Vegan Chocolate Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookies


Oh yeah, baby. These were really good. A common problem with baking vegan cookies is the texture. Without eggs, achieving the optimum cookie texture (crispy on the outside, chewy and soft on the inside) can be difficult. However, these turned out perfectly. I think I'm starting to convince my coworkers that vegan doesn't mean tasteless! The cookies were incredibly rich and chocolate-ly and just plain delicious.

Southwestern Tofu Salad


This cold salad was a delicious mixture of sweet and spicy. Cumin, cilantro, limes, and chili powder helped flavor this healthy dish. The original recipe didn't include tofu, but I added some fried tofu cubes for additional protein. I just ate this plain but I'm sure this could be used as a filling for tacos or as a topping for tortilla chips.
