Happy Halloween!!!

 
Happy Halloween everyone, I hope you’re all having a spooktacular day!!!  I know we haven’t posted much this month, October has been crazy busy!  Shane and I ran our very first 5K today, the Monster Dash in Minneapolis – it was awesome, so much fun and so many great costumes to look at   Have [...]

And the winner is…

 
….Rahzh from Hungry Hungry Veganos!  Thanks to everyone who entered, it was fun watching the comments pile up and reading through everone’s faves.  I’m personally thrilled that mint chocolate chip got so many votes since it’s my personal fave!

Vegan goodness that is not on a plate!

Well it was sneaker day today.  My previous sneakers, an old beat up pair of Vans have needed replacing for a while, they have been disintegrating for a couple of months now.   After a good bit of searching, I opted for the  “ecos” shoe by Simple, and I even purchased them from the local vegan [...]

Vegan Goodness

Since it’s crazy crazy freezing here (it’s day 5 without heat here since they’re replacing the system in the building) and totally messy and disorganized, it might be a little while before there’s any food action here.  Dinners have been very homey and easy but not exactly photogenic.  So instead I’m going to post about all [...]

Cake!

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 [...]

Cinnamon-raisin Breakfast Couscous: A work in progress.

Kala and I gave each other a challenge to produce 10 recipes over the  month of September.  Today’s contribution was cinnamon-raisin couscous for breakfast.  It was a combo of wholegrain couscous, maple syrup, cinnamon, brown sugar, and well raisins of course.
It was good but not great, the challenge is controlling the sweetness and the need [...]

Kala’s Vegan Hundred

I’m playing along with the Vegan’s Hundred posted on the Bittersweet blog today!  I’ve only bolded things that I’ve had vegan versions of and the only things I’ve crossed out are the boozy bits cause I’m not a boozy kind of gal.  So…
 
Your mission, should you choose to accept it:
 
1) Copy this list into your [...]

Chipotle Glazed Black Bean Burgers

 
Tasty, but not quite perfect yet.  Vegan burgers are a harsh mistress and this was no exception, they were a bit too delicate and quick to fall apart.  But this was my first go at a black bean burger so I’m optimistic about next time.
