Friday Food on Vegan Steroids: Vegetable Love, Pudding Cake, & Anatomical Cookies

Holy recipe roundup. There's a Vegetable Love contest happening over at FatFree Vegan Kitchen, and 34(!) bloggers and their delicious, mouth-watering animal-free entries (photos & recipes included!) are competing for top honors. I'll let Susan of FFVK explain:

This year, thirty-four bloggers stepped up to the challenge to create a romantic, vegetable Valentine's Day dish, and the results are impressive. The entries are all so creative, delicious-looking, and downright sexy that I'm certain that I could never pick a favorite.

Fortunately, that's your job. Please do these contestants the honor of visiting their blogs and reading their full posts before you decide which one should be our winner. Though a picture may be worth a thousand words, it can't replace the information and inspiration you get from checking out the actual recipe. After you've looked them all over (and maybe even left a little comment love on their blogs), come back here to vote in the poll, located at the end of this post.

Want to add your two cents? Vote by tonight!

And worry not if you're looking for something less vegetable-oriented to try out this weekend--Susan posted one of her own fabulous creations a few days ago: Chocolate-Covered Cherry Pudding Cake. Yes, that's what I said. And yes, I've no doubt that it tastes as incredible as it sounds and looks.

And for those of us who plan to celebrate Singles Awareness Day or just do our best to ignore the goings-on of tomorrow, there are Anti-Valentine's Day Cookies from Yeah, That Vegan Shit, reminding us that hearts are not cute and sparkly. They actually look like this:

Thanks so much for the link to the Vegetable Love contest. I'm happy with the response it's gotten this year and proud of all of our creative vegan bloggers. But the anatomically correct cookies--they'd probably win if they'd been entered!

Where's the grass at? I didn't see that on the list of ingredients, and I'm confused.
