Yesterday was spent baking heaps and heaps of cookies, brownies, cake, and cinnamon rolls for Vegan Omaha’s bake sale for Japan: Goodies for Good. The bake sale is this afternoon and I am so excited to see all the wonderful baked goods lined up on tables and ready to fill hungry tummies!
White Chocolate Chip Pecan Cookies and Blueberry White Chocolate Chip Cookies.
We also made regular chocolate chip cookies, double chocolate walnut cookies, oatmeal raisin cookies, ginger cookies, cookies-n-cream brownies, double chocolate gluten-free brownies, and coconut raisin cinnamon rolls!!
Isa and I made a massive mess in her kitchen that progressively worsened as the hours passed:
In between emptying bags of flour and sugar some delicious food was consumed:
Lunch = Veggie Sandwich w/ Side Salad from Daily Grub in Omaha, NE
This sandwich consisted of pepita spread, sauteed red pepper, roasted sweet potato and fresh avocado inside a toasted baguette. I really enjoyed this sandwich! The baguette was chewy and the fillings paired well with one another. I am thinking about recreating this when I get back to Portland so I can remember Omaha with fondness!
Inside the Daily Grub – clean and simple with a chalkboard menu.
Would you believe that up until last night I had never tried sushi? It’s true! Growing up as a picky eater is partly to blame, but it’s mostly because I thought it would be gross. Why did I wait so long?!!
It’s quite possible that a sushi addiction may have blossomed after devouring the above beauties!
Let’s hope that today’s bake sale raises a lot of money for Japan! Keep your fingers crossed please!
Your bakesale cookies look like they have a wonderful texture!
Those are some great sushi pictures! Very nice…maybe I need to have another sushi night…

Good luck at the bake sale!
Good luck with the bake sale – looks like you guys got some nice down and dirty baking done!
Also way to go jumping right in with that sushi. Looks delicious – I especially love the asparagus ones.
I stopped by the bake sale today and picked up some of your brownies….woah. SO good! I’m pretty sure I’d sell my soul for that recipe! LOL
I’m in the process of moving from Omaha to Eugene, OR and I’m so excited to come check out the vegan scene up in Portland :-)
Awwww… Thank you! That means a lot to me :) I am slowly working on writing a vegan brownie cookbook so the recipe will be available eventually!
You will love Oregon!!
You have a fan club in Omaha now!
Kirby? Fizz? Avocado? :)
