always the same...

... yes I wanted to post and guess what? the usb cable for my camera was away again :-/
but now my newest post: chocolate hazelnut biscotti adapted from veganomicon and glutenfree, which I baked today. I won't post the recipe, because it still has to be improved (unless someone wants to help me)...
so here is the photo:

One post after another

I really hope that this will not be the last time that one post comes after another and I will post more often. At the moment I have so many ideas and I'm dreaming of publishing a cake book in German (maybe it works - we'll see, if I have enough time and ideas). So here is my cake: Portuguese cinnamon cake! It's so delicious with just the right amount of cinnamon and your kitchen will smell like it's Christmas time.

I promised a recipe

so here's the recipe to the previous post:

wheat free sesame apricot cookies:

1 3/4 cups oat flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2/3 cups granulated sugar + 1/2 tablespoon molasses
1/4 cup oil
1 tablespoon ground flaxseeds
1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons soymilk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup sesame seeds
1/4 cup tahini
1/2 cup dried apricots cut into small cubes

Preheat the oven to 375 °F
Sift together the oat flour, baking soda and salt. In another mixing bowl withk together the flaxseeds and soymilk. Stir together the sugar and molasses, add the oil, vanilla and tahini, whisk until everything is emulsified.
Mix the wet ingredients into the dry, fold in the sesame seeds and dried apricot cubes.
Drop the batter by the tablespoon onto an baking sheet with parchment paper, leaving about 1 1/2 inches of space between the cookies and bake for 10 to 12 minutes.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack to cool the rest of the way.

cookies

I totally forgot to post these. They're wheatfree sesame apricot cookies with a lemon icing and some dried and cut into small cubes apricots on some cookies. It's adapted from veganomicon's wheat free chocolate chip cookies. If I have time I'll post it. Maybe this weekend or so, because I don't have school on thursday and friday. Of course I have other stuff to post, too, but I'm very busy at the moment (writing class tests, playing soccer matches, learning for driving school and so on).

I wanted to post...

...but I hadn't got time and the usb cable for my camera was away. And it was my birthday but I hadn't got the time to celebrate or to bake a cake (only for my classmates). There's also no photo of the cake for my classmates, because they ate it so quickly :-D. Ok enough, here the photos:

remember this post? no? anyway here is the new and improved plow made with mushrooms, carrots, herbs, bell pepper and TVP. So good!

Ugly soup, made with broccoli, potatoes, quinoa and herbs. Really ugly, but delicious.

my birthday present from my brother and sisters... so many vegan sweets, I couldn't decide which one I have to eat first.

simple and quick, that's what I wanted after a busy day. So I came up with this italian spiced tomato bulgur and beans (I know, it doesn't really match together).

I had some leftover cooked buckwheat, so I made a salad. Don't know what I threw into it.

And last but not least, the lemony roasted potatoes from veganomicon. I ate them with cauliflower, because I was lazy.

cookies and "fast" food

When I was young... haha most of you would say I'm still young... I couldn't eat fast food. I was one of those kids who went to McDonalds only one time in the year and the only thing I could eat there were the french fries and eventually the chicken mc nuggets. I just didn't like much the food there and so I don't miss the fast food. But today I wanted a burger, I don't know why but I just had to eat a burger. So I made a burger to my taste with homemade burgers (from a package haha ;-) ), tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce and lots of mustard and ketchup... so good. The best "burger" I've ever had.

And of course I made cookies. My choice were the Wheat Free Chocolate Chip Cookies from Veganomicon and Happy Cookies from this French blog.

cupcakes and pasta

Yesterday I baked a lot, I made the lime/lemon scones again. Everybody likes them, my mother told me to double the recipe when I make it next time, because they're so good.
Then I gave the jelly donut cupcakes from veganomicon a try. But they were rather jelly-stuffed cupcakes, because the home-made jam I used was way too thick and sank to the bottom, as you can see in the picture.
And last but not least I tried the lower fat banana bread (no picture sorry) from veganomicon, too.

I also did a bit of cooking, though I could bake all day long. I made the Spicy Lemon Pasta with Broccoli from veganyumyum.com and I have to admit that this is now one of my favourite pasta recipes. I almost followed the recipe, the only change I made was that I added 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano and 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme at the end.
