Natural crunch peanut butter

Agave nectar

Vanilla extract

Baking powder

Flaxseed meal

Sucanat

Mix all ingredients together.  We use the jarred natural crunch peanut butter from Whole Foods 365 brand. I don’t why but it is the best PB we have used with this recipe.

There is a very good Peanut Butter Frosting in The Skinny Bitch Ultimate Everyday Cookbook  By:Kim Barnouin  page 273    This book in very good and has a lot of information.  Very well written.

MOFO 2013 - Cinnamon Roasted Cauliflower

Cauliflower

Olive oil

Cornmeal

Cinnamon

Sea salt, to taste 

Mix cornmeal, cinnamon & sea salt together. 

Chop cauliflower into bite size pieces then add oil

Toss cauliflower/oil into dry mix then transfer to baking pan.

I kept thinking cinnamon was a sweet spice since it in the cookies, etc. It’s not of course.  But it does add a lot to the recipe. This is an odd recipe but worth trying.  The cauliflower was very tender & good.

MOFO 2013 - Tomato Basil Soup

Roma tomatoes

Tomato Juice

Large fresh Basil leaves

Nondairy milk

Nondairy butter

Salt & pepper, to taste

Boil tomatoes to peel them then combine with other ingredients into the blender. We add more basil leaves that the recipe usually asks for and we have never added butter It is still excellent. Some soups are even better the next day.  This is one of them.

We usually eat this with our grilled cheese sandwich (see tomorrow’s post).

This is a very good recipe book you need to look at it.

This is the “WOW” Recipe for 2012

The base:

 small new potatoes baked then sliced
 vegan cheese

Lady Bug:
half of a grape tomato for the body
part of an olive for the face
spots on the body are capers

These take a littler longer than some of the other appetizers but taste very good.

“The Museum reminds us that the universe is grander than ourselves, older than

we can fathom, and that the world actually revolves around the sun and not us.”

Said by the Perot Museum

   

          Reunion Tower

 

Built in 1974, Reunion Tower is one of the most recognizable landmarks in Dallas.

It is 50 stories high and has observation deck. Wolfgang Puck took the restaurant over and remolded it naming it Five Sixty. The floor rotates 360 degrees every 55 minutes giving everyone a chance to take in the skyline views while you dine.
