Breads: Biscuits (Vegan and Dairy-free)

I was looking to have some biscuits today and realized I did not have any shortening. Furthermore, I am allergic to most dairy products- so when I looked up a recipe I had to do some modifications, because, let's face it, when you look up non-dairy biscuits they either take 20 hours to make or they look/taste horrible. So today I am trying a new recipe from The Purity Cook book posted by this blogger: http://spicymayo.ca/recipes/best-biscuits-and-the-purity-cookbook/
Here are the substitutions:

Water for milk
Coconut oil for shortening

I am interested in seeing how this little experiment turns out. I am also hoping they are as delicious and pretty as the original blogger put up.
They are quite moist and delicious. They are also very flaky. All in all I'm very pleased with how they turned out and now it's time for breakfast!



Until next time, happy eating!

Fried Fair: Homemade Potato Chips

Thanks to the invention of siblings, I have potato chips homemade!
Seasoned with Garlic and Pepper seasonings and salt of course.

Very cool. Hope you all have a good day and take care to appreciate your siblings and family, whether they be related or not. :)

Product Review: Silk Almond Milk

When you think of Silk, most people think of soy milk. Which really has been their only product for a while (soy based products) but this year they ventured into making almond milk (Which is my preferred choice of non-dairy beverage.)

I wanted to try Silk Almond Milk and had the opportunity to do so today. I found a coupon for $1.00 off and thought hey can't hurt!

I tried Silk Almond Milk Vanilla sweetened version.

Well, my verdict is- it's a great almond milk, a bit sweet. But this will be great in my coffee and in my cereal!

Until next time, I hope you have a great day!

9/20/11 Update: Since this post, I've been using the unsweetened version with much success as a replacement to regular cows milk. The bonus? It's only 35 calories per cup! Make sure to throw it out if it changes flavor and goes though.
