But anyway, I've been pretty lazy when it comes to testing my own recipes this week. There was a s'mores muffins flop--
--which actually was quite delicious, despite being so ugly. They were definitely brownies masquerading as muffins, though, which led me to come up with a rough outline for s'mores brownie bars - graham cracker crust, s'more brownie center, and marshmallow icing. If I ever get around to making it, I'll post the recipe. (This flop was a direct result of my obsession with my newfound Ricemellow Creme: see previous posts.)However, I DO have a recipe for you avid fans (pfft), which isn't really a "recipe" per se (except for the "egg" part), but more of a how-to on making the best faux sausage egg and cheese ever in under ten minutes.
--------
Fauxsage Egg and Cheese Sandwich
Ingredients:
1 English muffin
1 slice (or 1 oz) vegan cheese (I used Vegan Gourmet cheddar)
1 faux sausage patty of your choosing (I used Lite Life)
Earth Balance for buttering
1/2" patty of tofu (instructions for slicing follow)
For the 'fu egg:
1/2 cup flour
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp thyme
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/8 tsp turmeric
To prepare:
Cut your muffin in half and toast it, buttering as soon as it's out of the toaster. While it's toasting, fry your sausage patty according to the packaging directions. Use a glass with a round rim to cut a circle out of a block of tofu and slice off a 1/2 inch round. Sift together all the flour and spices, and coat the tofu evenly. Fry it in a little oil for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until bright yellow and slightly browned.
Assemble the cheese on bottom, the sausage in the middle, and the 'fu on top. Eat and enjoy.

Tomorrow's an in-service day for my school, so I hereby rub it in the face of everyone who has to get up early tomorrow. (You can get me back when I have a three day spring break. =/)
Love,
