Good morning! I’m so excited that we are on our second week of Healthy Vegan Fridays. There ended up being a total of 63 entries including mine, Gabby’s and Shelby’s. So cool, right?
Without further ado, I want to announce the top three submissions for last week, in descending order. In 3rd place was the entry from Ali called Chocolate Kale Granola. Ali writes at the blog Farmers Market Vegan and I can’t wait to read more from this creative gal. Can you imagine…granola made with kale served in a kale leaf? Oh yeah, and did I mention chocolate? Brilliant!
The 2nd place entry was from Michele for her Roasted Sweet Potato + Black Bean Salad. I’ve made a salad similar to this one before, but it didn’t look this delicious:
Michele blogs over at Blissful Bites. Nice job, Michele!
And, finally…our top clicked-upon entry for the very first Healthy Vegan Fridays was … (drum roll, please) … Lou for her Breakfast Brownies and Jam entry!
Gosh, I’m salivating just looking at this picture. Lou is Australian (which automatically makes her cool and hip) and she has a great blog called Fridge Scrapings that I also just discovered this week. Plus, Lou has a really cute kid. Congrats, Lou!!! I really want to try making this jam using berries and chia seeds. So simple and lovely.
As a side note, my fellow hostess Gabby from The Veggie Nook also had a top-clicked upon recipe for her two versions of oatmeal cookies, so she definitely gets an honorable mention here. Gabby is so humble that she didn’t want to be featured, but I am so proud of her and couldn’t resist giving her a little love.
Oatmeal cookies made with dates and tahini from Gabby? So intriguing!
With that, the 2nd round of Healthy Vegan Fridays is officially OPEN. I have created a new tab on my home page with all of the information about how to enter, just click here. You have until Tuesday, August 7th to submit your entry so good luck! I can’t wait to see what all of you healthy, creative bloggers come up with this time.
Please remember that we’re trying to focus on whole food ingredients as the overall theme with the minimal use of processed or refined ingredients. I love that this blog party showcases that we can be healthy and vegan and, at the same time, create mouth-watering dishes. Yay for us!
I’ll be back tomorrow with my entry, did someone say Bob’s Big Boy Roquefort Dressing…veganized?
P.S. I almost forgot to mention, Healthy Vegan Fridays now has a Facebook page. Be sure to like us here to stay updated on new posts and updates!

Hey Carrie! Looks like my link got up wrong and the image is not displaying correctly – is there any way you fine ladies can delete it and I will start from scratch? Sorry about that! I hope you can take it down, or that smiley face will continue to shine amongst those beautiful food photos
Thanks!
Hi Shira, I deleted your entry so you can start over.
Thank you Carrie! Appreciate that
Hey Carrie, I think something might be up with the way the HVF entries are displayed cause the 5th entry on each line (i.e. #5, 10, 15, etc.) is cut off. I can only see about 1/4 of the picture and can’t see the name at all. If you want to see a screen shot I can email you one.
Thanks for the heads up, Laura! I know what the problem is, but I don’t know how to fix it. I will see what I can do. Thanks again and have a great weekend!
I fixed it!!! (I didn’t actually do the fixing, but let’s just say it’s fixed). Thanks again for letting me know.
Hello Carrie,
what a fantastic idea! That really creates a whole community!
I’ve just found your blog today. I’ve already “met” you on Instagram, and then found you on Facebook, and now here!
I’m from Denmark, and my husband and I are on our 5th day of Dr. Fuhrman’s Six-Week-Plan from Eat to Live, after I found his website and read his book, a month before that I turned raw, before that I was on Fit for Life …. My eating habits have keeping changed this year, and I’m so happy about it!
I’m looking forward to following you and perhaps participate later on, even though my blog is in Danish (that can be changed!)
Hi Oly, thanks so much for the comment. I think you are my first Danish reader so thank you! I wish I could read Danish so I could read your blog. Keep up the good work!
So glad your Healthy Vegan Fridays has been a success!! And thanks for featuring my sweet potato salad! The recipes look great this week and I’ll definitely be linking up again
So glad to have you contributing recipes, Micha!
