VEGAN no-bake peanut butter and chocolate oat cookies

1/2 cup margarine (Earth Balance)
2 cups sugar (white or brown)
1/2 cup soymilk
4 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups quick cooking oats

Directions:

1. In a large pot, bring margarine, sugar, milk and cocoa to a boil. Stirring constantly, let boil for 1-2 minutes until mixture is completely melted. Do not over boil.

2. Take mixture off heat and stir in peanut butter and vanilla until completely melted. Stir in oats.

3. Drop teaspoonfuls of the mixture onto cookie sheets lined with wax or parchment paper and allow to cool. When cool, turn cookies over to dry the bottoms.

4. Store in an airtight plastic container in the refrigerator.

FYI, the November Vegetarian Times just arrived, and it's got a number of Indian recipes that don't look too difficult.

There's also a reader-submitted recipe (some contest winner) for cauliflower in lemon-tahini sauce that sounds delicious.

I haven't tried any of these, but they sure look yummy in the pictures!

Is that an online mag ?


BTW: Just got my hands on a hardcover copy of "The Hare Krishna book of vegetarian cooking" by Adiraja Dasa, 1989 edition.

I remember reading similar in a paperback called "The Higher Taste" but this one has a lot more recipes (130 in fact).

I am enjoying it very much, although I do not use Ghee due to the Saturated Fat issue - Olive oil is my preferred oil (although Peanut oil is good for deep frying)

Not really. Here's their site: www.vegetariantimes.com

There's a recipe search, and it looks like they have most (if not all) of what was in the mag a few issues ago online. If you look all the way at the bottom of the page, there's a free weekly e-recipe (hmm, might have to try that out).

Here's the Indian stuff from this issue (none call for ghee):
Spicy Red Lentil Soup
Garam Masala Green Beans
Tofu Raita
Matter Paneer

There's also some other ethnic stuff, a falafel bake, sweet potato fritters, and then more pumpkin recipes than any normal employed person could logically use.

If you're interested, I can see about sending you a copy. But be warned. I'm long overdue for a trip to the post office (a chore I tend to put off).

Well, I'm an omnivore all the way, but I threw together an amazing pasta dish tonight, if I might be permitted a bit o' bragging, that I just had to share:

Screaming for Kalamata (serves 3-4)
Measurements were eyeballed, the numbers here have been guesstimated post-production. You are warned.

Ingredients
8oz bow tie pasta
2 Tbsp Italian seasoning mix (marjoram, thyme, rosemary, savory, sage, oregono, basil)...err towards more seasoning
1/3 cup red wine
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 can diced tomatoes
2-3 cloves crushed garlic
1/2 cup pitted kalamata olives

Cooking Instructions
Cook the pasta, drain, and set aside
In the now empty pasta pot, heat the oil over medium high heat. Add the garlic and italian seasoning. Cook, stirring, for about 30 seconds.
Add the wine (oooh, sizzly) and let it boil off for about 30 seconds.
Add tomoatoes and salt, stir until the mixture starts to boil.
Return the pasta to the pot, stir until the sauce coats evenly. Lower the heat to medium low bringing the pasta/sauce mixture to a low simmer. Leave on low simmer uncovered for ~10 minutes. Add the olives and stir until they are warm. Serve.

For the love of pete would a mod please fix the spelling in the title?!

(That recipe sounds delish, GC. What size half a can of diced tomatoes?)

[Ghoulish Delight]

It was half of a 15oz can of tomatoes.


Wow. I just noticed the type...

Hey lashbear--I've got some recipes for you. All those Indian recipes that were in VegTimes in October are online now:

Mattar Paneer Made Simple
Spicy Red Lentil Soup
Garam Masala
Tofu Raita

And, not Indian, but also seemed noteworthy:
Roasted Cauliflower in Lemon-Tahini Sauce

If anyone tries any of these, please post how you liked them.

I'm going to try the Mattar Paneer using the Tofu instead of the cheese this weekend !! *Yummy*
