happy christmas (eve)

Cards

My new thang... paper cutting cards. I'm totally in love.

Graffiti

Definitely one of my favorite art... spaces.

Dreamy

Little Horn Speakers

Too bad I won't be able to afford 'em for a LONG while...

Vegan Banana Bread

Slightly altered (less sugar) from ppk . Pretty darn good... I think I'll try to veganize mom's recipe next.

Little Big

I don't know that I've made this "public" yet... but I'm a Big w/Big Brothers Big Sisters. My little brother moved to CO in October and I was finally matched with a new little. Lily and I met yesterday and had our first hang time today... we had so much fun we had to call and ask for more time (2 hours over what we had planned).

Here's some of the damage we did:

I'd say we're quite the match. :)

London Fog Cupcakes

Hands down the fave... Altered a recipe for Chai Latte Cupcakes - made it with Cream Early Grey, omitted all spices, added extra vanilla, and topped with Vegan Buttercream Frosting. Mmmmm

Chocolate Stout Cupcakes

HAD to buy some Oatmeal Stout from Marble JUST to make these...
life is hard.

Green Tea Cupcakes

I can admit, maybe these funky lookin' green cupcakes weren't the best first try at vegan cupcakes... but... you know me and my tea so...

Brooklyn Pad Thai

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Let 'em glow...

PUMPKINS!

Gaby's first stab at pumpkin carving!

First snow of the season!

Yipeeeee!

Can't wait...

...for trick-or-treating :)

(mostly) vegan stroganoff

so. good.

Tofu Scramble

I purchased a Cast Iron pan this weekend and, I must say, I am IN LOVE!

Tofu Veg B-fast Burrito

I'm going to try, real hard, to not eat out... I wanted Java Joe's this am... so I made my own. Total cost at Java Joe's for tofu burrito + veggies + x-tra green and coffee = ~$8.50 + tip... Total cost at Casa de Nichole for tofu burrito + veggies + x-tra green and tea = ~$1.50. Nutty, 'eh? I'm a little embarrassed I don't do this more often. Things will change.

Business Cards

wow!
