Another delicious recipe from Chloe's Kitchen - Chloe Coscarelli and a great alternative for when you feel like a change from the standard pizza.
1 14 ounce package extra-firm tofu, drained
2 cups bbq sauce (it pays to get a really good quality one, or make your own)
2 large onions, sliced (i used red onions)
pizza dough 1 to 1 1/2 pounds or buy the base
1 cup diced pinapple
2 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander/cilantro
1. Press the tofu, cut into cubes and toss with 1 cup bbq sauce. Bake in an oven at 325 degrees for 45 minutes turning a couple of times throughout. (Alternatively, to save time just grill the tofu which should only take about 10-15 min.
2. Turn oven up to 450 degrees F.
3. Saute onions until tender and caramelized about 20 to 30 min. Season generously with salt and black pepper.
4. Spoon remaining 1 cup of bbq sauce onto the pizza and spread, leaving a border along the sides, you may not want to use all the sauce, just enough to coat the dough.
layer the Tofu, caramelized onions, pineapple and cilantro.
5. Bake for about 15 to 20 min, until the crust is slightly browned or golden.

Date and Almond Butter Smoothie
This recipe is from The Joy of Vegan Baking by Colleen Patrick-Goudreau and has a lovely rich depth of flavour.
Play around with the ingredients and amounts. I used only 1 tablespoon of almond butter (as that was all I had) and yet found it very strong so 3 T might have been too much (i was using roasted almond butter though which tasted devine). I also used a little less maple syrup so adjust sweetness accordingly.
2 cups (470ml) non diary milk
1 or 2 ripe bananas, cut into chunks and previously frozen
2 to 3 heaping tablespoons of almond butter (32 to 48 g)
1 tsp cinnamon
3 dates, chopped
1 T pure maple syrup (20 g)
tsp vanilla extract
If you do not have a very strong blender, try soaking the dates first or add the dates and bananas to the blender first and pureee separately before remaining ingredients.
If you have a strong blender such as vitamix then combine all the ingredients and blend until a creamy smoothy.
yields: 2 servings
