Tortured Tuesday! Baked Potato

May 3, 2011

For those of you who are new to my site…I call Tuesday’s posts “Tortured Tuesday” because I don’t eat meat/dairy and my husband and son do.

I [...]

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.

Tortured Tuesday! Almost vegan chocolate chip cookies

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, [...]
