Mount Saint Helens was Beautiful and People Like my Food

As I mentioned in my first posting we (my honey, college friends and I) went to Mount Saint Helens yesterday. The day started out cloudy and got progressively clearer. By the end of the day we were able to get a brief glimpse of the lava dome. We went for a nice eight mile hike that gave us a spectacular view of Sprit Lake and Mount Saint Helens.

The food also did its part in making it a magical Vegan Holiday.

We had:

• Spinach Hand Pies
• Lima Bean Humus with Raisin Almond Flat Bread and Vegetables
• Green Grapes
• Vegan Raspberry Zingers

I will post the recipes later. Enjoy this photo of the food for now.

Labor Day Hike and Picnic

It’s Labor Day this weekend. We are going for a hike at Mount Saint Helens in Washington State with friends. I am working on vegan menu that packs well and is fun to eat.

I made a lot of Strawberry, Raspberry and Apricot Jam earlier this summer. I want to do a snack cake with jam and coconut. I am thinking of a vegan version of a Raspberry Zingers meets Lamingtons meets vegans.

I am also working on a vegetable hand pie.
