Carrot Muffins ~ From vegetate, Vegan Cooking & Food Blog

From Vegan with a Vengeance, page 46. We substituted spelt flour for regular wheat flour and agave for sugar. We didn’t have any raisins (which the recipe calls for) but these were fluffy, moist, and delicious nonetheless. These are the perfect breakfast muffins!

Carrot factoids:
The Ancient Greeks called the carrot a philtron, which translates to “love charm.” They believed the carrot made both men and women more amorous. These muffins were lovely, indeed! ;)

The scene from the movie It Happened One Night in which Clark Gable leans nonchalantly against a fence eating carrots while talking to Claudette Colbert inspired the creators of Bugs Bunny to give him the same nonchalant, carrot-eating demeanor.

Spanikopita ~ From Vegetate, Vegan Cooking & Food Blog

We made this yummy spanikopita to bring to a potluck at our dear friends Christie & Pablo’s’ beautiful home in Mill Valley. It was a blast and the pot-luckers approved of this great recipe from Vegan with a Vengeance, page 91! Made using filo dough, spinach, tofu, nutritional yeast, walnuts, scallions, garlic, olive oil lemon juice, nutmeg, dill, & oregano. This is now our go-to recipe for spanikopita. Tastes great with kalamata olives and dolmas.

Revolutionary Spanish Omelet w/Roasted Red Pepper Sauce - from Vegetate, Vegan Cooking and Food Blog

Isa Chandra Moscowitz has done it yet again… this is one of my favorite dishes ever. The omelet is made from potatoes, onions, tofu, and saffron, saffron, saffron! It is baked until eggy (I just made that word up) and soft. Served with a roasted red pepper sauce made from fresh roasted red bell peppers and almond meal. From Vegan with a Vengeance, page 184. Yum!
