I hope to show more and more folks that vegan eating is easy, fun, AND delicious!! So, thank you for your input and kind words. Now, those pecan bars look incredible!! I'd love to have my hand at them, but I am chock full of to-do's right now, and for the next 3 or 4 weeks. It's just a very busy time for my family. But, you've definitely intrigued me so I'm going to put the recipe in my print-off pile to evaluate some more. :)<BR/><BR/>Hi Alice! Yayyyy!! So fun to hear you've been cracking open ed&bv and enjoying it. You are lovely to cook up some treats for your parents as well. As for the spelt flour vs. white flour... yes, there is definitely a differene, and for that recipe, I'd use just about 3/4 cup + 1/2 - 1 tbsp of white flour to sub for the spelt. I have a 'wheat-free' post planned, and I really should get to it soon b/c I think many of my readers would find it helpful (tho there are some notes about w/f baking in ed&bv, see p.173) I love your instinct of making cinnamon pancakes with the celestial cream - that *does* sound like a breakfast cinnamon roll - yummy! Thanks for all the feedback, and I hope you continue to enjoy the recipes.Dreenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16551890320761504899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19150019.post-40617121806311138502008-04-15T22:44:00.000-07:002008-04-15T22:44:00.000-07:00I love how tomatoes just explode with flavor when ...I love how tomatoes just explode with flavor when you roast them. <BR/>I've never been a huge angel cake fan either, not sure about the "clean teeth" feeling though ;) lol <BR/><BR/>Teddyfunwithyourfoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09401140990054900570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19150019.post-65204691991290551512008-04-15T08:49:00.000-07:002008-04-15T08:49:00.000-07:00Those tomatoes looks fabulous!! and vegan angel f...Those tomatoes looks fabulous!! and vegan angel food cake?!!

I started out making the breakfast crepes with bananas and celestial cream, however I didn't have spelt flour so I used regular flour (I wasn't sure how to adjust the measurements so I used the 1 cup the recipe called for). It seemed a little thick so I added more soy milk, however when I tried my hand in flipping the crepes, they turned out awful. I couldn't come up with 1 good one. They tasted nice though! So, instead, I made cinnamon pancakes, and the celestial cream turned out great! It tasted like a yummy cinnamon roll, and it was heavenly just like the name suggests (immediately after breakfast I went to Whole Foods and got some spelt flour :-)<BR/>Then, tonight I made your Homestyle Chocolate Chip Cookies from Vive and they were also very awesome. While I was waiting for my first batch to bake, I stood in the kitchen eating the cookie dough. Once they were done, I took your advice and made an ice cream sandwich. It was so good! You are awesome!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19150019.post-53085338940355110052008-04-12T07:16:00.000-07:002008-04-12T07:16:00.000-07:00Dreena: I'm an ENORMOUS fan of yours...

Although I would L.O.V.E. to embark on that lifestyle, my family would not. It's so complicated but anyways, I wanted to ask you and anyone else reading this a couple of questions regarding a recipe for Passover Pecan Bars! The recipe is from Cooking Light Magazine and it's fabulous, but I need to cut down on the sugar quite a bit for the health-conscious eaters in my family! However, It's so important for me to have these bars be the best that they can be, both flavor-wise and texture! I posted more details on my blog and if anyone would be willing to check it out, I would REALLY appreciate your time! Thanks so much and I hope everyone has a wonderful saturday!<BR/><BR/>(OH...and I tried making the ChocoChip Cookies, and for some reason, they turned out like Scones!!
