VeganMoFo Thurs. Roundup: A Match Made in the Kitchen

VeganMoFo Thurs. Roundup: A Match Made in the Kitchen

Comments 17 comments

Howdy MoFoing Fiends!

VeganMoFo 2011 is off to a great start, full of so many tasty dishes and lots of lovely comments floating around the blogosphere.  As I make my way through each and every post (Ha!), I can’t help but notice that there are some really delightful flavor combinations coming out of your kitchens.   Here are a few that caught the attention of my (somewhat American) palate.

Lemon and Blueberry

Lemon Pound Cake with Blueberry Topping

The marriage of tart and sweet happening over at Andrea’s Easy Vegan Cooking might just be the best ever.  Andrea sure is lucky to have a daughter-in-law that makes such tasty cakes.

Chocolate and Peanut Butter

A Colossal Peanut Butter Cup?  ‘Nuff said, really.  Check out Kristen’s ‘how to’ over at Sugar Skull.

Maple and Pecan

Maple Pecan Oat Scones

Although I’ve never met a scone I didn’t like, Char’s sound particularly delicious.  It must be the combination of maple and pecan.  With the step-by-step photos she provides, I’m wondering why I’m sitting here writing this post instead of making these beauts.

Apple and Cinnamon

Apple Cinnamon Paczki

Alex over at Cloudy with a Chance of Vegan Meatballs made Paczki, a Polish fried dessert, filled in this case with both an apple cinnamon mixture and cream.  Man these look good!

Avocado and Lime

Southwestern Cobb Salad

MoFo Roundup Crew’s very own Mo is at it again, creating another dish that I want to dive into headfirst.  There are so many great flavor combinations in this Southwestern Cobb Salad, avocado and lime being one.

Tomato and Parsley

Ful Mudamms

Nada over at One Arab Vegan gives us the rundown on Ful Mudamms, an Egyptian bean salad consisting of several ingredients including, you guessed it, tomato and parsley.  The entire dish sounds so fresh and delicious, I wish I had a bowl in front of my right now!

Did I leave out your favorite flavor combination?  Tell me about it below!

I’m one of those people who can’t just roll out of bread and eat something. My stomach wakes up about two hours after the rest of my body. Still, I have to have breakfast. I usually eat something pretty light, which in the summer means a green smoothie, and maybe a piece of toast. When the weather starts cooling down, the last thing I want is to chug a glass of frozen fruit.

MoFoers have been cooking up some wonderful cool weather breakfast food. If you’re looking for something savory, check out the Tofu Rancheros that Kristen cooked up over at DC Vegan. She uses Tami’s recipe from American Vegan Kitchen. This would make a great weekend brunch!

If I’m still hungry, I’d have one of Joyfulgirl’s Pumpkin Bagels, or maybe one of the beautiful Tomato Rosemary scone that green light vegan baked up from Vegan Brunch.

I love making a big batch of oatmeal and then just reheating them and adding different toppings. Healthy Slow Cooking shares recipe for Pumpkin Coffeecake and Lemon Raspberry Cheesecake Oatmeal with So Delicious Greek Yogurt. Either of these will keep me full until I hide under my desk with my lunch.

Sometimes I’m in the mood for a big stack of carbs in the morning. I don’t know if I want to eat V.K. Rees’ pumpkin pancakes, or hang one of the lovely photos of them on my wall. I think both. Everything tastes better on a stick, and these adorable heart-shaped waffles from Meet the Wikos are no exception.

The Happy Go Lucky Vegan’s Pumpkin waffles also sound perfect for a crisp fall morning.

Sometimes I just want a doughnut. Unfortunately, I’m not lucky enough to live near Voodoo or Mighty O, but I could certainly whip up these Choconut Doughnuts from tahinitoo.

Sometimes I can’t make up my mind and want a little savory and sweet on my plate. For those days, I’d love this French Toast Sandwich with “Cheezly” Hashbrowns and Spinach Chips from Growing up Veg.

I could also go for the Smoky Soy Curls that Tasty Planet serves up next to a nice stack of fluffy pancakes.

Whatever you decide to start your day with, make it something delicious!

Vegan Mofo Roundup: A Few of My Favourite Things

Vegan Mofo Roundup: A Few of My Favourite Things

As everyone gears up for the month long blogging extravaganza that is Vegan Mofo I found a few posts that were near and dear to what I love so much about the month of vegan food.

Kittens with purees and sausage in balls baked
Smart veggie verses and fresh pumpkin cupcakes
Free vegan giveaways tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things

Sausage Balls from the I-40 Kitchen. I like ballz and I like recipes that take old Southern favourites and veganize them. These are the sausage balls of my youth. Make a batch of 300 and take them to the family reunion.  John will be doing southern all month long, so you’ll have your choice of what to take to Aunt Edna’s 85th birthday shindig.

Humourous verses from Mr. Ape’s World of Crepes. There’s nothing like a good Vegetable Verselet for a Humorous Vegetarian. And if you remember me from last  year, you know I like animals in chef’s hats.

Pumpkin chocolate chip cupcakes at Vegan Food Rocks. This is one of my favorite cupcake recipes from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World. I have a can of pumpkin waiting to be opened so I can have my fill. The temperatures dropped about 20 degrees overnight, so it is time to get my pumpkin on.

Adorable wee kitten at Joyfulgirl’s Cupcakes and Crafts. Oh yes. The wee ears. The tiny paws. I love cats. I love cats looking at homemade pumpkin puree. Put a cat photo on your blog and I am there.


Giveaways all month at Miso for Breakfast! She had giveaways last year and she’s back again. Make some fava-cado dip, pull the cat into your lap and enter to win.
Let the fun begin! Happy Mofo everyone!

I’ll be honest with you, MoFoers: I kind of thought Tuesday might be a bum day to wrap up. I know; it’s judgmental and unfair of me, but I’m an imperfect person. However! I was clearly wrong about Tuesdays, since the MoFoers keep churning out amazing recipes, photos, and writing. Keep it up!

Speaking of amazing, check out this Seitan En Croute from Joni at Just The Food. I’d type more about it, but I’m too busy licking my screen.EnCroute

Rose at Dandelion is taking the tomato-soup-n-grilled-cheeze concept and fancifying it with cheeze croutons and basil. Megan at Down Home Vegan is cooking up some Minnesota Hotdish (including recent vegan culinary craze ingredient: tater tots!) from a family recipe. The Carnal Vegan is cooking up chiogga beets, which I know I’ve always been curious about. They’re pretty!

Over at Happy Vegan Face, Jessy is doing up one of my favorite kinds of things: delicious food from ingredients I probably have in my pantry! In this case, it’s lentil balls, and they look delicious. Claryn from Hell Yeah It’s Vegan whipped up some sparkly, melty, chocolate peppermint cookies that are making me drool as I type. Naomi Rose is killing it with her pumpkin pie recipe (seasonal and delicious!) for The Gluttonous Vegan.

Bex from How To Feed A Vegan lays some smackdown on “happy” and organic meat by appealing to the olive lover in each of us. Andy from In My Vegan Life takes on a personal cookbook challenge of her own, with delicious results. Finally, The Lazy Smurf’s Guide To Life takes a road trip to the organic farm and comes home to whip up some absolutely stunning gumbo! 4025855333_d028c0564a
