02 January, 2008Happy New Year!
Yum yum yum. We have here some of the delicious food Mary and I whipped up for a little New Years Day vegan brunch we threw yesterday. Homemade granola, black eyed pea salsa, tons of fruit, muffins, scones, oh my!
Altogether around 20 people showed up including some very cute kids. I think Max was showing everyone his belly covered in (temporary of course) tattoos right here.
It was a gorgeous day and we were able to leave the windows open and let a breeze blow through. I think everyone had a good time and we got rave reviews on the food!
Pumpkin cranberry scones. I made these, they turned out good although I’m not a big scone fan. Recipe is from Veganomicon.
Coloring table for the kiddos in the craft room.
Joanna’s rosemary home fries (sooooo good) and carrot spice muffins Mary brought.
Max was a source of endless jokes and entertainment for everyone. I’m inviting him to every party from now on haha.
Pumpkin waffles, another big hit (recipe from Vegan with a Vengeance). I love my Belgian waffle maker. Behind the waffles you can see some apricot granola Amanda brought, they disappeared lightning fast! We also had cheezy grits (from the Papa Tofu zine), tempeh bacon that Mary brought, tofu scramble, coffee, tea, OJ, etc. What a great way to start out the year. Big thanks to everyone who came and for Jimmy and Mary for all the help. I think it was a big hit!

What a feast! Everything looks delicious. Happy New Year!
Man, I need to crash one of these parties to eat all of that awesome food!
droooool.
YUUUUMMMMMY! I made those same pumpkin waffles for our New Years breakfast yesterday. Today we made carrot/raisin muffins from the same cookbook, VWAV. LOVE.
ooooh yum...even though I'm not vegan I loooooooves me some vegan cuisine! Happy New Year!
That food looks all kinds of yummy. Happy New Years, babe!
Wow! Sounds like a great start to the new year!
your site is so sweet of course///happy holidats to your family from ours///
That food look so good!
omg, everything looks SO good! i (think) i've made rosemary potatoes like that before, if they're just red potatoes tossed with olive oil and rosemary, and they were freakin' good.
Looks like you threw an awesome brunch party! I've never seen black-eyed pea salsa before - beyond cute! I got a belgian waffle maker for Christmas, and I am so excited to start using it (your pumpkin waffles look mighty good...). If you're looking for any good waffle recipes, the Chocolate Chip Brownie Waffles from Veganomicon are a must-try!
I love your photos!
I'm a stone cold meat eater, but that food looks really good!
joanna...do you have a recipe for those potatoes....i didn't see a search function on your page (sorry to hijack your post, Amber)
Those scones look great, I will have to give that recipe a try!
Happy New Year, Amber!
hi amber, every time i check your site i am excited to see new pictures of your home and your life in general. i read about 25 to 45 blogs a week
(i am disabled with arthritis and don't work so lets just say i have a lot of free time) and i just just this blog, i would say you are in my top 2 favorites (next to the black apple of course) and you just have lovely taste in everything!
i wish i was half as talented as you.
happy new year!
Happy New Year! The brunch spread looks awesomely inspiring. Don't know if anyone is still reading this, but how do vegans serve (what looks to be delicious) homemade granola? Seems like it would be kinda dry and crumbly just to eat on its own.
who are the people in the picture above the line "Altogether around 20 people showed up..." The dude in the black shirt and the girl in the orange sweater look like my next door neighbors.

Thank you so much for all of the recipes with pictures!! I have a lot of food allergies and can modify some of the one's that you have shown! I also have the Vcon cookbook and am slowly trying new things. I am now inspired to try even more because of your amazing food pictures! Thank you again! please keep posting!
