Feat

Unspike the Punch

Circulate healthy alternatives. Like vegan cake. Don't tell anyone. This feat popped out of the devious mind of SandyLiz, but apparently others have been doing it for a long time.... Bonus points if party-goers leave only crumbs and ask for the recipe.

Mwahaha, I have a plan for this. It involves disgusting amounts of chocolate :D

Well, I made butternut squash (and didn't put in any butter or cream).  I loved it but everyone else went for the good stuff.  Oh well...  leftovers anyone? LOL

Did it on thanksgiving (lasagna with soy and spinach) and it tasted better than the meaty 'real thing'.

Here is the recipe for the amazing vegan pumpkin cheesecake I made over Thanksgiving - I already have a request to make it for other family members at the end of the month!

I was preparing dinner for my boss so instead of fried food, a greasy burger, or some other nasty gutbomb, I pan seared a blackened chicken breast (with all fat trimmed) in olive oil with garlic, and served it on a whole wheat hogie roll with lettuce, tomato, red onion, and low-fat vegan pepperjack.

He had no idea and LOVED it. I did too if I can say so...

vegan pumpkin bread at vonhottie's calendar launch party!

Done it twice already and the first week of December's not over.  A lovely pear & low-fat ricotta parfait for Thanksgiving to counteract that evil pumpkin pie and a vegan spelt cake for my friend's birthday today.

Brought vegan pumpkin oatmeal chocolate chip cookies to a cookie exchange.

I made black bean brownies and a lightened chicken curry dish for a pot-luck dinner on the weekend. Everyone seemed to like them!

Prune puree in brownies. Nuff said.

The downfall was that I told my boss and my coworkers what was in it BEFORE they tried it. They all had gas faces while taking the first bite, of course. But it was good!

my pb and choco obsession continues.  i made wheat and dairy free brownies with a pb icing!  soo rich and fudgy..mmm yum.  No one knew the difference thanks to Pamela's baking products.  Next time I want to make the batter without oil...even healthier.  :)

Brought whole wheat and bran-laced shortbread cookies to the office potluck yesterday. I don't think they were the biggest hit of the night, but people ate them and nobody made that "ew, healthy" face.

More importantly (I think) I freaking LOVE them. Quite possibly my new favorite recipe - they're like Hob Nobs on crack. I've successfully unspiked myself!

brownies made with nonfat yogurt for the company holiday potluck!

I made a chocolate-orange cake, from Fat-Free Vegan Kitchen and took it to a co-worker's holiday party.

It got rave reviews. Plus, it's super-easy to make.

Okay, I'm going to try the black bean brownies for our Boxing Day bbq!  :)

I made a blueberry clafouti (flognarde?) for my office holiday pot-luck.

Here's a photo of last-year's one...
