A Vegan Meringue Topping and a Chocolate Movie

Vegan MoFo continues! This is a picture-heavy post, so I'll try to keep the text on the light side. Also, I will start this one with the daily movie recommendation instead of the foodz, because once you see what I made you will be far too freaked out to read a movie review! Romantics Anonymous is a quirky French movie about two lonely chocolate lovers who suffer from severe anxiety issues. French charm? Check! Qurikiness? Check! Chocolate? Check! Socially awkward characters? Check! Angélique is a super talented but extremely shy chocolatier who finds a job at a chocolate-factory owned by Jean-René, who is possibly even more socially awkward. It's a romantic comedy, so they fall in love and encounter all kinds of funny situations. You probably need to be able to relate to their problems to fully enjoy it, but the characters, the chocolate, the sets, and the music will probably keep you interested even if you are the most outgoing people-person in the history of humankind!

Coconut Oil Shortbread

UPDATE! I made a similar version of these but it's a tiny batch that you can bake in a toaster oven. Check out these Small-Batch Chocolate Covered Cookies ! Is vegan butter available where you live? I never take my precious Earth Balance for granted and it would break my heart (or my belly) if I ever had to give it up. A few weeks ago, Yvonne left me a comment asking about the biscuits that I showed in my quince post . I gave Yvonne the recipe and told her that I made them with Earth Balance. Yvonne didn't let the fact that Earth Balance is not available in the Netherlands deter her from making biscuits, and she went ahead and kicked some biscuit butt with coconut oil instead. Yeah! So now I'm sharing a recipe for my favorite cookie, but made with coconut oil instead of Earth Balance: shortbread! This one's for you, Yvonne! Coconut Oil Shortbread (14-16 single cookies) 1/2 cup refined coconut oil at room temperature* 1/4 cup sugar 2 tsp vanilla extrac

I'm on YouTube!

*small voice* Hi! Remember me? It's been a while! How are you? Enjoying fall? Eaten enough pumpkin spice everything yet? Enjoying spring if you're in the southern hemisphere? I just wanted to write a quick post to let you know I've made some cooking videos and shared them on the YouTubes . Have you heard of ASMR ? It's that soothing, tingling sensation you get on the back of your neck when you hear certain sounds. I never knew it had a name or that other people experienced it too. Not everybody does experience it, mind you. If you're one of the poor souls who doesn't get the tingly feeling then ASMR may seem stupid. Anyway, I've been watching ASMR videos on YouTube to help soothe the Anxiety Monster, and while they don't always help, it's nice when they do. My favorite ASMR videos are cooking videos. No whispers! ASMR whispers freak me out. So I decided to make a few of my own ASMR-friendly * cooking videos until I lose interest in them. You kn

Whole Wheat Cranberry-Orange Muffins

My mother in law, Her Ladyship, likes to eat one of these Whole Wheat Cranberry-Orange Muffins for breakfast every morning. I have been baking a batch of these muffins for her once a week since 2008. Before that, I used to bake her a weekly batch of chocolate chip breakfast muffins, but ever since Her Ladyship's little pup came into her life she switched to cranberries in case puppy wants to steal a bite. Lord Pookie McCuteFace is always stealing bites of things. Mostly food, sometimes socks. These were initially a hybrid of the Cranberry Orange Nut Muffins from Vegan Brunch and the Zesty Cranberry Crumb Muffins from My Sweet Vegan . They have gone through many changes since I first started to bake these for Her Ladyship. They have been tailored to her personal taste and nutritional wants, so you may need to make some changes to keep your taste buds happy. These have a truckload of cranberries! A double semi-trailer truck full of cranberries! They don't have a whole lot of

Oops! I screwed up the truffles!

It's another episode of Wing It, Don't Fling It ! Today's episode is brought to you by my own airheadedness. See, I usually make truffles with four ounces of chocolate, but I only had three ounces this time. I made the math in a little piece of paper and calculated how much milk, sugar, and vanilla I needed for only three ounces of chocolate. The little piece of paper remained forgotten on my desk while I proceeded to make the truffles in the kitchen, as if I was using the full four ounces of chocolate. Needless to say, the chocolate was too soft and it never fully set - not even after spending the night in the fridge... But I managed to wing it by adding a little bit of coconut flour... ... and in the end they were delicious in a cake-ball kind of way. Some rolled in coconut flour, some in ground peanuts, and some in ground chocolate chips. All's well that ends well! Now let's check in with Mr. Cardinal who has just seen something ve
