4th of july meal

It was just Mark and I (with our doggies) this year. So, we caved in and made a typical American feast (vegan, of course)

Oh, and there was the tastiest green salad but I didn't take a photo. A salad is a salad is a salad, you know?


homemade chocolate chip cookies, for Mark



yummy barbecue chips (from Whole Foods) and a lemonade spritzer (with vodka)



Tofurkey kielbasa dogs with spicy veg chili

un petit dejeuner a dimanche

Mark always makes the best Sunday breakfasts.

This one is fried potatoes, tempeh "bacon" and tofu scramble. It is soo good. Especially in a burrito with black beans!

simple agave nectar cupcakes

These are dusted in powdered sugar because my attempt at making the suggested frosting failed.
In fact, it was more like play-doh frosting, as opposed to the creamy custardy frosting Isa described.





Also, as we learned (the hard way) that these cupcakes are best eaten the day they are baked. The second day is pushing it. By the third day, it's like sawdust stuck to the roof of your mouth. But, the taste of these cupcakes are richer and more complex than the standard cocoa cupcake.
