Copycat Cooking ep 6: Secret Beefless Finger Licking Stew

Edited on Picmonkey.com

Hello fellow blogger friends! 

I absolutely love this recipe, perfect for dinner time. It is super filling too! It took me a while to cook it (2 hours), but it was worth it. 

The recipe said to use meatless pieces, but since i could find any at the grocery store i just used fallafel balls instead. But if you are using fallafel too, add it once the stew is almost done, so it doesn't get mushy.

I also used yellow onions instead of white ones. I do not like to chop onions. And i have tried all of the tricks to stop my eyes from hurting. I've tried chewing gum, breathing through my mouth instead of my nose (works sometimes), but it always hurts! Maybe i should try those onion chopping glasses...

Also i didn't want to use wine, since i don't like alcohol so i just used water instead. I was going to use unsweetened grape juice but my grocery store didn't have any.

I LOVE the sauce, super yummy. I think it would work for pasta too.

This recipe is perfect with rice too!

Thanks for reading!

Copycat cooking ep 5: Kale & Quinoa Salad with Dates, Almonds & Citrus Dressing

Edited on PicMonkey.com


 

Hello fellow blogger friends!

Salads have never been my favorite, but after trying this recipe...I LOVE SALAD!
haha..
The dates give it the perfect sweetness, and the nuts give it the perfect crunch.
Sadly my grocery store didn't have any kale, so i used parsley instead. I love parsley. And it tasted so good.
My mom is allergic to raw almonds and some cooked ones, so i decided to use cashews instead. Cashews are the best nuts, i think.

I was so scarred making this salad though, because it was my first time making quinoa, but it was really easy to make, to my surprise.

Oh, before i forget, i got a tip for you guys for chopping onions. Open a window close to you, and only breath through your mouth. This will prevent or lessen the pain, and no tears!

I really did enjoy making the salad, it felt like painting, since there was so many steps. haha..I'm strange, i know.

The dessing was amazing too!

Copycat cooking ep 4: Vegan Chocolate Custard

Edited on PicMonkey.com

 

Hello fellow blogger friends!

 

mm...Chocolate.

I just love chocolate. And since i went vegan in 2011 i haven't had chocolate pudding/custard, and i started to miss it. I used to love to pour whip cream all over the pudding.

 

Finally i saw a lovely recipe on Veggieful.com and i didn't think this would work out...But i was wrong!

 

It tastes amazing. I think i would even triple the recipe next time that i'll make it.

It's super creamy, and tastes even better when it's cold.

 

The consistancy didn't turn out as good as Madioson's chocolate custard, though. Mine was a bit more on the liquidy side. Maybe it was because i used rice milk instead of soy milk. But it didn't matter, since it tasted so good.

 

Mom approved this recipe too. She was really shocked. She didn't think it would work. haha

Copycat cooking ep 3: Hot and Sweet Sesame Tofu

Edited on PicMonkey.com

Hello fellow blogger friends!

I am so excited to post this recipe, because this is probably the best recipe i have ever tried in my entire life!

Tofu has never really been my favorite and i haven't eaten it in a year or so, so i thought i should try it again.

I really thought this would be my first fail CopyCat Cooking recipe, but man was i wrong!

It took my about 1 hour and 30 minutes to make this recipe. I should of doubled the recipe though, because it only served barely 3 people.

So while the tofu was cooking i decided to take some notes on what i changed in the recipe. Here's my notes...

¤ A good tip is instead of mixing the cornstarch with the tofu in a bowl, like it says on the recipe, place some cornstarch on a plate and take one tofu cube at the time and roll it in the cornstarch. This will prevent the tofu breaking apart.

¤ I used maple syrup instead on honey, to make it vegan. =)

¤ I used extra virgin olive oil instead of sesame oil, since it's cheaper.

My mother absolutely loves this recipe. She said it tastes like pork, and that she loves the crunch. The sauce

is also her favorite, she says it tastes like Filipino food.

This dish is perfect for dinner time, and it tastes amazing and savory.

Try it out!

Copycat cooking ep 2: Vegan Nacho “Cheese”

Edited on Picmonkey.com

Hello fellow blogger friends!

I'm back with another CopyCat Cooking recipe! This recipe is literally amazing!

So happy i found this recipe on Pinterest. When i read the ingredients on Veganyummines.com i was thinking, how will this even work?! Potatoes, carrots and nutritional yeast is basically all that you need.

I didn't even think this recipe would be good. 

While i was cooking,  i started to smell the cheesy smell from the nutritional yeast, and i got a bit more

confidence for this recipe. I even decided to double the recipe, since it didn't look like a lot.

When i was done, i was shocked on how easy this was to make. And i thought, if this tastes good, then this is the best recipe ever. And OH MY GOD it tasted AMAZING! Just like cheese, it even tasted like chicken a little bit. 

Easy and yummy...I love it.

My mom gives this recipe 5 stars, haha...

This recipe is perfect as a dip. I even added it on top of my pasta. You could also use this
on pizza, lasagna and mac & Cheese.

Definitely recommend you guys to try this.

Thanks for reading!

Copycat cooking ep 1: Vegan Cabbage Rolls

Edited on Picmonkey.com

Hello fellow blogger friends!

Long time no see... Sorry about that. Been super busy with work and i have been trying to dedicate all of my free time to making my Youtube videos. But recently i've missed writing on this blog. So i decided to try to figure out how i can add blogging to my schedule.
While i was cooking the other i day i thought, why not post a short blog post about once a week showing you guys 1 cooking experiment.

Once a week i cook a special recipe from Pinterest to my lovely mom. Since she usually is the one cooking,
thought it was time to me to help out in the kitchen a bit more. So once a week i search on Pinterest for yummy vegan meals.

This series ( Copycat cooking ) is going to be about me trying out some recipes from Pinterest and showing the results to you guys. And i promise i will probably fail...a lot! Because i'm not the best chef...haha..
But that will be fun, to show you guys the good and bad results.

I hope you enjoy!

So this recipe i got from FatFreeVegan .  When i saw the recipe i knew it would probably be a bit hard for me to make, since it requires me to actually cook with boiling water ( kind of hate boiling water, since i always burn myself, which i did making this recipe). But i wanted to see if i could make it.
And i have to tell you this recipe does take some time, it took me about 3-4 hours to make. Because you have to soften the cabbage wraps individually.

Once i was done i gave a roll to my mom first. She didn't like it that much. She said she liked the taste, but that the cabbage was a bit to hard for her to chew. So if you guys will make this recipe remember to take your time boiling the cabbage until it gets really soft.
But i really did like the taste of the tomato sauce! But probably not making this recipe again, since it took a lot of time...

I hope you enjoyed and check out FatFreeVegan !

My daily routine

Hello fellow blogger friends!

I love to watch/read about peoples everyday routine. It really fascinates me,haha..
So I thought it would be fun to share my everyday routine, especially since it's a bit
different because i have a little bunny now.

8.45am - Wake Up
The first thing i do in the morning is i brush my teeth, then i open my advent calendar ( If it's December).
After that i make my bed, and let Pinky out of his cage. I then give him fresh water & veggies. But
before he get's his veggies i have to syringe feed him water, since he doesn't drink enough. If it's Tuesday
this is usually the time i leave to go and volunteer at the animal shelter!

9.45am - Eat breakfast
Then it's time to eat breakfast.Today we ate potatoes, veggie balls and veggies. We also usually watch
a tv show while we eat. These couple of weeks we have been watching "Psych" ( currently
watching season 7 ).

10.45am - Youtube/check mail
I usually spend about 30 minutes checking mail/comments, and check my subscription box. I then proceed
to check loldamn.com for new content. I love that site. Then i look at my list on my computer to check
what i should upload next. I just checked it and next on the list is for me to write this blog post!

12.30pm - Do chores
Around this time, if we aren't going out grocery shopping or doing anything else outside, i do my chores.
Usually this consists of folding our clothes, wash the dishes or anything else mom needs help with.
This is also the time Pinky get's his second syringe feed (water) of the day. Depending on the day i 
usually film videos during lunch time, since the light outside is the brightest during this time. If i'm not
filming i'm editing. And all day i go to Pinky and cuddle with him!

12.30pm - 11pm - edit videos/shop/chores
In between these hours i just do random things. Today we are going out to buy candy to eat while we
watch "Catching fire". Then around 11pm we go to bed, and so does Pinky!

Thanks for reading everyone!
Happy holiday!

And everyone in Denmark, stay safe from #bodil the storm!
