Vegan Cinnamon Rolls


To make the dough:

·        Mix 1 packet active dry yeast with 1/2 cup lukewarm water and 1 tsp sugar. Let this sit for a couple of minutes.
Add 1/3 cup sugar, 3/4 cup unsweetened cashew milk, 1/3 cup olive oil, 3/4 tsp salt, and 1 tsp cinnamon.
·        Mix in 2 cups of flour, and then continue to add flour by the 1/2 cup full until you have used about 3 and 1/2 cups.
·        Knead mixture to form a soft dough and then place in a dishcloth covered bowl for an hour so that the dough can rise. 

 For the filling, mix together:
·        1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup regular sugar, 1T cinnamon, and 2T flour.
·        Then stir in ¾ cups chopped walnuts and ½ cup raisins.

 

Once the dough has risen, place it on a lightly floured surface and punch it down. Let it sit for ten minutes and then roll it out into a 12 inch by 18 inch rectangular shape.

Sprinkle the filling evenly over the top, and then dot periodically with about 1/4 cup of margarine using your fingers.

Roll up the dough as tightly as possible lengthwise, then cut into 12 pieces and let rise in your lightly sprayed baking pan for 45 minutes or until the rolls have double in size.

Bake at 375 for 18-22 minutes, and ice with icing mixture (3/4 cup powdered sugar, 2 T vegan milk, and 1 tsp vanilla).

Ambo Ethiopian: 902 N State Street #104

The moment I have been dreaming of for over a year now has finally happened--Mulunesh Belay has opened Ambo Ethiopian again, now in it's new location!  As soon as I heard the news, I knew I would be there for the very first moment that she opened. I did not want to miss a moment and I could barely stand the waiting. Yesterday, November 16, 2019, was the grand opening in the new restaurant on N. State Street, and my husband and I went with some friends to celebrate and once again enjoy Mulu's amazingly delicious cuisine. (And yes, we were the very first ones there). I ordered the kale and yellow split peas and everything was just as good as I had remembered. I am already planning when I can eat there again (which will be tomorrow evening, in case you are wondering, followed most likely by multiple evenings this week!!). Over this past year, I have missed the delicious vegan food from Ambo Ethiopian, and Mulu's beautiful bright smile, more than I can say, and I am

Bayou on Bay: 1300 Bay Street

Not only does Bayou have several vegan options on their menu, they also have weekend vegan brunch options! If you have not yet tried the vegan hash, I recommend it.  This mouth-watering dish takes potatoes, avocado, onions, other veggies--cooked just right and combined with the perfect amount of seasoning--to create a fantastic dish you will want to eat again and again. Weekends are just that much better when you can incorporate brunch at Bayou into them!

Pigs Peace Sanctuary: 27631 56th Ave NW, Stanwood, WA

I can't believe I have wanted to visit the Pigs Peace Sanctuary for nearly 20 years, and then finally, yesterday, my wish came true. And the experience was truly amazing. If you are not yet familiar with the Pigs Peace Sanctuary, I encourage you to learn more about it. We are so lucky to have such a valuable place so nearby Bellingham. Not only does it provide a safe place for rescued animals to recover from trauma and live out their lives in peace and happiness, it also offers humans a place to connect with and learn more about these beautiful, often misunderstood creatures.  Judy Woods and  the volunteers that help her are doing really incredible work and you cannot help but be moved by the stories of bravery, survival, recovery, and connection that Judy shares with you when you visit the sanctuary. Tour appointments have to be scheduled and approved with Judy in advance, and people are eligible to sign up as volunteers with the sanctuary after attending a tour. My tour
