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.

Mushroom Bolognese

Being without meat doesn't mean you have to give up flavors you enjoy. The flavors can be carried over to non meat items, like mushrooms or tofu or jack fruit. At first it may seem ridiculous but once you replace the meats with substitutes you can enjoy those dishes still. Mushroom Bolognese If you are allergic to nuts, simply skip no need to replace it with something. It's amazing without the nuts as well. 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 large onion, finely chopped 2 large garlic cloves, finely chopped 8 cups mushrooms, mixed ie. Baby Bella and Shitake 3/4 cup walnuts, finely chopped, and toasted 2 cups tomatoes, Roma's or the Cherry tomatoes, roughly chopped 1 quart chopped tomatoes 1 cup red wine (not dry) or grape juice 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar 1 tablespoon tomato paste 1 tablespoon dried oregano 1 tablespoon dried basil 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1 teaspoon paprika powder 1 bay leaf 1/4 teaspoon dried chili flakes se...
