Welcome to day 3 of my week eating entirely vegan.

Breakfast: Venti soy latte from Starbucks. I’m afraid of trying any syrups in my drink because I don’t think they’ll mix well with soy milk.

Lunch: Leftover vegan chili from last night (still tasty!) wrapped in corn tortillas.

Dinner: I attempt to make vegan tofu scramble. The recipe from allrecipes.com calls for canned diced tomatoes, green onions, and mashed silken tofu.

I got this recipe from allrecipies.com when I wanted to make a dessert for Christmas that required no baking. My family loved and hated me for it – love because it’s freaking delicious and hate because – well, you read my warning.

It’s super easy to make and only requires that you’re able to stir and that you have a microwave and a fridge.

Here’s what you’ll need (allrecipies.com claims that this pie yield 8 servings, but it’s pretty rich, so you might get more out of it)

1 chocolate piece crust (9″)**

1 8 oz. package of cream cheese softened (you can use reduced fat it you want; I never tried it with fat free, so I won’t suggest it)

3/4 cup of white sugar

1 cup of creamy peanut butter – your choice (You could use reduced fat PB, but I don’t know how that tastes, so I leave that up to you) Read More »
