Filed under: Vegan with a Vengeance, damn tasty, peanut butter chocolate shells
Well, we caved. We have eaten sugar and it’s so good! I’m shocked and amazed that we lasted as long as did. But I’m also glad that we ate sugar, because that means I baked… and we found that our brand spankin’ new oven is messed up! We had a repair person out yesterday and he said there was nothing wrong. Well, I see a 90 degree fluctuation in temperature as a big problem, so we’re continuing to take it up with the appliance place. I’m glad I found out sooner rather than later!
This week I had a hankering for some kielbasa and potatoes. My mother rarely cooked when I was growing up. Heated up, yes. Ordered for delivery, yes. Thawed and microwaved, yes. Cooked or baked, not so much. But one thing she did make was fried potatoes and kielbasa and I really had a hankering for it the other day.
Yum- grease! It totally satisfied my craving.
Breakfast this morning, VwaV Banana Oatmeal Raisin waffles, as pancakes, with some fruit salad on the side.
So yummy and moist. So far every VwaV waffle recipe I’ve used for pancakes has been great. I just can’t motivate myself to deal with the waffle maker, I always struggle with it, they stick, brown or tear, it’s just a chore.
Well, even with a messed up oven, I still can’t help but bake and cookies are the easiest goodies to subject to fluctuating temperatures. These are my Peanut Butter Chocolate Shell Cookies from the upcoming Damn Tasty Guide to Vegan Baking. And for you peanut butter lovers, the recipe is on my recipes page.
Yum, yum! I have a handful of fun meals planned for this week and I should know more about the release of the book later this week.

what’s going on with the oven? does the temp drop after it heats up?
Comment by joyce March 26, 2007 @ 4:18 pmThose cookies look amazing. I am not a peanut butter with chocoate fan, but there must be something else I could put in there. Mocha maybe.
Comment by joyce March 27, 2007 @ 8:15 amKielbasa and potatoes…comfort food.
The pancakes looks mighty tasty as well. I may need to do a dinner with breakfast foods soon. Usually, in the morning I am too lazy to cook.
Those cookies look/sound like chocolate pb heaven. I made something similiar awhile back from a recipe vegandiva posted. I’m looking forward to your zine, so I can give those a try.
