The oatmeal scotchies cookies recipe from the butterscotch chips bag were my most favorite cookies! The chips were disgusting on their own, but in the cookies were delicious! I have a bottle of rum extract, maybe play with that
Now I'm wanting to buy cocoa butter 
I just bought another bag of sprouted oats at Costco so I need to start using them more than just breakfast
.
I'll add a drop of rum extract to cookies thinking maybe that might be butterscotchy? Or brown the butter? Does plant based butter brown? I have Country Crock sticks

I made tempeh bacon using the Minimalist Baker's recipe. It was pretty tasty, but I want more kick/salt or something, so I will tweak the spices. The flavor was very good, though. It was great on the mung bean just egg sandwich. I'm going to use it for salads and for a vegan BLT.
I think the other tweak I might do is to cook it longer, as it didn't crisp up. The slices were probably too thick as well, but tempeh is sometimes crumbly, so I didn't want to try to slice it super thin. I made them about 1/4 to 1/3 of an inch thick. The recipe calls for baking at 400 F for 20 minutes, flipping after 10 minutes and brushing the pieces with the leftover marinade. I might try 30 minutes next time to see if that makes a difference. All that said, I will make it again because it was very tasty. Also, I marinated the pieces for 30 minutes, rather than the 10-15 minutes called for in the recipe.

I made tempeh for my very favorite sandwich--the Reuben!
I just use 3 caps liquid smoke, a tsp brown sugar, poultry seasoning, dash cayenne, 3 caps vegan worchestire, and 3 packets soy sauce to the slices and half cover with water and let sit a few hours. I brown in a little oil on both sides then add marinade, about 3-4 min each side till absorbed
I never felt it the right texture for bacon. Actually the only bac'n I've liked is the imitation pieces

And I made another cheese with soy yogurt and cashews. Different every time, but never disappoints!
I do like it better if cultured a couple days, which I didn't do this time, so it's really mellow, but super creamy

Yesterday I made chickpea salad and buffalo soy curls. I might bake something today, but I'm not sure what.
LOL, I do make some hot pasta dishes, like American chop suey, or spaghetti with garlic and olive oil, but I confess to liking a lot of cold or room-temp pasta dishes, like pasta salads, pesto pasta and spicy peanut noodles. The last two I have eaten both hot and cold.Pasta? I never see you making a hot pasta dish!

I do remember the pasta salads and occasionally the pesto pasta. It's only because all of your meals sound nice and I remember them.
I also don't know what to make tonight; curry, pasta or something else?
Just put a chocolate cake in the oven. I made this one--which is really the same as absurdly easy, just an 8x8 pan-

I decided to try with 'cake flour' - sifted the flour with 2 Tbls corn starch. I've never seen that called for in vegan recipes, but I'll let you know if I see a difference. I also used half brown sugar
Naturally I goofed up--I lined the pan with parchment but I poured the batter in and it went in the pan
. I was even thinking of omitting it because it;s a non stick pan anyway. Oh well, I wasted parchment for nothing
King Arthur's Original Cake Pan Cake
A dark, moist chocolate cake, simple to put together.

I was also looking into buying wheat berries and a mill--that looks more expensive too!
I've had such sweet cravings-this pudding certainly should cure them! It takes babysitting, but so worth it!

I used 1/3 cup for the 6 Tbls. Hate when they make things more difficult ----and a stainless steel pan, no need for non stick
Homemade Caramel Pudding
“I can’t do it anymore!” I complained to my wife last week. After spending the last two months avoiding all desserts, my New Year’s Resolution, I finally fell off the wagon. I didn’t just want something sweet and delicious, I needed something sweet and delicious. Instead of buying a bunch of...

Thank you, shyvas, as do your meals. I feel like you could open a vegan restaurant. I would be your best customer. I'm going to make a few things today: apple pie with filling from the freezer, seitan sausages, oatmeal energy bites and soy curls chik'n salad.

I think that we'd gobble everything up.
Bwahahahaha, we would. Lots of testing for "quality control."I think that we'd gobble everything up.
I want in on that please!Bwahahahaha, we would. Lots of testing for "quality control."
OK, so I did three out of four.

I just finished the last batch of seitan sausages. I made a dozen. I didn't make the soy curls salad, but I may do that tomorrow. I was delayed after I discovered that i had no fennel seeds for the sausages, so I had to make a quick trip to the store.- Status
