In my blind taste test this week, here are some of the things I liked best:Happenings:
- My Auntie Dolores disappeared when I was five years old. I distinctly remember the DEA rolling up to her farm about a week after she left it behind looking for her. I've always wondered why. I also sort of wondered, what became of her. (c'mob, she was weird okay). Now I think I finally have my answer to both questions. Auntie Dolores is that you in California making all those marijuana laced pretzels that are (gasp!) vegan and sugar free?
- A Brooklyn arsonist is caught on tape setting a popular vegan restaurant on fire. After perusing Yelp reviews, I think I've got a few suspects. Suspect numero uno? The girl who said "This place deserves to go up in smoke for serving me food like this."
- A pretty hilarious blind vegan vs meat taste test on Good Mythical Morning with Rhett and Link
- The Daily Meal names their nine best destinations for Vegan Travelers. In a bit of a surprise, to me at least, Tel Aviv is given top honors.
- Could Google be entering the vegan meat market? I know some people might be scared off by this report but I see it as a total positive. Imagine the possibilities if Google Now were to begin updating cards based on what I've eaten. Or better yet, what Google's "meat" observes on the way down and out. Eat the meat one day, the next day your phone recommends all the top rated colon doctors in town. That's a win in my book.
- Hey gamer, the butcher goes vegan is now available for both iPhones and Android devices.
Recipes:
Chia Waffle Cones featuring Maple Peanut Butter Ice Cream by Vegan in the Freezer
Whatevs on the ice cream. Don't get me wrong, I like peanut butter and maple and all, but what really drew me to this recipe was the chia waffle cone. That thing is magical. I could see hauling a couple hundred of those cones along on my next 100k race. That would be a much more efficient way of getting my chia than my current one (dragging one of those red wagons behind with a keg full of chia and blueberry smoothie in it). Not last place, here I come!

Dessert Bruschetta: Caramelized Mango and Banana by The Lunchbox Bunch
If you are like me and you show up somewhere with bruschetta, it's over. Before you know it, you've eaten an entire tray and have no room left for the main course (which probably isn't vegan anyway). This problem is solved by The Lunchbox Bunch, it's called dessert bruschetta. Now you can fill up all you want on bruschetta because it is closing out the meal. Unless you are like me and always eat your dessert first...

Vegan Chocolate Blueberry Cake from Boards & Knives
For some good chocolate on chocolate action, with a bit of organic blueberries thrown in, might I suggest this cake from Boards & Knives. You'll only need your ingredients plus four strips of parchment paper and dental floss because, well, chocolate on chocolate action can get a bit messy.

Creamy Spinach Sweet Potato Noodles with Cashew Sauce from Pinch of Yum
My spiralizer isn't getting much work these days because my zucchini comes out frozen. What to do, what to do? How about spiralize something that doesn't even go in the refrigerator? Pinch of Yum's sweet potato noodle recipe fills this need perfectly. I can see the future and the future is spiralizing sweet potatoes two...maybe three nights a week. *Rummages in cabinet. Now where is that damn spiralizer, I just had it like three months ago.

Peanut Butter Cup Oatmeal from Mindfully Moni
How many of you out there have ever woken up from an awesome sleep and thought, 'Man, I'd really like to eat a peanut butter cup for breakfast but it isn't very socially acceptable so I'll just settle for this bland oatmeal instead?' No one? Really? I'm the only person who ever thought this. I must be...
Aw, I see what you people did there. Freaked me out for a second. Thank you Moni for raising your hand. Peanut Butter Cups for breakfast have now become socially acceptable.
