Thanksgiving Dinner

This thanksgiving I spent with my family, and it was entirely vegan except for a small turkey breast. He claimed vegan food “tastes like sawdust and cardboard.” It made us all laugh. Especially when he in-haled the Brussels sprouts and potatoes.

Whole Foods Takeout

My wife brought us home a surprise last night. On her way home, she stopped at Whole Foods and bought some tastiness from the deli.

We split the beet burger (upper right). It was ok. She liked it a lot more than I did. The texture was nice, but the flavor didn’t appeal to me. In the upper left, was the wild rice and cranberry roast. The pastry crust was awesome as was the “meat”. The cranberry/wild rice middle was just ok; I thought a bit of a let down with how awesome the crust was. The roasted harvest vegetables were awesome. She asked the girl for extra Brussels sprouts too. yum. The veggies were my favorite from this takeout expedition.

After dinner we dove into one of the FOUR vegan pumpkin pies she bought. Apparently, there were only five left, so she bought four. LOL. Into the freezer they go. The pie was tasty.

Vegan Cupcakes at Ethique Nouveau

Yesterday, we went to a Meetup to enjoy some tasty cupcakes at Ethique Nouveau which claims to be the only 100% vegan store in the area. I would have to agree with them on that one. I can’t think of another.

Funny Comic

I think this comic is funny: lurking variable

PS: I have no idea how many days it has been for me. :-)

Veggie Enchiladas

While I was browsing the web the other day, I stumbled across some black bean sweet potato enchiladas. They sounded really good, so I set about creating my own recipe. The result is delicious vegan enchiladas with lots of flavor and texture.

Carrot Cake with Walnuts

This weekend my wife was craving cake. It also happened to be the third anniversary of my motorcycle blog. We set out to find some vegan cake, as I wasn’t in the mood to heat up the house while baking.

Extra Bananas? Make Bread!

After our regular weekend shopping we had some extra bananas in the kitchen. The ones from last weekend were getting very ripe and just begging to be made into something. Have extra bananas? Make bread of course!
