Sunday pancakes.

Found this at Vons. It's vegan and whole grain, just what I needed. The mix requires milk and an egg. I subbed cashew milk and chickpea water (3 TB for 1 egg).

Came out fluffy and tender!

Homemade date syrup. 9 dates soaked in 1 1/4 cup boiling water for 1 hour then blended. Then simmered on stovetop until dark caramelly brown!

Also poured some maple syrup because I love maple flavor.

I seasoned with Hp sauce, soy sauce and black pepper. I let it simmer until vegetables were cooked. Served with yummy mash.

Munchies.

These are the Life Changing seed crackers recipe from here: http://www.mynewroots.org/site/2014/07/the-life-changing-crackers/

Served with creamy hummus and tomato olive roasted pepper bruschetta.
