What are you craving?

[KLS52]

Cake. Layered. With lots of whipped cream and or icing. But it has to be a very moist cake. Maybe even something like a rum cake where it's dripping with liquid, lol. Yes, I feel very specific today. I haven't had cake/cookies in a while so I'm feeling withdrawal.

I do have some frozen strawberries in juice in the freezer. If I wasn't so lazy I could make a vanilla cake and then drizzle the strawberries and juice over it and top it with some coco whip. That would do it. But alas I am too lazy. Not really lazy… It's freezing cold in this house which makes it really difficult to be motivated to do anything. It's hard to function when it's this cold.

I do have the frozen vegan chocolate chip cookie dough from bishops in the freezer. Maybe I'll air fry two of those and have it with a nice hot cup of tea.

I had a cookie with a cup of almond milk. It was so good.

I've been craving a cake like a tiramiso, or a trifle--nothing too sweet
What I just made did NOT satisfy! I've been wanting to try a dump cake--cherry pie filling topped with 1/2 a boxed chocolate cake mix, then topped with pieces of vegan butter. (I halved the recipe). It wasn't bad, but dammmmm it was too sweet, and had that artificial taste. Now I know
Honestly, I could see it being good with a homemade cake batter over the pie filling

It wasn't just the cloyingly sweetness, but the salt .

Since going vegan, where I started baking from scratch, I can no longer tolerate the taste of anything from a box. It's interesting to me.

I love tiramisu. Three Girls Vegan Creamery makes a fabulous one (most of the time). Last time I had it it tasted old/stale. I haven't been back there in several months but I'm thinking I might try them again. Maybe they were just having a bad spell.

I was so disappointed with them the one time I tried them that I haven’t been back.

I’m fully averse to cold, I’d move to somewhere warmer

Oddly enough winter is my favorite season. I could never survive in a warmer climate.

It's more of a "we are too cheap to give our money to the electric company for heat" issue lol.

A lemon tart.

A pistachio bun.

I bought 2; 1 for me and 1 for you that I’ll eat.

Citrus. I was at the store today and they did have Cara Cara on sale, but again, there were soft ones
I need to suck it up and buy some individual grapefruits and good oranges. Last bag of clementines that were half bad, and other half barely ok
I feel a need for citrus! If it weren't for frozen berries I wouldn't get much fruit at all

I've been craving citrus, too. I got some oranges at Aldi, and this bag seems better than the last one. They are nice and juicy. I want some grapefruit as well.

Citrus is something that I enjoy, can only eat in small quantities… If I eat too much I get arthritis flare ups from too much acid same thing with tomatoes… I love clementines and last year I was eating lots of them which I paid for in arthritis!
The long sweet red peppers are probably my Main fruit source! Since moving from France and living in Ireland I don’t really enjoy fruit anymore… In France it is always So perfectly ripe, fresh and sweet

I crave citrus a lot too.

That's something I'd like to make! I think Isa has a recipe-nooch it's

I think it's earth balance that makes them but I was only able to get them in Whole Foods and now I don't have a Whole Foods near me.

Oh yeah, I haven't seen them in years. I so hate whole foods. I used to so love their huge bulk section--beans, grains, salts, things I've never heard of before. Now it's owned by amazon , so even worse .
I also remember Pirates Booty noochy cheeze puffs--I wonder if they're still being made?
