Falafel Pizza

Two things I adore: falafel and pizza. Thus, I love this recipe. A lot. 

My friend Emily recommended a new blog, not so subtly called The Vegan Stoner, and I quickly fell in love with it. The recipes are simple and delicious, and the best part is that they have great illustrations to go along with each recipe. I was immediately drawn to the recipe for falafel pie, but I decided to make it a little fancier. The recipe called for falafel mix and store bought hummus, but I decided to be ambitious and make both myself. It definitely added some more work, and I'm sure it would be great with the store bought ingredients, but the home made version is excellent. Enjoy!

Plum Cobbler

When I think of cobbler the first things I think of are butter, ice cream, and Paula Deen (she seems like someone who makes/eats a lot of cobbler...). I was very surprised to see this recipe for plum cobbler on my favorite blog, Fat Free Vegan. This just seemed like a dessert that would fall apart (literally) without butter and cream and other very non-vegan ingredients. However, I was very intrigued and decided to make it for my Passover seder this past weekend (I don't keep super strict passover, but it should just be noted that, unfortunately, this cobbler is not Kosher for Passover). There were lots of other delicious non-vegan cakes at seder, like fruit topped cheesecake, flourless chocolate cake, and strawberry shortcake, but I can honestly say that the plum cobbler was one of the biggest hits of the night! It definitely got rave reviews, and with some almond ice cream on the side I must admit that it was pretty perfect. This cobbler would also be great with other kinds of fruit, like figs, blackberries, peaches, or apples. I highly recommend that you make this cobbler as soon as possible, but if you have to wait until after Passover then I guess I understand!
