Joni's Tofu Egg Salad



It's coming up on summertime. Picnics and trips to the beach are well on there way. I used to love the egg salad sandwiches my mom used to make for us. They were pretty plain. No onions, no pickles, no capers. Just eggs, mayo and a smidge of mustard. Well, I'm all grown up now, with grown up tastebuds. Here is my take on my childhood favorite.

More Weekend Goodies...Cupcakes, Carrot Cake & Seitan Skewers

Sunday we were going over to Dad's House for a birthday barbecue. June & Kurt & I made some food to bring over. We made a dozen Vanilla Cupcakes with Chocolate Buttercream (VCTOTW) and a Carrot cake with cream cheeze frosting (the VCTOTW recipe as a cake.) We also made grilled asparagus, hummus and kabobs with baby bella mushrooms, onions orange bell peppers, seitan and tempeh marinated in teriyaki. Yummy.

Joanna's Tester Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

CAN YOU BELIEVE I QUADRUPLED THIS RECIPE?

Yep. 4x baby! I made enough for an entire army of hummus eaters. For a party tonite, a bbq tomorrow and lunches for the rest of the week. In my opinion, this is great. I like the curry and the cumin in there. I would've never done that on my own. I'm more of a garlic or balsamic hummus girl myself.

Sloppy Joanna's

These were sooooo yummy! I made them for my sister and Kurt last night after their long drive down from Portland yesterday and they also gave them RAVING reviews. Kurt says, "The way I remember real sloppy joes is that they just tasted like spaghetti sauce and meat on a bun. These have much more ***waves hand in air*** depth." Sissy says, "OMIGOD these are AMAZING!" The recipe made enough for 4 VERY SLOPPY Joannas.

Stampede Cookies

I made these last night. They are from the "Hot Damn & Hell Yeah" Cook Book. Page 55 to be exact. I made the recipe exactly as written. The dough seemed really dry. After the first batch came out more like scones than cookies, I added some rice milk to the batter and the rest came out more cookie like. These taste really good. They have coconut, oatmeal, chocolate chips and walnuts in them. YUMP!
