Iron Cupcake Entry!!

So, I’m back from vacation. I took my older kids to Maine for a week, and brought along my gay boyfriend and my mother, in true hag fashion.
Ah, Iron Cupcake. I’ve been thinking about you.
My friend, the Milwaukee Cupcake Queen is hosting a challenge called Iron Cupcake: Earth and I decided to join in on [...]

Foodness, Part Deux

Woohoo! I love vegan food! Here are some more lame-ass pictures of the food I ate, only I don’t think it’s lame because I was eating it. Here’s some roasted cauliflower with sauce and pan-fried seitan.
If you’ve never had seitan, it’s made from the gluten of wheat flour or something like that. I can’t [...]

Foodness, Part One

I made a trip to my local grocery last week when I couldn’t make it to the farmer’s market and surprisingly, vegetables were not horribly overpriced. In fact, most of the veggies I wanted were on sale. I bought up a giant bagful, came home to peruse my cookbooks, and picked out a bunch of [...]

Vegan Mac and Cheese

This recipe is adapted from Dreena Burton’s mac and cheese recipe using raw nuts as a base for the cream sauce. I know what you’re thinking. Gross. I thought that too, I promise. However, I decided I can’t really call something gross until I have actually had it on my tongue and been grossed out [...]

Another Bridal Shower

Can you believe it? someone actually found my website and called to order! I was shocked, too, honestly. I put up that website so my friends and family members could all get a good laugh out of my rudeness. I had no idea someone would actually take any of it serious.
Alas, along came Jan, searching [...]

Yo Gabba Gabba

So, usually, I write a pretty low key vegan cooking blog. Once in a while, I throw in stuff that’s not vegan just because it’s my blog and I’ll do what I damn well please. However, what I’m about to post is not at all about food. It’s about a favorite television show in my [...]

Iron Cupcake- Earth and Whoopie Pies

First up, a quick offering of gratitude to Natalie of Bakeanddestroy for giving me a shout out during her interview with Cakespy. That was super cool and not expected at all. We have kind of an odd history, so thank you my friend. Much love.
Also, these are the whoopie pies I made from Hannah Kaminsky’s [...]
