Miss 1-year-old bypasses the cute gift outfit and goes for the tag.
I've just returned from nine days in Seattle (that's why no posts) partying, playing, hiking, shopping and of course, eating, with family. We had a fabulous time, and consumed mounds of wonderful food that we didn't have to cook ourselves! Our kids are amazing cooks, and between their hospitality and Seattle's vegan offerings, we ate too well. Over the next few posts I'll describe what we ate and offer recipes when available.
We went to Seattle to celebrate our granddaughter's first birthday, and the event included an open house party with lots of kids, grown-ups and food. Here's some of the party fare:
Spinach dip made with Trader Joe's vegan mayo
Pasta salad made by Uncle Aaron
No-bake oatmeal chocolate treats made by Grammy Judy
Cake from PCC Coop
The cupcakes sank dramatically, so an emergency run was made to the PCC food coop to purchase two vegan cakes, banana and chocolate, which got decorated with raisins. The cupcakes were then rescued by filling in the craters with mounds of frosting! They looked perfectly normal...
Chocolate cupcakes from "Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World"
Antipasto
Red bean salad
Sweet Oliver keeps an eye on things. Wait, is that frosting on his nose?
Miss 1-year-old thinks food is good but cards are better.
