More Gluten Free Baking Adventures with Coconut Milk!

I was gifted this gluten free angel food cake mix. I've never made angel food cake vegan or gluten full or not. The directions called for twelve egg whites(?!) an even though I do have a can of garbanzo beans in my pantry I have no mixer or even a whisk so experimenting with aquafaba was not an option. I decided to just do my usual and add a can of coconut milk and see what happens! It smelled like a vanilla coconut cake while it was baking!! It turned out nothing like an angel food cake, more like a pound cake. It was dense but moist and tasted great! Along with the angel food cake mix came a gluten free carrot cake mix. I'm waiting until I have some vegan cream cheese to make the frosting. I haven't had carrot cake in forever so I'm super excited for that one!

Last night I made a delicious Thai green curry. First I cooked some onion and red lentils with some green curry paste an a little water, then added one can of lite coconut milk and some baked tofu. The red lentils disappear in the broth, just making it thick and creamy and of course adding more protein and fiber! I added some edamame at the end and sprinkled it all with green onion and cilantro. I also added about a tablespoon of the lemongrass tamarind sauce I have to the cooking water for the rice for a little extra flavor. Another great protein packed meal for those who wonder about our protein intake!

This is my current situation. Joan is comfy and cozy cuddling on my lap. She's all tuckered out from spending a good hour this morning trying to wake me up for breakfast!
