dessertgeek Grilled Sea Bass Sandwich w/ Sriracha Mayo Jan 11, 2012 4:07 AM Last weekend I bought some fresh seafood from Fairway, a well-known grocery store in NYC. In my opinion, Fairway is one of the best places to buy seafood because their fish counter is nestled inside a walk-in refrigerated section of the store that ensures everything stays super fresh. The fish is always kept super cold [...] Continue reading →

absinthestare Mayan Waffles (vegan) Jul 17, 2008 10:25 PM I have always loved experimenting in the kitchen and I have been a dietetic (health reasons as opposed to moral/ethical) vegan for a little over a year now -- while my diet has expanded to encompass vegetarian choices at present because my budget is somewhat limited while on the job search (^-^) I do plan on following vegan guidelines again as soon as possible, but I figured I'd share the wisdom I've garnered over my year-long journey as the Big V. Today I've decided to share my own recipe for home-made, Mayan Waffles; chocolate with a little kick to get you going in the morning (but don't let me limit you -- some of my best dinners have circled around breakfast foods). The special equipment you'll need for this recipe is a handy waffle iron. If you can't find yours or don't have one available, feel free to turn waffle day into pancake day! Ingredients: 1 ripe banana 2 cups soy milk .5 cup oatmeal 1.5 cup flour 2 tsp baking powder .5 cup baking cocoa* .25 cup vegan chocolate, shaved cayenne pepper *for a richer, more intense depth of flavor, replace .25 cup baking cocoa with .25 cup vegan hot chocolate mix. A friend of mine living in Burlington, VT sent me "Aztec Spicy Hot Chocolate" mix from Lake Champlain Chocolates as a gift and it is still my favorite. Not only is it all-natural, but it has a little spice of its own which I think is delicious. Directions: Turn on your waffle iron/stove top and grease cooking surfaces of the iron or griddle. Mash your banana with a fork or your hands until most of its shape has left (leaving some texture only improves on the taste); Combine ingredients in a mixing bowl (leave some lumps -- if you over-mix it will toughen the waffles); pour enough batter of the iron to JUST cover the bottom reservoir (overfilling will result in spillage -- however, delicious spillage that is safe to eat as it will not contain raw egg) and close the iron; if cooking on the stove, I believe you know what to do from here out. When the iron light turns on, signalling completion, open iron away from face (steam safety) and remove the waffles; Immediately arrange on plate with shavings and cayenne pepper sprinkled over the top so as to melt; Serve. Suggestions: My personal favorite chocolate bar for this dish is Green & Black's "Mayan Gold" Chocolate (with orange and spices), found in most large grocery stores. It is Fair Trade Certified, vegan, and muy delicioso -- need I say more? If you're looking for a vegan version of the original or plain waffle, try my Blonde Waffle; substitute cocoa, chocolate and pepper for cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla. A nice treat with So Delicious' vanilla dairy-free ice cream or even go crazy and opt for some pure Maine maple syrup. xoxo Nico
ShedItandGetIt Spicy White Bean Chili Jun 28, 2008 1:26 PM I wanted to make white chili and so I spent the other night when I could not sleep Googling recipes, and found several different ones. None of them were quite what I wanted, so I really just used them to get an idea of the proportions for the spices, but I definitely made it my own. None were vegan or made with tofu, and many served 10-15, so I changed that about it as well. It's spicy and filling with lots of protein and fiber!
