amy eats vegetables

She’s back!

The wedding is over, and I have lots of new kitchen toys to play with. I used my new KitchenAid mixer to make some salted chocolate chip cacao nib vegan cookies. I’ll be back more once the thank you cards are done, but here’s a taste of what’s to come.

Anonymous asked: where did amy go?

i was busy planning my wedding, but now i‘m married, so maybe soon i‘ll have time to come back!

myoddspace asked: I was checking out the 'vegan' tag for new blogs to follow. The first one that pops up had an amazing picture of vegan s'mores and the title "Amy eats Vegetables" And as my name is also Amy and the idea of vegan s'more pretty much knocked my socks off I figured this to be a sign. I love your blog.

Thank you!

Hopefully I’ll post something else to knock your socks off soon! Tonight, I’m going to an all vegan sushi place, which is delicious and has some beautiful plating, so stay tuned for that next!

ehutchrk asked: Just wondering, for the vegan mofo cookie giveaway, did you want us to inbox you our address or how is it going to work? Thanks : )

I will inbox the winner to ask for their address once I choose.

I’ll pick a winner on November 1, once Vegan Mofo is over!

Thank you for entering :) Good luck!

That last picture wasn’t that appetizing, so here’s a treat for you- VEGAN S’MORES. This is from Mohawk Bend in Echo Park (Los Angeles). You’re welcome.

Almost twice baked potatoes. The skins fell apart when I tried to scoop them out, but they were still yummy. Daiya, broccoli, tempeh bacon- oh yeah! Recipe from the new Spork-Fed Cookbook.

Last time I went to Mohawk Bend, they were out of the vegan burger. I was disappointed because I love veggie burgers and I wanted to try it. This time, I got it, but found myself wishing I hadn’t… The flavor wasn’t bad but it was gray and mushy. I found myself really tempted by that pizza in the background! Next time, I’ll stick to vegan pizza or the amazing Flash Gordon salad. Dessert was great though- pics to come!

Vegan apple pie milkshakes. Sounds amazing right? Sadly, I was disappointed- these were way too sweet! This was the first recipe I tried out of the new Spork-Fed Cookbook by the sisters of SporkFoods, and although the final product wasn’t my thing, this was not a total loss! I learned a great shortcut to apple pie- mix up your apple filling and bake on in puff pastry for 15 minutes- so easy and the pie part was delicious!

EDIT: All you have to do is re-blog to win!

Yum. Those cookies look pretty good, huh? Want some of your very own to eat? 

Re-blog this post… that’s all!

I originally was using this to help promote a contest I was in, but I realized that was not in the spirit of vegan mofo and that contest was stressing me out… so I just want to share vegan cookies with the world!

More info: Cookies are vegan salted chocolate chip cookies. Can be made with white, whole wheat, spelt, or gluten-free flours. Nuts can be added upon request! Also, winners must live in the US, or else the cookies won’t be delicious by the time you get them :(

Lentil walnut pate from the Spork-Fed book launch party in Hollywood last Sunday. Jenny and Heather are the reason I’m vegan, so I am thrilled for them! Go buy the book and support the SporkFoods sisters!
