Corn Fritters

I used two of the fresh ears of corn to make fresh corn fritters from......you guessed it- Vegan with a Vengeance. Yikes, I do have other cookbooks. They were so good, sweet and very eggy in taste and texture.

Chickpea Broccoli Casserole

I used the broccoli and carrots from the box to make Vegan with a Vengeance's Chickpea Broccoli Casserole. I was concerned that it was going to be plain as the only seasoning involved is salt but it was suprisingly flavorful! I served it with a green salad using the box's lettuce, cucumber, and heirloom tomato. I fed the whole family (the kids ate it all!) and still had over 3/4's of it left!

Fall Baking!

We picked some more apples in Julian this past weekend so I used up 2 pounds of granny smith in this Gingerbread Apple Pie from Vegan with a Vengeance. Wow- it is super yummy but really needs to be made with super tart apples because the gingerbread crust and crumble topping are really sweet. I will definitely make this again! Also pictured are some chocolate cupcakes with vegan buttercream frosting tinted orange. They were for my daughter's Halloween party at school but she was the only one who ate one! What the heck?? Some other lady brought some crappy store bought cupcakes with a little toy ring on the top so those got picked first. Whatever- no animals were harmed in the making of my cupcakes! Do you like my new platter? Well too bad- you can't have it!!! My friend owns a Color Me Mine and she made it for me. It has blood dripping down the pedestal and the plate and 5 dangling skulls. I am in love.
