Cookie Time

Most of yesterday was spent busting out cookies for Danielle Distefano’s art show opening at Youngblood. If you didn’t come down last night you missed the cookies, but the show runs through August 31st. So you can still check out all the lovely ladies. And I dare you to get out of Youngblood without buying something.

So what about those cookies? These cute little guys are Almond and Rosewater cookies. I even made Kevin decorate some of them.

Kevin suggested we do some thumbprint cookies. These are kind of a pecan shortbread filled with strawberry jam. All filled by Kevin!

Sometimes, you just have to make something ridiculously decadent. Chick-O-Stick white chocolate chip cookies are absolutely decadent. Where the heck do you get vegan white chocolate chips? From Cosmo’s of course! Chick-O-Sticks? Your local gas station or convenience store.

These were a last minute decision. How can you make a bunch of cookies without including any chocolate? So I made a batch of cappuccino cookies with chocolate chips.

A Most Excellent Bake Sale

The Atlanta Vegan Bake Sale this past Sunday was amazing! We raised just over $700 for Catsnip! Thanks to Leigh, Ken, Kevin, Britney, Steph, Ashley, Lisa, Idalys & Howell and Lillian at Criminal Records for helping make it happen! Oh, and all of you that came by and picked up goodies.

And here are my contributions to the bake sale.

Check out Leigh’s set of pics from the sale for more food porn.

Our humble Atlanta Vegan Bake Sale got a mention in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution! Section D, Page 2.

Bake Sale Benefitting Catsnip Sunday

The Atlanta edition of the Worldwide Vegan Bake Sale is happening this Sunday, June 21st! Come by and see us noon – 4pm in front of Criminal Records in Little Five Points and pick up yummy vegan baked goods. The proceeds go to Catsnip, a mobile low-cost feline spay/neuter clinic. Steph Timms created the awesome flyer you see above. Feel free to post on your blog or print ’em out and spread ’em around. Higher quality files available here.

Tomorrow is going to be baking day for me. I know I’m making little hand pies, fruit and savory, and some whoopie pies. And some other things. I’m just not sure what yet. Maybe pretzels. Or I might keep it simple and just do the first two things, but lots of them. We’ll see.

Grover here is not just a handsome cat, he’s a Catsnip customer!

Vegan Potlucks Rule

Whoops. This is a little tardy. I guess I’m going to get points off on my grade for that. So I hosted the last potluck for our vegan lunch group back on May 30th. Our theme was Latin American cuisine. As always, we had a lovely spread.

3 salsas, chips, guacamole, nopales (cactus)

fruit salad, corn and black bean salad, quinoa salad, horchata
