Hello, and happy Vegan Tuesday! I realize it’s been a while since I last posted a recipe on The Fig Tree. But there is a good reason! I was on vacation in NYC. :) It was a truly wonderful trip. Jesse and I saw and did so many things! (Note: More details of our trip in an upcoming post) We were one of the last few flights out of LaGuardia on Sunday – so we just missed Hurricane Sandy. Thank goodness!
My heart goes out to all of those people across Eastern USA and Canada suffering the residual effects of the Hurricane. I cannot tell you how weird it is to have JUST be in NYC – where Central Park, Times Square and Grand Central were crawling with hundreds of people – only to then see how empty those same places were last night during the worst of the storm. So eerie! I cannot even imagine how awful it was to wake up this morning and find all of the debris in the streets and all the water in the subway systems in NYC.
Since I was away all last week in NYC, I was unable to prepare a new recipe for Vegan Tuesdays this week. However, I thought it might be fun to showcase a few of my favourite vegan recipes that I posted on the blog over the past two years for some inspiration. Sometimes it’s fun to revisit old posts – some tried and true favs! Maybe you’ll find a new favourite recipe amongst the mix as well! :)
Wishing you all a wonderful week. I’ll be back in a few days with a new recipe!
Love this list and all the links! Thanks so much.
Awe, thanks for the comment. I’m glad you enjoyed the links!
Glad you guys made it back safely and look forward to hearing more about your trip!
Me too! It was a close call. Who knows how long it would have been before we could have returned home had the flight not been able to leave! I have no idea where we would have stayed to wait out the storm. The hotels were all booked. Counting my lucky stars! Are you guys getting hit pretty hard?
YUMMMYYYY. Thank you for posting these beautiful recipes!
These recipes all look so delicious. Especially the Thai Peanut Satay.
such a great round-up of recipes! everything looks so delicious!
Great round up! Glad you guys made it back home ok. :)
It’s too bad our trips didn’t overlap quite right – maybe someday we will get to meet up in person!
So glad to hear you made it out of NYC just in time! Ouch – that was (and still) is so sad ;(
Happy to see this beautiful spread of goodies ;)
I love your photography and recipes. Well done! xo
