winter

This vegan incantation of my mom's sensational brandy cream recipe can be made in five minutes and is utterly divine. This cream is delicious poured over Christmas pudding, fruit cake or berries. Or, try the "scoff-straight-out-of-the-blender" approach that I have been sprung indulging in this week! I deliberately kept this blend mild to accommodate children, and those people not fond of a really strong brandy flavor. But if you are like my family and can't get enough brandy - feel free to adopt my mother's approach, and free-pour like an alcoholic bartender and enjoy the ride.

This is a delicious warming smoothie for the colder months.

All the goodness of traditional veggie pot pie except with more nutrition =]

My boyfriend bought me a Vita-Mix for Christmas, and I would have opened it on Christmas had the deliveryperson followed directions and didn't leave it on the front stoop for me to run into when I came home :(

This recipe was adapted from the Vita-Mix website (http://vitamix.ahoy.com/recipe/recipe.cgi/0/122/). He had no idea I 'tweaked' it; I fed it to my SAD friends and they LOVED it. Just in time for winter, too!
