Writing for True/Slant

Hiya guys! Thought I'd let you know that I've just starting writing for True/Slant, and you can check out my first post here. My facebook friends will get new post links automatically through my status updates.

My T/S posts will be a little different than my Blogger posts, including some of my thoughts and experiences as a vegan mom and also observations as a long-time vegan. I hope you'll enjoy reading... :)

Back with a food pic soon, for sure!

For the Chocolate Lover on Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to all you devoted, loving veg dads out there! Since I always like to make my hubby a sweet treat on Father's Day, I decided to share a NEW recipe with you all for the special dads in your lives.

Remember this "Chocolate Dipped Strawberries" Pie?

You got it, folks! Link through for the recipe. Strawberries are in season, it's the perfect time to make this pie (and, it's easy enough to make this morning and enjoy later this evening).

Enjoy, and have a beautiful Father's Day. :)

Recipe Post: White Bean Hummus with Fresh Thyme and Basil

With fresh herbs springing up in our gardens and markets, I thought you might like this recipe for White Bean Hummus with Fresh Thyme and Basil (from ed&bv)... it's one of my favorites!

Go get the recipe!

Enjoy... :)

Breakfast Cookies

Finally, I'm back with a food post! Before I begin, to all of you that left kind and congratulatory wishes on my last post, I thank you and appreciate your sentiments. Life is still a bit rocky day to day with baby adjustments, but it's time for a food update, so let's get going!

This is a new cookie recipe, and it's kinda' special - at least imo! Special because they are flour-less (no wheat, spelt, or barley flour) and are made without sugar (they do have brown rice syrup and maple syrup, but no unrefined sugar). (*Okay, I sometimes include a sprinkling of carob chips, but you may omit those if you so choose!) These cookies also have nut butter (or you can use a seed butter), ground salba, dried fruit, and coconut oil. With all these nutritionally superb ingredients, and because they aren't as sweet as dessert cookies, I've named these Breakfast Cookies.

And, really, these cookies can be part of a busy morn' breakfast. Why not, when you're eating so many healthful ingredients? Maybe start with a green smoothie, and after a couple of these cookies, you'll be powered up for the morning!

I love that our girls don't realize just how healthy these cookies are when they munch on one. For them, simply a cookie... for mom, a nutritional big-hitter disguised as a treat!
