A big thank you to whomever put this recipe on Pinterest. All of a sudden, it’s getting a ridiculously crazy amount of views, which is really exciting.
Even more exciting was getting to meet the world’s largest rooster:
Actually, the chickens pretty much ignored me.
The pigs were much friendlier:
I had to make a quick trip to NYC last week, and so I took a side excursion to one of my favorite places: The Catskill Animal Sanctuary, a safe haven for abused, abandoned, and neglected animals.
Other trip highlights so far:
Ginger seitan from Gobo, an Asian fusion restaurant. Normally I’m really not a mock-meat fan. (Prior to this trip I don’t think I’d eaten seitan in over a year, which was perfectly fine by me.) But Gobo’s seitan is amazing.
Soba and veggies from Angelica Kitchen. See that basil pesto sauce on the top? I’m not exactly sure what they put in it to make it taste so good, but I don’t think it’s legal!
Cheesecake!!
I’m a cheesecake snob and have very high standards. A restaurant called Hangawi makes one of the best NYC-style cheesecakes—vegan or otherwise—that I have ever eaten. This time I bought four slices so I can take some home with me to Texas. They are that good.
Link of the Day:
You already have lots of cookie dough recipes… I vote for pop tarts 🙂
Pop tart would be amazing! Btw love your website and totally applaud what you are doing! I recently tried becoming a vegatarian earlier this year but with my busy schedule it was very hard to do. I was wondering if u had any tips on going veggie for the first time? Going to start with going veggie and vegan will just have to wait…

Hope that can be somewhat helpful!
Poptarts. I have been totally craving poptarts and would like a healthier way of making them.
Pop tarts. I’d love to see how you transform these convenient morning treats into something suitable for our kids ( and us)!
I have to vote for Poptarts. I miss them and I would love to see a vegan & hopefully gluten-free version! 🙂
pop tarts! and i hope your having fun in NY! (cookie dough sounds really fun too!)
Pop tarts. I’d love a low cal breakfast pastry. I love those Pillsbury Toaster Struedels – something similar to that would be good.
oh and here are flavors that i would love for the pop tarts! chocolate and pumkin, fudge, mocha, chocolate coconut, and blueberry. im so exited for the pop tarts AND the cookie dough. numnumnum
Oh my gosh! Poptarts all the way!!! My favorites are frosted strawberry and maple brown sugar! I miss poptarts so much.
Sorry I haven’t been here to post in a while, Katie. *Grin* But you’re doing fantastic, as you may already know. ^^ The site hasn’t had a server crash or anything – Always a good sign! 😀
Question of the day!! Yay!!! I’m gonna have to go with…pop tarts. I’m kiddin’, the pause was fake. XD Pop tarts, definitely!
The animals are so cute! I love piggies, and chickens. :3 And horses and cows and…well all animals. ^__^ I’m so envious though. THAT FAUX MEAT LOOKS SO GOOD. And the pasta, and…I think you killed me with the cheesecake.
Pop tarts get my vote!
Part of me wishes I still lived in NY! I didn’t grow up in the city, but I was only a few hours north of it. As a kid I didn’t really appreciate it. As an adult I’ve never lived there (I moved to Canada as soon as I turned 18). They have so many restaurants that sound amazing! Where I live now we don’t have much variety, and there’s only one vegetarian restaurant. I find eating out fairly difficult a lot of the time. Even for salads I normally have to request they not add meat! 🙁
Ooooooh, pop tarts, pretty please! 🙂
Poptarts. I want to make some for my sister. We used to watch gilmore girls, so we thought poptarts are super cool and super american. But they are so expensive here in germany.
Beautiful piggy!
COOKIE DOUGH, I’m not a huge fan of pop tarts…
I’ve been wanting a poptart recipe from you for ages!!! Pleeeeeaaaasssse 😀
Poptarts for this girl please!!!
Your visit looks lovely <3 We rescued some battery hens recently, and now we have three chooks living in our back garden. It's wonderful seeing them begin to recover, grow their feathers back, and learning that people can be good things (like bringers of corn). Well done for visiting the Sanctuary, it's great that you support these places, and that you post about visiting 🙂
I just wish I could do more. Thank you for opening your home (and your heart) to the rescue hens!
