At tonight’s vegan cooking class at Nea Guinea we made soy milk from scratch. And then with the soy milk we made bechamel and with the okara from the soy beans we made a scramble okara putanesca! Everything was absolutely delicious and fun!

Today is our 5th wedding anniversary. Time flies by so fast. It kinda feels like we’ve met yesterday. Outside of a crappy hotel in London few hours before a Guns N’ Roses concert. One of the best nights of my life ever! To celebrate our wedding anniversary I made these lovin choco waffles. And served them along with a cup of hot chocolate. Blissful loving morning! Make these for your partner. They scream love!

Ingredients

1 cup finely ground old fashioned rolled oats
1 cup whole wheat flour
pinch of salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 Tbsp cocoa
1 cup almond or soy creamer or your preferred non dairy milk
1 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp light agave nectar or maple syrup
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
4 Tbsp vegan nutella

In a large mixing bowl whisk together the flours, salt, cocoa and baking powder. In a separate bowl whisk together the almond creamer, olive oil, syrup and vanilla. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix. Cook the waffles according to the waffle iron manufacturer’s instructions. Halve the waffles, spread one Tbsp of vegan nutella at the bottom half and cover with the top half creating a wafffle/nutella sandwich.  Continue with the others. Serve and Enjoy!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Filed under: Desserts,Events — Tags: , , , — dimitra @ 7:42 pm

Happy Thanksgiving to all! I don’t understand why people in Greece do not celebrate Thanksgiving. I find Thanksgiving to be an amazing opportunity to celebrate and be thankful of what you have. I am thankful to have a wonderful family, two adorable kitties, the best husband in the world and really great friends. As Thanksgiving is not a holiday in Greece and had to spend much time working, I didn’t manage to create a really great Thanksgiving dinner. It was also just me and Sean so I preferred to spend more time with him instead of cooking for many hours.  Of course we did have dinner. And watched football. For dinner we had black bean cutlets, creamy mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, veggie pot pie,  a pretty green salad and easy chocolate peanut butter pie. I didn’t even think to take any pictures when I served the dinner, so all I have to share today is an after hours photo from our pie. Actually of what it was left…

This was made with graham crackers crust and chocolate peanut butter pudding filling. And it tasted great!
