Joni really 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...500 Vegan Recipes, Best Veggie Burgers (of course!) and Vegan Food Gifts which has gotten a lot of use in the past few weeks. Going Vegan is getting gifted to a few of my not-yet-vegan family members...Joni and her superdelicious sandwiches and tacos and cakes, cakes and more cakes will convince them to cross to the vegan side!  ;)

I try every year not to buy vegan nog because I always 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.  ;)
