Spicy Old Bay Pita Crisps

7 Mar

Aside from my Beanfield beauties and some occasional popcorn indiana chips, I don’t really house the crispy little fritters in my house.

I was craving something a bit spicy when I needed a carb but wasn’t all to hungry or inventive when it came up with creating an elaborate snack.

Behold the easy version of home made pita style chips. Bawllmer-style (That’s Baltimore style for those who don’t speak my accent)

I slathered a tortilla with this oil mix.

Easy peasy: walnut oil, old bay, cayenne.

Popped em in the toaster oven under 350 until they began to brown.

Nice and crisp with just the right touch of spice. For those of you who don’t have the pleasure of knowing Old Bay. Get acquainted, real fast. It is great on everything, namely crab, french fries, soup, and now pita crisps.

It’s not overtly spicy at all but it gets the job done.

Question: Have you ever tried Old Bay?

Layers

5 Mar

Lately, I’ve been all about layers.

The top layer was what I was really excited about though.

Some of the Soyrizo from the Denver Seitan Company

Doesn’t look all to fancy but the taste and texture is amahzing.

Layer Uno : sawwce

I like to add spinach or other greens on the bottom layer of a pizza because it shrinks as it cooks

Onion and Mushroom Layer

Daiya Cheese is always on top so I can taste the gooey deliciousness in every bite. Plus is doesn’t get as messy when cutting it.

Then the soyrizo seitan which I quickly sauteed on a skillet beforehand.

Post Oven Lovin’

Happy Monday!

And in case you have the Monday blue’s here a picture to cheer you up.

I spotted this hilarity in the cake display at Whole Foods

It’s not even Mo’vember, but I’ll take it!

Fig Butter, Brie, Tofurkey Toastie

29 Feb

I’ve wanted to make this exact creation since I bought Trader Joes Fig Butter and now I’ve made it three times over.

By the way did you know its considered a fruit butter if there is more fruit than sugar in it?

The things you learn from a label…

Trader Joes Fig Butter, Tortilla, Tofurkey, Brie

  • ~1/2 T Trader Joes Fig Jam
  • Torilla of choice
  • Tofurkey (oven-roasted)
  • Brie

I made one half plain (on the left), untoasted/melted. It was delicious but….

Meet its sexier younger sister

I am more partial to a crispy crust but I wanted to try it out both ways to see which was better. Brie is one of those cheeses that may always be best slightly melted.

If you are a meat eater turkey would be equally as delicious, and if you don’t do the whole faux meat thing I would add some chopped chickpeas for added protein while not taking away from the flavor combo.
