Happy Banana Lover's Day!

Blogger of the Day: Melody at Little House On The Vegan Prairie

Melody dives deep into everything she does...she's a Certified Vet Tech who has volunteered for years at sanctuaries and shelters. She's passionate about animal & human rights, veganism and bananas! A thick slice of her Strawberry Banana Bread is fabulous alone but even better topped with vegan butter or cream cheese or a scoop of ice cream. Or slather on nut butter and banana slices if you're really a nanner nut.  ;)

Happy National Banana Split Day!

Blogger of the Day: Audrey at The Artsy Vegan

Some people get lost for hours on Pinterest, some on Facebook...for me, it's etsy...just type in a word, any word, and you get dozens to hundreds of crazyinteresting creative interpretations. Try "banana split" and you get lip whips and luggage tags...posters and pendants...candy, candles and crocheted baby wraps. Celebrate Split Day any artsy way you like!  :)

Painter and Chalkfester Audrey is creative in many ways, presenting easy yumful vegan meals, often on her own handpainted plates. She features a palette from TexMex to sushi, but she's a Southern girl at heart so expect plenty of Georgia country cooking. Her Banana Split Pops can be served without ice cream but today's a flaming scorcher around here so my Splits will be sinking in a colorful bowl of frostycool scoops!  ;)
