Powda Bon Powder Bun Recipes

POWDA BON (POWDER BUN)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In a large mixing bowl sift together the flour, baking powder and salt.
• Stir in both sugars and nutmeg.
• Cut in the butter/shortening and/or coconut oil.
• Combine the coconut milk and vanilla and stir in the bowl with the flour *just* until moistened. DO NOT overmix the batter! Stir in the raisins.
• Roll into equal size balls and [slightly] flatten.
• Arrange on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake about 20 minutes or until golden brown. We liked our powda bons with a drizzle of agave.

VEGETARIAN MINESTRONE SOUP FOR THE WINTER (VEGAN-FRIENDLY!)

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat, add the onion and garlic and cook until the onion is soft and translucent.
• Slightly lower the heat. Add the tomatoes, sage, and flat-leaf parsley and cover. Cook for 5 minutes.
• Pour in the vegetable stock. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover, and let simmer for 30 minutes.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Add the macaroni, carrot, celery, and northern beans and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the macaroni is somewhat tender.
• Stir in the peas and cook for another 5 minutes.
• Stir in the parmesan cheese.
• If serving with bread like hunks of garlic bread or ciabattas, place the bread in individual serving bowls and let stand for a few minutes and serve with plenty of extra parmesan cheese.
• I thought it went nice with some fresh-baked garlic bread!
