TANGY CURRIED
CHICKPEA SALAD

I'm a sandwich kind of girl. I love them. You can put just about anything in between two pieces of something bread-like and call it a sandwich. Usually portable, they've been around as long as history can remember.
In 2006, a court in Massachusettes determined that a sandwich does indeed need to include at least two slices of bread, differentiating it from items eaten in a tortilla and ending a dispute between Panera Bread and Qdoba. Yep. That really happened.
But either way, I love things stuck between two slices of bread or on a single piece, open-faced style. This tangy salad travels well, so wrap it up in a jar or bring that bread and munch on it anywhere you go.

PHOTOS FROM OUR WEEK

We've had a busy week and no time to tell you about all of the fun things we did. Instead, here are some photos to summarize what we've been up to this week.
A little Cindo de Mayo, a little family, a little Maddie.
You may notice that some of these photos were already on my instagram. Or not. But if you're interested in seeing the more personal, less photoshopped versions of some of these treats and more of my real life here in Maine, follow me: @amberstpeter.
Also, we have a real treat for you on Monday.
New recipe. And its one of my absolute favorites.
In the meantime, enjoy!

MAPLE PECAN BLONDIES
-GLUTEN FREE-

This recipe has been a long time in the making. Four tries, at least, until I was happy enough to share. The other couple tries ended in me smuggling ziploc bags of crumbly blondie squares down to the cabin before anyone could see how much I'd messed them up. I'd wait till 11 pm rolled around and I'd munch away the evidence.
I'm happy that this version worked so nicely: I can't afford to keep hoarding baked goods and waking up in a pile of crumbs.
Even if the crumbs do taste buttery, rich, and oh-so nutty...

Creating and eating delicious vegan food and sharing it with other people is something I love doing. I dabble in gluten free, sugar free, and raw recipes. The ultimate goal is ongoing health and wellness, with some treats sprinkled in along the way!
