Is there any man, is there any woman, let me say any child here that does not know that the seed of war in the modern world is industrial and commercial rivalry? -- Woodrow Wilson, U.S. President

A refreshing sweet dessert that is even better with a scoop of Tofutti or Rice Dream over the top.

1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons soy margarine, or Spectrum spread
3/4 cup sweetener of choice (I use sucanate)
2 Tablespoons Silken tofu (whip by hand before adding to batter)
1+1/2 cups sifted unbleached white or wheat flour
2  teaspoons non-aluminum baking powder
1/2 teaspoon sea or kosher salt
1/2 cup soy, almond, or rice milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla
2 cups bluberries washed and drained (sprinkle with 1 teaspoon flour before adding to batter)
Topping:
1/2 cup sucanate (or your favorite sweetner, Honey or maple syrup will be too wet unless you alter the amounts of dry ingrediants.  I have also made the topping with maple syrup, adding 1/2 cup oatmeal to the mix)
1/3 cup unbleached flour
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (or to taste)
1/4 cup soy margarine

Cream margarine, sweetener, blend in whipped tofu till light and airy.
Mix together dry ingrediants,and add alternately with the wet. Gently fold in floured blueberries.  Pour into 8 X 8-inch pan.

Mix together remaining ingrediants cutting in the margarine to make a crumbly mixture.  Sprinkle over batter in pan, and bake in 375* F oven for 40-45 minutes.  Cool on rack, cut in squares, and  eat while still warm with a dollop of vanilla Tofutti.

Ginger Crinkle Cookies (vegan)

Delicious, crisp on the outside, with moist and chewy center Ginger cookies...  
  • 1 Cup dry sweetner of choice (Sucanat or granulated fructose work well, but you may wish to use less of the fructose)
  • 2/3 Cup Canola oil
  • 1 Cup good Applesauce, or Applebutter
  • 4 Tablespoons Molasses
  • 6 Ounces firm Tofu - mashed
  • 2 Teaspoons Ener-G egg replacer - disolve in 4 teaspoons warm water
MIX ALL OF THE ABOVE IN A LARGE MIXING BOWL.

SIFT TOGETHER:

  • 2.5 - 3 Cups unbleached white flour (or half and half whole wheat and white)
  • 1 Teaspoon Baking soda
  • 1 Teaspoon Non-aluminum baking powder
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Sea salt
  • 1 Teaspoon Ground cinnamon
  • 1 Teaspoon Ground Ginger
Mix dry ingredients slowly into wet, stiring by hand just enough to incorporate. If the dough seems very moist, add flour a little at a time till it feels soft but not too sticky.

Roll dough by hand into walnut sized balls, dip the top of each cookie in Sucanat and place on greased baking sheets(I like to use oil in a spray form) about 3 inches apart.

Bake at 350 degrees Farenheit for 8 - 10 minutes till golden brown, but not dark on bottom.  Let rest on pan for a few minutes before sliding on to rack for cooling.    

APPROXIMATELY 36 - 2 INCH COOKIES

Is it spelled Hummos, Hummus or Hummous? Who knows. But here is Randy's Raddy Hum-Moose Recipe. And I'll tell you this: it's mighty good!

  • 2 cups Chi-Chi Beans (Garbanzos, chick peas) [approx.16 oz.]
  • 1 cup- Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice(about 6 good lemons)
  • 3/4 Cup Tahini
  • lots of Garlic: it's your decision
  • 8 drops of some liquid hotsauce... this is your choice again
  • Some paprika for color
  • 2 pkgs. of Goya Sazon (a seasoning mix containing Monosodium Glutamate, Salt, Dehydrated Garlic, Cumin, Annatto, and Turmeric)
  • A couple dashes of Goya Adobo (Salt, Granulated Garlic, Oregano, Turmeric) / Sea Salt is a good substitute

* Add these ingredients in the order that I have them, into a food processor. Bring mixture to your desired texture. [Mine is smooth as a
baby's butt-just make sure it doesn't taste like one]

This is a good sauce to use in the lasagna recipe, or in anything that needs a tasty fresh sauce. It also works well to freeze it; just seal in plastic freezer boxes, and put in the freezer for use all winter.
