I've had the apple, but would love to try the blueberry and that dairy-free pumpkin - yummy!<BR/><BR/>Thanks Suzanne. :)<BR/><BR/>Julie, I can't believe you can even look at pies with any interest at this point! But then again, I guess you've mostly been making sweet pies. This one won't be in ED&BV, but will be in VegNews.<BR/><BR/>Hey Vicki! Funny, how many times my mom said that to us growing up... "if I had a dime for every time I heard it"<BR/><BR/>Hi SpringsandWells, I don't make too many savory pies but now I'm inspired to do so. Easy, and great for potlucks and holidays and such. Oh, yes, those melties do have an addictive quality! :) Glad you love them, thank you. What's with people that don't like chocolate with mint?? (my hubby is one of them)!<BR/><BR/>Thanks Melissa, yeah, it is certainly a great dish for Christmas or parties during the holidays - esp when you don't want to do the faux turkey thing! Thanks for stopping by. :)Dreenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16551890320761504899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19150019.post-54101270631938941112007-08-13T05:47:00.000-07:002007-08-13T05:47:00.000-07:00Wow!

Thanks, as always Dreena, for such delicious recipes! Oh, and I was lucky enough to win some Wholly Wholesome pies last winter and tried pumpkin, apple, blueberry and cherry! Unbelievably good!<BR/>AImeeaimeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15915470244671384660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19150019.post-47219920821989384262007-08-10T06:58:00.000-07:002007-08-10T06:58:00.000-07:003veggies, I like your shopping justification! It'...3veggies, I like your shopping justification! It's good when we have a 'reason'. hey, maybe you'll win next time 'round, just hold on to the winning vibe. :)<BR/><BR/>hiya veggiegirl! Thanks... I LOVE chickpeas, and have a hard time understanding when folks don't like them. They are my fave bean and just can be so versatile. Wholly Wholesome also has graham pie crusts (reg and chocolate) and vegan pies (frozen) - like apple, blueberry, and even pumpkin. I've only had apple, but would love to get my hands on the other flavors!<BR/>Oh, and I *never* feel like making a pastry crust from scratch. :)<BR/><BR/>Thanks mom2wilmo! Those brownies are a huge hit for us and our friends too... chocolatey fudgy goodness. Oh, my sweet tooth! As for the muffins, if you have TEV, try the 'As-You-Like Muffins' recipe, and add about 3-4 tbsp of cranberries to the batter, and grate about 1 1/2 tsp of orange rind into the batter as well - that would do the trick I think. If you don't have TEV, you can try the Orange Poppyseed muffins from Vive, and again add the cranberries into the batter. Those preggo cravings, hey? They totally preoccupy you until YEAH, you get to eat it!<BR/><BR/>Hey veggie vixen! Funny, I didn't think much of combining the cranberries and chickpeas at the time - but yes, it's not a mix we see very often! But yes, it's quite yummy, with some of the walnuts and chickpeas still chunky, and then the tang of chickpeas, and some fresh thyme and parsley in there... mmm!Dreenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16551890320761504899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19150019.post-78970291018318798242007-08-09T18:57:00.000-07:002007-08-09T18:57:00.000-07:00Yeah!
