Blueberry cobbler Ala Mistake



I am pretty picky about my cobbler. I like it not too crusty, not too flakey, so I combined and tweeked about four recipies to create this little ditty.

Ingredients

2-1/2cups blueberries (I usually use frozen because thats what I have on hand)
1-1/2 cups flour
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
2 tsp haines baking powder
1 tsp salt
2 ener-g egg replacements (to replace two eggs)
1 cup oats
1/2 cup nucoa margarine
1/2 cup vanilla rice milk

Place blueberries in the bottom of a 9x13 pan.
MIx together flour, sugars, baking powder, salt, oats, and mixed up egg replacements untill crumbly. Spread evenly on top of blueberries.
Mix together melted nucoa and vanilla rice milk and dribble over top. Bake at 350 untill lightly browned. About 15-20 minutes.

Butternut squash soup




This soup is so yummy, even my meat loving husband loves it.

Ingredients

2 tbsp Nucoa
1 small onion chopped
1 stalk of celery chopped
2 medium carrots chopped
2 or 3 medium potatoes diced
1 medium butternut squash- peeled, seeded and cubed
32 ounces 365 vegetable broth from whole foods. (see picture on potatoe soup recipe.)
Salt and pepper to taste

Melt Nucoa & onion, celery, carrot, potatoes and squash in large pot. Cookfor five minutes to brown a little. Add vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Simmer covered for 20 minutes or untill veggies are soft. Blend half of soup mixture in blender till smooth. ( I like my soup hearty and chunky. If you prefer it smoother, blend more or all of soup in blender till it reached desired consistancy.
Add salt and pepper.
