Food!!!!

Well, today I made three new recipes from my new book Vegan Bites. Tonight we had: Organge-Teriyaki tofu, Yummy Yams, and Golden Homestyle Biscuits. Wow, these recipes were amazing!!! Very quick and easy, not to mention deliscious! The tofu was just spicy enough form the red pepper, the yams were deliscious, and the biscuits were perfectly crunchy and soft also, you could easily make the biscuits more savory or sweet. This book makes recipes really easy to make, and makes the perfect portion for just one or two people.

Vegan Recipe Books

Today I was given a new book called, Vegan Bites: Recipes For Singles by Beverly Lynn Bennett. All the recipes are single servings, just enough for one meal and some leftovers. This is great because it is a waste of food if we make more food than we can eat. I have yet to try any of the recipes but if you are a single serving young adult out there you should pick up this book and take a look at it.



Although, today I did make some vegan coffee cake, and wow was it good! The recipe is form the book Sinfully Vegan by Lois Dieterly.
