Halloweegan Coasters and Napkin Rings!

Follow this link for more vegan Halloween recipes!
OK. After this I'm all Halloween-crafted out! These felt coasters are very easy to make, but if you're a little obsessed with neat stitches it can be very time consuming. But then again there's always felt glue which would make these the speediest coasters ever!

Basement Cat!

I ain't afraid of no ghost

Frankie say relax!

Yet another dead dude

Spider man, spider man...
You like? If you want to make your own, here are the spooky designs:

Little characters, small circle for plastic lining, big circle for felt.
Print out the patterns that I so kindly and generously shared (what?) and cut out all the little characters. Trace them on Halloween colored felt and cut them out. Sew the little details (eyes, noses, etc) to the main faces like this: (you will also need to do some backstitching for the spider's legs, the cat's whiskers, and Frankie's mouth)

Done? Also trace and cut 12 of the larger circles - you will need t…

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 extract
1 tsp almond extrac…

Single-Serving Vanilla Cupcake (With Video! Or not.)

UPDATE! I made a similar version of these but it's a tiny batch of TWO that you can bake in a toaster oven. Check out these Vanilla Cupcakes for Two!

Oh, hello! How are you? Come in! Hurry! Mind the mockingbird out there, he's a biter. Can I offer you a cup of tea? Maybe a cupcake?

That's a single-serving cupcake. Would you like the recipe? Why bother making one single cupcake, you ask?

I'm glad you asked, for I have made a list of reasons why one might want to go through the trouble of making one single cupcake. I'll take any opportunity to make a list. The possible reasons one might have to make one lone cupcake are as follows.
*clears throat*

1. You are on a diet and you want to have a sweet treat without having to bake a whole batch of cupcakes or an entire cake. If you're anything like me, making an entire batch means eating an entire batch. Or, you may want to make one little treat for someone else who is on a diet.

2. You live with someone who is taking …

Valentine's Day Chocolate Cupcakes with Cookie Toppers

Hello, is it me you're looking for?* No. Awkward. Perhaps you're looking for an early Valentine's Day cupcake then?

Now, if you've known me for a while, you're probably wondering why all the normality? These are very proper cupcakes! How nice, you may think, River has finally grown up and left her silly shenanigans behind.

LOLNOPE FOOL!

Sorry, I didn't mean to call you a fool or yell at you with complete disregard for basic grammar. I got caught in the moment and the trash-talk just sort of happened.

Shortbread dudes and dudettes! Of course. If I ever run out of silly, please punch me in the face until I snap out of it. Thanks.

Oh no. What's going on in the background there? Is somebody feeling grumpy?

^^Don't mind if I do, buddy. Don't mind if I do.

Not everybody is going to be happy this Valentine's Day. If you're one of this year's Valentine's Day boycotters, you may be better off baking some anti-romance cupcakes than going arou…

Halloweegan Dead Man Burgers!

Follow this link for more vegan Halloween recipes!
This is possibly one of my favorite Halloweegan treats ever! It's like some sort of voodoo burger! Chomp chomp chomp!

At first it was just going to be a normal bun, but ha! I laugh at normality! Honestly, the whole thing looked like a turtle at first. So Mr. Wing-It said what if you could make the bun look like a mouth eating the dead dude? By golly, I married an evil genius! So I grabbed the mustard and the ketchup, and drew eyes on the bun. Huge difference! It sure didn't look like a turtle anymore.

Test run. Mr. Wing-It's genius idea
But because we didn't have any lettuce to make it purdy, plus I wanted to make the bun look like it had monstery teeth, the original Dead Man Burger was deemed just a test run. The second batch of Dead Man Burgers had toothy buns, which were easy to make by cutting the front of the bun in a zigzag motion instead of a straight cut, like the rest of the bun.

Use a small, serrated, pointy kn…
