April 2013 treat of the month

May 7th, 2013

Orange glazed ginger cake, peanut butter caramel rice crispy treats and cashew milk chocolate lollipops!

The April treat was truly a month long endeavor. The orange spice cake made it’s debut at the Vegan Shop Up in April. It was a huge hit.

I felt it needed to be a bit darker in color,but did not want a heavy molasses taste. So… inspired by a recent divine carob ice cream experience at Lula’s Sweet Apothecary, I decided to use carob to darken the cake. Amazing idea if I do say so myself! Again, it was a huge hit!

I still was not 100% satisfied. With the addition of a bit more chopped candied orange, now even I’m happy!

The final and most delicious version!

We rounded out the package with some rice crispy treats and chocolate mustache lollipops.

Gratuitous mustache lollipop post

May 7th, 2013

This is a gratuitous post about chocolate lollipop mustaches, featuring some of my favorite people wearing their food and making art! Click the links and enjoy the art. Then feel free to laugh at the photos. Vegans are fun! And talented!

Cashew milk chocolate mustaches! Face it, these are fun; and, as a bonus, they're super tasty...

I made these lollipops for a recent performance by my dear friend Michael Harren. In addition to performing, he got funding from Veg Fund to promote veganism to those in the audience. This meant putting out some pamphlets on transitioning to veganism and providing vegan snacks.  Gone Pie made the sweets for the snack table. Wanting something delicious, portable and fun, naturally,  I chose chocolate lollipops….. more specifically, creamy milk chocolate (cashew milk based) mustaches, dipped in dark chocolate.

Here at Gone Pie, we encourage you to play with your food! Here are some of my friends and family, doing just that!

My Mom!

Gramma’s tempeh pot roast recipe

April 21st, 2013

I don't know how people photograph their meals! I just wanted to eat. So these rushed offerings will have to do.

This tempeh pot roast was our dinner last night. It was amazing. We used a very fresh local tempeh this time, which made the dish even better than it usually is.  We served it beside kale and noodles in tahini sauce. Perfect pairing!

I know there must be a really great story behind this recipe. I should really ask my mom. I love the weird combination of ingredients she used adapting her traditional recipe to this amazing vegan version.

CARAWAY MARSALA TEMPEH POT ROAST

-olive oil
-1 or 2 packages tempeh (we used this soy-free variety)
-1 large onion (1/4 inch slices)
-3 portobello mushrooms (1/4 inch slices)
-dry minced onions
-dry minced garlic
-2 dozen or more peppercorns
-2 peppers, red and/or yellow (minced)
-caraway seeds
-2 bay leaves
-1 cup vegetable broth
-1/2 cup mirin
-3 Tablespoon OrganicVille Tangy BBQ Sauce
-1 cup or more vegan Marsala wine

  • Layer the bottom of an oven-proof pan with the olive oil.
  • Layer the sliced onions and mushrooms on the bottom of the pan.
  • Thoroughly sprinkle both sides of tempeh with onion and garlic flakes, then place the tempeh on top of the onions/mushrooms.
  • Combine remaining ingredients – EXCEPT MARSALA – and pour over the top of the tempeh.
  • Cover and bake at 325 degrees for 45 minutes.
  • Add marsala 1/2 hour before serving.

February 2013 treat of the month

March 17th, 2013

February treat plan: Grainfree snickerdoodles and apple almond coffee cake

February’s Monthly Plan featured a pairing of  the old and the new. We selected an old favorite item (apple almond coffee cake) and a brand new item (The GonePie Snickerdoodle), in an unusual monthly package  without chocolate!

The GonePie Snickerdoodle is a product we just developed; our grainfree take on the classic American snickerdoodle. The recipe for this one is adapted from, of all things, a paleo baking recipe and is grainfree. A rich, chewy cookie with the flavors of almond, coconut and vanilla coming through the cinnamon sugar topping.  These have been a big hit with all our taste testers

The second item, apple coffeecake, is one of our most popular special items. In this month’s package, we made a 6 inch version; a blend of applesauce, almond and spices, which we finish with a lightly spiced, sugar crunch topping.

These items are not currently available and are EXCLUSIVELY available to our monthly plan members!

This post is being made for archival purposes; the package highlighted in this post is no longer available. This was a subscriber only package.

Members received:

1 – 6 inch apple almond cake

6 snickerdoodles

A Very Vegan Pesach 2013

March 14th, 2013

THIS ITEM IS NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME!!

best macaroons ever!

Vegan/grain-free vanilla and cocoa spice macaroons

As a vegan, I find that as holidays come up, the best way I can relate to them is with a positive food memory. If I think too hard about the meaning and customs of many holidays, I will find myself sitting home on a lot of holidays. Passover, to me is a lovely Spring meal with a bit of ritual, a treasure hunt and MACAROONS!

So I will tuck a box of Gone Pie macaroons under my arm and head to my Seder! Or maybe I will just send a box and stay home with my cats…

About our macaroons:

We use a blend of non-grain flours, coconut products and agave in our vegan version of this Passover classic. Please be advised our bakery is not fully cleansed of grains (Chametz). The macaroons themselves, are 100% grain-free and unleavened.

Ingredients: organic coconut, organic agave nectar,organic coconut milk, organic coconut flour, almond flour, tapioca flour, organic coconut oil, grain-free vanilla or cocoa and spices, sea salt.

Your macaroon choices:

Each order is a box of 8 macaroons. Each macaroon is 2 inches in diameter and weighs a little over an ounce. Macaroons are available in vanilla or cocoa spice.

A peak inside the box....

8 Mixed Macaroons

Order Mixed Macaroons!

8 Vanilla Macaroons

Order Vanilla Macaroons!

8 Cocoa Spice Macaroons

Order Cocoa Spice Macaroons!

Order a box for yourself, and one for the family…. We can do the shipping for you!

If you order three boxes to the same address, you will receive a $5.00 discount. We will automatically credit your account for that amount before we send your order out.
