Recipe Re-Vamps - Coming Soon!

Sometimes it's nice to look back at where I've been kitchen-wise, and play around with old favourites to create new deliciousness! Here are a few of my highlighted favourites that I'll be playing with in the next little while. Check back [very] soon for the recipe re-vamps! 

Cocoa Irish Oat Cakes
In an attempt to sift through my old cooking blog (cleaning things up and finding recipes to "veganize"), I came across my recipe for Cocoa Irish Oat Cakes. Thank goodness I did, because these crispy little delights are almost completely vegan with the exception of honey and egg whites - which I can easily swap out. So check back soon, because I'll be making an adjustment to this recipe that makes it both healthy AND vegan-friendly!  I may even test out a raw version at some point... ;)

Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Protein Balls
Peanut butter. Cookie dough. Need I say more? I made these addictive protein balls back in January 2013, and as with the oat cakes mentioned above, they were *almost* vegan-friendly. Just gotta knock out the honey, and they're golden! (I see a pun in there somewhere, but I won't bother with it... This time...)
I'll be making up a batch of these soon, but most likely using chocolate protein powder instead of vanilla, and am going to adjust a few things with the recipe...

Amazing Cinnamon and Brown Sugar Apple Butter
There's nothing quite as comforting as apple butter spread onto some warm cinnamon-banana bread on a cool autumn day. In fact, autumn is a great time for anything apple! My old favourite for apple butter that I made back in March of 2010 contained a bit more sugar than I'd like at this current point in my life, so I'll be making an adaption of this containing only the sweetness of delicious fruit, and may add in some coconut milk to make it extra creamy and decadent... ;) Also, this stuff tastes great spread on the Irish Oat Cakes mentioned above! I'm super excited to play around with this recipe... Mmmm...

French Onion Soup
Oh, I miss this stuff... A lot. I got a little down when I went into a restaurant a while back and saw that they had this on the menu, and I couldn't order it. Cheese - one of the biggest reasons (food-wise) that people don't go vegan (from what I'm told anyway). My goal is to create a perfect re-vamp of my old French Onion Soup recipe. With all of the amazing dairy-free cheese options available, this shouldn't be a problem.... :)

Well, that's all for now!
There will be more, of course, as I have a mini-goal of re-vamping all of the recipes in my old blog. I'm hoping to have these re-vamps (and a few more recipes) posted up in the next couple of weeks.
Until then! *waves*
