Alright! For the Love of Guava tagged me to showcase my vegan freezer. This is interesting, since I’m housesitting right now, so my freezer isn’t actually mine. However, I’ve been slowly taking over, and here’s what it looks like:
The meat is definitely not mine, so it gets an X. I’ve been doing a decent amount of freezing things when they’re in season so that I can enjoy them when they’re not. There’s a good amount of tomato sauce and some apple pies my friend and I made, as well as some shell beans. And tofu, since it gets better when frozen!
And the door! Whenever I make rice, I make a lot and freeze it in smaller quantities for use later. Also had some oatmeal pancakes leftover.
Sorry it’s not more interesting! I don’t know that I know the requisite 5 vegan bloggers, but if you’re reading this, and you’re doing Vegan MoFo and haven’t gotten this yet, steal it! Cupcake Punk, I don’t think I’ve seen it on your blog yet…
Who saw Project Runway last night? Yay Leanne! I was really rooting for her — I loved her collection, the way she used a simple color palette to showcase her architectural designs. I made some vegan sugar cookies for our Project Runway Finale party last night. I tried to make them look like pincushions, which is totally the idea of my friend (check her out: Tatiana Supports the Arts).
I veganized a Martha Stewart recipe (here). For the best vegan egg substitute, I’ve had luck with this combination in baking:
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 Tbsp flour
- 3 Tbsp water
Mix together in a separate bowl — will get frothy. Equals one egg.
The frosting is just powdered sugar (2 c) with 7-ish tsp of soy milk. Plus all the red food dye I could muster. The frosting worked perfectly! Nice and thin — I’m not a huge fan of super thick frosting. And it dried in time for Runway fun!
For more Project Runway fun, check out Walking the Vegan Line’s Project Runway cupcakes. And, if you’re not into it yet, Project Rungay is my favorite way to relive my favorite Project Runway episodes.
oooh look at the colours!
So pretty.
Will try that egg replacer – thanks for the tip.
Cute cookies! I was definitely rooting for LeAnne–I’m so glad she won! Her colors were fabulous. I’ll post my freezer tomorrow…I’m pretty sure it’ll be boring, but thanks for tagging me!
I love the captions on your freezer. :-) Those cookies are so cute. The idea of pincushions is so cute. If I didn’t already have a halloween costume in mind I might go as a pincushion. I saw project runway and like Jes I was SO happy LeAnne won. I loved her collection. I wanted her wedding dress just to wear around or the lovely combo of the light blue petal skirt and the off the shoulder white top. So cute.
