Pubs: The Oh She Glows Cookbook: Vegan Recipes to Glow From the Inside Out

Hell's Bells, it's Halloween...yippee! You can spin the day in three different ways...celebrate the wonders of pumpkin seeds, the art of pumpkin carving or the joy of sugarslamming til your head pops off! Angela's got all three covered with a tantalizing treatbag of glowing goodies and devilish delights!  :)

Angela is like a lovable best friend and a dependable mom and a favorite teacher all rolled into one...supersweet and soooo helpful!

She's been a guiding light for me and a vast multitude of vegloving munchers for years, providing easy-to-follow, fully photographed recipes, and all sorts of encouragement and heartfelt advice. Her website features over 500 recipes and her new cookbook is a tempting cross section of the best of them. If you need a simple sandwich or a full on holiday meal, or you just want to hang out with a rompingfriendly blogging bunch, swing over to Oh She Glows!

Happy National Potato Day!

Blogger of the Day: Marti at Tofu Mom...and Gravy!

Marti specializes in "kid-tested, Mom-approved, easy, budget-friendly, unapologetically delicious vegan comfort food (and lots of GRAVY!)". She has that treasured talent that every mom worth her truffle salt possesses...the ability to take ingredients like humble spuds and spin them into a million sorts of deliciousness. For me, that includes supercrazy yumful scalloped potatoes...layers of taters mixed with creamy sauce and crispified on top. So good! Set the table, I'm ready to eat!  :)

Marti's a busy working mom so glossy glamor photos aren't the focus here. Just solidgood eats! Her website is built on hundreds of tried and true recipes so after you scoop up some scallops and potato salads go explore the rest of her gravy and goodness!  ;)













What's your favorite Mom-approved potato plate...hash browns, poutine, tombet or...?  :)
