Vegan MOFO Day #18: Beth's Pretty Pink Cookies

 

When Beth was going through her depressed-I-wanna-die-in-the-zombie-apocalypse phase, the real thing that made her turn around were these pretty pink chocolate chip cookies.

Andrea thinks it was her speech, Maggie thinks it was her love, but it really was just cookies. When the shit hits the fan and people start turning into zombies a sad thing happens to the survivors. They get bummed out and become the walking living. True dat. So if you think about it hard enough, everyone is a type of zombie in the apocalypse. Not all zombies eat brains. Some of us are peacemongers that enjoy a good cookie.

To make these, it's a cinch. Just take the recipe for chocolate chip cookies from Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar and sub the vegan milk with beet juice-(I used Biotta brand beet juice). That's it. Beautiful pink cookies. And you can't even taste the beet flavor! Who needs red food coloring? Secret to having chocolate chips in every bite? Don't fold in the chips/chunks. I roll out the cookies and add them to the top by hand. You use less chips that way, and you don't end up with a wad of dough that's missing chips while the rest of the cookie sheet has a population problem. I'm digressing.

Anyway, cookies=no depression. And everyone can use cheering up when the world is crawling with flesh eating walkers.

Vegan MOFO Day #17: Shhhhh....

 

Shhh, it's secret time! You know who got everyone at camp 'Pocky to go vegan? That's right, Merle. Scrape away the racism, drug addiction, and misogyny, and you have the makings of a passionate tofu lover. He preached the good gospel of the mental, spiritual, physical, and environmental benefits of eating a plant based diet. He didn't even drop an F bomb.

In fact, he avoided going to camp after chopping off  his hand so he could make a b-line to the local Target. Why? To use one of the sandwich presses. Running away from zombies can make one really hungry.

He took two slices of italian bread and stuffed it with West Soy brand tomato basil tofu, daiya mozzerella, arugula, sun dried tomatoes, and a little Earth Balance Mindful Mayo. That sammy made him feel so good, he never came back. Rumor has it the plant power helped  him grow a new hand.

Vegan MOFO Day #16: Did Somebody Say Cheese Danish?

  

Patricia can make a mean cheese danish. Fear not, it's not that hard to do, all you need is some crescent roll dough-(accidentally vegan! check the label.), vegan cream cheese, and strawberry jam. That's it. I personally make my own cream cheese because I don't have the money to buy the store bought stuff. To make your own cream cheese, simply rig a mason jar with a coffee filter and fill with unsweetened plain soy yogurt:

You let it set overnight and in the morning you have cream cheese.

 First you take your crescent roll dough and you lay it out like this.

 Then you put some vegan cream cheese and strawberry jam in the middle.

 Bake at 350 for about 10 minutes and you get this! 1 tube will give you 4 large and pretty danishes. If you're entertaining a large herd, you might want to make plenty because they'll get devoured in a hurry.

Just Like Patricia.
