These are much like traditional shortbread, slightly crunchy and just a touch sweet. And they’re chocolatey.
Week 1 of VeganMofo is winding down… have you checked out all the awesome going on yet?!

Lazy Day with a VeganMoFo Survey
My girl, Dot, and her gorilla friend
I don’t know how I would make it through an entire VeganMoFo without having a survey or two to bail me out on my days when I can’t properly blog. Keri from “I Eat Trees” posted this little gem the other day, so I jumped on the chance to use up one of my “lazy cards”.
I know it’s only the fourth day.
Chocolate Cherry Amaretto Milkshake Shots (slurps?)
A while back (like a LONG while back) I was contacted by the friendly folks at Luna and Larry’s asking if I would be interested in doing a product review of their Coconut Bliss ice cream. Oh, man… was I ever!
Super Easy Winter Squash Stew
If you already happen to have some roasted squash lying around, this recipe is extremely simple, and if you don’t— roasting up a squash only adds a thin layer of complexity to the dish. I enjoy making these types of dinners – especially when I am having a “lazy” day. Which, happens more often than not around my kitchen. :)
This stew is perfect comfort food, and it makes enough to serve a hungry family of four.
Vegan MoFo Begins!
Today marks the first day of VeganMoFo!
Just look at the cute little Sweet Dumpling Squash up there, waiting patiently to be stuffed and blogged about….
Hummus Pizza with Roasted Peppers
If you love hummus and have never had the pleasure of using it as a base for your pizza, I highly recommend trying it out. It works especially well with roasted peppers and an abundance of ingredients. I decided to roast my own peppers and make my own crust, so I opted for the deli-bought hummus -high in cumin content. The more flavorful the hummus the yummier the pizza. The crust recipe below compliments the hummus quite nicely. But feel free to save lots of time by purchasing crust, hummus, and roasted peppers in lieu of making your own. I am happy to say that this pizza was a sensation last night for dinner.
Cinnamon Peanut Brittle
Today I had an overwhelming craving for something cinnamony. I also had some freshly purchased raw Spanish peanuts sitting on my kitchen counter. Even though I have made peanut brittle many, many times, I had never thought to change the recipe even the teensiest bit. So, I went all out and added cinnamon.
I know. I am terribly creative.
I realize that vegan peanut brittle isn’t exactly hard to come by, nor am I the slightest bit unique in thinking of adding such a common spice to such a common candy. But, if you have never tried it before, do so. It is really, really good.
