But.. for now I will leave you with some highlights from NS. In no particular order..
Tofu scramble with tabouli.. a classic, and I was really craving it after not eating it for 2 months.
Pumpkin soup with roasted pumpkin seeds.. you'll see a theme here soon.
I made some "nutella" out of hazelnut butter someone gave me.. it was so good. I technically should have added oil but decided not to, which made it a bit dry, but I didn't mind.
I got veganomicon a couple weeks later and noticed a recipe for nutella in there, I'll have to try that out next time.
Thai stew (or something like it, I definitely modified this) from The Everyday Vegan.. it was delicious.
The vegan breakfast from Pyramid Cafe in Halifax. I ate this many times.. so good & so cheap. Though their falafels are a little bit disappointing (Too dry - I'm still missing Falafel Place in Winnipeg). Overall it's amazing though, got a little bit of everything.
VwaV peanut sauce and udon noodles with tofu.. another classic.
A big ol' pot of chocolate chip cookies. This pot was also my only "cake pan", because I had no cake pans, so I'd line this with parchment instead.
Pumpkin muffins with freshly roasted pumpkin. The first time I tried this, I mixed up the sugar with the salt... not a good idea.
Pumpkin cheesecake from Heartwood Cafe & Bakery in Halifax. Yes, I am crazy about pumpkin. This was alright but nothing like a cheesecake, I am not sure why they called it that.
Anyway.. that's all for now. I may hibernate for winter.. so if you don't hear from me, just assume I'm too busy trying to scavenge for vegetables in this land full of meat.

welcome back to blogging!! I always love the abundance of food photos that you feature in each post, so it's nice to see you back :0)
the tofu scramble, pumpkin soup, "nutella" spread (I should definitely try that - I LOVE hazelnut butter, and have been using it like mad lately), Thai stew, vegan breakfast plate (WOW look at all that scrumptious-looking food - sounds like a great restaurant!), peanut-sauce with udon noodles & tofu (yum! a classic, indeed), pumpkin muffins, and the cheezecake (even though it didn't taste like cheezecake, haha) ALL LOOK POSITIVELY DELECTABLE!!
good luck on your scavenger hunt for vegetables!! take care during this holiday season!! :0)
Gosh, what a feast for the senses this post is! I can practically taste and smell everything. I love the hazelnut butter and just everything here. What an awesome blog!
Ouch! Northern Alberta? Good luck finding veg-friendly foods. =(
That nutella looks exquisite. I've been searching for a suitable substitute for my love of Nutella.
Pyramid Cafe isn't Vegan. The Vegan breakfast they served had wonderbread (not Vegan, they use an animal based preservative), and the pototoes were cooked in chicken grease.
I was sad to hear what the employees had to say after the owner skipped town and didn't pay any of them, leaving them to spill the beans on what was really going on.
Udon noodles are a favorite of mine - that dish looked great!
Hello,
I found your site through Liz's (veggigirl). Your food looks absolutely delicious. Looks like you are surviving in spite of being in "meat country"! :-)
Those muffins look fantastic. And that breakfast looks amazing as well. Good luck in your new living situation! Let us know how everything works out.
Hi again!
Just wanted to pass on this information ...
Boston Magazine recently published an article all about us this month - here is the link:
Oh Soy Tasty!
If you have a few minutes to spare, could do us a huge favor and read the article and comment at the bottom of the page? We're very excited about getting such great press, especially from a magazine of this caliber. If everyone drops by and leaves a quick comment, soon there will be no doubt in any publisher's mind: YES, readers absolutely do want to know about vegan happenings and developments. Please don't hesitate to repost the article on your blog and spread the world!
Thanks!
