yumyum

Yummy is really all that comes to mind at the moment. Yesterday I cooked up some fig bread that smelled and tasted amazing, but after it had been out of the oven, it sank. Despite it's appearance, though, it was amazing! Here's the recipe:

Fig Bread
Makes 1 loaf

Ingredients:
  • 10-12 fresh figs
  • 1 c. + 2 T. applesauce
  • 1 T. vanilla
  • 1/4 c. vegetable oil
  • 1/2 c. NuStevia powder Baking Blend
  • 2 c. whole-wheat flour
  • 1/2 t. baking powder
  • 1/4 t. baking soda
Directions:
  1. Slice off the tips of the figs and halve them. Place in a large bowl and mash them with the skins on.
  2. Stir in applesauce, vanilla, oil, and sugar.
  3. Mix flour, baking powder, and baking soda in a separate bowl. Stir into wet ingredients until well-mixed.
  4. Pour into a greased loaf pan, or if you like, in a muffin tin!
  5. Bake at 350 degrees F for 45 to 55 minutes.
Dinner turned out nicely despite an unexpected setback - I was planning on making a stuffed eggplant recipe, but one of the eggplants was rotten, ruining the meal. So, we used the good eggplants in a vegetable sauté with onions and tamari sauce, which was delicious. Then, I was in a little bit of a predicament, so I whipped together some things I had lying around: kale and sweet potato with some vegetable broth and red onion. It was so good! We still have leftovers that we ate for lunch. It was tasty, and looked pretty nice as well:
