Nova made us these blueberry-frosted vanilla donuts. Yesterday with the Grand-daughter here she used oat flour and today made them for us with ww flour. She also replaced the margarine with coconut oil.

Black Bean & Quinoa Loaf
Black Bean & Quinoa Loaf for supper tonight. Couldn’t get it to firm up. Realized later that I misread the amount of oats. Was pretty good otherwise.
Recipe here.
The following day I had it as a sandwich.
Quinoa & Brussel Sprouts with Balsamic Glaze
This was pretty good especially since I’m not that fond of the sweet and sour of the syrup and vinegar in it.

Butternut Squash
My Mother had given us half of a butternut squash she had. This was our first time having it. I cubed and roasted it at 400 for 30 minutes and served it with some sauteed mushrooms over a mix of brown and wild rice. Home-made whole wheat bread and a salad on the side. It was really good.

Veggie Sandwich
For supper on this New Year’s Eve I made a simple veggie sandwich. Sauteed red bell pepper, artichoke hearts and mushrooms atop toasted multi-grain bread with a hummus spread. Next time I think I’ll include onions.
Flourless Chcocolate Muffins
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.
Recipe here.
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.
