Corn Dogs
Amazing. Our family went vegetarian over a year ago and corn dogs was one of those comfort snacks my husband missed. I used unsweetened soy milk in place of milk and cut the sugar to just a few tablespoons and the veggie corn dogs were amazing! Thanks so much for sharing this recipe!

Crispy Barbequed Tofu Slices
This has become a recurring favourite at our house. We gave up meat as a family and every now and again we miss some of our old comfort foods like BBQ wings or ribs. This is a great meal when we want something quick and familiar. The secret is finding a good quality Tofu. Firm but still gives easily to the touch and not lumpy and grainy in texture.

The Best Vegetarian Chili in the World
We made this last night pretty much as written and it really was amazing! My local grocer was out of jalapeno peppers but I found some preserved in jars and used those. I only made one true change and that was to add a couple of tablespoons of dark organic ground coco to tie the spices and the "heat" together. A friend of mine showed me this trick and I loved it so much I add it almost every time I cook chili. A word of advice for those who are concerned with the heat of this dish: it is really important to let it simmer for the full 45 minutes or maybe even a bit more. I always find that slow cooking ties in the flavours and takes the edge off the heat.
