Not sure, but you could always just save the picture in your pictures and repost. Maybe attach a text post?

Alot of diets say that cravings are temporary. I’d like to encourage everyone to listen to your cravings closely, your body might be trying to communicate your deficiencies. Today I really craved vegetables while preparing a different meal, and I opted for the veggies instead. I had a hunch that if my body didn’t need them, it wouldn’t be telling me to go ahead.

Cooking for Omnivores- Pork Chops and Roasted Vegetables

We all know being vegan doesn’t necessarily mean those around you will be as enthusiastic or that you will enjoy cooking any less. Today I cooked for three omnivores and myself, using another one of my made up recipes.

When cooking meat for others I want it to taste good, even if I don’t necessarily partake in the consumption. Here’s what I did to make these pork chops stand out from the rest:

Prepare a brine of the juice of two freshly squeezed oranges (I used a juicer), one half cup of brown sugar or pure maple syrup (for all you health conscious omnivores), 1 TBL dried time, 2 TBL garlic salt, and fresh cracked pepper corns. Add water to fill 3/4 contents of mixing bowl. Add thawed pork chops and refrigerate for no more than two hours, so the chops do not become too mushy.
Remove from brine. Grate some orange zest over the chops. Brown pork chops in a pan with a dash of olive oil for three minutes per side. Place in 350 degree oven for a half our before serving.

For the Roasted Vegetables

Cut carrots into halves length wise and cut in half once width wise. Slice Potatoes and onions. Repeat until there is well over enough to coat contents of a large roasting pan *may vary depending on how many guests
Drizzle vegetables with olive oil. Season with thyme, rosemary, garlic salt, and pepper. Add vegetable stock to coat contents of pan.
IMPORTANT- cover roasting pan with foil. This helps seal in the heat and cook vegetables until tender.
Bake at 350 for one hour.

Frozen Chocolate Banana “Pudding”

2 frozen bananas
1/2 cup soy milk
2 TBL cocoa powder
2 TBL peanut butter
1/2 cup Greek yogurt (optional)

Blend ingredients until smooth, dish out into about three small dishes. Place in freezer for about two hours or so, or until desired. Yields 3 servings.

These cookies are perfect for any dessert lover OR health nut. For all those skeptics, no one would even know they were vegan. I cannot believe the dough blends so well with only one TBL of almond milk or soy milk. Add some dark chocolate pieces if desired, or different dried fruits for a new flavor.

Vegan Oatmeal Cookies

1 & 3/4 cups walnuts, toasted
2 cups regular oats, divided
3/4 cup white Kamut flour (other flours probably work!)
1/2 cup Sucanat (or brown sugar)
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
2 tbsp almond milk or soy milk
3.5 tbsp coconut oil
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
2/3 cup raisins

Preheat oven to 350 and toast walnuts. In the mean time, mix together dry ingredients and wet ingredients separately. *Tip- I popped the wet ingredients in the microwave for about 45 minutes before stirring, so the coconut oil is more apt to mix with the rest.* Now, combine the wet and dry ingredients, stirring occasionally. Next, I placed the dough into a mixer and added raisins and the chopped toasted walnuts. Spoon into roughly ping-pong sized portions and bake for no more than ten minutes at 350.

Dearest Liz Tea, thanks so much for the recommendations! I gladly followed both your blog and the tea bag, which are both, if I might add, fantastic blogs.

I awoke this morning only to discover two good handfuls of new followers! It's a nice way to start off the morning; waking earlier than usual on a Saturday is surprisingly peaceful. I'll be venturing to the kitchen...what are some of your favorite Saturday morning breakfasts?

P.S. Also thought my cats loved me extra much by visiting me this morning, but their food bowl was empty and I think they were just hungry (^_^;) .
