Just so it is clear I am still cooking, I thought I would post this pic even though it wasn't the best (since I haven't been posting as many new recipes lately!). I had high hopes for this recipe for baked, crispy tofu but it had very little flavor. I will need to doctor the leftovers for sure. The rest of the meal was great - Oranger Than Thou Carrot Coins, Ginger Curry Potatoes, and Jasmine rice (all recipes posted in previous months). I would have to say this was one of the very few recipes from 500 Vegan Recipes that we haven't liked. Oh well!
Sausage/Cream Cheese Mixture
Vegan Crepes For Christmas Eve, we have had a tradition of making a family favorite - Sausage Crepes. Seriously, these are fabulous! Crepes filled with a mixture of onions, sausage, spices and cream cheese, baked and then topped with a sour cream/butter mixture. I decided to try my hand at veganizing the recipe as this is the first vegan year for us. Unfortunately, they didn't live up to the original. They weren't terrible and if we weren't comparing the meal to the original recipe, they probably would have been fine but they just didn't cut it. Perhaps coming to the sad realization that there are just some recipes that can't properly be veganized - or maybe just need to do some more experimenting. The problem was the sausage - I made a seitan sausage and combined a couple recipes - it was just a bit weird. I decided I needed to post the recipe so I could at least show that I worked really hard to make them (and once again, to prove I really have been cooking!! :-) ).
Finished Product (minus the topping that is added after baking)
