Have You Been Vegan TOO Long?

This evening after I picked up my new phone (Galaxy S2, love it!), I looked at some of my messages on facebook. I had a new message from my cousin! Opening up the inbox, there was a link saying: CLICK NOW LANEY! Startled, I did. I had a lot of laughs this evening, and a lot of "Oh wow... I do all of these!!" moments. Click this link for a laugh or two - maybe all of us are TOO vegan! ;)

Saucy Bow-Ties

I have had olive oil for the past bajillion years, and so it was time to switch it up! Why not make a pasta with sauce instead of olive oil? And that's exactly what I did.
Ingredients: 

• Any type of red sauce that you would put on pasta
• Tofu
• Mushrooms
• Garlic
• Onions
• Bow Tie Pasta
• Olive oil

First of all, put down a pot of water to cook the noodles in. After that pot is out, take out a frying pan and put it on a different stove panel. Put that on simmer.

While that heats up, take out mushrooms, garlic, onions,tofu and olive oil. I bought pre-cut mushrooms, but whatever you want to do is fine. Cut the onions up - not too big and not too small. Cut the garlic as little or as big as you want, same goes with the tofu! Put the tofu, mushrooms, onions and garlic all into the frying pan on the stove. 

Cover the tofu, mushrooms, garlic and onions all in olive oil and saute them for as long until the onions turn a bit golden around the sides. Put the heat around high.

Put the pasta in the boiling pot of water, and cook for about 5-7 minutes.

Keep an eye on the things you're sauteing, and make sure you stir the bow ties so they don't stick together and come into a clump of bow tie disaster! 

Once the sauteed goodness is done, set the heat on simmer. 

Take the pasta out, and drain it. Set that aside.

Heat up the sauce in a different pot, and cover with a lid. Heat that for about 6 minutes, on high heat. It will be ready when it starts steaming and bubbling

Once that is done, put everything in the sauce, mix, and serve with hot pads!

Hope this fulfills your taste buds!

Chocolate Mousse

I love my older sister! One day she was in town, and we decided to cook something together. We went to whole foods, and she asked me if I had ever tried vegan cake. Thinking it would be horrible, I got it just for her amusement. It looked pretty good, I'm not going to lie. 

I got home, and after dinner I grabbed a fork and stuck it into the moist, beautiful cake. I took a bite and fell in LOVE! Some of the best vegan cake EVER. There was also carrot cake, and we bought that too! Both were just so good. I recommend this sweet treat for any person with a huge sweet tooth!
