Because there’s nothing more exciting than cereal…

 
Ok, maybe cereal isn’t the most exciting topic, but it’s been really hard for me to find a yummy vegan cereal that isn’t 99% sugar.  But I think I finally found a winner in Nature’s Path’s Organic Flax Plus Multibran Cereal.  It tastes good, it’s low in calories and fat, and it’s full of fiber and [...]

Cinnamon Buns

Is there any better smell in the world than cinnamon buns in the oven?  I think not!  We decided to have these for Christmas day this year instead of cookies since we’d already made so many cookies leading up to the big day. 
It’s weird that I love cinnamon buns so much since I was never much [...]

Cookie Wars: the Gingerbread Strikes Back!

Its holiday time again, and for the last couple of years we have been making gingerbread cookies from the Post Punk Kitchen, this year was no exception. This was our second batch of them this season.  Kala made a pig man, and a pirate that did not survive the night.  I made a no frills [...]

The curious case of Doctor Cow

Recently I placed an order with vegan essentials for some gifts for Kala and along with these items I ordered some vegan cheeses, one of them being  Dr-Cow aged cashew.
First off its a very small wheel of cheese, at a price point that makes it an every once-in-a-while product.  The flavor is very sharp, and [...]

Cake!

Snickerdoodles!

 
Weird name, great cookie.  I’ve made snickerdoodles before around the holidays, but this is the first time I made them since I’ve been with Shane.  I tried a new recipe last night, the one from Vegan Yum Yum, and it was awesome.  The only changes I made were that I used baking powder instead of [...]

Peanut and Chocolate Biscotti

Last night I made biscotti for the first time in maybe ten years.  So that would be high school, yikes!  Anyway, the recipe came out of one of those holiday cookie magazines that come out this time of year, Christmas Cookies from Better Homes and Gardens.  The only thing that really had to be changed [...]

Chocolate Mint Creme Cookies

Chocolate and mint, one of my absolute favorite flavor combos, together at last in a super yummy cookie!  They’re the Chocolate and Mint Creme cookies from Back to Nature; I first tasted these earlier in November when Mississippi Market had them out for sampling.  After many visits back to the sample bowl, I decided to come back for [...]
