No Recipe but Some Begging and a Cat Photo
Fatfree Vegan Kitchen is nominated again for a Veggie Award from VegNews magazine. Last year I admit that I felt a little guilty to be nominated two years in a row, but this year...you know what...I want to win! But the competition this year is fierce, with lots of excellent blogs nominated, so if you love this blog above all others, please complete the survey and vote for FFVK. If I win, I promise to try to stop doing annoying things like talking smack about my family, falling in love with appliances, worshipping eggplant, writing bad poetry, and, above all, posting self-promoting announcements like this.* Seriously! All that will be left are recipes, nutritional info, and maybe a cat photo or two:
So vote! (And thank you!)
In other news, I've recently set up a Facebook Page where I've been posting sneak previews of recipes and vegan and food-related news. If you're on Facebook, please consider becoming a fan and joining the conversation on our wall. (Unfortunately, there are no cat photos. So far.)
*Just kidding! I couldn't write any other way if I tried!

Survey done!
But I have one question: how did you get my cat all the way to your house to take her picture without me noticing? You are sneaky!
Well, if you stop doing all of those things, there's no way I'll vote for you!
Love this blog, Susan, exactly as it is. Thanks for so many mouth-watering recipes!
Pulltaffy, I lured your cat here with the aroma of baking eggplant. She loves it! ;-)
Anonymous, I'd have a hard time not doing any of those things, so don't expect any real changes. (Shhh! Don't tell the people who hate eggplant and poetry!)
As a recently converted to the "vegan until six" thing (and a likely vegetarian in the middle run), I've found tons of great info on your blog... but please don't do away with everything else! I love that too! I will vote for you if you promise to keep the rest up... Thanks again for your blog.
Susan, I'd vote for you in a flash, but here in New Zealand we don't have enough of those products for me to be able to vote in 50% of the categories... so I can't vote! Good luck!
Please don't promise to leave out the rheteric! That's one of my favorite parts of any blog!
I'm glad you were nominated again!
AWWWWWWWWW! KITTY KITTY!
Sooz, I filled out the survey and voted for you wherever I could. It's North America based, so I had to walk up and down from kitchen to computer to honestly say what I liked best (read the labels). I hope you win.
Still inventing,
Elessar in Ely.
please do not stop with the eggplant worshiping!
Phew! You had me worried there - I'm glad that you aren't really going to stop writing all the other stuff! ;-)
Goodluck with the award!
Susan,
I voted for you BECAUSE
1. I love Dublin coddle with vegan irish sausage,
2. I make your creamy chickpea salas which my hasband calls a notuna salad sandwich weekly,
3. the E's samosa wraps is amazing
4. I made the veggeroni too many times,
5. you got me to start making my own soymilk weekly,
6. your chocolate-orange cake IS THE BEST FAT FREE CAKE EVER,
7. I even make during the summer the impossible vegan pumpkin pie
8. the palak tofu is so yammy
9. the cherry-chocolate mousse pie which I only make the feeling and put it on nice glasses is so sweet and tasty
10. your barbecued seita ribz are to die for
11. the real Louissiana red beans and rice makes me want to go to New Orleans
12. I love reading your stories
I can keep going for a while more but my point is this:
YOU DESERVE TO WIN
and I really hope you will.
Best wishes. Maria
Done--but I want more cat photos!
I'm off to vote for you right now, because your blog is fun and inspirational. I love your writing, please don't change!
You can write about all those things... I don't mind at all!
I voted for you, because I love, love, love this blog! Really hope you win!
oooooh that's the sweetest thing ever.
Hi Susan, I'd like to vote for you- is there a way non-US residents can vote without taking the survey?
I voted for you!!!

I looove the kitty cat photo :)
This non cat lover says, "That is the cutest cat photo ever!" Off to the webpage. . . . :)
good luck!!! the blog is great! <3
and that is the cutest cat picture- it's so perfect it doesn't even look real!
You're note shameless at all! You do have the best veggie blog! And, I just voted for you!! GOOOO FFV!
Susan, I can't imagine liking any food blog more than yours. There are really a lot of wonderful vegan blogs out there, but yours make me want to come to your house for dinner, or dessert, or whatever you are showcasing.
Cute kitty!
You got my vote! I agree with the others. Love the cat pics and want to see more.
Thank you so much for all the amazing recipes. I have a bookcase full of terrific cookbooks and belong to a couple of wonderful recipe lists, but this is always the first place I look when I want to try something new. It was a pleasure to vote for you--I love this blog!
I`ve been following your blog for a little while now, but never found the time to comment-even after trying, and loving some of your recipes.
But I have decided to take a moment to tell you, that I happily voted for you, and I hope you win!

[ your cat is just the cutest thing ever ]
Whew! I was glad to read the small print note at the end of the post. I really don't want you to change the way you write, that's one of the reasons I keep coming back, that and your awesome recipes!
Please keep being yourself, I really like your blog! One more vote for fat free vegan blog!!
Ana
Hi Susan,
Well, of COURSE I voted for you. . .you've been feeding me consistently for almost a year and a half now, and, with help from Karina's wisdom at her blog, many of your recipes now also translate to being gluten free. It's a win-win situation!! And here's to cats, eggplant, and poetry in the mix as well!!
xoxo

Congratulations on the nomination! Super adorable cat photo.
Hi Susan,
I check your blog pretty much daily even though I get your email updates. I just love your blog! Congrats on the nomination! I already made sure to vote for you!
Aloha,
Morgan
Done and Done! you got my vote!
voted for you!
you definitely deserve to win..hope you do!! :)
congrats on the nomination!
Congratulations on being nominated! I voted for you, the best vegan blog out there. Just don't stop talking about your family, products and everything else. Love it just the way it is!
you have my vote. I have tried a number of your recipes and liked them. Trying a version of your enchilada casserole right now.
hey susan, I would love to vote, I love your blog... but i dont have any idea of the products they are talking about... we dont have them in Spain (where I live). If you tell me which products to choose, i could do it... bye! Natalia
I apologize for the late post... I did vote for you. I truly believe you deserve to win. I have tried many of your recipes and, most especially, any featuring eggplant. It is nice to see someone else who is as crazy as I am about eggplant. I just cannot seem to get enough. No one in my house likes it but it does not stop me from making it! Your cat looks like a younger version of my Bagheera whom we rescued from the streets when he was around 6 months old.
Voted for you weeks ago, but I just saw this post and had to comment on how adorable and cozy your kitty looks! I let my girls hang out wherever they want (yes, I'm one of *those* types) and I've also gotten some cute shots of them on the fridge, in the sink, in the dishwasher and so on!
I voted for you on the first day of voting!
Thank you all for your votes! Your comments here mean more to me than you'll ever know.
Jenn, I've tried to persuade my cats to keep the counters off limits, but they just don't listen to me, particularly this one, the kitten. I guess they just don't take you seriously when your first impulse is to run get the camera!
