Panda Raps: Dry Muffin

A breakfast tribute.

Coffee chippin'

Pumpkin Barley Oat Bars

Mr. Bran makes his move on my pumpkin barley oat bars from 500 Vegan Recipes by the most fabulous Celine from Have Cake Will Travel and Joni from Just the Food.

I had a cup of pumpkin leftover from baking last week and needed to use it up. I wasn't in the mood for cookies or cupcakes but wanted something for breakfast instead. I flipped through my cookbook indexes on a quest for pumpkin and found these pumpkin barley bars which I think I tested lo these many years ago. I only needed to grab one ingredient from the store and then I could bake and enter a world of pumpkin and chocolate bliss. Until I tried to take a photo for the blog and Mr. Bran jumped on the couch and made his move.

Cookbook Favorites: Chicken Noodle Soup from 500 Vegan Recipes

I make this often every winter. I was lucky to test for 500 Vegan Recipes by Celine Steen and Joni Marie Newman and this soup is probably my favorite from the book. So easy, so delicious.

4 c chicken flavored broth
1 c fresh or frozen peas
1 c fresh or frozen corn
6 ounces tofu cut into 1/8 inch cubes
6 ounces noodles, your choice (I use rotini)

-Bring broth to a boil in a large pot
-Add peas, corn and tofu and return to boil
-Add the noodles and simmer 7-10 minutes or until pasta is done.

I often add other vegetables to this, such as carrots.

With many thanks to Joni and Celine for permission to reprint their recipe. Support your vegan cookbook authors!
