new recipes!

 Last night I made two recipes I have never tried and was a little scared of.  I made veggie burgers adapted from the blog oh she glows. I also made a yummy desert.  It actually turned out really good.  These recipes are both vegan.  I decided to try to make a dinner and desert that was completely vegan.  It was pretty fun.


Veggie Delicious Burger:

Ingredients:
1/2 cup onion, diced
1 large garlic clove, minced
flax eggs: 2.5 tbsp ground flax + 1/2 cup warm water, mix in bowl.  If you don't want to do this just use real eggs
1 cup oats processed into flour, I was lazy and just bought oat flour from the store
1.5 cups bread crumbs (process 3 pieces of ezekiel bread or any whole wheat bread until fine crumb
1 cup grated zucchini
1 cup cooked black beans, rinsed and roughly pureed or mashed
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley or other fresh herb
1/3 cup chopped almonds
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp cumin
2 tsp chilli powder
2 tsp oregano
kosher salt and black pepper to taste

Directions:
1. In a large skillet, saute' onions and garlic in 1/2 tbsp oil.  Mix your flax eggs in a small bowl and set aside for ten minutes

2. Place all ingredients into a large mixing bowl and add seasonings and salt to taste

3.  Shape dough into patties, This made about eight.

4.  Cook on a skillet with a little bit of oil on medium heat for about five minutes on each side.


Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Blizzard

The cookie dough for this tasted so good!  I am going to make some more and just keep it in the freezer for when I'm craving something sweet.  They don't have any eggs so you can snack on them whenever.  It is seriously good!

For the cookie dough:
Ingredients:
1/2 cup unsalted cashews
1/4 cup rolled oats (I used 1/4 cup oat flour)
1/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1.5 tbsp natural cane sugar (bought mine at sprouts)
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
4 tbsp pure maple syrup (add more if the dough is still too dry)
1/4 cup dark chocolate chips

Directions: In a food processor, add the cashews and oats and process until it crumbles.  Then add in the rest of the ingredients and form into balls and store in freezer.


Chocolate chip cookie Blizzard recipe
3 peeled and frozen bananas cut into 1 inch chunks for easier processing
splash of coconut milk or vanilla almond milk
3 tbsp cookie dough from above

Directions: In a food processor add in your 3 frozen bananas and 1/4 cup of vanilla almond milk or coconut milk.  Cut them in chunks for easier processing.    Add in cookie dough until it is mixed in with the bananas.  You should have a soft serve consistency when you are done.  Poor this mixture into a cup and top with cookie dough balls!  So good!  I used my blendtec and I don't think it worked as good because I couldn't get the blizzard to stay thick.  I need to get a food processor.
