Above is a still from the frosting section of the video that cut off. For the dog- friendly frosting recipe, visit Sweet Soy Vegan Blog.

Muffin Tin Sunday/ Biscuit Month!



I realized why my biscuits have been turning out so well lately. I have been putting TWICE as much earth balance in them as the recipe calls for. 1/2 Cup Earth Balance for SIX biscuits. That is 1.3 Tablespoons of margarine in each biscuit. Plus I've been using water instead of soymilk. I believe soymilk sometimes weighs down a recipe. I made some peanut butter oatmeal muffins this evening. (Pictured above) I put some baking scraps in them: leftover ground walnuts, prunes, and some maple syrup. Thank you to the muffin man. I'm thinking of re-naming this blog Everyday Biscuits or Biscuits Too. Since last month had a theme, I hereby declare December internetional Biscuit Month. Now if I could only make gravy without having a nervous breakdown.

Angel Hair Pasta


Sometimes very simple old staples are the best things to eat. Old rusty staples. Actually I'm talking about PASTA. More specifically ANGEL HAIR PASTA. Something about angel hair is just different. Maybe it's the texture. Maybe it's the name, but we cooked some good old fashioned tomato sauce with angel hair today and it was the most satisfying meal I've had in a long time. The snow was also pretty magical. A day off with snow and angel hair.
