Steampunk Dinner Party

Theme parties with vegan cuisine. Everyone loves this. I made mushroom lasagna and eggnog cheesecake from fat free vegan (check her link under my blogroll). Both recipes ruled and were really easy to make.

Emily's Nut Roast
Mushroom Lasagna

Maria's Pesto Pasta

Chocolate Castle

Eggnog Cheesecake

Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies

Pumpkin Pumpkin Pumpkin. Its the end of December, I'm still holding on!

These cookies rocked! The recipe came from Vegan with a Vengeance. I've got to say, the best part about vegan baking, is worry-free spoon licking.

The flax seed was optional. I thought I would try to do it in my food processor. Bad move...the blade hovers right above all the seeds. The blender is the way to go on this one.

Also, never try to open a can with a knife. My can opener is from space so Nick and I thought it would be an alright idea to open the can with a knife. He cut his finger open, and I ended up with pumpkin up and down my arms. The good news is that we emptied the can of all its contents.

The cookies themselves we're chewy, gooey, and delicious. I didn't have one remaining by the time I got home last night.
