Snap Krackle Pop !

Vegan Rice Krispie Treats!! I have made one previous attempt since going vegan to make these childhood treats, but was pretty unsuccessful... the result was dry and tasteless. So I turned to a recipe I knew I could trust, the Nicer Krispies Treats from ED&BV. In addition to the gooeyness of the treat itself, these are filled with pistachios, white and dark chocolate chips, pistachios, and coconut. Perfect for a pick-me-up after planning vegan outreach events with Society of PEACE here in Houston (I shared these with our planning committee).

And here's a simple dinner consisting of gnocchi with sauteed mushrooms and garlic and earth balance over a bed of pureed roasted sweet potatoes with garlic. Kind of an overkill on the potatoes, the components are better kept separate I think. But it was an experiment, plus I was trying to get rid of my plethora of potatoes.
I made my first green smoothie! Well, the color is actually kind of bleh. I used two kale leaves, in addition to my standard favorite smoothie ingredients (banana, strawberries, mango, peanut butter, flax meal, and soy milk). Afterwards I felt so proud of myself for getting some greens in my tummy before noon! I think I may try spinach next, the flavor is milder so maybe I can add more and make the color a bit more pleasing to the eye.
Okay, time to go do dishes...
