Atlanta Vegan Bake Sale 2012

Woohoo! It’s World Wide Vegan Bake Sale time again – the best time of the year! This year the Atlanta Vegan Bake Sale will be raising money to kick off the first Atlanta Veg Fest in November. It’s about dang time Atlanta had a veg fest, right? And you can help make it happen by making and donating baked goods, purchasing baked goods, or a little of each.

This year we have a unique opportunity to reach tons of non-veg*ns. The bake sale will be held April 28th 12-4pm outside of Dough Bakery. Yes, that’s during the Inman Park Festival. Bakers are still needed. Just email Leigh if you’d like to bake (leighsaluzzi(at)yahoo.com).

Get all the details here and spread the word!

Falafel salad, out

The falafel salad I made a while back with the Trader Joe’s frozen falafel balls was totally inspired by the falafel salad you can get at Ali Baba’s in Little Five Points. Greens, tabouli and more covered in chopped up falafel balls, tahini sauce (ask for it instead of yogurt to make it vegan) and hot sauce. If you get the platter, you can choose a side. This time I got dolmas.

Trader Joe’s Chicken-Less Mandarin Orange Morsels

Trader Joe's Chicken-Less Mandarin Orange MorselsEvery once in a while, new vegan products show up at Trader Joe’s. Recently there were the falafel balls. And the latest find was these Chicken-less Mandarin Orange Morsels. Yes, more lazy food!

So, I made some brown rice and steamed up some frozen Trader Joe’s mixed vegetables and baked up the nuggets. Pretty lazy! And really tasty! The chickeny bits had a nice texture and the orange sauce was good. It seems like more and more lazy food is happening these days…
