During this month that was MoFo, I’ve been writing up weekly roundups at the end of each week to recap what transpired. As you can see, I missed this past weekend, what with exciting events (both the “exciting-scary” and “exciting-fun” categories) taking place between Thursday and Saturday. And since Vegan MoFo actually ends today, I […]
Vegan MoFo
Borscht to Beet Stress*
*Okay, it’s a horrible pun. But I”m an English teacher. We’re genetically programmed to come up with groaners like that. [Sorry about the bad lighting. . . by the time I got this photo, the sun–and the HH’s car–were long gone.] Hope those of you who celebrated had a great Thanksgiving yesterday. And for the rest […]

A (Very) Belated Birthday for DDD: Musings on Three Years of Blogging* and Vegan MoFo Roundup #3
Another week of Vegan MoFo is over–and I’m still standing (or, to be more precise, sitting here at my desk). I can hardly believe how quickly the past three weeks have whizzed by! I must admit, I am stretching more than culinary muscles with this event. My usual modus operandi for blog posts is to let […]
Chocolate Nut Bark
According to the media, we should all be making homemade gifts this year, what with the economy as bad as it is. True, many of us may find ourselves frugally filling jars with mom’s granola recipe; mixing up homemade hot chocolate and bagging it with ribbons; placing shortbread and gingersnaps toe to toe in cellophane-lined […]
Roasted Chestnut and Parsnip Soup
[Looking for a lavish, indulgent-tasting, and easy to prepare soup for the season? Roasted Chestnut and Parsnip Soup is gorgeous and silky, all while being vegan, sugar-free, gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free, egg free, soy-free, nut-free, yeast-free, and low glycemic. Suitable for Stage 2 and beyond on an anti-candida diet.] For several years after I graduated university, I’d return […]
Coco-Nut Shortbread Buttons
[Aren’t they just cute as a. . . . ] I’m late! I’m late! (Oh. Sorry to alarm you–no, I didn’t mean “that” way. I’m waaaaay too old for that!). What I meant was, “late in posting this recipe.” You see, I had hoped to get it posted yesterday for a special blog event, but […]
