Although my sister and I are both grown up, my mom still loves to make us Easter baskets like she did when we were little girls. And hey, I’m not going to complain about that!
.
This year’s Easter basket contained nail polish, 2 stuffed animals, veggie soup mix (my mom is a funny lady), bunny socks, a chick pin, 2 lollipops, money, and duck soap-on-a-rope (my sister got bunny soap-on-a-rope. I told you my mom’s a funny lady!)

Above– showing off my Easter basket…
But then Henry started whining that a boring old basket was getting all the attention. So I, of course, had to pick up my spoiled doggie and take a picture with him.
.
Are you happy now, Henry?

Hi again!
Just wanted to pass on this information …
Boston Magazine recently published an article all about us this month – here is the link:
Oh Soy Tasty!
If you have a few minutes to spare, could do us a huge favor and read the article and comment at the bottom of the page? We’re very excited about getting such great press, especially from a magazine of this caliber. If everyone drops by and leaves a quick comment, soon there will be no doubt in any publisher’s mind: YES, readers absolutely do want to know about vegan happenings and developments. Please don’t hesitate to repost the article on your blog and spread the world!
Thanks!

You go pink girl! haha, you look really sweet. And the basket? can I show it to my mum and convince her to give me one even if we don’t celebrate Easter at all?
Aww, that’s so sweet of your mother to make you Easter baskets! and I think that pink dress is adorable ^^
Cute pictures! And I love the vegan Easter basket – great idea!
How sweet of your mom to still make you Easter baskets! Those picture of you with the basket and Henry are so cute.
Vegan Easter basket, yum! I didn’t get a basket, but I did get some nice vegan cookies. Hee hee!
You and your basket look cute as a button!
hah– my mom (who is isn’t vegan) loves finding vegan things for holiday goodies, i.e. easter baskets, christmas stockings, etc. i love moms.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who still gets an Easter basket! And you look so pretty in your pink Easter dress!
Sarah,
Yes, I am naturally this way. I don’t count calories or worry about what I eat (except to make sure it’s vegan LOL). But seriously, I have friends who are much bigger than me and have just as good of a life!
Be happy with who you are (ugh, I sound like one of those annoying motivational speakers!!!).
That is so cute! My mom just gave me boring old concert tickets…
You’re dress in awesome! You look pretty in pink! I look ill in pink…
Ahhh, cute basket and of course cute Easter outfit! I love the dress/white tights/shoe combo
I used to get Easter baskets too – I’ll have to ask my mom what happened to that little tradition, because now I want one too!
All of those pictures made me squeee in awe of your cuteness!
what a sweet mama you have!! I love mine too
)
and what a cute pink dress and puppy!
Duckie soap! I want duckie soap.
I’d hate to use it, though.
EEP! I <3 your outfit, there.
Ducky soap on a rope. That is priceless!
My parents got my husband and I some gifts for Easter, but due to some family illness I have not been able to visit and claim it! They won’t tell me what it is, but it is being kept in the freezer to keep fresh… hmmm.
Speaking of gifts, there is something I have for you! But you have to wait a little bit. Heheheh.
your dog is too cute! so cuddly! i hope you enjoyed all the lovely treats in your easter basket! is your dress handmade?
Sooooo cute! I <3 the duck soap!
Your mom is awesome; that soap on a rope is just too cute!
I thought it was porkchop until heanry turned around.
I miss easter baskets
lucky you!
I love your pink dress
Are you in for the pay-it-back thing I announced on my blog, then?
Okay, I’m back.
For you!

My illustrator husband is doing caricatures for Hershey Park this summer and used you for practice at my request. He says your fun to draw! I hope you like it.
Hrm. It looks like it cut off my link, so here it is again, in nice click-me form!
you are entirely too cute ms. CCV! esp in your pink shoes! love it!
p.s awesome basket!
Nice Easter basket.
I imagine that’d be hard to sum up your life in six words. Jeez, I wouldn’t know how to do that. Sounds fun, though.
I’m glad you had a good Easter.
you are waaaaaay too gorgeous
*steals you*
mwahahaha!
amazing post as usual. Your family sounds like so much fun!
Uiii, I got an easter basket, too. I love feeling like a kid

UliMana Dark Cacao Truffles… yum!
Wow! Your mom IS a funny lady!

i would be overjoyed to have Gnosis Raw Vegan Truffles in my easter basket! =)
Truffles for sure….yum!! Happy Easter!
I would love to try the raw vegan truffles! They look so yummy
I want the dark cacao truffles -YUMMY!! thanks for the giveaway
hey girl, since i’ve got my own truffle making business (bittersweetonline.net) i guess i’d say the cacao nibs would be great as i hand-roll my truffles and they’d be perfect for the coating of my bittersweet classics
Thanks for hosting the giveaway! I’d love the Navita’s cacao nibs!
Is this where we enter? I’m still going with the Maple Chocolate Bars! Something intriguing about that. Next in line would be Uli Manna should they really want to giveaway two
Dark cacao truffles!
Ummm I’d go for the truffles! YUM!
I would love to find some Navitas Naturals Raw Cacao Powder hiding in my basket. Yum!
tooootally the truffles!!
Hey Katie! I’ve been reading your blog for a few weeks now, but this is my first comment. All those treats look delicious, but since I can’t stop making your delicious fudge babies and variants, I think I could put the raw cacao nibs to a good use in a baby recipe!
I’d choose the Gnosis Raw Vegan Truffles, for sure!
I want the raw cacao in my Easter basket–ohh swoon!

oh my goodness can I say I want all of them!! I love those chocolate nibs but I guess for an Easter treat I would have to go with truffles
the dark chocolate truffles, forgot there was two
I won’t be getting an Easter basket (Jewish!) but if you were to send me one I would love to try the raw cocoa nibs… so many possibilities with those!
the dark cacao truffles would be an eggselent addition to my easter basket

i’ve never had a truffle before so definitely the Gnosis Raw Vegan Truffles!! RAW AND CHOCOLATE? UMM HELL YES!
-Lena
TRUFFLES! I of course would like EVERYTHING because I loooooove chocolate, but truffles are my number one. Plain vegan chocolate truffles seem very hard to come by – usually they have weird flavors which I’m sure a delicious but my true love is the classic chocolate truffle.
Happy Easter! Your mom is adorable! I never got baskets that awesome even as a kid!
Dark cacao truffles, duh!
Navitas would be delightful.
gnosis raw truffles!!
The UliMana Dark Cacao Truffles. I’m getting dizzy just thinking about it.
Definitely want the Love Street maple chocolate in my Easter basket! Looks delicious!
Ulimana dark chocolate truffles . . . even tho I’m Jewish and don’t get an Easter basket!
Single origin chocolate! I don’t celebrate Easter because I’m Jewish, so it would certainly be exciting to get an Easter basket
Plus I’ve never won a giveaway.
Happy Easter, Katie!
Oh wow, the raw truffles sound absolutely amazing!!
Love the pink and white theme!
ummm yum =
Love Street Living Foods Maple Chocolate

I would get the ulimana truffles!
I’d love to win those truffles! They look yummy!
I feel sort of silly doing this since this is my first comment on your blog even though I follow (love) it and everything…but I would want the Navitas Raw Cacao Powder. I bought a book on raw foods recently and have been doing a lot of research on it – this would be a great item to have in the kitchen!
I think I’d have to go with the truffles, though the nibs are a close, close second. YUM.
Definitely the UliMana Dark Cacao Truffles… I’m drooling just looking at the picture!
The Dark Cacaoa Truffles, because they’re so ridiculously expensive.
I’m going to have to say the UliMana Dark Cacao Truffles, nomnomnom, though, it all looks so yum.
Happy Easter!! I’d looove to try the maple chocolate, it sounds so amazing!
Ooh, it’s hard to decide but I’d have to say the Love Street Living Foods Maple Chocolate sounds irresistable! But then, I am Canadian:)
Just had to say that last night I made my favourite vegan brownie recipe and decided to replace the walnuts (because I was out) with raw cacao nibs. Suffice to say everyone who ate them was too wired to sleep, but they were incredibly good!
I’d love to find some Gnosis Truffles in my basket! They look so delectable, and I already have a raw cacao powder of my own. I might use them as garnishes for my brownie oatmeal, no wait, they look too good for that. I’d just eat ‘em straight up!
Oooh, you’re so nice for hosting yet another giveaway! I’d love to try the Maple Chocolate!
SO CUTE. I love easter.

So I really hope I win… some chocolatey Easter goodness would help the spirits right now!
Hmmm I’d love to find the UliMana truffles in my Easter basket!!!

My mom made great Easter baskets, too! The best thing that I ever got was a phone– it was clear plastic and had colorful wires inside. It had a cord and everything, as this was around 1992! It was my first phone of my own– I got to use it in my bedroom! Ahh, freedom!
This year, I would like to find a Lodge cast iron pizza pan in my basket… or in the mail, I’m not choosy!

Well, I don’t celebrate Easter, but I couldn’t resist entering the contest. I have a sneaky feeling that those Uli Mana truffles are suitable for Passover.
I would want the Askinosie!!! I am in love with their chocolate already, but it sure would be nice to get a package for free!
It’s hard to choose but the Askinosie Single Origin Chocolate somehow stands out to me.
the truffles!!! YUM
Aww you look so cute in your pink dress!! I’d most like to win the cacao powder. I think it would be the most versatile and I could use it for a bunch of things. When it comes to chocolate, the darker pure kind is the best!

I’d love to try the raw truffles : D
