Mine was not a lazy Sunday. I zumba-ed, I groceried (yes, it’s a word), and then I jazzed – while listening to my dad’s jazz and blues band at Famous Daves. Finally, I grammy-ed. (okay, I made that one up). I’m looking forward to getting back into my weekly routine. No joke.

Kat! So glad you answered number three. Funny-after I wrote that one I thought, “that’s going to be a hard one to answer.”

I’ve never done any vegan baking. But, your cookies look wonderful and I loved your comment about the “taste suggesting all three together but not separately,” very nice.

In my pantry untouched….hmmmmmm-oh I know- these packets of sloppy joe’s seasonings. Not even sure how they got there. And not a big fan, I should just throw them out. Take care,

Shauna

Wow! Impressive.

What are you going to do on Monday?

I haven’t tried vegan baking. The idea of baking without eggs and butter makes me feel a bit weepy, to be honest. But your cookies look great!

I have never tried vegan baking, but I have yet to have any vegan baked goods that I’ve liked. All of the ones I’ve hard are hard and gross. Perhaps if I had a delicious vegan baked good, I’d change my mind. Like these. They look pretty good. How are they soft without butter? The spread?

My foray into the vegan lifestyle certainly forced me to step up my culinary skills. I knew if I told the hubbo the new thing in front of him was vegan and it ended up being vile, it would be the fault of the vegan component.

I’ve still got a few vegan recipe hold outs in rotation including this gem: http://thebakingbird.blogspot.com/2009/02/best-vegan-banana-bread.html . It is divine and my favorite way to make browning bananas disappear!

A) I love that you called your pan, “well seasoned”. Those ones are always the best in my book. My chocolate chip cookies on any other pan just aren’t the same.
2) The word vegan next to baking would have sent me for the hills – so thanks for keeping it real, literally and figuratively.
iii) Chocolate orange version – top of the list!

I’ve never made anything vegan before.

Okay let’s be honest here. We both know I’ve made hardly anything before. But that’s okay! Because I can live vicariously through your baking action.

So impressed Kat. These look very Uniform. And Consistent. And we both know those two things make us tick.

Yum my dear. My vegan years are long behind me, but these look pretty fab. I definitely wouldn’t turn my nose up at one (or three) of those babies. Also, I loved your actioning of the Nigella recipe a post or two back. I will have to grab her cook book.

I have not tried vegan baking. I think The Complete Package would throw me out on my ear if I did. The love of butter & red meat courses deeply through that man’s probably semi-clogged veins. That being said, your cookies look fantastic, and your combination of chocolate, raspberry and almond extract is inspired. I would absolutely try these. And then I would lie through my teeth to a certain someone. And I wouldn’t feel bad about it. Way to rock the oven today, Kat. I’m so proud of you. You’re a BAKER, girl!
