Mint Oreo Truffles

By The Vegan

I've been meaning to post this recipe for a while. Before classes started The Dark Chocolate and I made Mint Oreo Truffles (vegan of course). These are super-dee-duper easy and delectable (thank you, thesaurus.com).

Sweet Potato Burgers

by The Vegan

Sigh I know, I haven't posted in forever! I'll try to keep up. Today, for lunch, The Cookie Monster and I made sweet potato burgers. What can I say, cooking for yourself isn't nearly as fun.

(Vegan) Mac & "Cheese"

- by The Health Nut

So this is a vegan recipe that I altered & modified (and ended up making it non-vegan) until it was to my liking. It's for mac and cheese but I recommend not calling it that because it creates unrealistic expectations. If you make it thinking it will taste like cheese, you will be very disappointed (not that it tastes bad). It's actually really good and a much healthier alternative to real mac and cheese.

Sweet Potato Stuffed Zucchini

- by The Oven Mits

Yes, it is another sweet potato recipe. I'm not totally sure where the obsession came from. But it's fun so far! I had made a mexican stuffed zucchini over winter break and was really craving it a couple weeks ago. I looked in the fridge though and had no beans! Also, it was super cold/snowy out and not worth going all the way to get a can... so I looked up other stuffed zucchini recipes. I found this one and it looked perfect!

Vegan Zucchini Bread

- by The Health Nut

I usually make a lot modifications to recipes I come across until they fit my taste but this is one recipe that I think is perfect just as it is. It's my favorite zucchini bread recipe and it's super healthy AND vegan!

Eggless Quiche

- by The Vegan

Yesterday The Health Nut came over for dinner and we tried our hand at vegan quiche. Here's where I found the recipe: http://www.dietdessertndogs.com/2010/05/04/sos-kitchen-challenge-for-may-and-another-eggy-vegan-recipe/ I haven't had quiche in years, and I liked it before my vegan days so I thought I'd give it a whirl.

Sweet Potato Gnocchi

- by The Dark Chocolate

So I didn't even know what Gnocchi was until last year. I don't think I'd even heard of it until The Oven Mits told me about some amazing gnocchi she had in Vancouver, and even then I thought it was just some sort of pasta so I wasn't that interested in trying it. But when I learned that gnocchi was actually potato that was made to look like pasta, I was fascinated, and have always wanted to try it.

Vegan Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Inspired by The Cookie Monster to veganize the peanut butter chocolate chip cookies she made, we found this somewhat healthy recipe online http://www.veganbaking.net/vegan-recipes/cookies/peanut-butter-chocolate-chip-cookies.html for vegan peanut butter chocolate chip cookies.
