Just a little porn I forgot about.

Most of this is stuff I’ve been to lazy to post. I didn’t make any of these recipes up.

Did I tell you my biggest vegan chef crush, Lolo, is coming out with a cookbook? It’s going to be published the guys over at Herbivore. She has a slew of kids from the ppk forum testing for her. I’ve done a few recipes, but I’ve been lazy for the most part. This is her Crispy Sweet N Sour Tofu. I’ll let you know when the book comes out. It’s going to be killer.

So for my friend’s birthday/last day in town, I felt inspired to stay up all night so she could have the one thing she missed since becoming vegan — a good, homemade cinnamon roll. And thanks to rachaelrayforever’s cinnamon roll recipe, Brit got her cinnamon rolls. Warning: the dough for these rises twice, so you definitely have to have time to dedicate to these guys. But man oh man — they’re totally worth it. There was also a cream cheese icing involved, but they didn’t last long enough to get photos.

Rough Day Donuts

I have been totally stressed out and kind of crazy lately, so tonight I decided that I needed to do something happy. And it doesn’t get much happier than these donut holes. I think I’ll take these to my Bio partners tomorrow morning.

I used the legendary Lolo’s mini donut test kitchen recipe. I halfed it and used a chocolate mold to make the little shapes. They’re, at most, one inch in diameter. Too cute.

Another reason I love radio

You know, I have my first exam of the semester tomorrow; I have over 30 pages of writing due in the next 2 weeks; I have writer’s block. So what am I doing at 10:58 pm when I should be sleeping or writing or registering for the next semester?

…Okay, so I’m making roasted red pepper hummus. BUT! I am also listening to my new infatuations: Mat & Dave.

These Canadian guys host an adorable vegan podcast called “Lets Get Baked With Mat & Dave.” Each week they make a recipe with a featured guest (generally a band or something), play catchy music & make me hungry & inspired. I suggest you subscribe and fail all your finals like me. (I hope that feed works; if it doesn’t, just go to the website.)

Oh! There’s also a backlog on their website of all the episodes that feature a ton of yummy recipes.

And vegan baking boys are so cute.

Sushi Picnic!

Yesterday, I made a ton of sushi and summer rolls and took it all to the ampitheatre at my school with a friend.

It was my normal (soy-marinated tofu, avocado, cucumber, carrot, green onion + sesame seed) roll, which I now have officially named the “Kawaii Roll” (which means “cute” roll).
