As Mr AtV and I prepare for a weekend getaway to our favorite coastal town , I've been spending these last few days deciding what food I want to pack - my favorite part of vaycay planning. I also might enjoy making lists a little to much for my own good, but that's another story for another post (addicted to list making, anyone?). These crackers will definitely be coming along with me for our road trip...that is, if there's any left before we leave town. If you love a good savory onion cracker then I highly recommend making these. http://www.addictedtoveggies.com/2012/03/savory-pumpkinflaxseed-onion-crackers.html

ADDICTED to VEGGIES: Savory Pumpkin/Flaxseed Onion Crackers

http://chowvegan.com/2011/06/11/vegetable-lasagna-cupcakes/ How about a couple of cupcakes for dinner? I haven’t made lasagna in ages but after seeing the oh-so-cute Petite Lasagnas at Can You Stay For Dinner? , I just had to make a vegan version. Super easy to make using wonton wrappers, the mini lasagnas bake in about ten minutes or so. I didn’t bother to replace the meat in the sauce called for in the original recipe, I just went with vegetables – fresh shiitake mushrooms and baby zucchini from the farmers market.

As you know, I am not a huge fan of the faux cheeses. They usually gross me out. I’ve tried several vegan cheese pizzas, cheese dogs, cheese sauces, etc that people claimed were THE BEST EVER, only to find myself disappointed and sometimes disgusted. So I gave up. http://thetolerantvegan.com/2011/05/baked-chicken-less-taquito/

Chinese Crispy Fried Tofu with Sweet Chili Sauce Recipe | Chef In You - StumbleUpon

http://chefinyou.com/2011/10/fried-tofu-sweet-chille-sauce/ It feels like yesterday, but the memory is fresh. Eons ago, I happened to spot some "white slabs" sitting next to my all time favorite Paneer, in the aisle of the grocery store I frequented. See, I was this good girl who went shopping for my mom during the weekends, all on my own, so that my mom can relax her feet.

People. I know you’re busy. I know you’ve got things to do and people relying on you. Hogwash. There is nothing more important than you grabbing your keys, hightailing it to the grocers, and buying everything you need to make these burgers stat. Yes, I said STAT. http://www.cheekykitchen.com/2011/07/good-holy-heck-portabella-burgers.html
Five years ago, I was bracing myself for the first holidays without mom by giving myself a break and visiting a friend in NYC for a week. It had been a whirlwind that fall and I was breathless – taking care of her affairs, navigating family matters, treading lightly in my own mind. Getting away was what I needed.

http://simplesojourns.com/2011/10/candy-corn-rice-krispie-treats.html While browsing Pinterest I came across a recipe for Candy Corn Rice Krispie Treats from My Creative Stirrings . I tweaked it a bit and made the end product smaller for the 160 little fingers that would be devouring them at our grandkid’s Halloween party. I think everyone enjoys Rice Krispie Treats. I know I do!
