The absence of treats in my apartment leads to sassy behavior from a certain somebody. Today was no exception.
Golden Vanilla Cupcakes from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World
I added about a 1/2 teaspoon of lemon extract to the batter, dusted the baked cupcakes with powdered sugar, and topped them off with blueberries Tim and I picked a few weeks ago. Simple and satisfying.
Last night I went to a small potluck for the knitting group I joined earlier in July (a vegan knitting group – too cool, no?). My mind turned to fog when I tried to figure out what to bring… Cookies are my favorite, but savory goodness is also a top contender. I opted for these:
Pizza Croissants
-Make a batch of pizza dough
-Roll out the dough into a circle
-Cut the circle into eight wedges
-Spread sauce on each wedge
-Top with fillings (I used Teese, crumbled and seasoned tempeh, red pepper, olives, and mushrooms)
-Roll up each wedge into a croissant-ish shape
-Sprinkle with sesame and poppy seeds
-Bake in a cooperative oven (I used a pizza stone)
I also made a batch of Twisted Snicksters because cookies control the inner workings of my mind. Yes cookie. No cookie. Maybe cookie. See? There’s no escape!
EDIT: Ooooops! I completely forgot to mention the delicious food that the folks in my knit group made. There was a green salad with beans, carrots, and corn; a potato gratin; and an orzo pasta salad with pine nuts, parsley, lemon, and artichokes (my first taste of artichoke – so good!).
