BANANA BREAD COOKIES with COCONUT CREAM + CHOCOLATE SAUCE


These cookies taste like banana bread. We all like banana bread (except for the crazies). Therefore, we (except for the crazies) will all like these. [Note to crazies: I do love you so, but the fact that you don't like banana bread makes me question your sanity, that's all.]

OREO-ISH TARTS: VANILLA WHIPPED COCO CREAM with CHOCOLATE COOKIE CRUST


I am back from Montreal. Hey. 

For the four-ish weeks I spent there - away from home, Jack, Dante and Blender - I remembered a lot of important stuff about myself, and realized some new things. It was a whirlwind of experiences, people, places, emotions, tastes, colours, smells. I felt overwhelmed most of the time but what else is new. I often feel overwhelmed living in my particular world because I usually think [too] extensively about everything that is happening around me (and not around me). So being in a new place WITH the same over-thinking brain took it to the next level. Meditation was more difficult than normal, probably because of this. I went on a lot of walks by myself so I could have time to ponder who I am, what I want, my relationship with the external universe, and that kind of thing. I had some pretty intense and excellent discussions with my friend's roommates; we talked about the difficulties of navigating the current world in relation to gender, race, class, location, education, etc. Besides classism, I am generally optimistic about where we are going. Obviously - or maybe not that obviously - most human groups are still routinely oppressed by societal and political structures in place, but we are on the right trail; we're just at the beginning of the hike. 

PHOTOS FROM MY NEW COOKBOOK


Alright, people. I've been talking non-stop about The Rawsome Vegan Cookbook for months now (on social media anyways, I actually haven't mentioned it much on my blog here) and FINALLY I can say it's coming out in just a few weeks. SRSLY THO. December 8th, 2015 is the publishing date and I could not be more excited. This post is mainly just gonna show you some sexy food pics that you will find more of in the book. In the book you will also find recipes to go along with the food pictures. Because, ya know... it's a cookbook. Needs recipes.
