What an exciting moment!

Hello Fellow bloggers!

Freshly picked lilacs just for you!

100 Blogs.....WOW!

I wanted to make something simple, yet wonderful all at the same time.

Would you like to see what I made you???

Banana Split Pancakes Anyone????

Banana Split Pancakes

~

Ingredients:

~

1 recipe of pancakes off of Heart Smart Bisquick box, using egg replacer for the egg

1 1/2 bananas, chopped

5-6 strawberries, hulled and sliced

1 cup mini vegan chocolate chips

1/2 cup chopped pecans

Make pancakes according to recipe.

Add fruit, chocolate chips, and nuts, mix well.

On a griddle over medium heat, pour about 1/2 cup of batter in a circular motion. Cook pancakes until bubbles start to form around edge, flip and continue until the pancake is cooked through, this will take a little longer than traditional pancakes due to the fruit ratio being so high.

Serve with margarine, real maple syrup or whipped cream... Delish!

I thought these pancakes were just wonderful! Super fruity and dense, you really do not need any syrup on them and the fruit is balanced just right for the batter! I hope you try these soon!

You can see all the fruit inside the pancake!!!!


Next coarse?

How about "Egg Salad Sandwiches with a Balsamic Cucumber, Tomato Salad?

My Favorite "Egg" Salad

Ingredients:

1 pkg. Extra firm Tofu, pressed and cubed

1/2 c. Vegenaise

1 full tbls. Country dijon mustard

1 tbls. capers

1 tsp. dried dill

Cracked black pepper

Red sea salt

Cube your tofu and place in a bowl. Add the mayo, dijon mustard, and capers. Mix well. Add the dill, salt and pepper. Chill. When ready to use, Lightly toast your bread, add a good helping of salad and top with alfalfa sprouts!

Normally I serve this on toasted dill rye bread, but when I saw these rye hoagie rolls, I had to try them! Topped with really fresh alfalfa sprouts, it was delicious!

Just a little tidbit, before going vegan, I never ate an egg salad sandwich...I hated them!


How about dessert????

Back in my catering days I would often host small dinner parties. Most clients would want a heavier dinner with a light refreshing dessert. I came up with a wonderful dip using 3 ingredients..

Brown Sugar, Sour cream Dip with Strawberries

I make my own brown sugar now...it is too simple not to make, and I can control the depth of flavors.

Finished brown sugar

Better than Sour Cream with addition of homemade brown sugar. Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg and whip.

This is a beautiful light cream sauce, that is tart and sweet at the same time! It would be a wonderful topping for peach pie.

I served this with Fresh Strawberries, but all fruit is delicious, especially pineapple.

I hope that you have enjoyed my 100th post as much as I have!!!
