Meatless (MLK) Monday: Vegan Strawberry Colada Cake

Published Monday, January 16, 2012 By Mekkie. Under Recipes  Tags: Baking, bread/muffins/cake, breakfast, Dessert, food, gluten-free, healthy, meatless monday, microwave, quick, Side Dishes, vegan, vegetarian  
The first time I made this, it was much more complicated with far more ingredients. Finding myself without most of them yesterday left me hungry and looking for something easy to replace my standard morning fare. What better replacement than a new take on my typical breakfast cake...with coconut flour! ...

Vegan Blueberry-Lemon Scones (Fat-Free!)

Published Monday, November 28, 2011 By Mekkie. Under Recipes  Tags: Baking, bread/muffins/cake, breakfast, Dessert, food, gluten-free, healthy, meatless monday, vegan, vegetarian  
There is something very proper about scones that these just don't seem to live up to. When I think of scones, I think of pinkies-up style affairs filled with rose-imprinted teacups that are probably worth more than my laptop. But, let's be honest, I'm anything but proper and you know those ...

Published Monday, November 21, 2011 By Mekkie. Under Personal Favorites, Recipes  Tags: Baking, bread/muffins/cake, breakfast, Dessert, food, gluten-free, healthy, Indian, meatless monday, sauces/dips, vegan, vegetarian  
Ah bagels, how many softball games I spent sitting on the bench eating my own weight in bagels. Cheese bagels, blueberry bagels, and my personal favorite, chocolate chip bagels. But the best bagels of all don't come off a bakery shelf--they come right out of your kitchen, a reward for all ...

Meatless Monday: Low-Carb Raspberry-Lemon (Cinnamon) Rolls

Published Monday, October 24, 2011 By Mekkie. Under Recipes  Tags: Baking, bread/muffins/cake, breakfast, Dessert, food, fruit, gluten-free, healthy, meatless monday, vegan, vegetarian  
It's happened. The thing I've been trying to avoid for years: I......cooked with.........yeast! I know, right? And it's all because of these cinnamon rolls. Vegan?--check; Healthy?--check; Gluten-free?--not so much, but that's an easy fix; All around yummy?--double check. Maybe it was just a natural progression from the parathas. Or maybe I just really ...

Vegan Raspberry Lemon Muffins for Vegan Baking Day!

Published Friday, September 30, 2011 By Mekkie. Under Recipes  Tags: Baking, bread/muffins/cake, breakfast, Dessert, food, fruit, healthy, microwave, vegan, vegetarian  
Stress can make you do strange things. For example, I was at Marshalls the other day (trying to distract myself from the faint feelings of imminent doom) and happened upon these cute little silicone baking cups. Given my new pledge to stick to the bare necessities until I find a well-paying, ...

Published Monday, August 29, 2011 By Mekkie. Under Personal Favorites, Recipes, Weight Watchers Core-Friendly  Tags: Baking, bread/muffins/cake, Dessert, food, healthy, ice cream, meatless monday, product reviews, vegan, vegetarian  
That just happened to have some candles sticking out of it. Well, 3 candles to be exact: one of which was broken and one of which was so far melted it could barely be called a candle anymore. Sloppy writing (the tube of writing gel exploded on me!) and disfigured candles ...

Meatless Monday: Lo-Cal Donuts

Published Monday, August 15, 2011 By Mekkie. Under Personal Favorites, Recipes, Weight Watchers Core-Friendly  Tags: Baking, bread/muffins/cake, breakfast, Dessert, food, healthy, meatless monday, peanut butter, vegan, vegetarian  
I was at Sears a while back looking for an air conditioner (when I still had a place to stay) and found myself staring at a promo stand for babycake makers--including the donut ones. Like magic, I was overcome by an intense desire to have some donuts. Keep in mind: I ...

And, no, one of those ingredients is not eggs. Or egg substitute. This is a perfect recipe for days when you wake up wanting a real breakfast but the fact it is snowing in April makes you so adverse to the thought of doing anything that you cannot scrounge up the ...

Chicken Little’s Waffles

Published Saturday, March 26, 2011 By Mekkie. Under Personal Favorites, Recipes  Tags: bread/muffins/cake, breakfast, Dessert, food, fruit, healthy, quick, vegetarian  
I've been researching the feeling I talked about yesterday (WebMD...we all do it). Apparently, it's called "derealization" and is (or can be) associated with extreme anxiety. God forbid I should just feel "anxious" like everyone else. I skip past panic and go straight to delusional. This got me thinking, which probably ...

Published Friday, March 11, 2011 By Mekkie. Under Personal Favorites, Recipes, Weight Watchers Core-Friendly  Tags: Baking, beans, bread/muffins/cake, breakfast, Dessert, food, healthy, quick, Side Dishes, vegan, vegetarian  
For anyone that saw my "any way you like it" cookies, this is the same idea, but with cake. You can make it vegan, you can make soft, you can make it dense, you can even make it savory. Just make it! And come back after to let me know how ...
