 BANANA CREAM PIE

11 oz. soft tofu (box of soft Mori-Nu tofu works great!)
3 ripe bananas
1 tsp. vanilla
1/3 cup honey
1/4 cup shredded coconut - optional

Blend all ingredients until creamy. Pour into a partially baked 9" pie shell
and sprinkle coconut on top. Bake, covered, for 15 minutes (I use another pie
pan to cover), then uncover and bake for 5 minutes or until the top is slightly
brown. This one's yummy and easy to bake when you're in a hurry to munch out!
  Enjoy!

This is the best thing you can do with oatmeal, besides take a bath with
it when you have chicken pox.  The measurements aren't exact, but good
enough.

Ingredients:

2 cups of oats
1/2 cup maple syrup
3 tbs. white sugar
1 1/2 tbs. brown sugar
1/2 tbs. butter
2 tbs. vegetable oil
Dash of cinnamon
Raisins and chocolate chips (your desired amount)

First, melt butter in a pan over medium heat.  Add oats, brown and white
sugar, vegetable oil, and syrup while stirring.  When ingredients are
mixed together with a moist texture, remove from heat.  Next, add
desired amount of raisins and cinnamon.  After, take mixture out of the
pan, and place it onto a piece of waxed paper.  Press down into a square
(or any other shape...get creative).  Place the chocolate chips onto the
mixture with enough pressure so they will melt.  Chill in the fridge for
8-12 minutes, or until set, but not hard (not you silly, the mixture).
Cut into pieces.

Serves 2-4 people.

Check ya later,
Nicki and Jenna.

sesame tahini which is purchaed in health food stores is not only
wonderful to the taste buds but healthful and chock full of vitamins
as well. a wonderful recipte is this:  2 eggplants, baked and scoop
out the middle chopped up very fine. 3) add 5 taplespoons sesame
tahini in a separate bowl, with juice of two fresh lemons and l/4 cup
water. (more tahini required if want thicker paste) add a little salt,
 3 cloves of fresh garlic pressed in mix up, add to eggplant, stir
all ingredients together and serve as a dip with warmed pita bread.
mmmmm.                      enjoy, Joyce


Thanks to Laurel and Andrea for this delicious recipe!
samosa...a pastry pouch filled with various vegetables and currys. (if you
hate curry you can always add italian spices and herbs such as fresh basil,
thyme, oregano and garlic.)
(this is all from memory, so you will have to do it by sight as well..if it
looks like it needs more water, flour etc, feel free to add it)
pastry .... 3 cups flour
               3/4 cup water
               1 teaspoon salt
               1/2 tsp. baking powder
 

mix dry ingredients..slowly add water to make a stiff dough. flour hands
and kneed for a few minutes. cover with cloth and set aside.

filling....... 4 boiled potatos, skin on, diced into 1/4 inch cubes.
                1 medium/large onion.
                2 small/meduim carrots, diced and boiled with potatos
                 2 stalks celery, chopped well
                 1 clove garlic, minced
                1/2  frozen peas. (canned  or fresh is fine. whatever)

fry onion, celery, garlic and peas in a little water or oil. when onion is
clear, remove. let cool a few minutes. add to potatos and carrot. (and
anything else you might want to throw in)
add ..... 1 tbs curry powder
             1-3 tsp dry mustard (depends on how you like it)
              pepper to taste
            1 tsp cumin/corriander

add a little water to filling if it is dry. you dont want a sauce of
anykind though. the filling should fairly dry, but not sticky.
roll dough into a ball about the size of a small clementine. roll out with
pin to an 6-8 inch diamter...pretty thin is ok. or thicker if you like. cut
circle in half. drop desired amount of filing on to half. wet edges of
cirlce and pinch together. leaving no openings...they should like little
triangles.....seal well!
bake on greased sheet at 375 degrees for 20-30 minutes...flipping if you
want brown sides.
yumm!
When you get the absolute cravin', ravin' munchies, this is the only way to extinguish it.

PORTOBELLO MUSHROOM SOUP

Ingredients:

1 Huge Portobello Mushroom (at least 1 pound) - sliced & diced
1 Large Onion - sliced & diced 1 Large Zucchini - sliced & diced
6 Cooked Potatoes (boiled or microwaved)
1 Cup cooked Red or Brown Rice
2 Cups finely chopped Broccoli
1 Stick Butter
1 Cup Texturized Vegetable Protein (TVP) - coarse granules
Water
Olive Oil

Herbs Suggested:
Coarse Ground Black Pepper
Fines Herbes
Dill Weed
Cayenne Pepper
Tarragon

Preparation: Mash 3 potatoes with the herbs and spices and the stick of butter until smooth. Put aside. Cut the other 3 potatoes into large chunks and put aside as well. In your favourite soup pot put about 3 tablespoons of Extra Virgin Olive Oil and over a medium heat fry the dry TVP garnules until golden brown and bubbly. Then add the sliced and diced veggies and saute until all is tender and aromatic. Add the rice, mashed and chunked potatoes and enough water to make it soup! Stir, simmer, enjoy the aroma for awhile and then serve with Semolina Garlic Bread for a real hearty winter night's supper. The rice and TVP together will give a complete balanced protein that is easily digested and good for you! Leaving out the butter will please our vegan readers, and the soup is practically the same! Even Spike likes it!
