We’re off to see the Wizard…..

We’re off to see the Wizard…..

Happy Halloween y’all.

Whilst us Northern Hemisphere MoFo’ers are celebrating Halloween and getting ready to cosy down for the Winter, our Ozzie pals on the other side of the world are in full spring mode getting ready for their summer!

So to honour our upside down vegan MoFo’ers, this final day of MoFo round-ups is all about Oz.

I know Cupcake Kitteh’s post  got a mention yesterday but I couldn’t do an Oz round-up without including her!

I always look forward to Mandee’s last MoFo post, and I mean that in the nicest way possible!!

Not only does she delight us with photos of her AWESOME vegan food but we get a bonus kitteh in every photo too!

Vegan food and cats, what could be better!!

Green Gourmet Giraffe is one of my favourite bloggers and not just because she loves giraffes as much as I do either. Take a look at her amazing Pumpkin Damper (I didn’t even know what damper was before now!)

Everyone is rounding up their MoFo 2012, be sure to check out Vegan Sparkles’ post today

There’s a Bat Kitteh!

Mel from Veganise This has been doing a virtual Round the World MoFo this year and these Australian Jelly Cakes had me licking the monitor.

Finally I’d like to give a shout out to Veganthused who was in a minor car accident midst MoFo. Happy to hear  you’re well on the way to recovery.

So that’s the final round up for yet another AWESOME MoFo. Well done to all you MoFo’ers, you’ve done us all proud once again.

Be sure to check the MoFo blog regularly as there are all sorts of goings on happening throughout the year.

Friday Round up – I spy with my little eye

Friday Round up – I spy with my little eye

Gosh, it doesn’t seem possible that this is my last MoFo 2011 round up, where did the time go? Oh yeah, checking out all the awesome MoFo’ers that’s where!
This year has been so much fun, as all MoFo’s are. I’ve loved discoverng new bloggers, reacquainting myself with old bloggers and sharing a cup of chai with regular blogging buddies.
Here’s some of my favourite MoFo’ing that I spied today.

First up is this lovely little tidbit of wisdom from Janet over at The Taste Space

vegan food does not need to be a recreation of something dairy or meat-laden. It can just be. Wonderful, in all its glory. Nameless.

I really like that.
She also made these AWESOME Besan Chillas. Mmmm YUM!
I like those too.

Besan Chillas

Let’s talk about BALLS!
Lisa’s balls to be precise.
Her balls are what grabbed my attention first, but this little quote made me chuckle too;

“There is nothing more Australian than spending time in someone else’s country”~ Anonymous

I LOVE this quote so much because it’s so true, whenever I have travelled there is always, guaranteed, either a group of Australians or a lone Australian, they’s some hardcore travellers so they are.
And some of my best friends are Australian who I never would have met had they not loved travelling so much so I’m glad they do.
Anyway back to Lisa’s balls.

Raw mango, date, and sunflower tropical energy balls

This basic agave-sweetened spice cake, with a layer of pears on the bottom, top, and sides over at Bite me (I’m vegan) might be basic but it looks blinking AMAZING and I’m loving the spice combo.

Spiced Pear Cake

Moira really impressed me with her bread baking over at An Auckland Vegan. Not only is this so gorgeous looking I can almost smell it, but it only took 5 mins to prepare (plus rise time and bake time, but even so!).

Five minute bread

Vegan Angela’s been at it again, Raw Pumpkin Cheesecake anyone??
Awesome picture tutorial as well.

Raw Pumpkin Cheesecake

And finally let’s say hello to this cheeseburger from The Compassionate Cook.

Hello!

Hasta pronto guapos

Friday Round up – What a wonderful world

Seeing as how global Vegan MoFo is an all that, I thought it would be great to share some of the global cuisines we have going on across MoFoLand this Friday.
