My Zoetrope and Vegan Dish Giveaway!!

We have our winners, 24 Emmakat , 143 Fanny, 140 ZuckerBaby, 157 Maggie Muggins and 55 Jojo. Thanks to everyone who played, you will get another chance for fabulous prizes tomorrow.

Buying cute things from vegans on etsy is about the only thing in the world that make me happy at this point in my life. Vegans make better art. It’s true, you can look it up. When was the last time you saw a vegan on Regretsy? That’s right, never. Two of my favorite vegans are contributing to today’s fabulous prizes.First up is the fantastic Michelle Cavigliano, the Brooklyn artist behind My Zoetrope. I am just smitten with her art, not only do I have several of her pieces brightening up my cookbook shelf but I also love her blog. For veganmofo this year My Zoetrope has been featuring a different drawing of an animal or vegan food item every day and donating the money to animal sanctuaries. I think I might have to get the hamster! Earlier this year “It’s Veganlicious” even got Michelle to do the art for her tattoo! You are never going to believe this but you could win the woodland jamboree because she is giving away any TWO prints from her shop, regardless of size (up to $40 value) to anyone in the world!

Equally exciting is that Jeanette Zeis the creator of Vegan Dish, your one stop shop for vegan vessels, is also giving away fabulous prizes today as well. I have a veganmofo mug that I adore and let me tell you that there is a great side benefit. If you live with nonvegans no one else will ever use your vegan mug! They don’t want to look like a wannabegan!Jeanette is also doing an amazing giveaway for either a mug or a set of four bowls. What an awesome prize for a family that eats a delicious breakfast together of cereal with almond milk out of their vegan bowls! Or, more likely, a single person who doesn’t ever want to dishes again during the week. I want them bad.

Lucky for you I can not enter this contest and it is open WORLDWIDE! Since Jeanette and Michelle were so generous with the prizes we are going to have lots of winners. All you need to do is tell me what item you would most like to have; either pick one of Michelle’s paintings (look at them on etsy and tell me which one), or if you’d like the set Jeanette’s bowls, or a mug. The way that I will pick the winners is by first using the random number generator and then by availability of preferred prize. Please also leave a good email address because that is how I will contact you if you win.

You have until 10 pm CST to enter, that is 2pm in Sydney Australia, 3am in Timbuktu, 5am in Tel Aviv, 6am in Helsinki, and 5pm in Hawaii.

Aloha.

Sometimes when you put two very different ingredients or styles of cooking together for the first time it is like magic. Beautiful partnerships can be formed like peanut butter and chocolate or you can get dishes like chili mac. Other times you end up with chocolate ice cream and olives or Christmas Hot Dogs and wonder how you ever got to that point. Today’s round up is dedicated to combining what might seem like un-mixey things.

First from Scissors and Spice we have Italian enchiladas. This combination makes a lot of sense to me, I know plenty of Mexican-Italian people so why not combine the two culinary traditions. They both use tomato sauce and delishiousness so I say manga mi amigo!

 

Next I kind of fell in love with the idea for the Vegan Cookie Connoisseur’s Bloody Mary Biscuits which were inspired by Milwaukee’s Comet Cafe. This means Kelly added olives and vegan bacon into the delicious pastries. I want some!

I also loved Vegtastic Voyage’s idea for Thai Pesto, basically trading out basil for cilantro and pine nuts for peanuts. Along with some other finagling this simple no-measuring recipe sounds like a great idea for those of us that love cilantro in particular and Thai flavors in general. I am going to try it for sure.

Have you checked out My Zoetrope this mofo? Michelle is doing the most wonderful paintings of rescue animals and auctioning them off to raise money for animal sanctuaries. I am in love. I also couldn’t believe that she made a  Graham Cracker Cake which is like smores in cake form! The recipe is from Celine and Joni’s Hearty Vegan and is even more reason why I have to get this book!

 

I saw Manifest Vegan’s post about Apple Nachos and I almost didn’t want to look since I was picturing apples covered in queso with salsa. Lucky for me, I opened up the post and was astonished to find a beautiful plate of easy desert-y goodness.

But my favorite post for today’s theme is indeed the vegan mac and cheese pizza. Not just because of the brilliance of this concept of comfort food meets comfort food but because it supposed to be served with a side of mac and cheese.Thank you Kelly Garbato for this inspirational post and for your a wonderful combination.

Why does mofo come only once a year?
