Another vegan cake

We had a little get together today, and I promised my friends I would try to recreate the cake I threw together. It was a last minute inspiration, and I didn't follow a recipe... I think this one would go well with coffee. Please remind me to offer coffee/tea next time, people! I get a little scatter-brained some days!

Here's what I did:

3 T. ground flaxseed
2 c. oats
4 c. boiling water
Mix together, allow to sit for 10-15 min. It will get thick and porridge-like, if it gets too thick, add a little more water to thin it down. I think I ended up adding about another 1/2 cup...

Add:
1.5 t. vanilla
1/2 c. oil
1 - 1.5 c. raw sugar
1/2 c. apricot jam
Mix well.

Add:
4 c. flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt

Mix well. pour in a large pan (I used my lasagna pan) and bake in a preheated oven (175 C/350 F) for about 1 hr, test to make sure it is done...

Monday Night, April 4, 2011

Continuing the freezer cleanout, I still have a few things to use up.

Among the odds and ends I've found are peas, corn, green beans, oats, oat bran, sesame seeds, and more.
Tonight we'll use some of that up:

Coming to the table tonight:

Corn soup (saute onion, garlic, and red pepper. Add frozen corn and soup stock (or water). Bring to a boil, then simmer for 10-15 min. Puree with an immersion blender. Add milk or soymilk, if you like it creamier, and heat gently, but don't boil again.)

Pasta with cheese
Make-your-own-salad
Apple crisp (using some of those oats and oat bran!)

Oops! The day flew by; we were doing some major clean up and organization projects! At least I can look at the playroom and know that it is organized and we threw out LOTS of junk that had accumulated. I promised myself that I will not allow the children to buy any more toys from the shekel store again! It's just destined for the garbage, so let them keep it, and let me keep my hard-earned shekels!

Anyhow, quick supper plan for tonight:
Breakfast for supper! (Can you tell this is just for me and the kids? Hubby is coming home late...)

Oatmeal - I said I had to use up the oats I have on hand!
Toast with peanut butter and jelly
Yogurt, Cheese, etc
Carrot Sticks, Cucumber sticks
