Tortured Tuesday! d’s Vegan Burgers

August 10, 2010

I attempted making my own Veggie Burgers!  They turned out…okay.  I think I had the pan too hot when I initially put them in, so they turned out a little darker than I would have liked.  All in all…I’ll try them again.
I completely made up the recipe, so it was truly an experiment.  (None of [...]

Tortured Tuesday! Almost vegan chocolate chip cookies

July 7, 2010

Mmmm…cookies!
Chocolate Chip Cookies from Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar.  I say they’re almost vegan because I used regular chocolate chips instead of vegan ones.  It’s all I had!  I never claimed to be completely vegan…so sue me.  lol  They’re my son and husband’s favorite and they were not disappointed.
I didn’t exactly follow the directions, [...]
