Oatmeal Fruit Bars

Oatmeal Fruit Bars

For this podcast on Tea DeMystified, I baked Oatmeal Fruit Bars. This is a very flexible (read as forgiving) recipe for substitutions. Sometimes I use up leftover cereals in place of the whole wheat flour. Use what you have on hand to keep the volume and liquid amount the same. Substitute juices or different berries.  Ingredients>>

Very Veggie Nachos

Very Veggie Nachos

In this podcast my Sister and I take a few liberties with Very Veggie Nachos. That’s what this recipe is mostly about – assembly. She likes to serve the chips on the top and use it like a dip. I put the chips on the bottom for the traditional scooping method. Both are tasty and good for you!

Chocolate Puddin’ Pie

Chocolate Puddin’ Pie

This recipe has a thousand variations and is found on many vegan websites. I named this version like I did, mostly to get family members to try it. (Say it with a real southern accent, y’all!) Once they taste it they will love it so much they won’t need to know it’s good for them. It’s in the audio podcast “What Your Mama Doesn’t Know About Tofu” and in our Recipe section, too.
