Blueberry Maple Nut Breakfast Couscous

This is one of my very favorite things to eat for breakfast. My whole family are big fans of it as well! The best part is, it is sooooo easy! Perfect for lazy Saturday mornings. You can switch it up with fruits and nuts of your choice. This is my favorite combination at the moment, but I am always finding ways to switch it up.

Ingredients
1 cup plain soy milk
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup couscous
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/3 cup finely chopped pecans
1/2 cup fresh blueberries

Directions
1. Bring the soy milk and water to a slow boil.
2. Add the remaining ingredients except the blueberries, stir, cover and remove from heat. Allow it to sit, covered for 10 minutes.
3. Add in blueberries and serve.

Licorice Lemonade

I am always on the lookout for good black licorice. It's one of those things that I like to have in my cupboards for when I need a little something sweet. I thought up this lemonade in attempts to use up the lemons on our tree and satisfy my love of licorice. And with the temperature here pushing 110 degrees Fahrenheit, an ice cold glass of anything, really hits the spot! Lemonade Starter Ingredients 2 1/2 cups water 1 cup sugar 1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon zest 1 cup fresh lemon juice Directions 1. Mix water and sugar in a pot over medium high heat until sugar is dissolved and set aside to cool. 2. Once the water/sugar mixture has cooled, add remaining ingredients, and stir. 3. Store mixture, covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

A Full Plate

This week, I have a very full plate. I am working on a few blog designs, teaching a cupcake decorating class (which I am sooooo not qualified to do), babysitting for my sis, taking my kids to pick pumpkins and then decorating them... and then all the usual stuff I do. Needless to say, it's bean burritos, oatmeal and take out here at The Veggie-Full Kitchen this week. So, instead of sharing one of my recipe's I thought I would refer everyone who lives in Southern Cali to Native Foods , to try Tanya's new Reuben. It is AMAZING! Just look at my little Sous-Chef.... he can recognize a good sandwich when he sees one... he just can't eat them yet. For those of you not in Southern California, here is a link to Chef Tanya's Blog where she shares some awesome recipes and more. Also, if you are in the market for a dynamite vegan cookbook , she's got one of those too.

My Favorite Vegan Cupcake Recipes...

Earlier this week I made these yummy cupcakes for my 3 year old's birthday. I used a recipe from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over The World by Isa Chandra Moskowitz and Terry Hope Romero. Every recipe I have made from their book I love. These two have vegan cupcakes down to an art! They have everything from your basic Chocolate Cupcake to your more unusual cupcake, like the Pistachio Rosewater Cupcake. I haven't tried one of their recipes that I don't like... these are DEFINITELY some of my favorites!
