well hello again my friends! I'm still loving the armpit hair and it's gotten quite long on me! (though it seems to be kind of light...)

| Vanilla soymilk in vanilla pudding? |
[17 Dec 2009|08:37am] |
|
Have any of you ever made vanilla pudding with vanilla soymilk? I am making this eclair casserole thing today for our party tomorrow night and just realized that I forgot to get milk (which we never buy otherwise) but I have plenty vanilla Silk lite.
Will it be too sweet or weird?

Mazurek Adapted from Anna Thomas's The Vegetarian Epicure.
2 cups flour 1 cup sugar 1/4 tsp salt 1/2 cup butter 1 egg 1/4 tsp almond extract 1/4 tsps vanilla extract 1 cup milk or cream 1 cup currants 1 cup dates add cinnamon to your own taste
Combine dry ingredients in bowl, then add the egg, butter, and cream. Add the vanilla and almond extracts. Fold the currants and dates into the batter.
Bake at 350 for at least 40 minutes.
I made this as cupcakes, as I'm travelling over the holidays and have had far better experiences traveling with muffins or cupcakes than I have had with cake, however, you're supposed to make this in a bundt pan.
Glaze
Mix confectioner's sugar together with warm water diluted orange juice.

| Stuffed butternut squash |
[15 Dec 2009|03:07pm] |
Hello all!
I've always wanted to try stuffed squash but never have. Butternut squash has always been my favorite, so I'm wondering if any of you can provide some simple, not too fancy or expensive but yummy recipe ideas for dinner for my dad and me tonight? We're trimming the tree and I thought it would be nice to surprise him with a nice sit-down dinner which we haven't had together in probably a year.
Thanks in advance!
Also: More complicated recipes are also welcome if you think they are worth trying. I don't necessarily have to try them tonight!

| Mushroom halp! |
[14 Dec 2009|01:00pm] |
Hey all!
I find myself in possession of nearly three pounds of mushrooms. I would hate for any of these to go to waste but I'm sort of stumped for ideas. I'll be making a nice mushroom soup, but that will only use up 2 cups.
As an added dilemma, my sister HATES mushrooms.
So, your challenge if you chose to accept it: What are some sneaky ways I can use mushrooms?
A less challenging challenge: what are your favorite mushroom recipes?

| Creamy Marsala Wine Sauce Recipe |
[10 Dec 2009|04:59pm] |
I'm trying to modify a wine sauce recipe (needs to be vegan) but am not sure the best way to go about it.
Normally, I would reduce a bottle of marsala wine, then add 1 pint heavy whipping cream. That's it. It makes a very nice sweet sauce
When I have attempted to make this with 2% milk or anything less fatty/caloric than heavy whipping cream, it would tend to curdle a bit so I'm a a little scared to use plain old soy milk.
Does anyone have any ideas as far as using soy/rice milk / yogurt / flour..? / tofu / etc as the second ingredient? Any ideas on lowering the acidity of the wine before adding the second ingredient to reduce the chance of curdling if I do use soy/rice milk? I'm really craving it but I'm in the process of cutting dairy from my diet (if nothing works, I might settle for free-range, hormone-free, happier cream, but I really want to avoid that...)
