    This is the recipe that I was hoping to find! I have a bag of corn tortillas and had no idea what to do with them. Thank you for sharing!

    Here are 3 I have...sorry no photos..but all are yum! Enjoy!

    Black Bean Enchilada Casserole

    Serves 6
    1 cup (4 ounces) shredded reduced-fat Monterey Jack cheese, divided
    1 cup cooked brown basmati rice or long-grain rice
    1 cup fat-free sour cream
    1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
    1/3 cup chopped green onions
    1 teaspoon ground cumin
    1 teaspoon chili powder
    1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
    1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and chopped
    1 (19-ounce) can red enchilada sauce
    Cooking spray
    12 (6-inch) corn tortillas
    Preparation
    Preheat oven to 350°.

    Combine 1/2 cup cheese, rice, and the next 7 ingredients (rice through jalapeño) in a large bowl. Spread 1/4 cup enchilada sauce in bottom of an 11 x 7-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Heat remaining enchilada sauce in a skillet for 2 minutes or until warm, and remove from heat. Dredge both sides of 6 tortillas in warm enchilada sauce, and arrange tortillas, overlapping, over sauce in baking dish. Top with 1 3/4 cups bean mixture. Dredge both sides of remaining tortillas in warm enchilada sauce, and arrange tortillas, overlapping, over bean mixture. Top with the remaining bean mixture, remaining enchilada sauce, and 1/2 cup cheese. Bake at 350° for 40 minutes or until bubbly.

    I know these aren't really meals. I'm sorry, but I am a baker by heart, and make some killer vegan treats.

    And finally a shiitake-ginger soup with kale and tofu.

    We do eat real food occasionally around here. All photos of food are vegan too!

    Thanks!
    the cupcakes are just a little less terrible considering the lack of eggs and dairy.
    the bagels are around 200 cals a piece
    the cinnamon rolls came out to about 190 calories a roll
    and the soup was super low cal :)

    The secret is that making these things all the time, staring at them, working on them, smelling them, tends to dim the attraction. Except for warm bread. I can eat an entire loaf of warm bread all to myself, but cupcakes... I just feed to everyone else.

    Ummm... yes, first I have to make the batch smaller as I make batches of 4 dozen for work... and it is all in my head.

    This yields about 12-15, 4oz bagels (reduce if necessary)

    6c bread flour
    1/4 c + 2 tbsp sugar (I use raw at home)
    1 tbsp salt
    5 tsp of active dry yeast
    3 c warm water (no hotter than 130 degrees)

    Mix all the dry together and pour warm water in. Mix well and switch to a dough hook (if you don't have a fancy mixer, get ready to knead). Add about 1/2c-1c of bread flour slowly, just enough that the dough forms a ball and knead for 10 minutes (this is a workout all on its own).

    Once the dough is supple and smooth looking (no longer super sticky) place in a oil coated bowl and lightly cover with a towel or plastic wrap. Place in a warm place for quicker rise or can be placed in the fridge overnight. If you ferment it overnight, cover it well as it can grow passed the plastic wrap and get dry spots.

    Before you shape the bagels, get a stock pot full of water and a little bit of brown sugar on the stove and turn up the heat. Once the dough has doubled in size, place on a lightly floured surface and cut into 4 oz portions.
    This is probably the best way I can even describe how to shape them: http://youtu.be/ymtIUhkbN6o

    Once they are shaped you can place them in the boiling water for 45 seconds on each side. Once out of their bath, you can place them on a lined baking sheet, brush with olive oil (or egg wash if you prefer) and season however you desire. Bake at 350 degrees for 22 minutes. Rotate halfway to ensure even cooking. I hope it works out for you!

    Some of my favorite toppings are salt and pepper, lavender and rosemary, and cinnamon sugar (but I use a different oil to brush with for the cinnamon sugar).
