seasonal plant-based recipes
Anyone else starting to crave bright and fresh flavors? I scored some blood oranges last week and put them to work in a glaze for some tasty scones. If the amazing combination of flavors don’t get you out of a winter funk, then maybe orange flecked bright pink glaze will! Head on over to the Vegan Housewives blog for the full recipe! Oh, and here’s some pictures in case you needed a little encouragement 🙂
Being away from my apartment and regular day to day throws everything out of whack for me. Unfortunately, I always have to be ready for travel at work, and last week was no exception as I had to be in lovely Texarkana, TX all week. On top of being gone for that, I went home to visit family for Easter. Basically, I have no new recipes to share, but, I will be on top of that this weekend along with several other things on my ever-evoloving to-do list. I’m planning a trip to the farmer’s market this weekend in order to secure supplies for some jam-making for the shop, so keep on the lookout next week for something new! I’ve secured a nice camera I can freely borrow, so I’ve also been trying to update some photos in my shop (the one above is a test shot of my chai-spiced apple syrup). Instead of just leaving you with an up-date, I thought I would share some recipes I have been drooling over and recipes I have made recently, courtesy of my fellow food bloggers.
– I made this lovely vegan tomato, squash, and coconut milk bisque from honest fare for dinner last night
– I’ll be making this garnet pilaf from sprouted kitchen later this week
– These spring-y spring rolls with carrot ginger miso sauce from happyolks have me drooling and excited for a trip to the farmer’s market
– I’m thinking this farro salad with grilled endive from the first mess is the perfect way to use some of the dried cranberries beans I bought last week
– I bet this vegan chocolate snack cake from good things grow ought to satisfy my sweet tooth (for a little while at least…)
– For something really indulgent, these raspberry & white chocolate honey almond meal muffins from honey & jam look absolutely delicious
– If you love recipe videos, check out this beautiful one from the roost blog for some white chocolate vanilla bean cups with toasted coconut & pink salt
– And in between trying to make all these delicious recipes, I might try to squeeze in this handmade jewelry display from a beautiful mess
Hope the rest of your week is swell and full of spring-y sunshine!
