Salad Time

I really do love eating giant salads. I just don’t always feel like making them. So if I do feel like it, I go with it. This week has definitely been saladoriffic. Romaine is my favorite lettuce. It lasts pretty long in the fridge and stays nice and crispy. Carrots are always there. Red, orange or yellow bell pepper. After that, it’s really up to whim and what catches my eye at the market. This week I also had radishes, cucumber, summer squash, and cucumber. Then a sprinkling of almonds or walnuts. And this week I added protein, tofu or a fake chicken patty. All were tasty and satisfying. Maybe they make up for the parfait I ate and the chocolate chocolate chip coconut muffins I made. Probably not.

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!
