Grilled Asian tofu. It was delicious.

A few weeks ago, I bought several packs of jerky from Louisville Vegan Jerky Co. Their jerky was probably the best I had ever tried. And one of the most expensive at $7 for a 2.5 oz serving. One thing I noticed was that their jerky looks like it was made with Butler (brand name) Soy Curls. This got me thinking. Maybe I could make it myself. So, I did. Buying the soy curls is so much cheaper than pre-made jerky.

Below is the super spicy BBQ flavored jerky I make from Butler Soy Curls. This isn't my first batch, but it is my best so far. To make it, I combined my wet ingredients in a container, coat the soy curls and let it sit overnight. You only need just enough sauce to coat them. Don't try to fully rehydrate them. Overnight soaking will make the moisture soak in all the way. Then I slowly dry them in the oven on parchment paper by only turning it on for about a minute every once in a while to keep a warm temperature. I'm not trying to cook it. When they dry up a bit and are chewy, they are ready. Some of the ingredients include water, BBQ sauce, olive oil, soy sauce, lots of cayenne pepper powder, onion and garlic powder. Here is the result:

Edit to add: by the way, my jerky is every bit as good as the professional version. Mmm...

That looks fabulous. Home made pizza is really the best !

I used my new mini loaf tins that I bought in the States.

They come out really nice and moist and the outsides slightly crispy. I'm going to store two of the loaves in the fridge for next weeks dinner and freeze the third one.

They are delicious served either warm or at room temperature and pair well with salsa, guacamole or a salad. Grainy mustard and a few black olives are also a few of my
favourites condiments when serving a slice or two.

This looks awesome - could you post the recipe??

The loaf is very tasty and you can also serve it either hot, cold and freeze it.

I promise to write the recipe when I have more time.

Today, I had a craving for sausage biscuits and hash browns. I have never made either one, but decided to give it a try. I looked up a recipe for biscuits and they tasted pretty good, but they did not come out looking fluffy and golden brown like the picture on the website. Anyways, everything is vegan. The sausage is Lifelight's Gimmie Lean (added cayenne). For the hash browns, I added onions, green peppers, cajun seasoning, paprika and a garlic pepper spice. Overall, everything tasted pretty good.

Yet another pizza... I wasn't planning to make pizza tonight, this one was on a whim. This time with "sausage", green peppers, onions, Daiya and home made dough and home made tomato sauce (with a lot of fresh garlic). The crust turned out fluffier than before, probably because it was more moist in rising than previous recent attempts. Everything is vegan, of course... I know you guys are probably tired of my pizza posts by now, but what can I say? I love pizza! This one is really good. Got a few pieces left over for breakfast.

That looks wonderful, sleepydvdr!

I never tire of your pizza pics! If you opened a pizza place, I would be your best customer.

My current favourite hot-weather treat. Blended ice and watermelon. Super refreshing and great for hydration

 

[GingerFoxx]

I love watermelon smoothies/juice. They are great with cucumber and berries added, or mint. And if you want a more adult treat, frozen watermelon and red wine slushie is good.
