Sugar and spice and everything nice

1) I just realized I didn’t post a picture of the breakfast sammich with my last blog post.  So here it is!

2) I made apple cider!!  I can’t believe I’ve never made it before- it was SO easy!

Here’s what you do…

Homemade Apple Cider

Ingredients:
2 quarts apple juice (I made my own in my juicer with some honeycrisp apples cause I’m cool like that)
1/4 cup mulling spices

Directions:
Put your apple juice in a saucepan and add the mulling spices.  Simmer for however long you want (I think I simmered mine for about 30 mins).  Strain the mulling spices from the apple juice.  Drink up!  Seriously, it’s that easy!  And really really delicious!

Winner winner…

That’s me!  I won something!  I signed up for a give away from Open Sky and I won!  It’s an herbal non soap face cleanser.  I haven’t tried it yet, but I can’t wait to give it a try. Thanks Open Sky- you guys ROCK!

On to juice-o-mania 2010!  Today’s concoction included a beet, a carrot, ginger, and an apple.  It was SO good!   (the ginger adds a really nice warmth to it!)

I had a looooong day at work today.  Literally, I worked TEN hours!  Whew, I’m pooped!!!

When I finally got home from work I prepped some stuff for breakfast sammies for the week.  These things are AWESOME!  Don’t worry, I’m giving you the recipe.  You’ll definitely want to thank me for this one.

Sarah’s Awesome Vegan Breakfast Sammiches

(Print this recipe!)

Ingredients:
1 package of tofu
a little olive oil or cooking spray
your fav vegan breakfast meat- I like gimme lean sausage style or Yve’s canadian bacon
english muffins
salt and pepper

Directions:
To make your tofu…  Press some of the water out of it, then slice into about 6 slices.  Spray your baking sheet with a little mist of olive oil or cooking spray.  Place your tofu slices in the baking pan.  Spritz the top of them and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Throw ‘em in the oven on 475F for about 10-15 ish mins per side (watch them closely, that time is an estimate).  When they’re nice and golden brown, they’re done!

Next work on your veggie breakfast meat.  Cook it up according to package directions.

Once your done, assemble your sammich.  Put your veggie meat and tofu on a toasted english muffin ( I like the Ezekial 4:9 kind).  You can also add your favorite vegan cheese to your sammy!  Eat to your hearts content!

 

They are really really good and I swear they keep me full for a good 5 hours!  Nom!
