Last night’s Birthday bash was a good time! I was a bit slow moving when I got up this morning, but it was nothing a little juice, water, hot yoga, and Union Square Café Bar Nuts couldn’t fix…
Eric asked me to make the famous Union Square Café Bar Nuts -a double batch! Everyone always raves about them and they make the house smell intoxicating…a great appetizer. I followed the recipe to a tee, except substituting the butter for Earth Balance.
Karly, Dan, Jesse, Zac, Jaime, Henrick, Steve, Ange, Nienke, Preena, Morgan, Sarah, Adam, Lisa, Nicole, Blake, Stephanie, Ricki, Cameron, Nancy, Jen, Eric and I made up the group. It was a full house!
We had a few organic red and white wines, Corona, Organic Mill Street, Sangria, and some hard liquors for the alcoholic bevs.
And some Kombucha, pop, and juice for those not drinking.
The potluck was a success…so much good food! Lots of vegan and gluten-free options as well.
On the menu:
- Mediterranean Salad
- Kale salad
- Scalloped Potatoes
- Chickpea sunflower burgers
- Edamame Caviar
- Lentil Stew
- Fresh-inspired layered spinach salad
- Red hot chips & salsa
- Homemade Edamame hummus and veggies (I used my fav hummus recipe and added 1 cup cooked edamame)
- Samosas
Ange’s Whole Foods Re-Creation, Edamame Caviar:
Check out the sweets! Everything was vegan and a lot of it was also gluten-free.
The desserts:
- vegan chocolate cake
- raw cookies
- Raw crepes with berries & cream
- Happy Hemp Two-Bite Brownies
- Lemon poppy seed Bundt cake
- Raw triple berry fruit crisp
Also, check out the vegan chocolate cake from Whole Foods that Karly brought. It was absolutely delicious. Moist and super chocolaty. :) I had no idea that Whole Foods made vegan cakes!
I was birthday song serenaded. :)
Raw crepes from Lisa:
I will be hounding her for the recipes and making these crepes stat!
I also got spoiled with thoughtful cards and gifts. :)
After beer, wine, and Sangria last night, I was not feeling so hot when I woke up this morning!
I made myself a big juice to start the day off right…
About half hour later my headache was gone. It’s a miracle. Then I had a breakfast of leftover raw crepes with fruit crisp, water, and finally, hot yoga late morning. I almost bailed on yoga, but I was glad I went because I felt human afterwards.
Today, was more prep & cleaning and then potluck #2 with family. We were celebrating Mother’s Day, my FIL’s birthday, and my birthday. May is a busy month!
We kept it simple with salads, a BBQ, and a few leftovers from last night.
Shout out to my BIL, Dave! (He reads my blog every day) :)
I had 3 more glasses of wine tonight…hopefully I won’t regret this tomorrow. ;)
I had a veggie burger, Ezekiel bun, ketchup, BBQ sauce, and a few salads all mixed together.
[Do you notice that these photos are a bit fuzzy? I wasn’t using my tripod…it makes a big difference.]
I had some leftover vegan chocolate cake & a brownie bite for dessert. :) There is one slice left and I’m hoping Eric doesn’t bring it to work tomorrow…
Well, after a fun weekend, I need to rest up for my Birthday tomorrow.
Hmm, it looks like someone has already beat me to it…

Happy Birthday, Angela! Here’s to a healthy, happy, fulfilling 28th year =]
You know you’re at a blogger bday party when there’s wine AND kombucha on the table. ;)
haha yes!
Happy Birthday. Looks like lots of fun.
It was a great party–so glad to have been there! And if you get that crepe recipe, you have to promise to share ;) Sounds like the celebration is going to just keep on going. . . my kinda birthday! Happy, Happy birthday to you! :D
Happy birthday! That vegan chocolate cake looks so good!
Happy birthday! It looks like you celebrated the best way possible: with friends, awesome food, laughs and your glow!
I’m glad you had a great (early) birthday Ange!! I think 3 birthday celebrations is the way to go. It sounds like potluck round 2 was just as delicious as the first. Have a fab dinner with Eric tomorrow night! :)
Yes I do (well almost every day)
Happy Birthday Ang!!
hehe…there is always room for improvement I guess! ;)
I love that vegan chocolate cake from whole foods! SO much good food in this post! Happy Birthday!!
HAPPY BDAY!!!!!
My 10 year wedding anniversary was May 14. I posted all about it. How cool that your bday is either the 14th or very close to the 14th.
And wow, the food. Oh yes! The edamame caviar salad, the last pic with all those condiments on one bun (love!) and all the desserts…from brownies to raw crepes. Holy awesomeness!
And the bar nuts. Ok must make those too!
What a lovely awesome bday celebration! And you don’t look a day over 21. Are you sure no one carded you with the sangria, wine, and beer?
:)
Happy Anniversary Averie!
Haha, so funny about not using the tripod. Sometimes I do that if I’m in a hurry and end up getting frustrated. :) It looks like both parties were a huge success. I’m so excited that you got some chill time with friends + family. I so wish I could have been there to help celebrate!! The food + desserts looked outstanding. I wouldn’t have known where to start! You look beautiful, per usual. Love the shots of you + Eric. Tell him I said hello!! Miss you!! xo
wow what a crew, that looks like it was a lot of fun! thats not a typical spread at a birthday party haha, it all looks so delicious especially those raw crepes wow! happy birthday!!!
Happy birthday!!
We have the same birthday btw :)
Happy birthday!
happy birthday the food looks amazing as does your party im jealous of the desserts too… hope your 28th year is the best yet!
It looks like you had a fabulous birthday weekend! Happy early birthday and hope it’s an amazing one tomorrow! =)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Your birthday menu sounds so exotic and unique! Chickpea burgers and raw crepes sound amazing :)
Happy Birthday! It looks like you had a great time, and the food looks awesome.
Happy birthday Ange :) It looks like a fantastic weekend and I hope your Monday is just as good. Have a great day xx
Looks like it was all a blast!!
Hope you wake up feeling fab tomorrow!
Looks like so much fun!!
Happy Birthday!!! :D
Happy Birthday Angela! What a fun party — all of that food looks delicious and everyone looks like they had a great time!
You are glowing in all of the pictures! :)
Happy Day!
May 16 is my birthday too! Love the food from your blog, and your writing :) also where did you get the cute top you were wearing at the party with your friends?
Have a great day!
Happy Birthday!
Thanks, the top is from Jean Machine.
happy birthday! looks like a LOT of delicious eats! (: I love all your photos.. they make me want to get a good camera RIGHT NOW!
your kitty is so so cute <3 I love her coat, so pretty! My cat is always so skittish but I love when she cuddles with me (:
This all looks so wonderful! HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Also, I’ve been perusing your site for days on end because when I return home from study abroad in a month I want to make a huge vegan feast for my family and boyfriend to show them it isn’t all “weird food” and that it is actually delicious! :)
Happiest Birthday to you lovely lady! May this next year be your best yet =)
Everything looks wonderful, including you! I’m de-lurking to wish you a Happy Birthday, and I also want to thank you for your excellent blog: I’ve been addicted to VOO for about two months now (although I’m trying to make a change with the Power House Glonola I made last week but at breakfast-time it seems I’m more of a VOO monsta than a granola monsta :D), and I’ve made so many of your cakes and desserts which my friends and family and I love – ideally I want to become vegan after being vegetarian for about ten years, so I’m trying to have more vegan meals in a day until I barely notice I’ve even done it!
You’re truly inspirational and you’re helping me to change my life for the better, so I thought your birthday would be a good time to comment and say thank you and congratulations :)
PS Thanks to Eric and Sketchie too, for being awesome!
Thanks so much Jenny! :)
Happy Birthday!!! Wishing you the best year :)
Busy weekend but at least it was a “good” busy.
Awww…Sketchie is so cute :-)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANGELA!!!
Great party photos! Everything looks soo tasty, especially the desserts (obviously). I’m so glad to hear your potluck was a big success! That’s a relief your juice cured your wino-head pains (I hate that!). Wish I could have been there! Sending my love all the way from Melbourne!
Love the shirt you’re wearing during your B-day celebration! Where is it from?
tks! its from jean machine
Happy (late) Birthday! I’ll be 25 this year so I’m not far behind you!
what a wonderful time!!! Happy Birthday for tomorrow!
Looks like a great time and amazing food. Glad you sent the year out right and ready to welcome a new one.
Suzanne
What a fun weekend—great way to celebrate your bday! Sketchie is so precious in those pics. I thought he was more standoffish–I’m surprised to see him all cuddled up with Eric.
he is a real cuddler at night time!!
Happy 28th to you! I’ll be doing the same in July. So weird to think I’m nearly 30… half the time I think I’m barely 21! LOL!
Those chocolate crepes look fantastic. If there’s a time of over-indulgance, your birthday weekend is it! :)
Happy birthday!!! Looks like an awesome potluck! I would also like to see the raw crepe recipe!
Happy birthday, looks like a fun evening!
That super juice looks amazing…what did you put in it?
It was 1 beet, 3 carrots, 1 lime, small 1 inch piece ginger, and half a grapefruit I think!
What an amazing, amazing night!! How wonderful to have such loving, and food-loving, friends and family at your beck and call :D
Happy Birthday!!! Looks like you had a great time!
I LOVE your jeans. What kind/style are they?
thank you! They are bootcuts from guess…not sure of the exact name though.
Happy Birthday Angela! It looks like you all had a ton of fun and you look beautiful :)
Happy Birthday!!! You look gorgeous!
Happy Birthday lady! You really do glow with happiness in these photos. Also… I absolutely adore that you offered kombucha! :) Love it.
I love the jeans you have on! What kind are they?
thanks! They are from Guess. :)
Happy Birthday!! I love that your potluck was mostly vegan…super awesome :) Looks like you had tons of fun celebrating!!
What kind of kitty is that?! It looks like a tiny leopard and I love it!
Thank you, a Bengal :)
Happy Birthday Angela :) Enjoy your day!!
Good food, good drink, good friends, good times! I want to recreate that menu! Do you think you can compile some recipes?? That would be awesome!
How cool! I’m saying goodbye to my 22nd year tonight! :) May 16th is such a good day! Happy birthday tomorrow!
Happy Birthday, Angela. You inspire me every day with your beautiful food, your beautiful photos and most importantly, your beautiful spirit! <3
Wow! Everything looks so yummy! I definitely think there should be a follow-up post including all the recipes people used. Everything looks so delicious!
Happy Birthday! It’s a bit late but it’s still your birthday somewhere on this Earth so it’s all good, right? Btw, you look gorgey as usual in all your pictures. Your hair is amazing. Gah. So jealous ;)
Hi & happy birthday! I recently started following your blog & I love all of your recipes.. the food always looks amazing. Also, it’s pretty nice to know I’m not the only goofy girl with a camera that takes photos of her cat & hubby sleeping! :)
Hope you had a great birthday – sure does look like it! Here’s to a wonderful 28th year! :) x
happy Birthday :)
It looks like a super great party… both party actually :)
You hamburger looks really delicious….. mmmm
Happy Birthday for the 16th Angela! My birthday is also today! Your birthday looks like a lot of fun and you look beautiful as always x
Happy Birthday!!! It sounds like you had a great party. Please share the recipe of the crepes if you get it! Your cat is adorable :)
Happy Birthday!
I love your blog and the recepies.
I never saw a cat with the fur looking so much like a tiger! Lovely!
What a wonderful night! Thank you for inviting my to the celebration.
As an early morning birthday gift to you – here is the crepe recipe http://www.veganculinarycrusade.com/2011/05/carob-crepes.html
The non-carob version is just 1 cup banana + 2 TBSP waster + 1/2 cup flax – follow the directions in the post!

i love the idea of a potluck with friends to celebrate – think i will borrow that party idea for my next bday!

Happy birthday Angela!
For some reason i had you pegged as older… but you’re only a young’un still…haha
Here’s hoping you’ll have a fab birthday!
Do let that husband of yours spoil you!
Hugs.
Marit
Happy birthday Ange! Your party looks like a smashing success. :)

what a perfect way to end your 27th year! My 28th is next month too. Relish in it! We get wiser with age, right?
:)
HAPPY Birthday, girly!!
Thanks for having us over – it was a blast :) I hope today is a ton of fun too!
Happy birthday! I’m glad to hear you’re extending your party to two days- the older you get, the longer your birthday celebrations should be!
happy birthday beautiful girl :) what a way to send off your 27th in style!
Happy Birthday! You look gorgeous and so happy in your pictures.
The food looks delicious and the group looks like they are all very happy!
of all the content to comment on from this post…I’m choosing your CAT. And I’m not even a cat person…but I’d consider it if I could have a cat that looks like yours. Wow, beautiful, tiger and cheetah. So cool.
Happy birthday…BTW, I don’t where it is now but you had a post about yoga in a studio…it makes me what to try. I don’t know if I could keep my mouth shut for an entire class though. I’m a talker, especially when I’m faced with something that I’m not familiar with.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! Sounds like you had an absolute blast this weekend and hope today treats you even better!
Happy Birthday Angela! Looks like you had a lot of fun. May your 28th year be even better then your 27th!! :)
Aww kitty and hubby are super cuteness :-) Happy Birthday!!
Always love your posts, but it’s great to get such a fun glimpse of your life and see so many beautiful pics of you…happy birthday!
Angela, you look beautiful in all of these photos! It looks like you had a fabulous birthday celebration with lots of good (and healthy!) food and good company. Happy birthday! :)
Happy birthday Angela! It looks like you had an amazing weekend of celebrations! :)
Wow! That was some birthday bash. Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday! May your next year bring you even more success and exciting adventures (for us to read about too!)
I just wanted to say how ‘glowing’ (or whatever the manly word descripton for that would be) Eric looks! He just looks really really healthy, happy and rested, and his skin is glowing.
It looks like you had a beautiful birthday! I love party leftovers ;)
I think this is the first time I’ve noticed your painted walls — I’m loving all the colors especially the green in the kitchen! And that picture of you and Eric against the orange is so cute :D
It looks pretty, fun, and delicious all at the same time! Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday Angela! Sounds like you had lots of fun with friends, family and delicious food around!
Ana
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEAR ANGELA!! xoxo
Happy 28th! Looks like such a fun weekend filled with friends and food :)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! :D
Happy birthday! That looks like a great way to celebrate another year of life.
Happy Birthday!
If it isn’t to much trouble, I would be very interested in the chickpea veggie burger recipe. I just made my first every veggie burger this past week, and was blown away by the flavor. Sweet potatoe & black bean vegetable burger, delish!
Thank you,
Yolanda
You can ask Stephanie from http://www.lungesandlunch.com :)
Your kitty has the coolest markings! Too cute.
Love the birthday bash photos, it looks like it was a total blast! :) Happy birthday!

Ahh! Happy Birthday!
No homo but your SUPER PRETTY AND SEXYYY GURL!!!
I love your jeans!
Those burgers look awesome and so does the cake!!
Just wondering do you usually use your tripod for ALL your photos? or is it just food?
I’m a new reader and just wanted to wish you a happy birthday (it’s also my hubby’s bday today). I hope you have a fantastic day! :-)
I am so so happy that I got to be a part of this night. Thanks so much for having me, Angela! And the food just kept going all weekend, eh? Maybe I should have gotten you a detox tea instead! ;)
Here’s wishing a WONDERFUL birthday to a girl who is gorgeous inside and out!

I also did not know Whole Foods did a vegan cake, good to know. :)

Happy Birthday Angela!!! All of that food looks absolutely scrumptious. I’m glad you had a fun but relaxing weekend.
Looks like a fabulous gathering, but I think I would have opted to just hang with Sketchie on the couch. COMFY! :) You are only glowing more beautifully as the years go by, Angela! Happy Bday!
It was SOOOO fun. Next time you’ll have to come to our neck of the woods! :) Also – have fun at the restaurant tonight (you’re going tonight right?). I still have yet to have my birthday celebration. My boyfriend has been out of town since the day before my Birthday (mine’s May 7) so I’m dying to go out to a new spot :)
Happy Birthday fellow May baby! :)

Aww Happy Birthday!! Sounds like my kind of party! The food looks incredible! It’s so hard to find organic wine though! Wherever do you shop? Also, what kind of camera do you use? Thanks Angela!
Happy Birthday!!! What a healthy/fun looking party- I love the kombucha and vegan chocolate cake, what great ideas!

Happy Belated Birthday Angela!!!!!!!
Happy Birthday!!! The bash looks amazing :) You’re so adorable to have kombucha for the guests. I hope 28 is everything you ever dreamed of! I’ll be finishing my 28th year next week. In the past year I’ve passed the bar exam, married my lover, honeymooned in Tonga, roadtripped across the US, moved to another Continent, sold a car, bought a car, and worked the nightshift for the first time. The years just keep getting better!
Aw. i love it! Makes me want to celebrate my birthday 6 months early. :)
My favorite is the last picture.. so sweet!
Better late than never: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
It looks like you had a really good time, you do look lovely!
Okay it is official; I am adding you to my blogroll! :) I love your blog! I have the Healthy Strawberry Oat Squares with Homemade Jam in the oven right this moment! I had to make some substitutes so I hope it still works out! Thanks so much for all your fun recipes and post! :)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! :)
First – Happy birthday!! Second – your cat is SO cute. Third – Can you invite me to your next get together? The food looks AMAZING!!! haha
Happy Belated Birthday Angela!!!
Can you share what was in the Fresh inspired tempeh salad?????
I dont have the recipe but I will post it if I get my hands on it!
Angela, first of all, thank you so much for being an inspiration to me! Your blog is my go to place for my transition to veganism (and hopefully a 50lb weight loss too – 30 are already gone because if this switch! :-)) Anyway, I really rely on your recipes and your wonderful spirit so much!
Otay, I didn’t read all of the comments and the food looks nummy-licious, as usual but oh my GOSH your cat is gorgeous!!! What kind is he or she? Looks just like someone we’d see in our local zoo!
Thanks again for everything, Angela!

It looks like you had such a great time! Happy Belated Birthday!
Hi Angela,
Happy belated birthday!! Looks like you had a fabulous celebration. I LOVE the wall hanging you have in a couple of your photos… The one in the green room with the plates. Where did you find it? It is gorgeous! Thanks.
Thanks! Its from Pier 1 :)
Happy Birthday!! your party looks fun and the food AMAZING!
I used to (think?) I had a pretty steady hand… we are on vacation and while I did bring my tripod, I haven’t been using it a lot – I think I rely on it now and my ‘steady hand’ went away! :)
Happy Belated Birthday!!
Happy belated!! Mine is also the 16th and just saying….best birthday day EVER!! I turned 25 this year, so I was a little scared about my birthday actually approaching, but now, it’s only a number :D Hope you had a fantastic bday (minus the rain :() and fun with family & friends!!
