Vegan Deliciousness!!

There is a fantastic food truck (now also has a bakery) called Kind Kitchen. I loved them the first time I had their Indian Taco. Fantastic. They support local farmers, make vegan AND gluten free items.

The coffee shop I work for recently incorporated them into our pastry selection, a brilliant idea. 

I had to do some prep work and walked in to these beauties:

Vegan- Gluten Free Red Velvet Cupcakes. 

I shouldn't have to say more, but I will go on...

 

I want this for all major events in my life.
Valentines Day.
Birthdays.
Anniversaries.
Just because.
"Oh we got into a fight, here's a 'sorry I made you mad cupcake'"

...LittleMiss's birthday too...

It's not at all dry, like you might expect of a gluten free pastry. And the 'cream-cheese' frosting isn't like the traditional cream-cheese frosting (that I honestly am not much of a fan of...). Which completely makes sense because it's vegan 'cream-cheese' frosting. I honestly haven't had many tries of regular Red Velvet cakes, but this one is just...fantastic.

If you are ever in Arkansas you have to try them.

Gluten Filled Cookies

Totally listening to Alex Clare TOO CLOSE, some how it fits. Total secret that no one knows, this song reminds me of SAA and I. Not entirely sure why, all I know is we aren't as compatible as either of us would like.

(the song came on on random for spotify, just to let ya know )

Well I found out one of the members of the gym is on the swat team for my area, and he is really nice. He was telling me about his dogs and all. After seeing End of Watch I realized how little people do to show their thanks for our local heroes; cops, fire fighters, medics, doctors ect. So I offered to make him some cookies. Since I have never made a gluten free cookie (yet I just went for it and did my classic chocolate chip (gluten filled) cookie. These things used to sell like crazy in high school. The officer requested blue m&ms so I bought a bag and picked out the blue ones, and set aside the red ones to make for the fire fighters.

I really hope they turned out well, I haven't made them in a few years! But I definitely miss baking, and can not wait to fine tune my skills in the gluten free world!!

On a completely random note, I just realized a lot of my relationship problems one: stem from my parents and two: from my lack of self worth.... I'm gonna need to work on that. :)

Hope you guys have a great Thursday!! (it's my FRIDAY!!!)

Mellows..The Rest of them...

aww the pictures. I really do think this the most pictures I've ever posted. but oh my gosh. DO THEY LOOK AMAZING!!! 

And yes that is a random photo of my breakfast the morning that I finished my BEER mellows. It is a long drown out process but it's worth it. My reviews of the 'mallows were amazing. I have definitely found my love of cooking and photography and decorating. Not gonna lie. I've been in an amazing mood lately. 

Oh and guess what!

I bought shower hooks!! I went from this...

to THIS!!!

I have TONS more to talk about(as always) but this is crazy long, so I'll leave you with your mouth watering. 

;)

Mallows??

This gal made some marshmallows tonight.
Crown-Mellows. :)

The batter tasted amazing. But I forgot something... The light corn syrup. Although I have no good excuse I will say I was slightly flustered by a friend of a friend.

But hopefully they will still be amazing. I know that the Beer (you did read that correctly...BEER)-Mellows will be amazing. I offer a bit of advice, Heineken, is very carbonated. This beer I would suggest leaving out on the counter over night.

I'll be posting the recipe after I get my reviews on it. ;)

Oh another bit of advice:
             A fifth of Crown is exactly one cup. (according to my measure-rs though..)

Here are some pre-pictures for you!!

Lookie! My NEW: Bowl, Candy Thermometer, TWO 9x13 pans, and blender!! eek!!

Sugar and Crown

Bubbly...

yumm..

I am so very excited. Not to mention next they will be covered in chocolate and pretzels!! *swoon*


Well....
I think I owe you a bit of a recap of this week!

I will be switching from T-Mobile to Sprint and getting the iPhone 4. No 's', just 4. :)
My mommy and step-daddy will probably join my plan.
I've decided I would like a short term room mate. (I have got to get back on my feet, and being financially screwed over isn't a big help..)
I went in to work to day for a few hours to get some extra training in. I had a good time, and was able to get some work done on work for work and school work.


I forgot to take my sleeping pill again...and tan... Not happy about either of those things. I think I'm just going to have to buy tanning somewhere...

I lost three pounds!! Although after these marshmallows I'll probably gain it back. But I will be going grocery shopping...sometime soon(getting low on the grub), and I'll be getting much healthier choices. I love healthy.


I'm a healthy-eco gal.


I'm also a bee fanatic. HoneyBees are amazing. Don't forget that.(I'll give more details later)



Ugh, I HAVE to make myself get some sleep. Night!!

( By the way, I wrote this whole post sitting on my counter.. It's actually very relaxing. )
