Vegetable Soup or Vegan Cheese Sauce?

-
Image
  I find it amazing that I can throw some vegetables in the soup maker press a button and after 25 minutes it transforms into something super delicious.  This morning I defrosted some pizza sauce and then did not feel like making pizza. I thought I would try a vegan pizza soup.  I had a giant sweet potato so I cut some into fry shapes and added the not good looking pieces into the soup maker. Then I added some vegan better than bullion chicken flavour. Half an onion, water, cashews, nutritional yeast, pizza sauce, curry powder, Mexican seasoning and water. I usually add some fat to the soup maker I forgot this time it turned out great.  While the Soup maker was working I tossed the fries in cornstarch and sprayed with avocado oil. Then air fried them for 12 minutes. Adding a little oil part way through cooking.  The soup tastes amazing and was a perfect dip for my fries.

Vegan gluten-free sweet potato cake bites

-



This an adaptation of the sweet potato brownie recipe I tried a few years ago. Read that post here https://www.livingvancouverloca.com/2017/10/october-30-2017-healthy-flourless-vegan.html. New twist these are cooked in the Instant Vortex Plus airfryer oven and the method is a little different. These turned out so good add a bit of alcohol and these could definitely be a dessert option in a fancy restaurant. 


Yesterday I cooked the sweet potato  in the Instantpot on manual pressure for 10 minutes. Let it sit for an hour and then put them in the fridge over night. 

I was making these for breakfast I wanted pancakes and also wanted to see what brownies would taste like. I forgot the maple syrup by accident it wasn’t needed. Pressure cooking the potatoes brings out the sweetness. The only baking tray that fits in my airfryer oven is the mini cupcake one which is perfect. 

For the method I dumped the ingredients in the bowl without measuring. I have approximated the measurements below. 

In one bowl I added 1 sweet potato, 1 Tbsp almond butter, a few drops vanilla extract, 1 Tbsp baking powder, a pinch of salt. Then added coconut almond milk I spilled a little so added a bit too much. Add enough milk to give you a batter consistency around 2/3 of a cup. The baking powder is not needed. I wanted to see what would happen it can be omitted.

In the other bowl I added 1 sweet potato, 1 Tbsp almond butter, few drops vanilla extract, 2 tbsp cocoa powder, 2/3 of a cup chocolate almond milk. 

Then I used a spoon to put into the cupcake tin lined with parchment paper. I added some cinnamon to a few of the cakes in the first bowl. I also added 1 vegan chocolate chunk to each of the chocolate ones. 

My airfryer oven tells me when it is preheated so I set it at bake at 350. Cooked for 15 minutes and turned the tray once it’s not necessary. Then let cool.

I wanted pancakes so tried a few with vegan butter and maple syrup was good but by themselves were better. The chocolate ones were almost like a good quality truffle. 

Definitely recommend giving these a try. If you make these please tag me on Instagram @livingvancouverloca and let me know how they turned out. Enjoy

April 21, 2018 Tsawwassen Mills shopping trip

Foodiebuddy and I arranged to go to Tsawwassen Mills as a pre-birthday celebration. Tsawwassen Mills is a newer mega mall with outlets near the ferry terminal. The mall is built on first nations land as it is about a 40 minute drive from Vancouver. Prior to the mall existing I very rarely visited Tsawwassen I believe the last time was over ten years ago when a family member lived there. Fortunately Tsawwassen Mills is operating a free shuttle from downtown Vancouver and Richmond which makes getting there convenient. I live in Coquitlam and Foodie Buddy lives in Richmond so we both took skytrains from our homes and met in downtown Vancouver. We didn't plan this but we ended up picking a gorgeous weather day much appreciated after the weather we have had recently. downtown Vancouver April 21, 2018 We knew the bus left at 12:30 but we weren't sure where the stop was. We decided it was likely where the other buses leave from at Canada Place. We saw the bus when walking o

2018 Goal Reached earned over $1375 from the internet and $1500 Goal for 2019

If you want to read last year's post click  here http://www.livingvancouverloca.com/2017/12/2017-goal-reached-earned-1000-cdn-from.html Last year I wasn't sure if I would be able to meet this goal but I actually passed it. I am happy about meeting this goal so of course I am motivated to pass it again. 2019 my goal will be $1500 because my circumstances have changed a little since last year. I have a new job with a long commute and not a lot of internet access when I am out. $1500 seems realistic where I have to work but it won't be overwhelming. My requirements are still that I do things I enjoy and can do them anytime I want with no commitment. I will post links in the future but I really wanted to get this post out before 2019. Here is a breakdown of the earnings 2018 Earnings mturk $776.69 prolific $162.96 focus group $125.00 field agent $67.50 quest mindshare/panel champ $62.50 Eva $60.00
