I have big plans for this week. Big pie plans. Yesterday I made some chocolate pies, and here are the results:

Mini Chocolate Silk Pie:

Mini Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie:

Mud Pie (Espresso & Chocolate - This one was a full sized pie):

fruit pies are next!

Summer has flown by this year. It is my favorite season, by far: The fruits, the sunshine, swimming, outdoors, etc! I love it. I’ve been busy working full time, switching jobs, and attending summer classes… so I’ve found myself eating out a lot more than cooking. School is out for the next month, though, so hopefully I will be cooking/baking and posting more kitchen experiments. I’ll also be flying to Philly for my birthday (August 16th), which I’m really excited about.

At the beginning of summer, some of the Austin Vegans took part in the Global Vegan Waffle Party. Here are some photos from that:

Also, I attended the annual Veggie Hot Dog Eating Contest on the 4th of July, which was tons of fun, apart from roasting the Texas heat.

Hope y’all are enjoying the summer as much as I am! :)

I made some cupcakes for a vegan dinner benefiting Monkey Wrench Books at House of Commons a few weeks ago, and I thought I would share a few pictures! These are ‘buttercups’ - dark chocolate cake with salty peanut butter buttercream. :)
