Tuesday Post-MoFo Round Up

Tuesday Post-MoFo Round Up

Comments 5 comments

How is everyone enjoying post-MoFo life? Me, I’m a little wistful, so I’ve launched myself deep into the sanity threatening world of NaNoWriMo to distract myself from MoFo withdrawal. Which is not to say I haven’t whittled away plenty of valuable writing time surfing the vegan blogs. I bring you some of my favourites from this past week!

So I married a vegan catered for 75 lucky guests. On the menu? Winter soup shooters, golden lentil dumplings, hummus and muhammara, roasted sweet & spicy nuts and more.

More in parties, Bianca from Vegan Crunk attended a Heathen Housewarming! The food spread looks great, but I’d be all over this homemade Grave Hill Vineyard Swamp Cider.

Over at Bonzai Aphrodite, the adorable Thanksliving Coloring Zine by Nathalie VanBalen is reviewed. As the type of adult who stares at children colouring in restaurants with envy, I want a copy!

MoFo’s own Jess still owes me an exclusive email review of all of this amazing food at the new Native Foods in Portland.

Thanks to Hipster Food, I’m making mashed potatoes tonight.

Hannah Kaminsky does everything from taking incredible photos, creating the best sweet vegan recipes, and—a girl after my own heart—growing oyster mushrooms in her kitchen. With them she created these vegan Oyster Mushrooms Rockefeller (including a recipe!).

Also no slouch when it comes to food photography (understatement of the year), Celine from Have Cake Will Travel posted these Raspberry Sour Cream Mini Coffee Cakes. I’ll take three with a cup of afternoon tea.

Americans! You must make this pumpkin cheesecake with pecan crumble topping for Thanksgiving. Everyone else: Make it now. If you’re still waiting for your copy of Vegan Pie In The Sky to fall from the heavens into your hands, you’re in luck with this freebie recipe. (edit: I thought American Thanksgiving was this weekend. Sorry! So maybe you should all just make the pie tonight)

And since nothing can top that, have a happy Thanksgiving (US), a sombre Remembrance Day (Canada), and enjoy all those other holidays I’m too ignorant to know about.

Thursday Round-Up: Second Annual Apple Post

I can’t help it.  I have apples on the mind, yet again, during MoFo, and it looks like plenty of you do too.  For those of you who haven’t begun thinking of every possible way to use an apple, I provide you with this opportunity.

Of course, you have apple pie, done beautifully by veganwhore who pays homage to the best of the apple varieties, honeycrisp.

Aren't these hand pies adorable?

Next up we have these beautifully-crafted Mini Pumpkin Apple Pies with Coconut Creme from Kelly at the Vegan Cookie Connoisseur.

What beauties!

Check out The V Word for a savory apple dish: Onion and Apple Relish Tofu.

That tofu looks so crispy and delightful!

Jess at Cupcakes and Kale created something beautiful.  Wouldn’t you like to sink your teeth into one of these Apple and Salted Caramel Cupcakes?

Salty!

If it’s something savory you require, head on over to The Blooming Platter of Vegan Recipes for French Lentil and Apple Salad with Champagne-Dijon Vinaigrette AND Quick Vegan Tempeh Bacon.

You can always count me in for lentils.

Lastly, Suburban Vegan leaves us with Apple Cider Martinis.

Cheers!

I invite you all to put your thinking caps on and come up with more tasty uses for apples.  (Pretty please?  So I can work my way through the oodles of apples floating around my kitchen? )  Until next time, my friends!

Wednesday Round-up: Let Them Eat Cake!

Wednesday Round-up: Let Them Eat Cake!

After swearing I heard two engineers at work discussing installing doughnuts in a wall, I realized that I have dessert on the brain. I’d just watched last week’s Top Chef Desserts, where they made doughnuts, so I must have still had them on the brain. So, I decided to see what sweet treats folks were baking up for Mofo.

I love pineapple in my carrot cake, and over at Alien’s Day Out, there is a lovely carrot pineapple cake with tofu cream.

Anchors and feathers cooks up a different, but still just as delicious looking carrot cake.

I’d also love to cozy up with a nice cup of tea and the Coffee Cake with Prunes over at Emmakant.

This Triple Apple Cider Bundt Cake at OMG Veg! looks absolutely heavenly.

These cake pops aren’t baked, but I love raw desserts, especially when they’re coated in chocolate. I certainly wouldn’t turn down a few of the cake pops at barefoot and frolicking!

With so many choices for great desserts, I’ll be distracted for a while before I start thinking about doughnuts again!
