Week 3 Roundup!

Comments 3 comments

Three weeks of VeganMoFo 2019 down, and we’ve been seeing some really tasty food. This week was Seasons Week for those following the themes – which meant we got to see food that’ll keep us going all year round. Here’s some highlights!

Day 17: Winter Warmer

Coastal Vegan

Hot chocolate is the perfect warming winter drink! Hot and strong, it’ll warm you to the core!

@idunsyn

Mmm, pasta e ceci – this hearty winter pasta comes with a lovely story behind it, check out Angela’s instagram post for more!

Day 18: Summer Cooler

Amber Eats Veg

What do you eat to keep cool in summer? Amber made a tasty looking tomato and basil salad with homemade vegan feta!

Gonna Go Walk the Dogs

On a hot summer day, a nice cooling drink is perfect…and this fruit packed sangria would definitely hit the spot!

Day 19: Fall Colours

Vegans Need Sauce

Check out the colours of this borscht in progress! Aren’t they beautiful? For the finished product, check out Emily’s blog!

Just Bloggs Vegan

Have you ever heard of the spice ras-el-hanout? Yes, but do you know what it means? Find out, and find the recipe for this tagine on the blog above!

Day 20: Spring Salad

Recipes for Self Care

Ooh how good does this salad look? These are carrot bhaji – the recipe is in the post – and they look to go perfectly in a nice salad!

Long Island Vegan

Just look at this amazing bowl! Filled with a homemade blondie (you can click through to find the recipe!), ice cream, and sprinkles!

 

Day 21: Picnic!

One Raw Bite

Jennifer’s continuing her CSA theme by making this eggplant curry – and doesn’t it look lovely?

Food for Dissertating

What’s a picnic without some pasta salad? This is a vegan pepperoni pasta salad and you can find the recipe on the blog link above!

 

Day 22: Seasonal Dish

Vegan Ha Ha

This delicious looking summer dish uses fresh broad beans and crispy radishes to make crostini. Perfect for a summer lunch!

Go Vegga

Here we have a recreation of Isa’s Chickpea Cutlets -but made with canellini beans instead of chickpeas. The recipe is so versatile, and it sounds like these work wonderfully!

Day 23: Seasonal Celebration

Kittens Gone Lentil

It may be really trendy right now – but who can resist a latte that looks this pretty? Unicorn latte – not, assuredly, made with unicorns!

@trimazingvlc

This is apparently “Raspberry Applesauce Marshmallow Fluff salad”, if you can believe this is a salad, but it definitely looks tasty!

Week 1 Roundup!

Week 1 Roundup!

Comments 4 comments

The first official week of VeganMoFo 2019 is over! Ok, week and a bit, but we figured we’d include it all in one round-up. We’ve already seen some amazing food and got glimpses into your vegan lives, and are looking forward to seeing more over the next few weeks! Some of you are following the prompts, and some are doing your own thing, and both are perfect! Here are some of the highlights…

Day 1: Introduce Yourself

One Raw Bite

Jennifer has been doing VeganMoFo for the past four years, and this years theme is all about her CSA box. Don’t know what that is? Head to her blog for a handy guide!

Herbivore’s Heaven

VeganMoFo’s very own Jenny has a Japanese theme to her MoFo-ing this year. Check out her blog to find out how creme brulee fits into it!

@teaandsympatico

Caroline’s theme for the month is books and reading…and food and drink to go with that. Sounds pretty perfect right? She starts off with this chocolate chip marzipan cookie – yum!

Day 2: Kitchen Tour

Recipes For Self Care

Look at this beautiful kitchen! The greenery especially makes it feel very cared for and lovely!

Food For Dissertating

A blog full of lunch ideas? You’ll never run out of things to make again! This is a 3 tier bento box, and you can find the recipes for all the goodies on the blog link above!

My Apologies for the Novel

Julie’s blog is pretty great, because every post ends with a cat picture! So it’s no surprise to find these cat oven mitts and pot holders in her kitchen…but aren’t they cute?

Day 3: Biscuits/Cookies

Veginspired

These cookies are chocolate mocha flavour, and look so simple to make! Just combine the ingredients and go. Yum!

The Singular Vegan

Being very “Bake-Off” themed today and using a Paul Hollywood recipe! These gingernut biscuits were veganised from his recipe, and sound perfect!

@openmikepunkrock

Here at VeganMoFo, we don’t mind if your food is bought or made – so long as it’s vegan! And this “chocodoodle” Mike bought looks and sounds amazing!

Day 4: Cake!

@veganpicnics

Hands up who loves a good picnic? You’ll never have to worry about what to take again, if you follow Vegan Picnics! This is a cranberry bliss bar, vegan and gluten free, and lovely for a picnic!

@bonnie_rabbits

Chocolate cake, whipped cream, pomegranates…what’s not to love about this cake?

@mosolyoga

Rice pudding cake sounds intriguing but delicious! Especially topped with fresh berries and nuts.

Day 5: Pastry

Vegan Ha Ha

This tabbouleh is made with millet, and is perfect for a warm summer day, with herbs and vegetables and preserved lemon for a nice tang!

Downright Vegan

Inspired by pastries seen in a bakery, these are similar to mille-feuille, but without icing on the top, and look mouth wateringly good!

Vegan Beckles

Pastry can be savoury too! These are both vegan and gluten free, and packed full of melty cheese, soft potatoes, and herbed onions. Delicious!

Day 6: Bread

@butfirstsalad

With a bread prompt, you have to make sandwiches, right? This is an almond butter sweet potato fluffernuter sandwich…ok, how cool does that sound?

@trimazingvlc

Oooh, bagels! And homemade at that. You can’t get much better than homemade bagels, can you?

@_hollyblue_

Holly made a beautiful looking bento box, featuring a gluten free vegan naan bread, using a recipe from the lovely Vegan Richa!

Day 7: Technical Challenge – Quiche

Vegans Need Sauce

Mmm, how creamy and tasty does this quiche look? A tofu base, with spinach, onion, and garlic – simple flavours but perfect for quiche!

@sbrightw3

Sarah made quiche with potatoes, onions, mushrooms & rosemary – and all those flavours sound perfect together.

@vegan.raptor

Vegan Raptor is doing a Star Wars themed MoFo…full of great puns like this “Ham Solo”! Every morning is a guessing game…can you guess what each meal is referring to?

Day 8: Afternoon Tea

Just Bloggs Vegan

Would you look at this spread! Three types of sandwich on the bottom layer, coronation chickpea vol-au-vents in the middle, and scones with homemade jam and creme fraiche. I love the amount of effort that went into this, and would definitely be happy having it at a nice cafe!

Go Vegga

Who wouldn’t want lemon drizzle cake served at afternoon tea? This was baked for a birthday – and I bet it was well recieved!

@oohsarracuda

Sarra has absolutely mastered making biscuits, and if she made these for Mary Berry? She’d be won over in an instant, I’m sure!

Day 9: Showstopper

Gonna Go Walk the Dogs

Four words. Vegan Angel Food Cake. Amazing! Using the magic of aquafaba – the liquid from cooking chickpeas – this light and fluffy cake was veganised, and looks so perfect!

@idunsyn

Angela says she’s “not very good at showstoppers” but I firmly disagree – this looks amazing! The recipe is from Chloe’s Vegan Desserts and looks like a must-make.

Amber Eats Veg

Do you want to hear the history behind this booze soaked Alabama Lane Cake? Head over to Amber’s blog, and also find out how to make it!

 

Thanks again to everyone who is taking part – tune in next week for our Week 2 Roundup!

January MiniMoFo Roundup

January MiniMoFo Roundup

Comments 1 comment

The first month of 2019 is over! We asked you your advice on beating the blues for this MiniMoFo – and you definitely delivered.

@atinyhousevegan

Nina has been cooking so much good food this month – check out her instagram for more! This is a frugal meal too – after using half a can of coconut cream for cupcakes, the other half went into this delicious soup.

@veg_domesticgoddess

Kira took on a project and made vegan pho – several steps and hours in the kitchen, but perfect to keep yourself warm and enjoying yourself on these cold days!

@ambereatsveg

Start the day with a good breakfast, and you’re on track to a wonderful blues-busting day! This southwest cauliflower scramble is just one of Amber’s creations this month, and they all look delicious.

Living the Dream

Jen took the “blues” prompt literally and made a granola smoothie bowl using blue spirulina, which gives it the beautiful blue colour! Featuring fresh fruit and homemade granola – definitely looks lovely!

@vegfullife

Kirsty made stuffed carnival squash with veggies and rice, and a walnut dijon cream dressing – how good does that dressing sound?

Herbivore’s Heaven

Jenny isn’t feeling the blues herself this January, but kindly for those who are, she provided us with pictures of these gorgeous waffles from Puro in Prague. With baked apples, hazelnuts, maple syrup, and whipped cream – they’d definitely do the job.

@dimsimkitty

Keeping on the sweet theme, Susan had some cheering up with friends and milkshakes –  these are butterscotch, and strawberry flavours – yum! Perfect blues busting for the Brisbane summer.

@ms.spaetzle

Back to savoury, and a lovely green pasta meal – with peas and preserved winter garlic, yum!

@imogenmichel

One sure way to beat the blues is to go for deep fried, delicious food. Deep fried pizza, chips, battered sausages, cheesy garlic bread…need I say more?

@veganblueberry

Some great advice from Blueberries on beating the winter blues – keep warm and cosy and drink delicious chai!

@emflower.x

How about some baked goods to help you beat the blues? Millionaire’s Shortbread is rich and full of caramel and great for cheering you up!

 

Thank you to everyone who took part in MiniMoFo this month – Stay tuned for February’s, coming soon!

Week 4 Roundup!

Week 4 Roundup!

Comments 2 comments

That’s it! It’s the end of Week 4 and VeganMoFo 2018 has come to an end. How sad is that? I have to say, it’s strange not waking up to a new prompt and seeing what everyone else is making, but I’ve found so many new people to follow that I’m sure I’ll see plenty of great food throughout the year. How about you? Have you enjoyed VeganMoFo this year? Here are some of the highlights of Week 4!

Day 23: Sunday Dinner

@mosolyoga

Hungarian Sunday lunch! These are smoked seitan sticky BBQ ribs – and they look perfect for a Sunday.

@meettheshannons

This is one famous vegan roast – it’s been featured in Country Living magazine! And now it’s gone into my Sunday dinner plans…

@tofumom

Arroz con Gandules – or Puerto Rican Rice with Pigeon Peas – anyone else eagerly awaiting the recipe for this? It looks delicious!

Day 24: Pot Luck Perfection

@vegannotjustgreens

Lots of hotel cooking going on in @vegannotjustgreens VeganMoFo posts – something I’ve learnt a lot about now! This was for a potluck barbecue!

@carrotsrestaurant

Ok, how cool is it that we have a restaurant participating in VeganMoFo? And they make cakes as delicious as this!

Moving Scouse

Ever made sourdough bread? If you need tips, check out this blog post for some great ones. Anyone bringing bread as delicious as this to a potluck is my friend!

Day 25: Birthday Bash

One Raw Bite

What do you want for your birthday? Cake? How about a vegan hummingbird cake? Jennifer has been posting American Cakes this month, and this hummingbird cake – banana and pineapple, with a cream cheese frosting – apparently has a hidden history!

@valerieminne

Or how about brownie cake? You can’t go wrong with chocolate, and the crackly top on this brownie is everything brownie dreams are made of!

@atxvegans

ATX Vegans post vegan food from all around Austin, TX, and the surrounding area. And wouldn’t you like this pizza for your birthday? As someone from a country where we neither have tater tots or tater tot pizza, I’m intrigued.

 

Day 26: Favourite Holiday

@teaandsympatico

On Fridays, Caroline celebrates getting through the week by renaming it…Pieday! This must be my favourite holiday I’ve discovered through VeganMoFo.

@a.panda135

We love Isa here at VeganMoFo HQ, and her Dilly Stew is one of her best recipes! Amanda is thinking of putting this on her Christmas menu…we’ll be round!

@bigtentvegan

Would you just look at this thanksgiving feast! Wow! Hopefully you can draw some inspiration from this – vegan thanksgiving food can be pretty amazing.

Day 27: TV Trays

@bonnie_rabbits

Where would a TV dinner be without pizza? In the Netherlands, you can get vegan pizza at Dominoes – even with a little “I am vegan” sticker on! Perfect for a cosy night.

Plant and Vine

Kerrie shares her recipe for an easy chana masala – complete with wine pairing advice! Can you imagine tucking into this with a glass of wine in front of a good film?

T is for Triathlon

Cindy shared something that will really help a lot of vegans – how to make tofu, from scratch! She’s been posting a lot of how-tos throughout the month, so check them out.

Day 28: Prep-ahead Picnic

Kittens Gone Lentil

“Pretty in pink picnic” was the title of this blog post – and oh wow how pretty! With a reusable sandwich wrap, pink snack bar, pink drink, and pink kindle…yeah, this is pretty great.

@ms.spaetzle

Ms Spaetzle has been doing a pasta themed VeganMoFo, which is absolutely wonderful as you can never have to much pasta. Here is her prep ahead tortellini pasta salad for a picnic!

Green Gourmet Giraffe

Johanna got a public holiday because of the football, which is a fascinating idea, and made vegan chocolate pancakes – accidentally, because chocolate milk was all she had in the house. I say that’s a great accident. With strawberries too – delicious!

 

Day 29: Brunch & Munch

Plumes World

Today was brunch day, and of course a fry up was on the cards! Hash browns, beans, sausages, and veg – this looks like a great way to start the day!

@vegfullife

How lovely and tasty does this look? “No huevos rancheros” – tofu scramble, cheese sauce, salsa, corn tortillas, and refried beans, a delicious brunch!

 

Day 30: Kitchen Tour

My Apologies for the Novel

Is anyone else jealous of Julie’s dining corner? How cosy does it look! Click through to her blog to see the rest of the photos of her lovely kitchen.

My Cat Loves Daiya

So, I had no choice but to feature the kitchen that comes with a cupboard for the cat! And look at that judgmental gaze! Who better than kitty chef to tell you how to cook?

@twohappyrabbits

The Two Happy Rabbits are off on a nine month long road trip, so showed us their camper van kitchen! I’m always in awe of what they can cook with such a limited space. Check out their post for a detailed list of what they take.

And finally – our very own Herbivore’s Heaven has been cooking through recipes from this year’s VeganMoFo! Check out her blog post here. And don’t forget – if you make a recipe you found through VeganMoFo, let us know!
