New Smoothie Maker

Got my first smoothie maker :) technically it is just a blender, but it has a smoothie stirring tool and a nozzle so it serves right out of the blender :)



Since I am eating all raw today I figured today would be the perfect day to open my new toy...


For lunch I made what I like to call My wish i was on a vacation Smoothie...:p

I wish I was on vacation Smoothie

1 frozen banana 1 cup unsweetened pineapple

1 cup orange juice, raw *add some ice depending on the consistency you prefer

BLUE HEAVEN!

It is such a rainy and gloomy day; I thought I'd brighten everyone up with some fun and delicious vegan cupcakes! I used the choc cream cheese recipe form The Joy Of Vegan Baking and made some minor adjustments..ie no cream cheese,more cocoa, etc

I made the frosting myself, it is a very sweet buttercream frosting and it's BLUE!!!

Reactions:

MOM: mmm I want that recipe!!!

DAN: they're so moist, these can't be vegan!

SO my rainy day is already getting better and I hope my cupcakes have cheered others up as well. I just can't wait to give one to my boyfriend, i think he'll love them!!!! peace.

sorry i haven't posted in so long. i have been so busy with school and applying for loans.

i made some choc chip cookies for my easter party and everyone loved them...vegan or not. it's a good classic choc chip recipe..

2 cups unbleached flour

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

vegan choc chips however many youd like

1 cup raw sugar

1/2 cup canola oil

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/4 cup water

DIRECTIONS: preheat oven to 350. in a large bowl mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt. when mixed add in the chips. make a well in the center and set aside.

In a medium bowl mix vegan sugar and oil. make sure this is mixed well then add vanilla and water. Now add the wet ixture to the dry and mix well but be careful not to overwork. Spoon onto ungreased cookie sheet then bake for 9 min. After nine min i usually go in two min increments until where i like them...normally i cook mine for 12 min on the top rack. ENJOY

makes about: 2 dozen delicious cookies.
