No, it's a scuffin!


Bonsoir mes amis! I hope you’ve all had a great Tuesday.

I was supposed to go out tonight, but I decided to be studious and stay in due to a midterm tomorrow. Never mind the fact that I have absolutely no idea how to study for an explication of a cold-reading article in which we’re only supposed to use the text. I’m pretty sure that getting a good night’s sleep is better preparation than falling into bed at 4 am, though I’m still rather bummed!

Dinner this evening was a pile of roasted veggies with an entire block of firm baked tofu, all smothered in salsa.


The veg: carrots, onions, brussel sprouts and califlower.


For the longest time I didn’t like onions, but I’ve since realized that love them roasted or caramelized. And your breath is never as stanky if the onions are cooked J


I also had a whole-wheat tortilla dipped into yet more salsa.


As well as frozen green grapes (x2):


A piece of vegan fudge:


And two more unpictured pumpkin treats from this afternoon, topped with pumpkin butter. Though I initially dubbed them “cookies,” after eating several of them I’ve determined that they’re more of the “scuffin texture (scone + muffin = scuffin). In any case, they’re delicious and filling!

Hope you all have a great night!!

Are there any foods that you only like prepared a certain way?

What’s the best: scones, muffins or cookies?

I just made cuffins/mupcakes (cupcake + muffin) and those were pretty delicious!

I think you made a good choice to stay in! You'll be happy you did tomorrow! :)

Yum I want your roasted veggie bowl! There are plenty of foods I like prepared a certain way. Cookies- warm and soft, veggies- roasted or steamed, ice cream-with oreos on top hahaha. Next question....cookies for me!

I like food of all kinds - I don't judge. :)

I had roasted veggies tonight too - except your pictures are prettier than mine because my lighting blows right now.

A. I need to try making a batch of scuffin - I've never tried them!

B. I definintely only eat brussels sprouts when they're roasted. And dinners of roasted veggies are completely fantastic. I use them as an excuse to make dipping sauces happen.

I prefer cookies. Scones and muffins are good, but cookies are more of a treat for me :)

Jaclyn said...

Wow, that all looks great! Um, what's best?! Well i think it's best if you can cover all three bases - sounds like you did here!!!

I was going to go out tonight too, but after eight hours of work and homework... I'm tired and early am call too!

Good luck tomorrow girl!!

Dinner looks good, I wish sooo bad I had my own kitchen to whip up awesome stuff like this.

And I prefer cookies, for sure. Could literally eat them all day, every day.

Oooh hard question! All very yummy, and it depends what mood I'm in, but probably cookies :) Although saying that I recently made Ohsheglow's pumpkin scuffins, which were SO GOOD! Yours look awesome too!
Mmm and your dinner looks very tasty too!
Good luck for tomorrow! :)

Mmm, I love roasted brussels. Unfortunately, the dining hall doesn't seem to have them around. Boo.

I also love caramelized onion anything. When I make them I wonder why I don't keep a batch around at all times. They're good on anything!

Chelsea said...

I hope your midterm went well today girl! At least now you can go out tonight to celebrate it being done! ;)

Muffins are by far my favourite! Their soft, fluffy texture is the best!
