Today was an exciting day because Anna and I had the pleasure of meeting Allison and her friend Kristin for lunch! I have been dying to meet Allison for years now (really almost two years) so it was so much fun! She is just as sweet,fun and cute as she appears on the blog! I am so glad I got to meet the famous Kristin we read about. She was so great and it was fun to hear about her wedding plans! I wish we had had more time to chat.
Since Allison is doing a 30-day vegan challenge, I had to think about what I could bring her that would fit into the challenge. I immediately thought of EDBV’s Supercharge Me cookie. I started to make them but then, for some unknown reason, I stopped following the recipe. I never really follow a recipe and to be honest – it usually works out. Turns out, it is more important to follow a recipe when baking vegan treats if you want them to taste good.
To compensate for my mistakes, I just kept adding ingredients. A little of this and some more of that.
This is how I ended up with vegan cookie balls. Nothing says “nice to meet you” like a bag of balls, right? 🙂
I don’t really have a recipe for these but here is what I know went into them: tasty vegan goodies.
- natural pb
- oatmeal
- ground flax
- brown sugar
- whole wheat flour
- coconut
- vanilla
- canola oil
I can’t wait to get together again soon! Thanks so much for meeting me girls!
yah – it was so nice to meet you!!! i am so glad allison asked me to join 🙂
after we got back to the office, allison was asking everyone if they would like to try a raw vegan ball – everyone thought she was crazy 🙂 they were so good!
p.s. anna is the cutest!
I want to meet both of you!
Such a nice gift you brought…very thoughtful 🙂
YAY!!! Thank you so much for the delicious treats and OMG IT WAS SO FANTASTIC to finally meet you in person! 🙂
I bet it’s super fun to meet up with other bloggers!! Glad your vegan treats turned out good!
I LAUGHED OUT LOUD at “Nothing says “nice to meet you” like a bag of balls, right?”
Food bloggers like the word balls way too much. I think that’s the secret reason we make so many of them.
i wish i had some veg cookie balls and a blind date!! haha <3 love it!
have a beautiful weekend!
