Sep 30
Have you heard? The last day of September (that’s today!) is officially Vegan Baking Day. It may not be on the government’s radar, a legal holiday (yet) or a charity marathon with a high media profile that involves racing through the city with a basket of muffins. Simply put, it’s a day to focus on sharing the deliciousness of vegan baked goods with friends, family, neighbours and colleagues.
Aside from the Raw Mini Pie Challenge testing extravaganza that occurred over the weekend (we’ll be announcing the winners tomorrow!), Lisa and I also put on one heck of a raw dessert demo at the 27th annual Vegetarian Food Festival at Harbourfront Centre.
This particular festival has had a special place in my heart since moving to Toronto in 1998.
I’m starting to gear up for the first-ever Vida Vegan Blogger Conference happening in a little over a week. Words can’t describe how excited I am. When I heard about it almost a year ago, I immediately bought a ticket and started planning a vegan girls’ getaway, which will include three days in Portland and five days in San Francisco. On my way home, I will also be making a three-day stop in British Columbia for my good friend Anita’s wedding.
Thank you to everyone who left comments on my last post. I really enjoyed reading the feedback and suggestions on what you would like to see more of on this blog. The winner of the Wilton mini doughnut pan, selected by random.org, is Hannah of Wayfaring Chocolate! Please email me your mailing address so I can send it out to you!
Now, on to dessert.
Veg-based foodie site Yum Universe (YU) is turning one on August 12, and they’re celebrating with a birthday-themed contest, which involves creating a plant-based, party-themed, whole foods recipe. To me, birthdays are always worth a little extra effort in the dessert department…
As a new recipe contributor to One Green Planet, I’m ecstatic to announce my debut! This fantastic website is dedicated to spreading ideas and knowledge about the environment and vegan living. If you haven’t already come across this site, I suggest you pay a visit.
