Mofo Day 22. Mexican Bean Dip & More Cupcakes!!!

I totally forgot about the Mexican Bean Dip that I made the other night. I meant to blog about it yesterday but I guess it slipped my mind. It is basically a lazy version of seven layer dip. I got the idea when my boyfriend spent two days eating a store bought omni version. I'm not gonna lie, I felt a little left out so I decided to make my own (with the secret agenda to make it better!).  It's just as tasty, very simple to make and literally takes seconds.

Way better than store bought ommi dip

Mexican Bean Dip:

1/2 can Amy's Chili with Vegetables
1/2 tub Tofutti Cream Cheese or Sour Cream
4 tbsps Soy Yogurt*
1 tbsp Taco Seasoning
1 tsp garlic salt
1 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp mustard powder
1/4 cup Daiya shreds (Mozza or Cheddar, I used Mozza)
1/2 avocado, cubed
*If using sour cream you can omit the soy yogurt

Pour half a can of Amy's Chili with vegetable into serving dish. In a seperate bowl, mix the tofutti, soy yogurt and spices. Layer the mixture over the chili. Sprinkle with Daiya Shreds and avocado. That's it! Serve with taco chips and enjoy.

Cooled, un-iced and ready for some action!

Now for the cupcakes! These smelled so awesome while they were in the oven, it was hard not to dive right in when they came out. I actually ended up butchering one as it came out of the muffin tin so I ate it, and burnt my mouth :( Once they cooled I iced them with what was left of the cookie n cream frosting and there was still some left! I'm serious, the recipe could frost 3 dozen cupcakes. Now I know for next time to at least half it, if not more.

Frosted and topped with crushed oreos :)

The BATmelt...MoFo Day 10

I will apologize in advance as I am feeling rather lethargic today and this post will be short.

I love sandwiches. Everything about them is awesome. Bread! Yes, bread...oh so carby and delicious. Mayo! YES freaking please...slather that shit on there. Avocado! Tomato! Cucumbers! Pickles! Cream Cheese! You name it, I want to put it in there. My moto for sandwiches is the more the better. I like a good messy sandwich that you stuff so full things fall out and then you get mini meals. lol. One of my favorite pregan sandwiches is the BLT. Although it is not as complex as I like my sandwiches to be, it is the perfect combination of flavours! I have never been one for lettuce in a sandwich, I feel like it is just filler and really, who wants filler? watery filler. No thanks. Instead of lettuce, I prefer avocado. Creamy, buttery, subtle and delicious. So instead of a BLT, I am more into what I call the BAT, Bacon, Avocado, Tomato. Booyah! what better to enhance a sandwich than cheese and so the BATmelt was born. dundundun.

To start this sandwich right I used an awesome multigrain bread from Bubby Rose's Bakery, lightly toasted with a bit of margarine and Spectrum Light Canola Mayo a cheaper alternative to Veganaiise and also a little more mainstream. I like fatty sandwiches, so I butter and mayo both sides! Next up is Yves Veggie Bacon, I must say I am very impressed with this product, it reminds be more of turkey bacon. Then I add some mozza Daiya shreds and toast for about 30 seconds under the broiler, browning it slightly. Thick slices of avocado are next, followed by thinly sliced beefsteak tomato. Slap those suckers together and BAM! Sammich time. oh oh oh oh. (Sung to the tune of Hammer Time!)

Well ladies and gents, I hope you enjoy my version of a timeless classic. Enjoy :)
