Lemon Pistachio Vegan Cookies
These cookies are a nice change of pace because they are not overly sweet. The fresh citrus brightens the tangy flavor of these chewy vegan cookies. This recipe makes 24 cookies and uses an electric mixer. You don’t have to have an expensive stand mixer any old hand mixer will do. One of my favorite things about this recipe is I was able to use my Squirrel Nut Grinder from World Market for the first time. It was an impulse buy when I saw him I just knew I had to have! He is so adorable! If you don’t have a nut grinder you can chop the pistachios in a…

Basically it is a twist on classic southern fried chicken coated with super hot cayenne pepper sauce. Did I mention it’s really hot? So to veganize we made Chick’n Fried Seitan and slathered it with sauce. The end result is these amazing vegan hot chicken sliders. We started by making a batch of of our Basic Chick’n Seitan. This can be done ahead of time. Any “Chicken” flavored seitan will work here. We sliced the cooked seitan into small cutlet pieces. Some of the…
