Since F-stop, work and sanity-saving running have been my focus over the past few weeks, I haven't had much of an appetite until recently, nor have I done much cooking. My gradual reentry into the Blogosphere will consist mainly of giveaways, reviews and a few straggler recipes as time permits. Thanks for your patience.
Today, I am thrilled to be giving away a free copy of Vegan Finger Foods: More Than 100 Crowd-Pleasing Recipes for Bite-Size Eats Everyone Will Love
co-authored by my lovely amigas Tami Noyes and Celine Steen. Although finger foods have long been the norm in the Middle East [think mezze], China [think dim sum] and in Spain [think tapas], they are super popular in the US right now and have become a fun and profitable restaurant theme. America may finally be falling out of love with supersize portions, thank goodness.When you think about it, the first bite you take of any given dish is the most pleasurable. That's why I adore finger foods. You get to experience the intensity of flavor without the resulting fullness. This plant-based book is designed mainly for parties, but since I love "mini" foods, I see myself making many of these vegan snacks all for myself. Here are a few recipes that caught my eye and that I've bookmarked to make once I have more time and appetite:
- Corn Fritters with Tomato-Thyme Gravy
- Kale-Cucumber Cups
- Mini Lemon Cupcakes
- Black Forest Jars

Glad to hear that F-stop is finally home. I wish him a speedy recovery!
As for my favorite finger food, hm, maybe cucumber sandwiches.
I don't have a fave finger food but I have to say the corn fritters with tomato-thyme gravy sounds divine.

not at all US resident......just saying " hello....that's yummy!"
Anything with hummus!
I'm glad that F-Stop is home again! I am sending lots of good vibes your way. I know how stressful it is to be nursing a sick kitty. Our cat, Spike, has been sick for over 3 weeks now, and it's very hard to see someone you love hurting and not himself.
As for my favorite finger food, I'll have to go with nachos with plenty of guacamole.
Chips with fresh salsa. =)
Oh I get these great chips at Costco that are whole grain with flax. I will put most anything on them. But peanut butter works by adding a protein source. Cheap and fast and always on hand.
So glad F-stop is out of the hospital! Hope he continues to heal well.
My favorite finger food might be various veggie chips, or maybe vegan empanadas. Or little street tacos, or maybe buffalo cauliflower "wings". There are just so many wonderful options to choose from!
Favorite would have to be tempeh buffalo wings or stuffed mushrooms!
So glad things are looking better for F-stop.
My favorite has to be tempeh wings.

I am a snacker and a grazer! I prefer smaller portions of many different foods, rather than larger portions of only a few dishes. I love dips and lettuce wraps and soft warm pretzels and ...!
We love to snack on a light dessert at the end of the day, but need some ideas to make it healthy. I happen to love wine and chocolate, but lower calorie options would be ideal.
Teeny tiny desserts with lots of whipped coconut milk....
My favorite finger food is salty tortilla chips with salsa or guacamole.
Garlic knots are a favorite at our house!
I like pita chips and hummus
Anything, I like the cheesy won ton wrappers and roasted red pepper cheese on flax crackers.

Bruschetta bites if we are talking fancy, otherwise I'm happy with pickles! Sending good vibes to F-stop.
