...Over the Weekend...

...we had fresh hot from the oven vegan probiotic yogurt 2 ingredient biscuits for breakfast...so delicious...
...the vegan shopping got done...not much of note...
...but I do kinda think it's funny that they put an organic sticker on every single potato...and there were a few baby zucchini to be had...

...and the Man has been drinking mostly oat milk...it's his new favorite...I like it ok...but prefer almond milk...
...I actually cooked a lot of the food I bought...I cut up one of those huge potatoes to make some JoJo's...wikipedia lists JoJo's as an alternate name for potato wedges...which is of course what they are...

...when we lived in Balsam Grove...there was a little café that had JoJo's on the menu...just about the only vegan thing on the menu...so I often got them...
...the ones at the café were deep fried...but I prefer them baked...and you don't really need a recipe...it's pretty simple...you cut a potato into wedges...probably 8...or so...rinse them well and dry them...
...Julia would say...with a 'scrupulously clean towel'...
...sprinkle whatever seasonings you want...I used garlic powder, onion powder and smoked paprika...and bake until crispy on the outside and fluffy and well done on the inside...
...I cooked that huge tub of mushrooms...because I wanted to have some with spinach and also with the collards...
...I turned the 3 baby zucchini into a vegan casserole...
...and it all made for a delicious dinner...
...I made some croutons...
...so...so good...
...I used the sweet little bundt cake pan my sissie sent me from Ocrakoke to make a 1/2 of a Guinness Chocolate Bundt Cake...I adapted Foodtastic Mom's Recipe...

7/8 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar - we used bone char free vegan sugar...
3/8 cup dutch-process cocoa powder
1 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup full-fat buttermilk - we used vegan probiotic yogurt...
1/2 cup Guinness
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 large eggs - we used EnerG Egg replacer...
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

...it worked perfectly cut in half as well...

...not sure why I didn't take a picture of the actual cake...I also didn't take a picture of the clothes blowing in the wind on the clothesline like I intended...and it got too dark before I brought them in...

~Wishing you a lovely start to your week!

  1. I do love potato wedges and fried mushrooms though have never eaten them at the same time. I've tried both oat milk and almond milk though these days am back to cow's milk. Not sure why but I think I was craving the fat. I will likely go back to almond milk in summer. I haven't had a bundt cake for a very long time. I used to enjoy them more often. I bet yours was tasty.

    1. Hi Penny,

      I often make oat and almond milk both...but hubby prefers the storebought kind...I make vegan yogurt a lot with the oat milk...the homemade version is definitely the most inexpensive way to go...
      ~Have a lovely day!
