Hi chocolate… hmmm, what haven’t I called y’all yet?
Raisins? Cookies? Pretzels?
Its’ been a while since my last “currently” post, so I thought I’d do another one to highlight a few of the things I’ve been loving lately. Starting with… *gasp* not dessert?!
Giant veggie bowls doused in crack Ranch Sauce.
Roasted cauliflower, steamed broccoli, zucchini, pasta, bulgur… I am covering everything I can in my homemade ranch dressing. Truth: I think I’d eat my shoe if you covered it with this sauce.
Something else I love? Ezekiel. Even more than the bread, I love the English muffins.
P.S. Did you know they’re now making Ezekiel Waffles?
Has anyone seen them yet? I haven’t!
And then I love/ want to marry my Raw Chocolate Fudge Cake.
I’m currently in love with Alicia Silverstone’s Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups. I’ve made two batches so far and we can’t stop eating them! Nobody even knows they’re a vegetarian treat. I’m tempted to try them next time with coconut butter instead of the Earth Balance to see how that works. Thanks for introducing me to that tasty ingredient!
Currently loved foods, you ask?
Your ranch dressing has been making many an appearance at dinner lately. I’ve been tweaking it a bit by adding tomato paste for a touch of umami. Also I like the pink color.
I’ve also been playing with adding veggies to my baked goods. I made “carrot cake” boatmeal the other day. I took a picture. I’ll put it up for ya if you want =D
Also I’ve been making fudgy pudding/mousse with your tofu mousse technique. I tend to make it super chocolate-y by adding two tablespoons of cocoa and two melted squares of dark chocolate.
Oh, question. I don’t know if you’ve tried making the zucchini muffins, but I’ve been running into an issue where it just won’t bake properly in my little oven. It comes out puddingy and wet. Do you think adding less liquid would help? I’d make it in muffin tins, but the dang oven ain’t big enough for the muffin tray. I wonder if dividing the recipe between two smaller cake pans would help it bake properly…..
Oh and I vote for ice cream!
Oh my gosh, yes I wanna see!!!
And I love your tomato sauce idea… I’m going to try it tomorrow! 🙂
I actually haven’t made the zucchini muffins… maybe you could cut the recipe in 1/2 to yield less batter and try one cake pan? That way, if it doesn’t work at least you’re only wasting 1/2 the ingredients!

There be pics of both carrot cake boatmeal and the zucchini cake I ended up with. It tasted delish no matter how well (or not) it baked =D
I can’t get enough raw veggie salads with sundered tomatoes and fig vinegar right now. The farmers market just opened in our local shopping centre parking lot and I feel like I’m picking from my own garden it’s so good. Brownies please!
loving ww tortillas called Tortilla Land. They are amazing and not cooked yet so you make em fresh at home.
Lovin all the fresh fruits and veggies coming our way for summer, and o’ blondies!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Ezekiel! I too am obsessed with the cinnamon raisin english muffins! I usually eat the with either a smear of Earth Balance, peanut butter, coconut oil, or a mashed banana! I think you just rocked my world upside down: Ezekiel Waffles?!?!?!?! New mission in life = find Ezekiel waffles 🙂
I will put up a light in the sky (like Batman?) when I find it so all can enjoy!
LOL! Yes, when you find them, please send me some? They have cinnamon raisin ones! Want!
ummm so I’ve totally spent the last 20 minutes trolling the internet for alleged Ezekiel waffles (don’t judge me) 🙂
Verdict: There appears to be milled Ezekiel flour that can be used to make waffles, but no pre-made waffles have yet turned up in my search!
Did you click on my link? I have a photo on that page. It seems they come in cinnamon-raisin, blueberry, original, and another flavor I can’t make out.
I hadn’t clicked on the link! I feel like I just saw Big Foot! Okay. It’s on like donkey kong. I will, nay, I must find these! When I do, a box is coming your way!
I want to see the brownie bites!!
I have been loving graham crackers, hummus, and pickles! Not all together though! Well, that’s a lie. Hummus and pickles are really good together. I don’t think I’ll ever try either with graham crackers though..
I always have dried fruit and nut butters around and i too love ezekiel bread.
Ice cream!!!
Right now I love beans! Black beans, lentils, chickpeas (I’ve got to make those blondies!), and cannelini. Yummm. Also cauliflower…but I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t in love with cauliflower, so there you are.
I’m currently loving my new baked lentil chips!!
That looks like one fantastic cake! Mmmm need to try it. 🙂
And that ranch…oh wow… I need to make notes here. 😉
I’ve currently been on a mexican-fusion kick. Today I ate homemade pizzas on whole wheat tortillas and a few days ago I made mexican/ spanish rice (a tomato rice).
And garbanzo beans are my dear obsession. I love them plain, mashed, made into hummus, made into humnut cheeze (see http://ohhmay.com/2010/01/07/pizza-pizza/), and so much more.
I’ve also just gotten a popsicle maker so I’ve been playing around with flavor combos (nectarine banana is lovely but I want to try adding some spinach next time for a green monster pop).
And as for you & your future post, well, I say brownie for sure 😉
