2 years, 500 posts, 1 big announcement

Time flies. It's been two years since we started this humble blog and whadya know, this is our 500th post. Well..... maybe I sorta planned it like that. Still, that's a long time and a lotta posts. Life was hard a year ago and we didn't do much for our blog anniversary then but we wanted to have something fun for dinner tonight. We just posted about savory pancakes, now it's time for the pancake's skinny counterpart the crepe. Actually Amey beat us to it but I swear this meal was already planned before I realized that. I was looking back through our archives recently and I realized that we've posted about The Flat, our local take-out crepe stand, and about making sweet crepes for breakfast, but we hadn't made savory dinner crepes yet. So I whipped out the crepe pan... wait, we don't have a crepe pan - it's just a standard 10" fry pan. So I got that out and made a batch of crepes, which we filled with sautéed mushrooms, spinach and tofu (the Veganomicon Braised Tofu recipe - quite yummy).

But even better than that was this fabulous chocolate cake that Darlene made for dessert. Chocolate cake with chocolate cream cheese frosting no less. The recipe was from Sinfully Vegan and it packs a powerful punch. Normally I'm one for getting seconds on dessert but one piece of this cake is enough to satisfy the most serious chocolate craving. The frosting didn't get extremely firm but that didn't detract from the delicious-ness of the cake.


Now I also promised a big announcement didn't I? How's this for big?

We're having a baby!!

Our little one is 15 weeks along now so that means that by May next year our lives will be changing in a big way. Our lives are already changing. Has anyone noticed we've been eating more greens? Small changes now, larger ones to come. So far mama Darlene is doing pretty well - feeling sick quite often buy not terribly so. And it hasn't affected her appetite much so we'll keep eating and hopefully posting about lots of healthy vegan food. For the time being anyway. I'm not sure what this blog will become - maybe we'll post less, maybe it'll be more about vegan pregnancy and parenting, maybe once the baby comes we won't have time for posting at all anymore. But we hope you'll stay tuned to find out.
