I have escarole to use up, so I am thinking some sort of Italian vegetable soup. If I feel like it, maybe I will make hubby some vegan muffins. He is always jonesing for homemade baked goods, and he loves it when they are low in fat as well. Don't make a New Year's Resolution...make a Decision!

Posted Wednesday, January 26, 2011 at 2:45 PM Hubby was going to do bread and soup today but decided he felt like having a burger...so he made bagels and we'll have black bean patties for dinner. Nothing fancy or special really but so tasty! --Deb R

It was good, but my mom made it last week and it was better. Juicier somehow. I have to find out what she did different. I had leftover Ethiopian tomatoe salad and guacamole which was great too.

He enjoys all sorts of baking doughs, not so much the pastry/dessert stuff. Whole wheat tortillas are a regular thing year round. Bagels are mostly only fall/winter. Bread loaves are occasionally, when he feels like it or for special occasions. Pizza is another that is fairly regularly on the agenda. --Deb R

He takes 2 to work everyday.. as a mid-morning snack.. Better than the little debbies he used to take! I also had 2 today with my carrot and celery soup. They really are wonderful. I use unsweetened soy milk.. you might be able to leave out the canola oil.. but they are already low in fat right?

Spoon into a lined muffin pan & bake 19-23 min until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

No recipe to go from really, I just saw a tofu ricotta process online and immediately knew I had to try making a lasagna with it. It was delicious!!! I'm definitely never using the no-boil noodles again though. Call me old fashioned, but the ones you have to cook up first just work better for me. http://vegamorphosis.blogspot.com/2011/01/vegan-lasagna-and-why-i-dislike-no-boil.html Check out my blog as I do the 21-Day Vegan Kickstart! http://vegamorphosis.blogspot.com www
