Divvies / Allergen-stricken & Vegans Unite
I’m always on the hunt for new vegan items and brands! If they happen to be new vegan chocolate chip cookies, well even better. The story of Divvies is much like many of the allergen-free baking companies… someone wanting to make sure the allergen-stricken has satisfying and yummy treats. Being a vegan, I appreciate the [...]
Giving It Away
Still getting acclimated with my breadmaker, I’ve learned that I can barely put a dent in a 2 lb. loaf during the week. My olive and kale-pesto loafs had to find new life as croutons and, given my limited use of croutons, new homes. Determined to not waste them I tripped to an office building [...]
Vegan Linden’s Cookies
Do you remember these packaged cookies? I sure do. I loved them as a child. My mom used to bring them home from her job. I devoured them slowly, breaking off portions of each of the three cookies’ circumferences. I placed each piece on my tongue, like communion. Years later I found my high school cafeteria [...]
Christmas Cookie Marathon!
I had to be very selective about who received a holiday cookie care package this year. Next year, when I am through studying to be a master of the universe, you’ll all get them. The chocolate chip cookie is a must in any cookie assortment. Using Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar‘s recipe I got [...]

I found a very simple recipe for… Banana Coconut French Toast2 ripe bananas, mashed1 cup coconut milk3/4 cup soy [...]
My First Etsy Order/A Characteristic Over-disclosure
As my sidebar over there annouces, I have an Etsy shoppe now. Though I am mostly selling my photography, I do have some vegan treats listed (as well as photographs of vegan treats). I sold my first batch of cookies today… to my mom! Of course, I couln’t really charge her so I guess it [...]
Christmas Vegan Cookie Bake-a-thon
Sugar Cookies These were certainly the most time consuming. Using this recipe from blogger couple John & Kristie I churned out 36 glorious evergreens, doused them with the sweet almond icing and dipped them into a pool of nonpareils. Sweet sugar overload! And just in time as one of 2009′s food goals focuses on the sweet [...]
