Oh,Hey,I Met the Real Rachael Ray.Oh,and VCTOYCJ Peanut Butter Blondies.

Oh hey!I met the real Rachael Ray.

we're also soul mates,and she actually complimented me and said "i love your shirt!it's very autumnal."

that's one of my favourite words,p.s.

just thought i had to let the world know that i met rayray.

elegance,beauty,AND grace.

such a good sense of humour,too.

and i guess in terms of vegan baking...

peanut butter blondies from vegan cookies invade your cookie jar!

yes,did you know that vegan cookies invade your cookie jar,isa chandra moskowitz and terry hope romero's newest cook(IE!) book is now out?i was a tester,and wrote about some recipes(like the soft whole wheat fig bars!)last month as part of vegan mofo,and just in general a lot over the past year,but it's out now,so go buy it!

with(incredible) espresso from abraco.

and these are definitely in my top 3 recipes from the book.probably number 1,actually.then the nutter butters and fig bars.

so peanut buttery,fudgy,dense,crispy sides,salty and sweet...incredible.

oh,they're also really good with ice cream.

here's a peanut butter blondie with cakebatter softserve ice cream from lula's sweet apothecary.

and if yr in NYC,there's a party happening at Moo Shoes tomorrow tuesday november 24th at 7pm to celebrate the book with isa and terry and cookies and snacks and drinks and book signing and more,so go!

pb&j ice cream(grape jelly!) and cake batter softserve from lula's.

Vegan MoFo Day#13-Peanut Butter S'mores and Proof that Rachael Ray DOES Have Good Taste and Is The Genius I Think She Is...

Sweet and Sara Peanut Butter S'mores.

so,you probably know that i'm a pretty big sweet and sara vegan marshmallow fan, as well as a huge fan of rachael ray, despite so many vegans hating her. once i even arranged for an internet friend to mail me a sample size bottle of her own evoo.

anyways, did you see?yesterday on her show, not just the classic s'mores, but the sweet and sara peanut butter s'mores was the "snack of the day".

proof,afterall,that ray ray is a genius with great taste buds.you go rayray!

i wrote about these last year for mofo,and even took pictures in a photobooth eating one.they're the best.not just a peanut butter cookie bottom,but the graham cracker AND a thick layer of peanut butter filling/spread.yummo,indeed.

and speaking of sweet and sara,back in june when visiting portland for the let live animal rights conference and just general good times,jess and i tried these:

they're were like fluffy cinnamon toast crunch.phenomenal.

that was also the trip that i made and brought s'mores danishes with some sweet and saras and some dandies.

and with some marshies i had brian pick me up before he visited in may.

oh,and lest we forgot,the s'mores cake i made in march'08 for my little brother's birthday:

yummo.
