Round it up! Legend says you should eat round foods at the midnight strike of the New Year as a sign of renewal and rebirth, and to bring on good luck and prosperity. I like <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandarin_orange">Mandarins</a> because they're naturally in season, they burst with nutritional goodness and they are just so squealingly scrumptious and colorfully cheerful! Plus you get to choose..."Mandarin Orange" actually refers to a <a href="http://aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu/citrus/fiesta/varieties/index.htm">citrus family</a> that includes Mandarins, Clementines, Tangerines and Satsumas. They range from sour to sweet so you'll just have to try them all to find your favorite! ;)<br />
<br />
A trip to Golubka (which means "dove" in Russian) is the perfect way to wrap up yumful year! Anya and her photo pro daughter <a href="http://cargocollective.com/mashadavydova/">Masha</a> create crazygorgeous and spinningly delicious dishes full of pure fresh flavors in dazzling combinations. The most dreamingly luscious stuff...Anya makes it easy to become a vegan! :)<br />

Baking Soda Day? Yep, today you can celebrate the wonders of that humble white magic. You can <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/AHBakingSoda/playlists">put it to work</a> or put it to play...make <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hefLaJ73dMM">fizzy eggs</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yk9G4HGtu_g">fat balloons</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwiosotOlWU">lots</a> and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTp-r3oOtJE">lots</a> of rockets and fountains of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCcb60grxsI">dayglo lava flows</a>. Crazyfun stuff! ;)<br />
<br />
Or you can make it bake! Baking soda is a leavening agent, which means it helps make dough or batter rise by creating trapped carbon dioxide bubbles...baking powder does the same. So what's the difference? <br />
<br />
Baking soda requires an additional acid (like buttermilk, citrus juice, molasses, yogurt or vinegar) to work...<br />
Baking soda + acid + liquid = bubbles --> immediate rise<br />
<br />
Baking powder contains baking soda and acid so all it needs is liquid to activate. Double-acting baking powder (what you see in most grocery stores) boosts it up when heat is added...<br />
Double-acting baking powder + liquid = bubbles --> immediate rise + heat = more bubbles --> extended rise<br />
<br />
Some recipes require both...balance is the key. Too much soda, powder or acid will result in a bitter taste so follow directions and measure carefully...this is why baking should be considered a science and why you should get school credit for flipping <a href="http://nomnomnomblog.com/2009/05/25/best-pancakes-ever/">fluffy pancakes</a>! :)<br />

<br />
My brother is the Slow Cooker King in my family...he uses a slow cooker at least once every day and will bust out a bunch of them for big family feasts. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slow_cooker">Slow cookers</a> (also called crock pots) are quiet little miracle workers for busy budgeting folks...pour your ingredients in at night for a warm yumful breakfast or start it up in the morning for a full deal meal at night. My favorites are slowcooked oatmeals and anything fruity...I love the smell of cinnamonysweet fruits filling the house and nothing's better than a warm fruity bowl when I wake up, or a scoop of spiced fruit on my midnight <a href="http://sodeliciousdairyfree.com/product_groups/dairy-free-desserts">ice cream</a>...spoonlicking deliciousness! ;)<br />

She knows how to whip up walletfriendly hungerstomping recipes that fill you up in the most soulsmiling way. We bought a big box of pears awhile back and used every last one of them in Sally's slowcooked pears recipe. Best way to wake up on a shivery winter morning. :)<br />

Biscotti are sliced cookies that are twice baked to give them a slightly chewy, mostly crunchy bite. They're best when dunked in <a href="http://sodeliciousdairyfree.com/product_groups/dairy-free-beverages">milk</a>, coffee or hot cocoa, or dipped in slightly melty <a href="http://sodeliciousdairyfree.com/product_groups/dairy-free-desserts">ice cream</a>...yumza! :)<br />

<br />
Holiday fruitcakes are munchable fun because you can switch in whatever fruits and nuts you like, but even better are fruitcake cookies! If they come out too hard you can dunk them in <a href="http://sodeliciousdairyfree.com/product_groups/dairy-free-beverages">milk</a> or crumble them in <a href="http://sodeliciousdairyfree.com/product_groups/dairy-free-desserts">ice cream</a> and they're still superyumful! Petrified fruitcakes on the other hand just gotta get <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvUudRdFC7E">tossed</a>. ;)<br />
<br />
Rianne is a <a href="http://www.sdci-inc.com/">trained chef</a> specializing in superbeautiful allergenfree desserts and delicious <a href="http://artofdessert.blogspot.com/search/label/vegan">vegan treats</a>! She features favorites from her Philippine childhood like sugarglazed <a href="http://artofdessert.blogspot.com/2011/06/karioka-deep-fried-coconut-rice-balls.html">Karioka</a> and oh-so-comforting <a href="http://artofdessert.blogspot.com/2011/02/ginataang-bilo-bilo.html">Ginataang Bilo-Bilo</a>, as well as American classics like <a href="http://artofdessert.blogspot.com/2012/02/vegan-chocolate-chip-cookies.html">chocolate chip cookies</a> and <a href="http://artofdessert.blogspot.com/2011/10/vegan-vanilla-cupcakes.html">vanilla cupcakes</a>. Her fruitcake cookies are perfect...just enough chew and crunch in those fruits and spices. Check out her <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/artofdessert/">flickr page</a> too for more sweet stuff! :)<br />

<br />
I really want today to be Cinnamon Toast Day too because it's one of my favorite Santa Day early morning treats...or afternoon snack or midnight munchie. Fast, simple and so squealingly yumful, and the best breakfast when you're a kid, waiting for your parents to wake up so you can open Christmas presents. ;) But it's officially Pumpkin Pie Day so here's an easy punkin fix that you can quickly whip up, happily snack on and share with everyone! :)<br />
<br />
Cathy is a plantbased <a href="https://www.drmcdougall.com/about/staff/">teaching</a> chef writing healthy recipes that anyone can make...she provides clear instructions and suggestions and always answers your questions. She shares loads of vegan love here...food facts, cooking tips, helpful meal plans and supernutritious stuff that's straight up delish! :)<br />

Joni <b>really</b> likes writing cookbooks and that's making millions of vegans very happy! In my stack of most used and bookmarked and dogeared and doodled-in cookbooks, I've got at least three of Joni's books...<i>500 Vegan Recipes</i>, <i>Best Veggie Burgers</i> (of course!) and <i>Vegan Food Gifts</i> which has gotten a lot of use in the past few weeks. <i>Going Vegan</i> is getting gifted to a few of my not-yet-vegan family members...Joni and her superdelicious sandwiches and tacos and <a href="http://justthefood.blogspot.com/2008/02/lemon-poppyseed-cake-part-2.html">cakes</a>, <a href="http://justthefood.blogspot.com/2008/02/espresso-chocolate-chip-cake.html">cakes</a> and more <a href="http://justthefood.blogspot.com/2010/05/peanut-butter-rocky-road-pound-cakes.html">cakes</a> will convince them to cross to the vegan side! ;)<br />
<br />
I try every year not to buy vegan nog because I <b>always</b> end up drinking the whole dang carton in a day or two...at least if I use it in baking I can slow my intake. That's my theory anyway. ;)<br />

<br />
Rice balls are yumfully delicious no matter where you are in the world! In Italy they are traditionally made with arborio or carnaroli rice, stuffed with meat and deepfried. Mexican, South American and Caribbean versions may be filled with spicy pepper and cheese mixes. Asian countries favor glutinous rice or rice flour balls hiding a sweet or savory paste, sometimes <a href="http://blogs.kqed.org/bayareabites/2012/06/30/japanese-mochi-both-new-and-old/">whimsically colored and flavored</a>. Often they will be tied to holidays like today's <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dongzhi_Festival">Dongzhi Festival</a>, when <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangyuan_%28food%29">Tang Yuan</a> are shared to celebrate the Winter Solstice. Tang Yuan are so hard to resist...one minute your bowl is overflowing, then *poof!* they've disappeared! Don't worry...once you learn the basics, you can whip more up anytime, but get to know your rice before you start rolling! :)<br />
• Glutinous rice is a very sticky, short-grain rice that is often used in Asian dishes.<br />
• Glutinous rice is also known as sticky rice, sushi rice, sweet rice, waxy rice, mochi rice or pearl rice.<br />
• One cup dried rice yields two cups cooked rice.<br />
• Despite its name, this rice isn't sweet and it doesn't contain gluten.<br />
• White or black varieties work best...brown short-grain rice isn't as sticky.<br />

Susanna has a crazyfabulous blog...you will get lost here for hours in all her munchable marvelousness! She's creative and funny and supersweet too, plus she rolls some rockin' balls! :)<br />

<br />
The Winter Solstice is my favorite Winter holiday...from this point the days get longer and we get closer to shorts, tees, beaches and ice cream! ;)<br />
<br />
Until then it's still sniffle weather so pack in as much vitamin C as you can get! Kiwi fruits have superhigh levels of it...just one 2-inch kiwi gives you <a href="http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=41">85% of your daily vitamin C</a> (plus <a href="http://www.kiwifruit.org/health-nutrition/">a bounty more</a>) and it's only 42 calories! You can eat them with or without the skin, sliced into <a href="http://enthusiasts.ciachef.edu/fruit-salad-with-orange-blossom-syrup/">salads</a> and sandwiches, topped onto yogurt, swirled into <a href="http://enthusiasts.ciachef.edu/frozen-fruit-smoothies/">smoothies</a>...you can even <a href="http://www.livestrong.com/article/471586-how-to-dehydrate-kiwi/">dehydrate them into chips</a>. Play with them and see what you get!<br />
<br />
Agnès transforms kiwi fruit into her amazingly creative "Gâteau Capoeira"...that's French for Capoeira Cake, which she made and decorated for her Capoeira martial arts group. You can decorate it any way you like or just top it with beautiful green kiwi slices. It's sweet and rich and soulcheeringly yumful! Agnès is based in Paris so many of her recipes are in French (definitely worth translating) but she's also got a generous section of <a href="http://interpretations-culinaires.fr/category/recipes-in-english/">recipes in English</a>. Crazygorgeous, so flavorful and many of them are deliciously simple! :)<br />

❄ Winter Solstice trivia...<br />
• The word solstice comes from the Latin words for "sun" and "to stand still.” <br />
• At the Winter Solstice, the Sun reaches its southernmost point in the sky.<br />
• In the Northern Hemisphere, this occurs around December 21 or 22. <br />
• This is the shortest day of the year, in which we experience the least amount of daylight in 24 hours.<br />
• The Earth is still holding some Summer heat so the Solstice isn't necessarily the coldest time in Winter.<br />
• Find your exact Solstice timepoint <a href="http://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/december-solstice.html">here</a>.<br />

• Yule celebrations, where <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yule_log">symbolic logs</a> are lit throughout Scandinavia and Northern Europe...make a wish!<br />

<br />
We've got a batch of peanut butter cookies in the oven now and the whole house smells like warm cookie heaven...yumza!<br />
<br />
Both of my Sicilian grandmothers were strong believers in the holiday cookie tradition. In between busy careers and community center volunteering and important family time, they somehow managed to create a tablefilled feast for every holiday, including hundreds of squealingly scrumptious sweets! Nana M specialized in Cuccidati, Biscotti Regina, Almond Fingers and Tutus, while Nana N pressed Anise Pizzelles and rolled Vanilla Chocolate Chip-filled Cannoli...I'm happily melting with the memory of them! To my grandmothers, nothing said love like baking these beautiful handmade cookies and pastries for friends and family. Holly carries on a compassionate baking tradition too...gorgeous treats made with a creative eye and a loving vegan heart. Her family is a lucky bunch to share in these delicious delights and her smiley spirit! :)<br />

Vanilla vitals...<br />
• The French and their taste for pastries are responsible for the <a href="http://www.thespicehouse.com/spices-by-category/vanilla">global growth</a> of vanillaloving culture.<br />
• Mexico, Madagascar, Tahiti and Indonesia are the <a href="http://www.nielsenmassey.com/consumer/vanillas-origins.php">major sources</a> for vanilla.<br />
• Growing and harvesting vanilla beans is very <a href="http://www.spicesinc.com/p-3467-mexican-vanilla-beans.aspx">labor intensive</a> and begins with a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanilla_%28genus%29">tropical orchid flower</a>.<br />
• <a href="https://www.penzeys.com/shop/spices/">Double strength vanilla extract</a> is made with twice as many beans (about 200 beans per gallon) as single strength.<br />
• <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanilla_extract">Get real!</a> Pure vanilla extract is made from vanilla beans in an alcohol base. Natural vanilla flavoring uses vanilla beans with little to no alcohol. Imitation vanilla extract contains vanillin, made from guaiacol or from lignin, a byproduct of the wood pulp industry. <a href="http://www.foodsubs.com/Extracts.html">Imitation vanilla extract</a> may be weaker than pure extract.<br />
• <a href="http://www.savoryspiceshop.com/search/search-results?SearchPhrase=vanilla&x=0&y=0">Best bean care</a>...Never refrigerate or freeze your beans. Keep them in an airtight container, out of sunlight and away from heat.<br />
• Removing vanilla bean <a href="http://www.thekitchn.com/how-to-use-a-whole-vanilla-bean-cooking-lessons-from-the-kitchn-181511">seeds</a> is easy! (<a href="http://video.pbs.org/video/2364993839/">quick video</a>)<br />
• <a href="http://www.nielsenmassey.com/consumer/which-vanilla.php">Vanilla Equivalents</a>: 1 whole Vanilla Bean = 1 tablespoon Pure Vanilla Bean Paste = 1 tablespoon Pure Vanilla Extract = 1 tablespoon Pure Vanilla Powder<br />

<br />
Did you know?<br />
• <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cocoa_solids">Cocoa powder</a> is the nonfat solid left over after cocoa butter is extracted from cacao beans.<br />
• <a href="http://www.historyforkids.org/learn/food/chocolate.htm">Chocolate drinks</a> were first enjoyed by ancient peoples in Central America thousands of years ago. <a href="http://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/a-brief-history-of-chocolate-21860917/">One cacao bean</a> could be traded for a tamale by the Aztecs, while 100 beans could get you a healthy turkey hen!<br />
• Once it <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_chocolate">hit Europe</a>, cocoa was sweetened up and became a favorite of kings and queens. Chocolate elixirs were widely prescribed because of <a href="http://news.cornell.edu/stories/2003/11/cocoa-froths-cancer-preventing-compounds">cocoa's powerful health benefits</a>!<br />
• "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_chocolate#Terminology">Hot cocoa</a>" traditionally refers to a warmed chocolate drink made from cocoa powder...the term "hot chocolate" is used when the drink is made using solid chocolate, which kicks up the fat and sugar content.<br />
• <a href="http://whatscookingamerica.net/Q-A/CocoaTypes.htm">Dutch process cocoa</a> has been treated with an alkali to reduce bitterness. If used in baking, baking powder is usually added so the batter will properly rise.<br />
• In a <a href="http://exhibits.mannlib.cornell.edu/chocolate/fairtrade.php">fiercely competitive market</a>, the chocolate industry often resorts to using slave labor...buy fair trade! Use the Food Empowerment Project’s superexcellent list of <a href="http://www.foodispower.org/chocolate-list/">Vegan Fair Trade Chocolate Makers</a>. :)<br />
<br />
Leslie's chocolaty treats include <a href="http://florafoodie.com/2013/10/salted-rosemary-dark-chocolate-peanut-butter.html">Salted Rosemary Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter</a>, <a href="http://florafoodie.com/2013/05/mexican-chocolate-drizzled-popcorn.html">Mexican Chocolate Drizzled Popcorn</a>, <a href="http://florafoodie.com/2014/04/gooey-secret-ingredient-frosted-brownies.html">Gooey Secret-Ingredient Frosted Brownies</a> and a swirly <a href="http://florafoodie.com/2013/11/chocolate-babka.html">Chocolate Babka</a>. Her little <a href="http://florafoodie.com/tag/breakfast-truffles">truffle balls of bliss</a> are a sinfully easy way to get cocoa goodness anytime...plus a wrapped up box makes a yumfully munchable gift! <br />

Nobody on the planet needs to eat eggs, especially when we've got so many <a href="http://myveganjournal.com/egg-substitutes/">egg switches</a>, <a href="http://www.ener-g.com/egg-replacer.html">subs</a> and <a href="http://thevegg.com/what-is-the-vegg/">simulants</a>, and recipes like <a href="http://support.pcrm.org/site/MessageViewer?em_id=61701.0&dlv_id=64721">easy</a> and <a href="http://www.humanesociety.org/issues/eating/recipes/breakfast/tofu_scramble.html">cheezy</a> tofu scrambles everywhere. <a href="http://www.visitnewcastle.com.au/pages/lifes-a-beach/">Newcastle</a> native Chelsey steps it up with her heavenly omelette and yes, animalfriendly deviled eggs! We've got several LaV favorites...my nephew is a chompmonster for Chelsey's <a href="http://likeavegan.com.au/2014/07/chocolate-cookie-sandwiches/">Chocolate Cookie Sandwiches</a> and I am forever grateful for her <a href="http://likeavegan.com.au/2012/09/cheesy-pepper-arancini/">Cheesy Pepper Arancini</a>...yumza! :)<br />

<br />
Today the world grooves on two global holidays...<a href="https://www.facebook.com/unitednationshumanrights">Human Rights Day</a> and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10152549144434077">International Animal Rights Day</a> (with a <a href="http://www.animalequality.net/node/643">London event on Sunday</a>)...a day to rev up your love for every living being on Earth! Celebrate with a worldly food...flatbread knows no borders! Known by many names with a zillion <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flatbread">variations</a>, it's beloved in almost every culture as a simple yumful comfort food. Focaccia is one of my favorites...I learned to make it <a href="https://foodblogandthedog.wordpress.com/2011/07/30/wholemeal-focaccia-with-homemade-sun-dried-tomatoes-and-basil/">this way</a> but Natalie features another interesting twist. Her wealth of experience as a successful restauranteur and sophisticated traveler richly flavors her recipe collection. Her <a href="https://www.airbnb.com/s/M%C3%A1laga--Spain">Málaga, Spain</a>-based blog is a gourmet atlas of <a href="https://foodblogandthedog.wordpress.com/category/vegan-2/">plantbased fabulousness</a> including several international flatbreads...I wish I could have one of each! :)<br />

<br />
It takes a brave baker to take on pastry challenges from <a href="http://www.myrecessionkitchen.com/2011/09/daring-bakers-challenge-croissants.html">classic croissants</a> to <a href="http://www.myrecessionkitchen.com/2010/03/daring-bakers-challenge-orange-tian.html">tiered tians</a>...even braver if you're vegan! Jean has risen to the challenge time after time with squealingly delicious success! She is one of the best of <a href="http://thedaringkitchen.com/faq">The Daring Bakers</a>, a supercreative group of bloggers who bake up the monthly posted recipe, each in their own way, then blog about it. Jean's entries are always a pleasure to read, complete with clearly written instructions, stepbystep photos, goof ups, triumphs, suggestions and a flood of inspiration. Jean makes all this marvelousness in her <a href="http://www.thekitchn.com/jean-greenfields-blue-and-gree-99664">charmingly tiny kitchen</a> nestled in San Anselmo, CA. From her sunny windows she looks out on a backyard garden filled with fruit trees, berry bushes and beds of veggies galore, and puts together fresh wholesome salads, savory soups, flavorful mains and of course an abundance of sweet treats like <a href="http://www.myrecessionkitchen.com/2010/01/lemon-poppy-seed-pinwheels.html">Lemon Poppy Seed Pinwheels</a>, <a href="http://www.myrecessionkitchen.com/2009/11/pear-and-chocolate-scones.html">Pear & Chocolate Scones</a>, <a href="http://www.myrecessionkitchen.com/2012/10/apple-cinnamon-cake.html">Apple Cinnamon Cake</a> and more! :)<br />

I have a mile long list of fast nobake brownie recipes but today is a superchilly drizzly day here so baked brownies must happen! The smell of rich fudge brownies coming from the oven always cheers me (and my housemates!) right up and yumful squares of chunky chocolate keep everyone foreverhappy! :)<br />
<br />
Zsu is the coolest...she comes from a long line of restaurant pros so she's expertly skilled and smart in the kitchen, plus she's an animalhugging plantloving vegan! She turned her family completely vegan in one weekend and shares her secrets, tips and recipes with you too! She makes marvelous comfort foods including so many delectable <a href="http://www.zsusveganpantry.com/search/label/burger">burgers</a>, <a href="http://www.zsusveganpantry.com/2010/11/tgi-friday-mofo-16-and-vegan-kitchen.html">Fried Mac and Cheese</a>, <a href="http://www.zsusveganpantry.com/2012/01/langos.html">Lángos</a> (Hungarian Fried Garlic Bread) and these fudgetastic Brownies...so crazygood with a tall mug of <a href="http://www.veganstore.com/product/1084/other-chocolates">steamy hot chocolate</a>! :)<br />

<br />
Every year my family really does <a href="https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=%22roast+chestnuts%22">roast chestnuts</a> like the famous <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsLLXowBOsE">Christmas song</a>...most of the nuts end up in a traditional wine-soaked stuffing recipe from days gone by. For some reason I'm not a stuffingloving person so I groove on using chestnuts in sweeter treats instead. Liane's chestnut cream-covered cake is a yumfully wonderful choice! The cornmeal and teff is a flavorful combination and the chestnut cream is lickably delish...so good on <a href="http://moveeatbreathe.wordpress.com/2013/06/21/easy-bread-gf-einfaches-brot-gf/">hearty bread</a> or chocolate cupcakes or drizzled on roasted parsnips! Liane's recipes include <a href="http://www.laddhillchestnuts.com/Chestnut-Flour-1lb_p_14.html">chestnut flour</a>powered waffles, beignets and a luscious custard cake too! :)<br />
