Espresso Revolution

Happy National Espresso Day!
Espresso is expected after every holiday meal in our family, along with a lineup of sweet wines and flavored spirits. My lovable old Italian uncles still like their espresso the old-fashioned stove-top flippy way. One of these days they'll warm up to The Espresso Revolution!  :)

Espresso baked with yumful chocolate is always crazygood...you don't taste the coffee as much as you taste superamazingly rich chocolate bliss. Give it a shot!  ;)

The Great Loaf Off

I'm helping a friend find the perfect vegan "meatloaf" for a Thanksgiving potluck next week. He's stuck on the idea of a nut loaf and he's grooving on pecans so we're cruising cookbooks and wandering websites on our recipe quest. Fortunately we're finding boatloads of holiday nut loaves all over the vegan place...unfortunately we can't decide which one is the best. Sooooo we get to spend the weekend test driving these nutty puppies.  ;)

In honor of Georgia Pecan Month, here are a few of the pecan-friendly versions we've found...
