Apple Zucchini Buckwheat Pancakes

My mother grew up during the Great Depression and war. There was rationing on flour and many other things. Her family used a lot of buckwheat as a replacement for the flour. My mother wasnt overly fond of buckwheat and disliked it even more due to the frequency. When she was older and had her family there was nothing ever made with buckwheat. So when I was at my cousins house and had buckwheat pancakes with blueberries I was intrigued. Also, some of my favorite noodles, the Japanese ones are also made with buckwheat.

I found this recipe in a book called, The Easy Vegan Cookbook, written by Kathy Hester. I had to try it. I did adapt it a little and added some sugar. I know, I know, I shouldn't have but I knew my girls would not eat the pancakes without a little sugar.

Gobi Manchurian

This Gobi Manchurian is the bomb. Its sweet and spicy. I really enjoyed this over rice. You can totally deep fry your cauliflower but I preferred it baked without the oil. You really wont miss the oil once it is bathed in this crazy good sauce.

Quinoa Taco Meat

This quinoa mix is da bomb! Sincerely. It is a great impostor for meat. It wears its coat of flavorings like meat, it nearly has the texture of meat, it has the color of meat. Will it taste like beef, no. But it will satisfy you. This is a definite make again at our house. In fact, I have already made it twice. It cooks up fast and easy.

Matter of fact I cooked up some green beans from the Farmers market yesterday... Green Bean and Tofu Curry I had a lot of fun creating this recipe. I had some of my fire roasted salsa in the fridge.
