If you use eggs for baking, feel free to substitute 2 of them instead of the tofu. http://www.grouprecipes.com/104740/double---dark-chocolate-sesame-cakes.html This is the perfect use up for home made applesauce! I used a rich, thick home made kind made with peel-on, roasted apples, but of course jarred sauce or apple butter are fine! http://www.grouprecipes.com/103135/delicious-apple-fibre-muffins.html Adapted from Hannah's recipe at BitterSweet, this is a new and unique way to make "Zucchini Bread". You'll be dying to get your next giant out of the garden! Original recipe here: http://bittersweetblog.wordpress.com/2009/08/25/growing-like-weeds/ http://www.grouprecipes.com/102763/almond---zucchini-babka.html Louise was the first die-hard nutrition, exercise and general health "freak" I ever knew - she ran the gym my parents went to. Not only did she run grueling fitness classes 6 nights a week and keep the small gym open all 7 days, she was a personal trainer and nutritionist! She preached the benefits of spinach, roasted chicory instead of coffee, beet juice and even the notion of this chocolate cake made with PRUNES. At the time, I was a lazy, overweight teenager that lived off of pizza and "real" cake, and I thought she was absolutely nuts! Today, I still think she was a bit nuts, but I'm more like her now than I ever thought possible! I even LIKE exercising! http://www.grouprecipes.com/98690/louise-cake.html Adapted from an AMAZING recipe by Lindsay @ Happy Herbivore: http://happyherbivore.com/2009/06/soy-free-mac-n-cheese/. Sometimes I add a little salsa for zip or ketchup for a kid-like meal! http://www.grouprecipes.com/97734/lindsays-awesome-cheezy-pasta.html Simple to whip up (I actually recommend that you make the stuffing mixture a day ahead so the flavours blend), and vegan to boot - sweet red peppers filled with a textured soy mince (TVP), brown rice and a spicy sauce make summer dinners light and filling at the same time! Makes 1 main course serving. http://www.grouprecipes.com/96969/salsa-supreme-stuffed-peppers.html I got this recipe from one of my vegan books and I love it! As does my three year-old :) we also had fun making them together! They're great to pack on the road or for a trip to the park http://www.grouprecipes.com/96637/flax-balls.html
