Soup/PPK Brownies!

Things have been super busy at school lately! I don't know why. But I bet my Mom's been wanting me to post this, so I gotta! I was home on Sunday night and she made the her kidney bean soup again, this time with Gimme Lean sausage and rice! It was good, and my brother ate the "sausage" without knowing it haha.


Tonight I got down to the kitchen in a hurry to make brownies for snack time tomorrow! I got this recipe from the Post Punk Kitchen. I haven't tried them.. but 2 of my friends already did, and I only got positive feedback! It's kind of a strange recipe that involves heating up silken tofu, it's not too extra time consuming, and they come out with an interesting texture that is somehow both fudgy AND cake-like.. you should try it!

Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies

From Vive Le Vegan! I saw them on Vicki's blog, and I need a snack for band tomorrow anyway. These cookies are really awesome. Just don't forget to flatten them out! I did that on one tray and they didn't move at all.. so they were like little balls haha.


Thanks for everybody's well wishes about my wisdom teeth! I finally had solid food this week at school! It still hurts but uhh.. whatever. I made the mistake of trying to play in flute class the other day.. bad idea. I'm still having sax lessons, just not playing. I'm supposed to buy a book so I can do a little reading hehe. I can still march in marching band, just not play. Too bad.. we're doing "Thriller" for the Halloween parade this Thursday. I should be able to play in 2 or 3 weeks. Hope everyone else is doing welllll!

Halloweenies!

It's almost HALLOWEEN! This is my first attempt at icing cut-out cookies, they're just OK. And don't adjust your computer screens, the tombstone IS green.. I couldn't quite get gray. Maybe next time.


Unfortunately, that's all the time I can afford to spend baking today. Tomorrow it's back to school and I have some homework to catch up on. Grr.

Don't Kill Me!

Mom.. if you're reading this (and I know you are) don't kill me! I.. baked.. some more. I just made the Skinny Fig Bars from Susan's blog. Now I know they're supposed to be fat free, but I couldn't find any more applesauce so I used margarine *cower* They still look great! I also used apricots instead of dates just to switch it up a bit. I couldn't try them (due to the teeth) but I hope they're good. Thanks Susan!



Oh yeah guys, about the first thing. I have this joke with my mom because over spring break last year I came home and baked every single day and finally one day she came home from work and said "Tania? Stop... baking.." hahaha. And now I've been baking every day since I've been home with the teeth. But it's OK because I'm taking most of it back with me for saxophone snack time!
