Good morning Aussie friends, we have a fun one just for you today!

They stock everything from cruelty free cosmetics to cheese and from shoes to shrimp, all vegan of course.
They’re constantly adding new products, hello raw macaroons, and they’ve teamed up with us to offer one lucky winner a $50 voucher to spend either in store or online.

This competition is open to residents of Australia only.
You already know of Julie from her hit cookbooks such as Vegan Diner and Vegan Pizza, and she also has a new casserole book coming out this fall. You may have been lucky enough to eat at her Native Bowl food cart in Portland, OR, before she and her husband sold it this past spring to focus on their new baking mix business.
These mixes are a perfect pantry staple for those who are gluten free and those who need to bake up a quick cake for the gluten free friend’s birthday. There are a lot of questionable recipes floating around the internet that can be hit or miss, but with a box of Julie’s Original you’ll know you’re getting consistent quality.
Julie’s Original is offering a box of her gluten free baking mix (white or fudge brownie) to 2 different readers today. To enter, you just need to leave a comment below about which of her recipes you’re looking forward to trying the most. We’ll select two winners at 8 am PDT on September 20th. This giveaway is open to US residents only. You’ve got 24 hours to enter! One entry per person please.
Hello, hello, you lovely VeganMoFo-ers!!! Jess popping in with an assortment of RandoMoFo.com picks and some bonus Instagram selections from my regular hashtag-clicking-sprees. You know how it goes. I started today’s roundup early this morning while “working from home”, aka seriously enjoying the double Rosies on The View and eating a plum muffin for breakfast.Pleasant stuff.
First up, via Instagram #VeganMoFo wandering, we have Shannon the @anotherhungryvegan hitting up Watercourse Foods in Denver for Buffalo & Memphis BBQ Cauliflower Wings. I want in on this and continue to be content with this saucy, battered cauliflower craze!
Another Instagrammer, Cassie @veganinsanity, serves up a hearty bowl of Smokey Barbeque Chili I can practically smell from here! Yum.
Well, it’s rainy in Portland once again (ba da bum, the season has be-gun) and these Sunshine Pancakes from Green Gourmet Giraffe are helping put a smile on my face and mood. So charming.
Speaking of Portland, this happened around the corner from my apartment and my cats are feeling left out, because dang, yum. Joni’s Seitan Burgers up on Panda with Cookie. They’re George approved. That’s really all you need to know.
What did you do today? Because Beetroot Massacre went for a 3 hour hike and then threw together this satisfying Tempeh Stir Fry with Black Bean Sauce:
Back to Instagram hopping, because it’s just so easy to get lost in, we have Stephanie @neatnnutritous with a seriously appetizing dish of Smoky Peppers, Creamy Cashews & Crisp Squash:

Hello, MoFo Land! It’s Cadry here from Cadry’s Kitchen.
I have been popping all over the blogosphere, and I can’t believe the mouthwatering stuff on offer. Here are just a few things that caught my eye:
If you started your day with a boring slice of toast or a banana, you may not want to look… Jenna at Good Good Things got her morning off to a rockin’ start with this heavenly tomato and seitan bacon sandwich. So jealous.
I’ve been eagerly following along at Veganopolous, where Faye is giving a play-by-play account on whether or not her kids will eat various meals, often to hilarious results. (They don’t mince words when it comes to their preferences.) On the menu today – Magical Chia Seed Jam from The Oh She Glows Cookbook. Will they eat it? You’ll have to go find out for yourself.
The official beginning of fall is mere days away. Are you ready for the impending barrage of non-stop pumpkin mania? Well, here’s where you need to start – the pumpkin pie smoothie from Allyson Kramer.
How pretty are these tripoline noodles? Even better, they are topped with a butternut squash alfredo sauce made extra creamy by way of cashews. Read all about it at Iheartcrapkitchen.
Jenn at Veggie Inspired Journey spilled the beans on how to make these Black Bean Salsa Burgers & Crispy Potato Rounds. Yes, please.
Finally, if you feel like you’re doing dishes non-stop in the middle of MoFo madness, perhaps it’s time to dig in to dishes you can eat. Ashley at A. Cook In the Making has you covered with this Roasted Garlic and White Bean Soup with Kale.
This Giveaway is now closed Bryant Terry is one of the most captivating vegan cookbook authors in the US. His books are always full of storytelling, music suggestions, and involved techniques that really put you in touch with a recipe in a more holistic way than just following directions. In that way, he’s kind of like my favorite food bloggers which makes his books a joy to read. Here is a great review of what you can expect to find inside from Beard and Bonnet who had it as her veganmofo book of the week on September 4th. I’ve heard really positive comments from everyone who has this book including our own Gabrielle who says “the dukkah cornbread is life-changing”. I love African, Caribbean, and Southern food and Bryant Terry’s use of seasonal produce and greens in almost every recipe will make it a winner for many mofo-ers out there who love to cook.
If you are interested in winning a copy of the book please have a US address, leave an email that you check in the form below, and ANSWER ME THIS QUESTION: What song would best fit your style in the kitchen. I’ll pick a winner tomorrow!

It’s true, this contestant had some tweaks, just like on the show itself, but I still enjoy the presentation and these quotes a bunch: “Isn’t VeganMoFo the best? ” “So, yeah, this was far from perfect. BUT! The actual soup tasted pretty good, considering, and I never would’ve come up with this combination on my own. All in all, I’m happy with the result.”
Sweet Heat Tacos, Veganista Mama (Another creative submission from Veganista Mama!) Thanks to everyone who joined us for this eye-opening and tastebud-pushing competition! I hope they’ve gotten folks thinking differently about all of these lovely flavors and foods.

Stay tuned for the big reveal, our Judge’s Choice of Chopped! Champion!,and let us know what’s piqued your interest!
I can’t believe VeganMoFo is more than half over! It feels like it’s only just begun. Maybe that’s because for the first time in five years I haven’t been meeting my post quota. URGH! I’m happy to see so many folks persevering through. Today I saw a theme seem to emerge or maybe I couldn’t help but be struck by all the balls from all over the vegan world.
First, is Little Vegan Bear’s Fiona Apple themed Baked Stuffed Apples which look delicious and are stuffed with dates and nuts and all sorts of delicious spices. Every day Little Vegan Bear’s posts are dedicated to bands with foodie names and I am wondering how she keeps coming up with them!
Next is VGNGF = VEGAN, GLUTENFREE, DELICIOUS‘s Banana Beignets and Lemon Curd. I want to eat every single one of these. They sound so delicious.
I also saw these Korean omelette rolls (????) from VEGALINA and I wanted someone to feed them to me ASAP. I had to double check that there was no egg because, Jeez, they look eggy. It’s amazing what a bit of turmeric and chickpean flour can do. I bet they tast eggy too with that black salt.
I’ve really been enjoying Olives For Dinner’s theme of cooking recipes from Vegan Cookbooks because erinwyso and I seem to have the exact same books! It’s wonderful to see so many of the recipes I’ve looked over come to life in their beautiful photography.
Finally, my favorite post I saw today: Smurf Tarts! I didn’t even know this was a thing! I know what my theme is going to be next year! Thanks Fiekefatjerietjesfor turning all of us on to this amazing dessert. Don’t worry no Smurf’s were harmed in the making of this post, that’s how vegan we are.
It’s week three here at Vegan MoFo headquarters and I am super excited about our giveaway today. The fabulous Vegan Dish has made some special Vegan MoFo mugs for us to give away!
If you haven’t seen her work check out Vessels and Wares on etsy. She has a wonderful variety of both vegan themed and plain ceramics for your perusal. You’ve probably seen her work in some of your fellow vegan bloggers photos and will recognize the classic lines and colors.
You can get a whole stack of bowls and use one each day of the week for your cereal or oatmeal. Starting the day off with handmade is guaranteed to make your morning breakfast a more pleasant hour (or five minutes). Support small vegan businesses! Follow Jeanette on twitter @jeanettezeis or instagram to see more of her work.
Vessels and Wares is offering a mug to 4 different readers today. To enter, you just need to leave a comment below about your favorite morning beverage. We’ll select four winners at 8 am PDT on September 18th. This giveaway is open worldwide, with a limit to 2 winners outside the US. You’ve got 48 hours to enter! One entry per person please.
So we’re already 15 days deep into MoFo 2014! I’m sure some of you are digging for new things to blog about…no worries! There’s always something Vegan food related to talk about. Look at the variety of posts from everyone’s least favorite day, Monday.
Kendy from Miss Muffcake got her paws on the new Amy’s Black Bean & Rice Taquitos, at Target of all places! I haven’t even seen those yet, so jealous.
Melaine from Melis Bunte Studentenkuche whipped up an excellent Minestrone that looks right up my alley. It’s been kinda cold in these parts and I’ve been dying for warm soup!
Over at the Evolution of Jill, Earth Balance White Cheddar Mac & Cheese is on tap! Good stuff, I love both flavors. A little broccoli doesn’t hurt either 🙂
Banana Curl Vegan Girl has some great tips on what to do with jackfruit. This Vegan Philly Jackfruit Cheesesteak caught my eye! And they say being Vegan is boring, hee-hee.
And the winner of the tastiest looking dessert today: Vegan Cookaholic blew my mind with Blueberry Cheesecake in a Jar! Yeah, I’ll have to hit the gym right after I eat it, but it will be soooo worth it.
Enjoy the rest of your Manic Monday and keep MoFo’ing!
