Happy Thursday!
I’m looking forward to some nice weather for a change. Double-digit negative temps get old after….about five seconds.
I was in such a savory and green filled mood today.
I developed a brief love affair with Rocket in Australia. Only to discover they call it Arugula back here in the U S of A
Not as exotic as I thought, huh?
Well it was still hard to track down at any grocery store!
Rocket Salad with Sunflower Market Chipotle Salsa, Cherry Tomatoes, Feta Cheese, and a spritz or two of Balsamic Vinegar
I also had a nosh on this:
Rye Wasa Cracker topped with Tofurkey, spinach, and stone ground mustard
x 2
I was feeling creative bored, so I decided to whip up a bunch of variations of the Vegan Frosting Recipe.
(read: I had two containers of tofu that were about to go bad if I did not use them.)
Three variations in total. I kept the recipe the same. The only part I altered was subbing out any added sweetener and the cinnamon for other variations.
Carob Version: made with carob & chocolate amazing grass .
*My Favorite*
It has a hint of coffee flavor to it even though I didn’t add any coffee!
Maple Nutmeg Cinnamon Version: Added pure maple syrup, nutmeg, and cinnamon.
Green Monster Version: Added Spinach, Agave and Vanilla Chai Amazing Meal (which gave it a berryish flavor)
Taste the Rainbow? Ummm…
How about Taste the Earth?
I could paint a very zen room with my earth tone collection of vegan frosting 
Once I figure out a way to consume all of this frosting (Don’t worry I am enlisting in the help of willing friends)
I have ambitions of creating a peanut butter variation. mmmmm
Okay soo no flax was consumed today…but lucky you!
You get a Flax Fact of the Day just for shits and gigs
Flax Fact of the Day: Ya know omega 3 enriched eggs?
Well basically that just chickens who were fed a diet with a lot of flax in it
So, why don’t you just skip a step and eat the flax yourself?

Love it!!! I was always wondering how those egg companies could claim that their eggs had omegas in them. I agree — just get the omegas from the direct source instead of a secondary source.
Amen, sistah
Love the maple version, and also teh carob one if it tastes a bit like coffee! I don’t have access to lovely protein powder like that, but at least I can add the sweetener aspect
Off to look at the atual recipe now!
The carob one was my favorite! I just added the Amazing Grass for fun, but it’s not necessary at all
