Anyhoo, I am very, very late in posting the July Daring Baker's Challenge. Better late than never? I hope they don't kick me out for posting it so late!
The July Daring Bakers' challenge was hosted by Nicole at Sweet Tooth. She chose Chocolate Covered Marshmallow Cookies and Milan Cookies from pastry chef Gale Gand of the Food Network.
I can't even remember the last time I had marshmallow anything, so I was very excited about this challenge. These chocolate treats remind me of Viva Puffs with the little strawberry jam suprise in the middle that I used to eat when I was a little girl.
I bought vegan marshmallows called Dandies from Vegan Essentials for this recipe. I subbed flax meal for the eggs in the yummy lemony Milan cookies and I have to say, this was a fun recipe to make and I really like these mallow cookies. They are a heavy and hearty cookie and one is definitely enough to satisfy any sweet tooth cravings.
Here's one cut in half so you can see all the layers. YUM!!!!
When I ordered the Dandies from Vegan Essentials, I also ordered a book called "Benji Beansprout Doesn't Eat Meat" It's about a little boy named Benji who gets teased by kids at school because he's a vegetarian. I thought it would be a cute book to read to my little vegan Gordita at bedtime. She is really picking up words quickly now, and just today I taught her how to say "tofu" while we were at the grocery store. Here she is chomping on some watermelon during a visit with her great-grandparents:
And now for some random food porn: Kashi Go Lean cereal with vanilla almond milk and chopped apple:
Brown rice elbow pasta with avocado, tomato and cilantro, in a light tossing of nutritional yeast and unsweetened organic soy milk
More brown rice pasta - this time shells with peas and a crumbled veggie patty. Leftovers make a great lunch the next day which is what you see here:
And now I'm off to bed. It's going to be a busy weekend around here, so stay tuned for more vegan delights :)
