Our weather report is calling for record amounts of rain all weekend long, but I refuse to complain about the rain when it promises to melt away all the snow! Hopefully by Sunday our snow will be gone (for good).
Things you should know:
- There are just 8 days until we Spring the clocks forward (which means it will be light out until after 7pm!)
- Only 15 days until Spring
This news comforts me. 
We’re looking forward to some fun and relaxation this weekend after spending the past two weekends doing renos. We finally finished installing the baseboard and painting them on Thursday night. To finish off the room we need to purchase a chandelier, outlet plates, and move the furniture back in. We have plans to refinish the current table that we have (it is a hand me down and needs a bit of work) and then we will need to purchase some chairs for it at some point. We probably won’t be doing that for a while though because we are a bit ‘reno’ed’ out. It will have to do for now!
We might also buy some curtains, but I may need your advice on that because we really have no idea what will look good in the room. I’m really clueless when it comes to picking out curtains! ‘After’ pictures should be coming up hopefully by the end of the weekend!

whoever things vegan is boring is just not adventurous.
I’m so sorry you still have snow! And soooo happy to hear the clocks change in 8 days, I had no idea it was so soon!
I know I didn’t realize that either…it is SO nice though! I have already noticed the longer days lately and that will make it even better. :)
Mm, loving the look of those tarts and cookies! Okay, and the wild mushroom soup sounds amazing too but I am a total sucker for desserts! :D
Looking forward to the reno ‘after’ shots too; good luck with your final purchasing decisions (but that sounds like the best part, decisions rather than a whole bunch of backbreaking work! ;))
Ahh I have seriously bookmarked 20+ recipes since this series has started, I have some serious cooking to do! I do love having so many wonderful vegan recipes in one place thanks for hosting this :)
I’m really loving these posts!!!! So many new recipes that I want to try!
I literally have each installment of this series bookmarked because every day looks more delicious than the last. Can’t wait to get cooking!
I was just wondering when daylight savings time starts; thanks! I really appreciate that you put all these great recipes in one place. Now I just have to decide which ones to cook first …
Holy goodness! All these recipes look so beautiful and delicious. What a sweet thing you’re doing here with this link love! <3 Thank you.
Oh wow! So many delicious looking recipes. Those banana drops sound incredible!
So many more delicious looking recipes to try, can’t wait!
I can’t wait for spring either! these all look delicious, thank you!
Thanks for including my mushroom soup!
I am absolutely loving this “round up.” I have a feeling I’m going to be making some dessert tonight! ANd that microwave blueberry oat cake tomorrow morning… or for dinner… :)
Yeah, that oat cake looks amazing.
As does all it though. And the clocks go back next weekend??! Wow. It’s actually pretty light out now until 6:30 I find…
Raining here too :(
The oat cake is delicious and so easy to make! I made it last weekend before my long run.
LMK how it turns out for you :)
Since my 3-year-old always wakes up at the crack of dawn, I’m looking forward to springing forward in hopes that he’ll wake up later. It doesn’t always go as I plan, though.
Thank you for posting my Pumpkin, Bean, Quinoa soup! :-)
Ah! A VEGAN Oreo cake? Swoon! Everyone knows that anything Oreo-related is a sure-thing for me. That cake looks so moist/dense too–I’m not a cake fan, but THAT one got me to click over!
I love these posts, there are so many recipes I’ve bookmarked from them!
Yay! I am so happy spring is getting closer! We have more snow than you in Alberta though and no forecast for rain. Oh well, longer days means it will warm up and start to melt.
Those recipes look fantastic!! I must try those vegan buttermilk biscuits.
Angela, thank you so much for featuring my Cherry Tarts recipe!! It is an honor for me to take part in your Recipe Link Love project (such a fantastic idea). I absolutely love your website, and find your posts so inspiring. You’ve made my day, girl!
All of these recipes look absolutely amazing! What a perfect weekend to spend in the kitchen (raining here in Niagara too!).
Thanks for your submissions! You have awesome stuff (I was stalking your blog!)
likewise and thank you! Have a great day :)
I dieeee. I have been CRAVING mac and cheese like it is my J-O-B lately, and pudding, and anything with peanut butter and/or coconut:) Thanks girl!
Those buttermilk biscuits look amazing!
All those recipes look incredible! I have made the banana oat cakes (Averie’s recipe) and they are FANTASTIC!
That notella looks awesome!
That roasted garlic apple butternut squash soup sounds so delicious! Hope the weather gets better for you soon.
Wow-these recipes look soooo good! I love that you’re doing this so we can check out other people’s blogs and recipes. (And thanks for including my linguine recipe too!).
I can’t wait to see the “After” pics of your lovely room.
By the way, I don’t know how you survive the winter. I moved to California 10 years ago and have never looked back-we are super spoiled here with too much sunshine! I guess it makes you appreciate the nice weather more than I do!

I love the recipe from Love Veggies & Yoga! I had never seen that blog before and I love that (at least from what I can tell) her stuff is gluten-free!
Thank you so much :) And yes most (95%+ of what I post is GF)
Blech, so far I’m not loving the rain today! It makes me not even want to leave the house. :P
I love this idea :) It’s great seeing all these talented bloggers and their yummy food!
Ahhh soo jealous that you have RAIN and not SNOW! It snowed again in Saskatoon yesterday!
I am so totally loving all the link love!! I’m drooooling over that chickpea tomato wrap!
Sending warmer weather wishes your way :)
i love the recipe link loves! thanks for sharing, i love the diverse vegan recipes everyone comes up with! It makes the idea of becoming vegan a lot easier on the mind!
Thank you, Angela, for including two of my recipes here. You made my day! I’ve really enjoyed discovering new blogs through your link love posts.
OH yum! Those cherry vanilla tarts caught my eye, they look amazing, cherry + vanilla is one of my favorite combos!
Hi Amanda, thanks for the comment about my cherry vanilla tarts! They are so fun to make, and super delicious :)
Holy cow! Errr Holy Veg! They all look so good, especially the desserts. They’re callin’ myy nammmmeee
I really enjoy your Recipe Love Link! So much talent. :)
Have a great Sat. :)
Yay for link love! Besides the fact of getting new great recipes, we discover new great blogs! I can’t wait to try to microwave banana oat cake, since my apartment here in New Zealand only has a microwave–no oven! gasp!
Thank you, Angela, for featuring my recipe! I am delighted and thrilled to be included on your linky love list with so many other awesome bloggers and cooks!
I hope you have a wonderful weekend and yes, the days ARE getting longer! I was just noticing that this week, and whenever I notice that, I always know that the “bonus” of changing the clocks comes soon. I love the spring for this reason! Hate the fall b/c I feel like it’s a double whammy…not only are the days getting shorter but then changing the clocks makes it feel doubly bad. Gotta love SPRING!
:)
Thank you so much for including my recipe, Angela! It means alot :)
15 days until spring is such a wonderful bit of news. It can’t come soon enough!
Mmmmm the curried sweet potato looks awfully good! Another great list of recipes — my “to make” list is growing!
wow, these all look amazing!! I want the oat cakes and chickpea tomato wraps….and stat :)
Thank you Angela for including my recipe! I’m loving this series. Drool….
be well,
carolyn
Oh wow, the cookies and creme cake looks amazing!! I can’t wait to see the photos of your reno project – but I agree, you should take a rest, I’d be all reno-ed out too! :)
This is kind of unrelated, but I made the no bake chocolate macaroons today (http://ohsheglows.com/2011/02/03/no-bake-chocolate-macaroons/), and they were great! I subbed in confectioners sugar and oat milk, and I made them about 1 inch in diameter and rolled them in the PB fudge from this recipe (http://ohsheglows.com/2011/01/28/no-bake-peanut-butter-chocolate-crispies-with-pb-fudge/) and then in more coconut. So good!
These post couldn’t be any more timely! I’m going vegan for lent, and I’ll definitely refer to these ideas. Thank you. :)
I am enjoying these posts. Thank you for doing this. :)
