Epic Vegan: Pizza Dough Recipe

From BakeandDestroy.net:

[image error]

I’m so excited to share a recipe from The Vegan Roadie Dustin Harder’s (@theveganroadie) new book, Epic Vegan: Wild and Over-the-Top Plant-Based Recipes. Truly, he is a man after my own heart. The Crab Rangoon Pizza all starts with this simple Pizza Dough, but of course if you’re short on time you can skip ahead with store bought.

Friday Five: Vegan Travel Faves

From BakeandDestroy.net:

Today I’m headed to London (then Amsterdam, then Basel, then Rhein, then back to Basel, then Zurich, then back to London until heading home – whew!) Because I have so many flights (and trains) in so few days I’m trying to pack extra light! So here’s a roundup of some of the things making that a bit easier for me.

1. Coffee Wherevs

What’s worse, airplane coffee or hotel coffee? Honestly, I don’t know because with few exceptions, they both taste like licking an ashtra...

My 8th Annual Birthday Fundraiser for Grind for Life

From BakeandDestroy.net:

Yes, it has been a long time since I blogged. I started a new job, have been traveling a lot, and also, no one reads blogs anymore. Anyway, I’m back to tell you that once again, I’m fundraising for Grind for Life.

Shortcut: Donate Now!

For those of you who are new here, I’ve dedicated eight birthdays to fundraising for Grind for Life, a cancer non-profit started by skateboarder Mike Rogers, with a mission to help people with cancer. I ask my friends and family, and a...

Friday Five: Noochy Noodles Five Ways

From BakeandDestroy.net:

I eat this so much.

You know those family recipes that are like, some of this, some of that, whatever else you feel like, and dinner is served! I love those! For a long time my family lived on Bowl of Stuff, and every time I posted a picture of my bowl of the day people asked for the recipe. But there never really is one, because Bowl of Stuff is more of a concept than a recipe. (But then I did eventually write some recipes because I know not everyone is cool with win...

Friday Five: Five Things People With Imposter Syndrome Should Know

From BakeandDestroy.net:

Illustration by Heather Buchanan

Because I am a human person who lives on earth, my self confidence goes through highs and lows. In professional settings, people always tell me I’ve accomplished a lot, that I’m a wealth of knowledge about marketing and sales. Then, after the initial high of being acknowledged wears off, I kind of go back to wondering if I actually know anything about anything. And, in the worst cases of this, I become paranoid that people will soon fi...

Vegan Cherry Rosemary Pie Recipe Take Two

From BakeandDestroy.net:

A couple weeks back, Tony and I spent a long weekend in Atlanta eating all the things and seeing my brother and his new baby. While we were there, we stopped in Tinkertown Pies and had the most amazing Cherry Rosemary Pie. The. Most. Amazing.

Anyway, Kyle, the master pie baker, gave me his recipe and I recreated it at home! My first try was a little liquidy, I think because I was using cherries with too high of a sugar content (Skylar Rae®). So I tried again today wit...

Vegan Yack Attack On the Go! Blog Tour: Vegan Asparagus Omelet in a Bag Recipe

From BakeandDestroy.net:

I love Jackie Sobon’s inspiring vegan recipes and gorgeous food photography, but mostly I like her habit of liking the stupid, often mean things I say on Twitter. No, that’s not fair, she’s a prolific food blogger over at Vegan Yack Attack, and a two-time cookbook author, with the release of her new book Vegan Yack Attack On the Go! just last week. So yeah, I like the food stuff about her the most, but the part where she encourages me to be rude on Twitter second.

Tinkertown Pies’ Vegan Cherry Rosemary Pie Recipe + Three Days in Atlanta

From BakeandDestroy.net:

I travel from Chicago to Atlanta 1-2 times a year for work, and I always spend my time between meetings and shows stuffing myself with vegan biscuits and spending as much time with my friends and family there as I can. My little brother and his wife (and their new baby!) live about an hour outside of the city, and my friend Leigh, who puts on Atlanta Veg Fest, is also a local who always steers me to the best things to eat.

With my brother at Ponce City Market
