I was trying to make a cinnamon roll frosting to substitute for my unhealthy one, and ended up making non-dairy, egg-free pudding. And it was so fast and easy, especially compared to real homemade pudding (which I've done before). Here's the recipe:<br /><br />"Diane's Vegan Pudding"<br /><br />1 can coconut milk (about 13 oz.)<br />2/3 or 3/4 Cup Sucanat<br />whole wheat flour<br /><br />Melt the milk and sucanat on medium heat until smooth. Add wheat flour to desired thickness. It will thicken more as it cools, so don't go overboard. Whisk gently until there are no more lumps. That's it!<br /><br />You could easily add a little carob powder to make it be "chocolate" pudding, or maybe (I haven't tried this yet) use raw sugar instead of sucanat and add a little vanilla.<br /><br />This was almost the color of chocolate pudding, and had a mild, not-too-sweet, molasses-like flavor. . . very yummy! I thinned it with a little water after it got so thick, and it did work out great for my cinnamon roll frosting. You could also add a little cinnamon and a dash of nutmeg to make a non-dairy "cream cheese" type dip for apples slices.<br /><br />Sorry for such a long comment, but I was so excited to tell you about it. You and your modified recipes have been a great inspiration to me! Keep up the good work, and let me know if you like this one. You're the best!<br /><br />--DianeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7015641473202244138.post-50786519563941373512011-05-20T21:12:56.207-06:002011-05-20T21:12:56.207-06:00Your plants look wonderful, Tam !

Sounds dreamy...eh?! Until July and August come along. <br /><br />I am so proud of you for maximizing your small space and for working so hard on bein' green. 'Cause you know what they say...it ain't easy...bein' green. ;)<br /><br />We plant a lot from seeds...and a lot from starts. The St. George area has some great places to get strong starts. And good old Star Nursery isn't bad either.<br /><br />My favorite things to plant AND to harvest AND, most especially, to eat are...tomatoes, for sure!<br /><br />Keep up the amazing work!<br /><br />Love you loads, EmEmilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10353830755025049342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7015641473202244138.post-56482296316399155212011-05-20T13:43:49.665-06:002011-05-20T13:43:49.665-06:00It seems like we're always planting and harves...It seems like we're always planting and harvesting. I love herbs. I've found with the herbs that if I harvest and plant my own seed, I end up with better herbs.Myrna Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13534358757278599925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7015641473202244138.post-91679051321214946702011-05-20T13:39:48.042-06:002011-05-20T13:39:48.042-06:00We started an indoor garden this year in our apart...We started an indoor garden this year in our apartment. We don't have sun coming though our window til evening so I am doing mine with a full spectum light. It is so exciting and I think our green onions are the first thing to be ready next week!<br />I really want to grow more fruit, I found a website to compare organic bluberry bushes, sizes and lbs of fruit produced http://backyardberryplants.com. We'll get one in July. I think raspberries will have to wait til we have our own place!<br />Planting and harvesting food is addicting!!Jennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17057318679803711594noreply@blogger.com
