Breakfast Feast

Tofu Scramble, Home Fries, Toast, Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins, Tea, and Orange Juice.

Dad's in town on a surprise visit and I really wanted to make him something special.  We ended up going out for lunch and dinner the last two days so I could show him the town and all our favorite places, so I made him breakfast before work today and went all out!

Breakfast included:

Tofu Scramble w/ Home Fries

Toast (Made with fresh bread using my new bread machine and this recipe - Simple Bread Machine Wheat Bread)

Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins (Made the same except I used vegetable oil instead of Earth Balance)

Hope he liked it! 

Chocolate Chip Cookies

I had a sweet tooth and while looking for vegan chocolates, this recipe came up and I decided to give it a shot.

I used the recipe located here: Happy Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies

We made a few trays, experimenting with times on each.  The first batch we did to the recipe turned out really doughy and uncooked.   I think the best recipe we left in two extra minutes on the bottom rack (6 minutes top rack, turned 180% and cooked 6 minutes, plus 2 additional minutes with an extra cookie sheet underneath it).

My oven seems to cook much faster than most recommend, so in adding more minutes I feel the timing on this recipe was way off.  Next time I will try some parchment paper underneath to stop the bottoms from burning, as a friend recommended. 

Verdict: Overall quite tasty, but need to experiment with cooking times.  Try them for yourself and let me know what works best for you!
