VeganMoFo Thurs. Roundup: A Match Made in the Kitchen

VeganMoFo Thurs. Roundup: A Match Made in the Kitchen

Comments 17 comments

Howdy MoFoing Fiends!

VeganMoFo 2011 is off to a great start, full of so many tasty dishes and lots of lovely comments floating around the blogosphere.  As I make my way through each and every post (Ha!), I can’t help but notice that there are some really delightful flavor combinations coming out of your kitchens.   Here are a few that caught the attention of my (somewhat American) palate.

Lemon and Blueberry

Lemon Pound Cake with Blueberry Topping

The marriage of tart and sweet happening over at Andrea’s Easy Vegan Cooking might just be the best ever.  Andrea sure is lucky to have a daughter-in-law that makes such tasty cakes.

Chocolate and Peanut Butter

A Colossal Peanut Butter Cup?  ‘Nuff said, really.  Check out Kristen’s ‘how to’ over at Sugar Skull.

Maple and Pecan

Maple Pecan Oat Scones

Although I’ve never met a scone I didn’t like, Char’s sound particularly delicious.  It must be the combination of maple and pecan.  With the step-by-step photos she provides, I’m wondering why I’m sitting here writing this post instead of making these beauts.

Apple and Cinnamon

Apple Cinnamon Paczki

Alex over at Cloudy with a Chance of Vegan Meatballs made Paczki, a Polish fried dessert, filled in this case with both an apple cinnamon mixture and cream.  Man these look good!

Avocado and Lime

Southwestern Cobb Salad

MoFo Roundup Crew’s very own Mo is at it again, creating another dish that I want to dive into headfirst.  There are so many great flavor combinations in this Southwestern Cobb Salad, avocado and lime being one.

Tomato and Parsley

Ful Mudamms

Nada over at One Arab Vegan gives us the rundown on Ful Mudamms, an Egyptian bean salad consisting of several ingredients including, you guessed it, tomato and parsley.  The entire dish sounds so fresh and delicious, I wish I had a bowl in front of my right now!

Did I leave out your favorite flavor combination?  Tell me about it below!

I’m one of those people who can’t just roll out of bread and eat something. My stomach wakes up about two hours after the rest of my body. Still, I have to have breakfast. I usually eat something pretty light, which in the summer means a green smoothie, and maybe a piece of toast. When the weather starts cooling down, the last thing I want is to chug a glass of frozen fruit.

MoFoers have been cooking up some wonderful cool weather breakfast food. If you’re looking for something savory, check out the Tofu Rancheros that Kristen cooked up over at DC Vegan. She uses Tami’s recipe from American Vegan Kitchen. This would make a great weekend brunch!
Tofu Rancheros

If I’m still hungry, I’d have one of Joyfulgirl’s Pumpkin Bagels, or maybe one of the beautiful Tomato Rosemary scone that green light vegan baked up from Vegan Brunch.

I love making a big batch of oatmeal and then just reheating them and adding different toppings. Healthy Slow Cooking shares recipe for Pumpkin Coffeecake and Lemon Raspberry Cheesecake Oatmeal with So Delicious Greek Yogurt. Either of these will keep me full until I hide under my desk with my lunch.

Sometimes I’m in the mood for a big stack of carbs in the morning. I don’t know if I want to eat V.K. Rees’ pumpkin pancakes, or hang one of the lovely photos of them on my wall. I think both. Everything tastes better on a stick, and these adorable heart-shaped waffles from Meet the Wikos are no exception.

The Happy Go Lucky Vegan’s Pumpkin waffles also sound perfect for a crisp fall morning.

Sometimes I just want a doughnut. Unfortunately, I’m not lucky enough to live near Voodoo or Mighty O, but I could certainly whip up these Choconut Doughnuts from tahinitoo.

Sometimes I can’t make up my mind and want a little savory and sweet on my plate. For those days, I’d love this French Toast Sandwich with “Cheezly” Hashbrowns and Spinach Chips from Growing up Veg.

I could also go for the Smoky Soy Curls that Tasty Planet serves up next to a nice stack of fluffy pancakes.

Whatever you decide to start your day with, make it something delicious!
