Brownies and BBQ Seitan...oh my!

Lets start with my favorite baked good ever! Brownies! These suckers took a good 7 or 8 times of tweaking to get them just right. I experimented with many different egg replacers....applesauce, soy yogurt, flax seed, bananas, silken tofu. Finally I found that the combination of applesauce and soy yogurt created the taste/texture that I was going for.....fudgy and moist but still holds together very well. This particular batch is topped with leftover cookies n cream frosting.


My next recent favorite is this BBQ seitan strips over quinoa pilaf with a baked sweet potato. Holy crap.....this was so good. The combination of the BBQ sauce with the quinoa pilaf was awesome. Plus quinoa is so easy to make into pilaf. Just use 1/2 water 1/2 stock liquid mixture to boil it in. When its cooked add some finely shredded carrots, peas, corn, maybe some shredded kale, black pepper, and maybe some garlic. Voila.....instant pilaf...well under 15 minute pilaf.


I also really like the colors of this dish. I try to make my dishes colorful so that way I can hit as many healthy veggie combos as possible.
Thats it for now.
