What to do on a snow day

I made these little treats yesterday to take to Phi's play group, we had a few left over and of course they had to be enjoyed in the morning. But I have to laugh, after going to 3 doughnut stores at 8:30 at night to get powdered doughnut holes, mine were so not as perfect as the original and so I rolled them in a bit more powdered sugar which then caused my frosting to slide and their poor little faces lacked a bit.With all that, they were still such a hit. Highly suggest them, if you need your babe to drink any kind of milk. Phi kept laughing as she made the (almond) milk disapear from the snowman's tummy.


So we were closed today for snow, which didn't come but brought lots of ice and cold.
I just adore these days, often we are trully stuck in the house and enjoy playing with everything we can get our hands on. Today I bravely and probably not so wisely ventured out in the elements. So glad I did, we had a wonderful day at the pool with some great friends, an impromtu yummy lunch and by the time we got home a 2 1/2 hour snuggle nap with Sophia. To finish off the day, we made some finger paints and a yummy dish from Little House of Veggies (which has become my go to site lately)
Tasty Seitan Buffalo Wraps
Ranch dressing
1/2 cup Veganaise (vegan mayo)
1/4 cup soymilk
handful of fresh parsley
1 tsp dried dill or 3 tsp fresh dill (I used It's a dilly)
1 tsp garlic powder
cracked black pepper & a pinch of Spike

In a bowl add about 1/2 cup Veganaise. To that add a handful of fresh parsley, a tsp of dried or 3 tsp fresh dill, 1 tsp garlic powder, crack of black pepper, I added a squeeze of lemon too. Add the milk a bit at a time till you like the texture. Sometimes I want this thick and dip like others more of a thin dressing

Buffalo Sauce
1/4 Frank's Sauce
3 Tbsp. Smart Balance butter
1 tsp garlic powder
(adjust based on if you want them Zippier or not. I used more SB, for Phi
Melt the 3 Tbsp. of SB . Add the Frank's and garlic powder. Whisk well and set aside.

In a shallow bowl mix 1/2 cup flour, pinch of paprika, salt and pepper. Toss the seitan strips in the flour mixture.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet (enough to just cover the bottom of the pan, 3-4 tbsp.). Pan fry the strips on both sides. Place the strips in the buffalo sauce and toss to coat. (Just like WIngs)
Use a wrap of your choice, layer with some Romaine, shredded carrots, Buffalo strips and ranch.
Certian to make your belly happy

  2. Gotta love that Hobby Lobby!!! They are glass milk bottles from there. They did double duty as the left overs held our paints.
