Vegan MoFo ~ New Friends!

Today's prompt for Vegan MoFo is...Reach Out!  Make a new vegan friend!  Well I think that is what makes Vegan MoFo great!  Each year I find new vegan friends online that I treasure long after the month is up!  I consider ANYONE who has visited my blog and commented to be in that group this year.  You can visit them on my BLOG ROLL post and if I have missed anyone please let me know!  Someone I really want to throw a SHOUT OUT to is someone I 'met' prior to this years Vegan MoFo and I absolutely LOVE their blog!  This person is great!  Some may know them as Vegan Peace others may know them as Vegan Power or perhaps you know them by the name of My Cat Loves Daiya which is the title of her blog!  No matter what you call her she's great and so is her blog!


I'm so happy I found her blog or she found mine either way she's great!  Funny thing is - she used to live about an hour to an hour and a half from me and I didn't even know it until about a week before she moved to the other side of the country!  BUMMER!  BUT...at least we have the blog world, right!  Another reason I would like to do a shout out to this person is because she's a great commenter and last week she made a comment on one of my posts and suggested I do a Tomato Soup!  Well, I took her up on the challenge and made the soup you see here!  It's a Vegan Tomato Cream Soup!  It only has 3 main ingredients with a few optional ingredients or ingredients you can add to taste.  Here's what's in it... 5 Tomatoes, 1 Avocado, 4 Sun Dried Tomatoes, and Basil Leaves, Sea Salt, and Cayenne to taste.  Special Thanks to Vegan Peace for this suggestion/challenge!

Vegan MoFo ~ Quick, Easy, Delicious Raw Vegan Creamy Carrot Soup!

Today's Vegan MoFo Prompt is "Quick, Easy, Delicious"...well most of my foods are QUICK so I figured what could be quicker than throwing some things in your high speed blender?  Take a look at this Raw Vegan Creamy Carrot Soup!  It only has a few ingredients and the sprinkled ingredients on the top are optional.
3 C Carrots (Chopped)
1 C Cashews
1 C Water
Sea Salt to Taste
Optional: pinch of Nutmeg, pinch of parsley


This is going to be a short post today but I wanted to remind you to sign up to be listed on my personal Vegan MoFo BlogRoll by commenting on THIS POST.  I wanted to THANK everyone for visiting and commenting thus far.  I will be working on some scheduled posts for this weekend as my online status will be spotty.  I would love your input on some things so here are today's questions!!!

Since I will be doing more raw vegan soups - what ingredients would you like me to try and use or feature?  Another question - what's a FUNKY suggestion for a flavored hummus that you might have?  And Finally - name 3 fruits/veggies that have a similar color that you think I use focus a recipe around.  Have a Blissful Day & Happy MoFo!

Vegan MoFo ~ BREAKFAST (And Then Some)

Yup!  It's FINALLY HERE!  Vegan Mofo 2015!  This is my 4 year participating...I believe!  It's something I look forward to each year, indeed!  I wish Vegan MoFo was EVERY MONTH but I know it takes a LOT of organization and I want to THANK the organizers of this annual event.  Learn more at VeganMoFo.com.

This year the organizers have developed prompts to get us going and I may post loosely based on these prompts but will be participating most days regardless.  I may miss a weekend day from time to time but will do my best in the meantime!

Before I get to my first post I wanted to let everyone know that I have started a BlogRoll for people who comment on my blog.  The direct URL for this BlogRoll is located HERE.  Or you can see the logo in this post on my sidebar, too!

My goal is to network more and more with MoFo-ers each and every day and try and have lasting relationships year-round!

Today's Prompt is...

Rise & Shine!  It's MoFo Time!  Tell us about your breakfast!

Well, here it is!  It's a "Handful Of" Smoothie!

What I mean by that is I literally threw in a handful of all of the following to make this...Cashews, Blackberries, Blueberries, Strawberries, Raspberries...and added just enough Cashew Milk to cover it and blended!  It's pretty yummy and I hope to make a Raw Vegan Ice Cream using these ingredients soon, too!

As a mid-morning snack...

I will be having a few (or more) of these dried apple slices!

For course I am drinking various teas - like I normally do - throughout the day, too!

Lunch is yet to be determined but I'm guessing it will be a large salad because I made some pretty awesome tangy ranch dressing last night and it seemed to hit the spot with the thrown together salad I had last night for dinner, too!

Here's a photo of the dressing.  I will most likely be submitting this recipe to The Raw Food World NEWS Site and their Recipe Section very soon so hop over there and sign up for their daily email newsletter to recipe upcoming recipes!  It's FREE!  If you are new to my site here at My Blissful Journey and would like to see more of my recipes that I have contributed to The Raw Food World NEWS Site and their Recipe Section view my PROFILE here.


Again, I've VERY exited about this years Vegan MoFo!  Please let me know if you are participating and/or if you would like me to add you to my personal BlogRoll for this event!  Looking forward to any and all feedback and meeting some new veggie friends!  Woot!
