| Hello Corn Dogs in a Pot |
First off let me say
- we're almost at 100 likes on Facebook!!!
If you're accessing me thru blogger, go "Like" me on
Facebook! I can't wait to hit 100 and
more!
Ok, next let's talk about a past veganization.
Normally, I'd be
doing a regular one but two things are in my way. 1 - I need to chillax a little bit this month
because of (as always) money issues, and #2 - my baby Lotus turns 4 this coming
week and her party is this weekend.
I've made her cakes
from day one, and as a proud sub mama, I want to share with you each creation
up to this year (which I'll also share on my FB page on Saturday when I've
finished.)
I give you my baby
girl's cakes from Birthday 1 to 3.
:) (and also a cake I made for
her big sis, Rin).

| Big sis Corinne's 8th Bday cake (Hello Kitty - not vegan) |
I've never been a
great decorator, but I do try to do my best.
That flag cake for the fourth - that wasn't my best, but I was
hurrying. No matter, let's get to a
revisited veganization for 'all american picnic' month here at RoVL. :)
So, last year (for Fathers Day at the Hoffman's I believe) I made vegan corndogs and red white and blue potato salad.
I wanted the corndogs
to be cute - so I put them in a little flower pot and covered them in pink
cellophane so they looked like little flowers.
I thought they were adorable.
They didn't get eaten (well I think maybe 3 out of 35 people ate them -
there were some pretty 'fearful' meat eaters there. My question is, why fear a plant food? You eat veggies, right? Geesh.
The potato salad went over better.. considering that wasn't mentoned
that it was vegan.. only the corn-dogs.
If you don't tell someone.. they eat it. If you do, the panic. What's the sense?
Ok, so no more
picking on the Hoffmans.
I'd found that the ex
really loved corn-dogs. She would buy those
Morningstar ones that are NOT vegan. (Morningstar has very little that IS vegan
btw - kinda sucks, but I love their riblets).
So those were for her. I got the
vegan doggies, and created my own corn-dipping batter. This was super easy. I put them on skewers, fashioned up my flower
pot and dipped them in, then fried them til they looked awesome.
So not only did they
look awesome, but they tasted awesome too.. yum. I'll make these again someday. Just have to find my recipe again... which I
have to do anyway!
It WAS a hit, it was
gone.. i took none of it home - so yay for that one. (However I'd have taken
the lot of it home if it had the words 'vegan' written on it, but I digress).
This veganization to
me was a sensation. The ex loved the
corn-dogs so really that's all that mattered there since I'd made them for her
anyway.
And the numbers on
these? Let's look, shall we?

So, there you have
it.. while you’re pondering these items, I’ll be making a birthday cake.. and
for the most part (save for some décor) it’s going to be completely vegan
because I really have nothing in my house to make anything UN-vegan anymore,
nor do I plan to purchase anything of the sort..
So – I guess we don’t
tell the guests.. but baby-mama and I know that even if we do – that means her
and I get cake for a month!
Have a beautiful week
all – and just wait for the veganization I have next week.. it’s another
Cincinnati favorite. Hold on “Great”ly
to your cones!
