Veg*an Potluck Pics

So fun!

I'm baaaaaaack.

The trip was a lot of fun! Well, it was all fun, except for the food. The cruise had crappy food (for the most part) and because we were traveling with my bf's family we only dined at a few veg friendly places. oh, well. Here's some pics:

Matt and I in Jamaica:



Me on formal night:



I have more pics I will post hopefully soon.

On to other things... I have joined Sparkpeople. The 30 day challenge didn't work out, so I am giving it another go-I wanna slim down and I am determined to do so! If any one has any get healthy tips, send them my way!

Also, I have a Matt and Nat purse, brand new that I don't need. Well, I thought I needed it when I bought it...but, you know. If you are interested in buying it off me, I will give you a great price. Shoot me an e-mail and I'll send you details and a pic of the purse.

I am looking forward to cooking more and blogging more, so stay tuned. I will be attending a small vegan potluck on Sunday, so I will be sure to post pics of that.

Happy cooking and have a great weekend!

One more before I go...

Here's some baba ganoush, grilled veggies and pita bread I made quite awhile back for a get together to watch the Phoenix Suns. The recipe can be found here. Matt said, and I quote "This is the BEST thing you've ever made!" I must say, it was delicious. I can't take much of the credit, though. Thanks Susan!

Before I go, I wanted to remind you all to write a letter to the The New York Times giving your opinion on Nina Planck's article, "Death by Veganism." Let's all make sure our voices are heard just like these wonderful vegans have. Oh, and check out some of these beautiful and healthy vegan children.

Have a great next couple of weeks!

I won something!

I won a free copy of "The Damn Tasty Vegan Baking Guide!" YAY!

If you haven't heard of it, you must be living under a rock! Go check it out. Buy yourself a copy (and one for a friend) before they are sold out!




Also, check out Kris' blog...one of my favorites!

Thanks Kris :]

VEGAN Alfredo Love

Isn't she beautiful? This is Alfredo Stroganoff with Marinated Bellas courtesy of Lachesis from the Post Punk kitchen forums. I still have to try her baked seitan that everyone is talking (or blogging) about.

It has been a craaaazy past couple of weeks, with graduation and all...but, I should have a few more pics to share before my 2 week vacation!! That's right, two weeks. The longest vacation I have ever had. We are going on a Caribbean cruise and then to Florida for a week. Which brings me to a question: Who can recommend vegetarian/vegan friendly places in FL?

Oh, and EXCITING news! I have met the one and only Leslie! So, maybe some pics will come from us getting together again.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSS

I was accepted into graduate school!! I will be starting work on my MSW in the fall.
