Yam fries: Dipped yams in soy milk with vanilla extract and coated with panko bread crumbs in cinnamon and sugar. Drizzled with cinnamon and oil, baked at 425 for 30 minutes.
Oatmeal cookies: Modified recipe from a vegan recipe. Used half the amount of sugar and added dried cherries and chocolate chunks.
Modification to a Food Network recipe. Used tofu instead of chicken and added black beans. Substituted mole for enchilada sauce. No cheese, but still tasty. Used excess stuffing as a topping.
Seasoned beef with salt, pepper, Italian herbs, and Worcestershire. Placed on top of onions and carrots and filled pan with beef broth and a splash of OJ. Cooked at 325 for about 30 minutes or so, topped with tomatoes and cooked for an additional half hour.
Dinner for me and Chris: soyrizo and potato tacos. Cooked soyrizo until crispy, then stir-fried garlic, onions, green peppers, and potatoes. Seasoned with pepper, salt, paprika, and cumin. Served with corn tortillas and salsa.
