Vegan Baked Chocolate Donuts from Ancient Grains
There’s a new vegan grain cookbook in town: Ancient Grains by Kim Lutz. I met Kim last year at a conference and she is a sweetie! I enjoyed hanging out with her and I know you are going to enjoy her tastyVegan Baked Chocolate Donuts.
Kim’s book focuses on millet, oats, spelt, farro, sorghum and teff. Of course, I’m all about anything with oats. After writing a whole book on Oats, OATrageous, I still can’t get enough of them! I love Kim’s idea of making oat milk and freezing it into ice cubes...

Let’s Have a Vegan Picnic!
Memorial day is just around the corner, then we have 4th of July and before you know it we’ll be getting ready for Labor Day. To me, the best part of this time of the year is eating outside with friends and family. For me, that includes Cheryl and our 2 dogs and 2 cats.
I wanted to do a roundup of some of my favorite recipes that are perfect for this time of the year. Best of all, you can still cook these inside if it’s a rainy holiday like Memorial Day will be for us. Have a wonderful time...

Blueberry Whiskey BBQ Salad with Tempeh and Roasted Potatoes
I’ve been craving a big dinner salad ever since last week. When I’m finishing up a book it picks my meals for me – especially when both my freezers are chocked full of all the goodies I made to photograph. No room means it’s lunch or dinner for the night.
This week things are lightening up and I’m more in control of my meals. Plus I wanted to enter the#BlueberryToss #FWCon contest and had some great blueberries on hand.
This salad has blueberries in the BBQ sauce, the dressing, and scattered...
