4th of july

My poor salad dressing challenge was, of course, instantly ruined with an office luncheon, and a horrible lack of groceries, but I don't think that it's over. Prepared salad dressings still bore me, and often shock me with the number of fat grams in every serving, so I'm still on the hunt for dressing alternatives! I've been looking around google, and I'm liking that there are lots of great ideas out there- pureed fruit, low fat (& vegan) yogurt with spices, a little oil with mustard or ginger or shallots. The possibilities are endless and I'm ready to continue the search!

On a side note, I hope everyone had a lovely 4th of July. I've been awfully m.i.a as of recent, but I'm attempting to climb back on the wagon, so there will hopefully be some tasty postings appearing here very soon.
Funfetti cake + cream cheese frosting + fresh fruits = one badass independance day cake- definitely NOT vegan, but festive regardless. If you wanted a less sinful version, simply replace the eggs, and you've got yourself a vegan funfetti cake! The Post Punk Kitchen has a really great article on egg replacers- highly recommend! You could also substitute that oil for some applesauce, and feel even better when you devour that second piece of cake! Happy holidays! I hope it was lovely. ♥
