Eat Dance Live

Happy Canada Day! Here goes... and the winner is... Congrats A m a n d a ! If this is the Amanda I think it is, I guess the kitten knew it was your birthday :) Haha, and if it's one of the world's many other Amandas please send me an email at eatdancelive@gmail.com with your contact info so I can deliver the goods! Either way, get in touch! And thanks to everyone who entered! Since the royals are in town, we should probably be punctual in heading out for the day's festivities. In the meantime, here are some awesome Canada Day recipes to consider, whether you'll be celebrating too or you just want some yummy patriotic looking food! Angela's V'Oh Canada Oats or her Strawberry Cheescake Bites (this girl is patriotic to boot!) Vegan Yum Yum's Strawberry Waffles and no Canada Day would be complete without this classic... Sarah Kramer...

It's time for some more vegan recipe link love! I couldn't quite pick a theme for this week's recipes, except for the fact that they are generally of the savoury category. I know most people don't get as excited about main courses as they do about desserts, but actually, I do. These have mostly been the best recipes I discovered as I developed my vegan culinary skills. Every single one is amazing in its own right, so whatever your tastebuds are into, I suggest you try one! I realize that given my current lifestyle, only one of these is raw, but that's mostly because I tend to be more experimental with raw food than I was with vegan food, so I've got a lot more vegan savoury links to share than I do raw ones! (once again, for anyone cited, I've directly linked them to your sites but please let me know if you don't want me using your photos!) The Wannabe Chef's Dessert Hummus Dessert Hummus. Seriously. What...

Is it a total cop out that I haven't blogged in a week and now am just posting a bunch of pictures of other people's food? Okay... maybe. I think I may be taking this "being on a total mental vacation before I have to study for my comprehensive exams in August" thing a little too seriously. However, I do have a distraction for you... I just got the BEST Easter present ever : I just got my first kitten! Meet Massachusetts. He's 8 weeks old and he has my heart. Some of you might already know that we already technically have a kitty, Fox: But I suppose he's "technically" Andrew's cat. (Yes, the human love of my life also came with the feline love of my life... lucky girl, I know! Is that what you call a twofer? Heh...) Anyway, I've wanted a kitten since the day I knew what a kitten was. Strangely enough, today was only the second (or third) time in my life that I've been exposed to kittens as young as Mass. For a girl, ...

Every weekend, I really look forward to reading Angela's Recipe Link Love . Once a week, she delights all her readers with absolutely yummy looking pictures of others people's food. It's fantastic, and really gives me new ideas on how to be creative in the kitchen. Because it's Lent and since we've established I'm psychotic already, I decided I'd start by sharing the yummiest vegan baked goods I've found online. These have often been used as my go-to potluck recipes, you know the ones to impress your non-vegan friends with vegan dessert recipes. (In my attempt to share the yummy-ness in its full unadultarated glory, I did use the photos they had up on their blog. Since they are directly linked, I figured it would be okay! For those involved, please let me know if it's not.) (never)homemaker's Chocolate Pumpkin Swirl Cake with Vegan Frosting In the fall, I used to make this cake for my dad all the ti...
