Applesauce Cake

  This is seriously one of my favorite cakes of all time.  It is so good that it's hard not to gobble it all up in one sitting.  It's great for breakfast, as a snack, or for dessert!  Thank you, Vegetarian Mother's Cookbook for this one!

Crunchy Buckwheat Cereal

  Today, I am going to share one of my new favorite snack food recipes.  This recipe comes from a cookbook that I love, "The Vegetarian Mother's Cookbook".  While eating vegetarian is my choice, I am a little worried about meeting all of my nutritional requirements when I become pregnant.  This is really the only book on the market that I've found, and the recipes in it are great!  The author, Cathe Olson, also provides a pretty good nutritional breakdown of every recipe.

   This recipe is in her breakfast section and is a great alternative to the normal processed cereals or granolas.  I make this snack in small quantities, so that it is easier to mix up and b/c I only use it as a topping.  Once you try it out yourself, you can decide whether you want to make it in larger quantities, i.e. to eat as a cereal.
