Banana Oatmeal Pistachio Raisin Cranberry Scone

Yup, some people like to make their scones into wedges and make the really pretty and stuff. Not me. I like to portion amount into approximately equal sized globs. I found these to be quite tasty full of whole grains (oats and whole wheat) and vegan.

Gluten Delivered for Cheap - Make Your Own Seitan

If you, like me, enjoy seitan but don't enjoy it price or availability at your local market you'll inevitably want to make it yourself. Then after spending time sifting through all of the seitan recipes you've collected, you'll know that you are going to need some vital wheat gluten. Roadblock: This wheat protein can be expensive and hard to find too. Solution: semi-bulk purchase from the internet. I've purchased the gluten for about $3.50 lb (5.5 lbs at a time w/ a subscription) with free shipping here. It's the best deal on gluten I could find and my local stores don't carry it.
