both thought it was just ok. May try another recipe or tweak this one.
