This afternoon, I came home from a particularly strenuous Power Yoga class and was looking forward to simply relaxing on my couch for the next hour or so. But as I climbed the stairs to my apartment, I noticed someone waiting at my front door.
The surprise visitor was my boyfriend… and he wasn’t alone. Nestled in his arms lay a perfectly-formed chocolate mousse pie. It turns out that he had searched the internet to find a vegan recipe, and then my cooking-o-phobic boyfriend slaved away in the kitchen to make the pie for me!
Even before we started going out, I’d been trying to convince the boy that tofu is not evil, but he just would not taste it. On Valentine’s Day, however, he joined me in eating a big slice of the delicious pie, which– he proudly informed me– was made with tofu. And guess what… he loved it!
I think I’ll be keeping him for a while… he knows the way to my heart!

Yummy. Any boy that bring vegan chocolate treats deserves to be kept. At least for awhile.
I’m gasping here! What a sweet boy you have for yourself! Definitely keep him around, if he’s going to bake for you. And if he’s going to eat tofu for you. Danggg, he really likes you.
thats so sweet!!!
This one’s a keeper! Hold him dear, who knows what other yummy chocolatey delights lay in your future… mm!
how sweet is your boyfriend!!! that pie looks so yummy. i could eat that whole thing.
Aww, good boy!!
Awww, that’s so cool of your bf. What a nice surprise. Does he not usually eat your cooking? Maybe now he knows better!
Looks like you had a great v-day!
okay, that’s ADORABLE. Sounds like a perfect valentine’s day surprise!
Aw wow how sweet of him! And how great that he was willing to not only figure out how to make a vegan dessert, but then to eat it with you when it’s something he thought was evil.
How adorable is that? Aww!
Ha ha and you were so right about your comment one time that you can see Tofu in his near future *evil laugh*
What a sweetie. Definitely keep him!
Yes, any boy who’s willing to step out of his comfort zone and bake – with tofu! – is certainly a keeper! Happy belated V-day!
That was so sweet of him. Happy Valentine’s Day !
i love a man that gives gifts that include chocolate, pie, cake, custards, really any desserts.. i mean really… you cannot go wrong if you come with those gifts… unless the woman is crazy.. and then you know she’s NOT the one…. ha ha .. looks very yummy… he did a great job!
Wow! I want that pie.
Well here vegan chocolate doesn’t say “certified vegan to the source”, but we just read the ingredients. So alot of our chocolate may say “may contain traces of milk”, we just take the chance anyway. Not many companie actually bother to make vegan chocolate, like VEGAN exclusively.
Even if they did, these chocolates would be sold in health food stores, and at ridiculous prices. Which they are.
That was so sweet! The pie looks yummy too!
note to self: get boyfriend, make him make me chocolate mousse pie.
hee! I’m glad you had such a great v-day!
That is sweet indeed! Chocolate is a perfect way to celebrate anything, so valentine’s day certainly isn’t an exception
your boyfriend must be quite open-minded, considering he chose to make a pie using tofu! it’s great that it turned out so well, too! awwww.
What a sweet boyfriend you have, CCV! That’s exactly the kind of gift I love; one that comes straight from the heart and is thinking about you. How lucky you are to have each other! As for the Cashew Banana Ice Cream, it doesn’t require an ice cream maker, just a food processor!!! So, if you have a food processor, you can totally make this. Let me know if you don’t have a copy of ED&BV and I’ll share the recipe w/ you.
Aww – so cute, it must be love if he’s making you chocolate pie, especially one that looks so lush!
Now he sounds like a keeper! =)
That’s SO cute. Totally a keeper!
Aw, what an AWESOME surprise! Lucky gal!
And: “as long as Valentine’s Day is associated with chocolate, it will be a great holiday in my book.” Could not agree with you more!!!
You’re so lucky to have such a sweet boyfriend! I hope that when I get a bf, he’ll be like that too.
that is so sweet!!!
) i wish a had a boy like yours…he must be out there somewhere…
You got yourself a good man.
Now, can I please have a slice of that pie?
You’re not dumb, CCV! I added that “edit” in after your last comment, since I realized that others might have been confused, too.
So sweet!
Yeah…sigh. We usually ettle for Oreos not Newman Os cause of the price. They’re both vegan, but obviously Newman Os are “safer”.
YAY for sweet omni boyfriends! Mine was actively searching for a vegan restaurant for V-day, but the ones he checked didn’t take reservations, and the ones near us (Red Bamboo!!) were PACKED, so we went to an Italian place and all was well. That is AWESOME that he so sweetly Conquered The Tofu and made a fabulous pie for you! You’ll have him scarfing nutritional yeast cheezy sauce in no time
That is a great story, and it looks like a great pie! Props to him for trying!
Aww, how sweet! I agree – you should keep him.
Roses are red
and violets are blue
He put tofu in chocolate
Just for you
That’s the sweetest thing! You’ve definitely got a keeper. I agree- the marketing side of the holiday is a little sickening, but it’s still an awesome excuse for chocolate and candies!
Wow! My boyfriend needs to talk to your boyfriend! Paul is a total carnivore who doesn’t think twice about ordering a steak in front of me (although he’s promised me one day of vegan-ness for V-Day….he messed up on the actual day and ate chicken for lunch…but he swears he’ll try again…I’m waiting).
Anyway, congrats on having an awesome man! And a delicious pie (which I’m sure is gone by now).
