Vegan Ranch Dressing!

While searching the bloggersphere, I came across a recipe for Vegan Ranch dressing. I've never been able to find it in stores (I've had it twice in vegan cafes), but here is the recipe!

I havent made it yet, but it seems similar the types I have had, which were very good.

Ingredients:
6 oz. Mori-Nu silken style tofu -- firm or extra firm
1/4 cup Soy Mayonnaise
1/4 cup green onion -- finely chopped
3 tablespoon water4 t. lemon juice
1 tablespoon freshly chopped parsley
1 tablespoon freshly chopped dill
1 tablespoon tamari soy sauce, or Bragg's Liquid Aminos
1 1/2 teaspoon garlic
1 dash cayenne pepper
Salt and Pepper to Taste

1) Blend all in a food processor until smooth and creamy!

Thanks to Fat-Free Vegan Kitchen for the recipe and Adventures of a Vegan Cyclist for blogging about it!

Chocolate Cowpie Drop Biscuits

After I baked these I noticed they certainly looked like cow pies. These have no refined sugars in them, just maple syrup (unless your soymilk contains refined sugars)

I made this recipe by hand, just using the drop biscuit recipe on the box as a guide, so you may need to add more or use less of an ingredient according to your tastes.

Ingredients:
2 1/4 cups Bisquick, plus more to add if dough is too soft
1 1/2 cup soymilk (you might not need it all)
1/2 cup cocoa powder (unsweetened)
1/2 cup maple syrup
3/4 cup of chocolate chips (recommended but not neccesary)

1) Preheat oven to 450.
2)In a large bowl, add Bisquick and cocoa powder, stir til there are no clumps and they are mixed together.
3) Add 2/3 cup of the soymilk, and stir. If the dough is too dry, add more soymilk.
4) When dough is moist, add the syrup and fold in the chips.
5) If it is too dry (most likely), add soymilk gradually until the mixture is doughy (slightly sticky and keeps together, not runny like batter.) If you've added too much soymilk, add a small amount of Bisquick and stir in til it is smooth and doughy.
6) With a medium spoon, drop spoonfuls of dough onto an UNGREASED cookie sheet.
7) Bake at 450 for about 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the size of the biscuits.

Makes about 12 large biscuits or 20 small biscuits.

P.S. These taste awesome dipped in chocolate fondue, or as Timmy called it, diarrhea sauce! (blech!)

Site Renovations

Lately I have been adding a lot of modifications to the site. First off, I'm starting to go through the ENTIRE Vegan Fast Food Options list and add more items! Second, I'm adding more links and expanding into the blogospere. Thirdly, I'm going to start advertising to get revenue (which I can use to help this site grow even more.)

Soon I will be starting to change the layout, and add more pictures. I think I will keep the site generally the same (borders, color themes, etc), but enhance my content. If you notice a bug or an error in the coding, it will probably get fixed soon, as I am constantly now editing the code (which I do all by hand, I'm pretty skilled in HTML)

As always, if you have any suggestions, feel free to leave a comment and tell me because I am always looking for ways to optimize my site!

New Links/Blog Links!

I just added a bunch of new links to the website under "Blogs I Read" and I added a link to VeganOutreach (under "Links")

Please check them out and support the vegan blogosphere! I read all of the blogs listed, so they are definitely worthwhile!
Remember, if you have a vegan site that you would like to trade links with, just leave a comment! (or if you dont, why not start one? I'd be happy to give you tips to help you get the canteloup rolling!)

Ads

I will soon be getting Google AdSense advertisements on my blog. These ads, when clicked, will generate revenue for the site (my mother and I are splitting the profits since I need someone who is 18 to do it with.) Harvard is kind of expensive....

I am not allowed to ask you to click the ads or in any way direct you to them, so I'm telling y'all this now before I get them on so I wont accidentally break the rules by informing you about them.

I am also not allowed to have any pornographic material on my website (so if your picture-ID for comments is nude, please comment as anonymous/no reply ♥) Thanks!
