We had Friendsgiving last night, and now that my vegetarian dressing has been both tested and approved by a gang of vegetarians, I figured I'd toss it out into the world in case anybody needs it, since US Thanksgiving is, oh, tomorrow, and I know a lot of vegetarians who never get to eat the dressing, which is THE SADDEST ACTUAL THING ( Read more... )

Yes! You read that title correctly! It has been too long, internet! Casa de Fangirl hasn't stopped cooking, but I definitely had to put a hold on the GFP's while we sorted out all this Grown-Up Life Stuff (finishing our fancy graduate degrees, finding gainful employment, searching for the perfect new place to house Casa de Fangirl 2.0). One of us ( Read more... )

Christmas! Christmas was good. My parents got me Ugg boots, for reasons passing understanding, but they are soft and warm and my feet are always cold, especially at my parents' house because my dad is morally opposed to the heater, or something, so it was a good gift. My brother got me the first season of NCIS, which I am super, super excited about ( Read more... )

It's that time again! In this round we have pumpkin pasties, some Thanksgiving dishes (with recipes!), an apple tart, some tomato chutney and a birthday cake. No pictures of Meaty Meat Dishes this time!

( ETA: Now behind a cut, because yes, this is IMAGE HEAVY. :D )

After several weeks of partying and dining out and living extravagantly, we figured it was time for a return to healthier eating here at Chez Erin & Mary. Never fear! We haven't given up our love of completely decadent desserts-- that is, after all, why they invented Cheat Day, and next Saturday I'm pretty sure I'm making a three-layer cream cake, ( Read more... )

YES! It is that time. Time for another Gratuitous Food Post!

For tonight's round of the GFP, we have Sweet & Sour Spare Ribs, a Rum Apricot Galette, and my mother's Vegetable Soup (but made by me, not my mother). As you might imagine, two of these dishes have meat! One of them does not. Here endeth the introduction.

( Yada yada this is image-heavy yada yada )

It has been way too long since I did one of these! I know, I know, last time on Erin's Food Post, I promised that we'd have pies made in the pie molds I got from Williams-Sonoma. I really intended to make that happen, but instead, I made tiny hand pies. I regret nothing.

( This is a shorter food post than I usually do, but it is, as always, image heavy! Neither of these dishes have meat! One of them is actually pie! )

Yes, internet, it's time again for another GRATUITOUS FOOD POST!

( Obligatory mention that if you click this cut, you are prepared for an IMAGE HEAVY post about food, food and more food! Some of this dishes have meat! Some of them don't! One of them is actually a triple chocolate fudge layer cake! One of them is an alcoholic beverage-type recipe! ENJOY THIS IMAGE HEAVY FOOD POST. )

So, in honor of sabinelagrande's glorious return to Casa de Fangirl, I made a cake. I made a Banana Upside-Down Cake with Chocolate Peanut Butter Glaze. (I also made a meme, with help from leiascully and sabinelagrande. Woo!)

( You guessed it! Behind this cut you will find an image-heavy post that is all about food! Both these dishes are meatless. And delicious. )
