Sunday morning breffy. Vegan Crepes!




MMM yes! Vegan crepes. Delicious and the perfect weekend breakfast. Not only are they quick and easy to make, but they look extremely fancy and will make you the king and/or queen of the household. Behold!

Vegan Crepes

1 C whole wheat pastry flour
2 TBS ground flax seeds
2 TBS sugar
1 tsp baking powder
dash of salt
2 TBS canola oil
1.5 C soymilk

In a bowl, combine the flour, flax, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix to combine. Then, add the oil and soymilk. Use a whisk, or fork to thoroughly combine, getting out as many lumps as possible. I HIGHLY recommend using a nonstick pan for this and putting it over med-high heat. After pan is hot and batter has set for several minutes. Scoop about 1/4 C of batter into the center of the pan and use the handle to swirl the batter out into a wide, thin circle. Put back on burner until any wet spots are gone and flip by peeling up an edge with your fingers (be careful!) or use a fork to help. Cook opposite side for about 30 seconds and remove from pan, placing on a towel-lined plate. This will help suck up any moisture that may accumulate. Allow to sit for at least 2 minutes before attempting to fill, this will prevent rippage.

Filling

3 TBS Vegan Cream Cheese
3 TBS soymilk
2 TBS sliced almonds
2 TBS dried clack currants
1 TBS sugar

Mix above ingredients in a small bowl until smooth. Alternately, you may use jam, fresh fruit, or any other delicious filling you can dream of. Put a 1 TBS dollop into the middle of the cooled crepe and turn in each of the four sides and then roll up!

This recipe seems rather complicated, but in fact, is quite simple. I encourage you to try it. Drizzle with a little agave nectar and powdered sugar and then suddenly you've become a French pastry chef!! I will most likely put up a video of this shortly on my youtube page to show you the cooking process.

Also- my new spicy chili and cornbread recipes will be up shortly, so be sure and subscribe so you don't miss a beat! Don't forget to checkout my podcast on the sidebar! New episode out today!!!!

    Those look great Ed...

    I'll have to try this version - looks like your batter proportions will work better than what I came up with on my own,

    I just made your vegan crepes this morning and I have to say that they were so good. And they were also really easy to make. I've tried other recipes, but they all pretty much sucked. Next time I make these, I will post them on my blog. Thanks for the recipe.

    Ed - by far the best crepe recipe I've ever tried. Great flavor and texture, and pretty easy to make too. Grechen (my fiancee) loved them as well.
    Only problem I had was the heat - I had to do mine closer to medium than medium-high, as you suggested, to keep from burning the crepes. I have one of those ceramic electric tops, maybe it just heats too much. Otherwise, perfect recipe that I'll use over and over again!

    Thanks,
    Leo

Raw Food Homophobes

While a raw food diet truly makes no sense for an ethical vegan , there’s another unethical consideration that should be taken into account. There’s a lot of evidence that many males in the raw foods movement are flat out homophobic. Not only homophobic, but also ignorant and disgusting bigots. Take the Raw Brahs for example, who recently made an extremely homophobic video featuring the self-proclaimed “ Life Regenerator .” The video features them taking a shower together and making homophobic statements and gestures to each other. The Raw Brahs are, to their own admission, “ solar powered Christian raw food radically honest nomadic elitist minimalist brothers .” In a book entitled, The Raw Controversies , page 118 cites that, “According to David [Wolfe] , Durian was a gay guy that went raw, and then 'left the dark side' and decided to go for women. David and Stephen [Arlin] were convinced that homosexuality could be 'cured' by the raw food diet. More speci

Giveaway! Peta's Vegan College Cookbook

Since I have been slacking on the frequency of my posts, as I am extremely busy and will continue to be for the next two weeks, I figured this would be a great time to make it up to all of you and give something away. In fact, I will give TWO things away!! Yes, I have in my hands two copies of PETA's Vegan College Cookbook and I must tell you that it's quite amazing. No, I'm not just saying that because I got a free copy ;) As most of you know, I'm pretty anti-cookbook because I feel most recipes are way too complicated and expensive, but this cookbook certainly debunks that theory. In fact, most of the recipes have about 5 or less ingredients and every recipe looks super quick, super easy, and super cheap! So, enough with the endorsement and on with the giveaway! What do you have to do to win a copy? Simply post a comment. That's all. I have two copies to give away and I will pick two random winners. Here's a preview of the prize at hand: So, post yo

Guest Blogger: Melanie Joy, Ph.D., Ed.M.

Since I've been running short on time lately, I thought now would be the perfect opportunity to invite a guest blogger on board. You might remember I interviewed Melanie back in August on Eating Consciously Podcast #13 . I've read the book and I give it five stars all the way! If you haven't pre-ordered it yet, I HIGHLY recommend that you do. Make sure you get a copy not only for yourself, but copies for the carnists in your life as well. Since this is a bit of a lengthy post, I won't take up too much more of your reading time, but I wanted to point out that you might be interested in watching this new two-minute video about the book: and now I'll let Melanie tell you a bit more about the book herself... Like most people, I grew up eating meat. I also grew up with a dog, who was my best friend throughout my childhood. And like most people, I didn’t think about how I could love my dog yet eat other animals daily without thinking about what I was doing or why.
