bruschetta

A couple of variations:

2 tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1/2 tsp. minced garlic
1 tsp. balsamic vinegar
8 fresh basil leaves
black pepper
12 1/2" slices of Italian bread.

OR

2 tomatoes (maybe Roma?)
2-3 large cloves of pressed garlic
2 tsp. balsamic vinegar
2 T. EVOO
Sea salt

Brush bread slices with olive oil and toast


Either way, toast the bread, serve.

Vegan chocolate chip cookies

2 c. unbleached flour (or 1 c. unbleached flour, 1 c. oat flour)
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
pinch of cinnamon (optional)
vegan chocolate or carob chips (recipe says handful, but I will put a lot)
1 c. raw sugar
1/2 c. veggie oil or canola oil
1 tsp. vanilla
1/4 c. water

Preheat oven to 350.  With all ingredients at room temp, mix flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.  Stir in chips.  Mix and set aside.  In another bowl, add sugar and oil and mix well.  Add vanilla and water and mix well.  Add the wet to the dry and mix some, but not too much.  Spoon onto ungreased cookie sheets and bake until they are done.
