Oh, by the way, guys, I forgot to tell you, and I don’t know how it escaped me, but I’ve started a Vegan/Vegetarian Pinterest Group Board.
Follow Angie | Fiesta Friday’s board Vegetarian/Vegan Recipes on Pinterest.
Tracy @ What’s for dinner, Doc? suggested it and I thought… why not? Since there are many vegans/vegetarians in our group. And for me personally, I know it’ll come in handy since I’m always looking for ideas for all the vegetables I grow in my garden.
So, please join and/or follow! It’s an open group board, which means you can invite anybody you like to join. Just please treat it like it’s your own and keep it looking clean and spiffy. Love that word, spiffy 🙂
And now it’s time to party, with Laurie @ ten.times.tea and Jhuls @ The Not So Creative Cook. Laurie is a new co-host for us. Yay, Laurie!! So happy you’re on board! Jhuls is a veteran at this, as you all know. Very happy to have you as well, Jhuls!
I, meanwhile, will be out of town this weekend. Just to have a mini break before the real summer break starts. You want to ease yourself into it, you know 🙂 That’s my thinking, anyway. I’ll be checking in and out regardless. Can’t really stay away from the fiesta and from you all!
Besides, I find myself most productive when I’m in a car being driven somewhere, haha… There’s no TV or the garden or a mess somewhere, all needing attention! In other words, no distraction!
Now, let’s block off all distractions and pay our full attention to these applause-worthy posts from last week:
Foodie bloggers meet-up on Fiesta Friday from Justine @ Eclectic odds n sods
“Stop the presses!! A Fiesta Friday meet-up happened! In London! And I wasn’t invited! Just kidding, guys! I can not be any happier to hear about it! That is just so AWESOME! Look at those happy faces! I think I recognize everybody except for Marita. And she is more than welcome to join our fiestas! So…what exactly did you guys talk about? What exactly did you eat, drink? What were you wearing? Oh, ok, I can see from the photos what you were wearing, but I want to hear more details! More!” — Angie
Sweet Danube Traybake from Ginger @ Ginger & Bread
“I love this cake! It looks so beautiful and would impress anyone! The cake, the custard frosting… everything just made me drool and now I just have to make it at home!” — Dini
“This cake is just too incredible not to try! I can’t wait to go sour cherry picking just so I can make this cake! Such a special cake, Ginger! Love the name, too!” — Angie
Pear Clafouti from Loretta @ Safari of the Mind
“Loretta did a beautiful job with the photographs which highlight how creamy and custardy this Clafouti is. If I were at her dinner party, I’d say just a sliver – and then go back for seconds! This is a recipe I can see myself serving over and over.” — Mollie
Breakfast Beet Sliders from Sue @ Birgerbird
“I am always looking for healthier alternative breakfasts that don’t leave me feeling deprived. Here’s a breakfast that would make me feel pampered – it has everything – healthy carbs, beets and all they bring nutritionally and that gorgeous egg for protein. It’s very creative and very now!” — Mollie
“I was mesmerized by this! Yes, mesmerized! That picture sent me packing to the kitchen for some fried eggs. Then, with eggs in tow, I read more carefully. Whaaaat? Beets for breakfast? With your eggs? Isn’t that like the best mash-up breakfast idea ever? Well, what do you know, Sue’s entering this into a Food52 mash-up contest. Y’all go there now, and vote for her, y’hear? She’s one of our own. We take care of each other! Plus, this IS the best mash-up recipe there is!” — Angie
Strawberry Blackpepper Frozen Margarita from Michelle @ Giraffes Can Bake
“Michelle always makes things that I can’t stop thinking about 🙂 This is no exception! I love the combination of Strawberry and Blackpepper and it would taste amazing in this cocktail! I know that this will be one of my favourites this summer :)” — Dini

Suchitra says
It was a great idea from Tracy to suggest a vegan/vegetarian Pinterest board. Awesome that you did it Angie. It’s nice to have our favorite vegetarian/vegan recipes in one place. Have a fun trip Angie! Happy weekend!
Angie says
Thanks, Su! Btw, I did send you an invite for the board when I started it. Check your Pinterest account and if you feel like joining, you can accept.
Jhuls says
I hope I could go on a mini vacation, too. No TV, away from all technologies – but phone is an exception. 😀 I love Tracey’s idea about the Pinterest board.
Anyway, enjoy with the mini vacay, Angie. And thanks for having us. 🙂
Angie says
For me it’s my iPad, I must have it! I’m sending you an invite to the board. Once you accept, you can invite your friends, too! Thanks for co-hosting, Jhuls!
Jhuls says
Thanks, Angie. And it’s always a pleasure to co-host. 🙂 xx
Loretta says
Thanks for the featuring my Pear Clafouti my lovelies, you’ve made my day! Thanks for your kind words Mollie. I’ll have to get my act together on this Pinterest Board, I have an account, but can’t seem to manage it. Great idea on the vegan/vegetarian board. Relax Angie and enjoy your trip wherever you may be driven to……Happy FF # 71 ladies and gents! 🙂
Angie says
You’re welcome, Loretta! Such a great idea using pears for the clafouti. What’s your Pinterest username? I’ll try sending you the invite, though I think we have to be following each other first.
Loretta says
Angie, my pinterest name is Loretta#00 – it’s been a while since I’ve used it. In fact I don’t even know how to post my blog on there ha ha! So send away, and I’ll give it a whirl.
Angie says
I couldn’t find you! There’s a Loretta Obuchowski using that username, but I didn’t think that’s you?? Why don’t you start following me so it would be easier for me to send you the invite. It’s easy to follow, just get on my Pinterest board and click the red “follow” button.

tentimestea says
Yay! I’m so excited to cohost! There’s already so many lovely entries 🙂
I think it’s about time I started easing into summer break as well…have a lovely vacation!
Angie says
Thanks for co-hosting, Laurie! I hope you’re having fun! I’m trying to relax a little before total relaxation starts, haha… I’m training myself! 😀
tentimestea says
Oh my, doesn’t a bit of training go into everything! I should adopt this philosophy for cake eating! 🙂 While it’s a bit of work, I’m also having plenty of fun as well!! Cohosting has made me realize how many other FF bloggers there are that I’ve somehow never visited, and I’ve also come across so many inspiring posts and recipes that I would have missed otherwise!
Lauzan says
I love Tracy’s idea!! Thanks Angie! Happy Fiesta Friday! 🙂
Angie says
I’m in a rush this morning but as soon as I’m able, I’ll send you an invite to join the board. If you’d like to, of course! 🙂
eclecticoddsnsods says
hah awe now i feel bad you weren’t there, but heck your not in the UK! Next time OK, you gotta be there. Marita hasn’t joined FF yet, but after the meet-up I am sure she will be here soon enough. The food was amazing as was the company, we had three courses with tasters inbetween and wasnt like most teas where you are inundated with cream and pastry, there were lovely savoury treats and very unusual sweet treats too! xx
Angie says
That place sounds amazing! I wish there were more places offering tea around here. Marita is welcomed to join anytime. Would love to have her! I have yet to make the green tea mojito for your tea time. Correction, I did make it, just didn’t take photos, lol. The table was too messy! I’ll have to make more! 😀
eclecticoddsnsods says
you drank it and didnt atke photos? gasps..how naughty is that! Might have to spank you with your wand!
Angie says
I’ve done worse, lol! My wand is stored safely, nobody can use it!! 😀
eclecticoddsnsods says
Oh I bet it stored safely away 😛 x
Michelle @ Giraffes Can Bake says
Oooh thank you for the feature! Now I wish I had one of those margaritas to celebrate!
I’m very, very late with my Fiesta Friday post this week – I haven’t even edited the photos for it yet! Oops! But I’m determined to get it posted by the end of the day so watch this space – in the mean time I did bring a little mini dessert I posted earlier in the week 😉
Have a great mini vacation Angie!
Angie says
Those margaritas are making everyone thirsty, Michelle! And if they have margaritas at breakfast, I would order one, lol. My husband would probably raise his eyebrows, but hey…when you’re thirsty, you’re thirsty. And when you’re thirsty, you only want margaritas 😀
Tracy @ Served from Scratch says
A Fiesta Friday Meet-up?!? How COOL! Any Portland, OR FF party go-ers want to meet-up in Portland!? Ahh I love this!!!
Angie says
You’re not too far from Sue @ Birgerbird, I think. You should get together w/ her! 🙂
Sarah 'n Spice says
I need that margarita ASAP 😉 Have a great pre-break break! Happy Fiesta Friday!!
Angie says
Looking at that margarita makes me thirsty! Can you order a margarita at breakfast? 😀
Sue says
too kind, too kind! thank you and i hope you enjoyed your mash up experience if you decided to make them. I absolutely love this shot of Justine and ladies . . . . we absolutely need to arrange a FF Retreat or a couple of them across the globe.
Angie says
You’re a master at mashing up recipes, Sue! I thought the pickled celery was also a great idea! I’ll give that a try definitely. FF Retreat sounds like a fun idea! 😀
Ginger says
Wow – how wonderful to find myself AND my cake on the post! That’s what I call a reason to celebrate! Thank you so much everyone, it’s such an honour – I’ll be bringing you a couple of glasses of prosecco this time, to celebrate 😉
Angie says
Yay! I love giving people reasons to celebrate! I’m suddenly feeling thirsty. That prosecco sounds great! 😀
simplyvegetarian777 says
Aweosme entries and good to see everybody back!! I have been absent from FF for a while now… Might join in this week with a traditonal summer drink from India.
Angie says
Is that a promise? Looking forward to that drink, Sonal! 🙂
simplyvegetarian777 says
Today for sure ❤️
Margherita says
I always feel behind but maybe this week I’m in perfect timing bringing a vegan cake to your party! Have a good vacation, even if is short, it is always a break from the routine!
Angie says
Vegan cake sounds great, Margy! Just the right thing to pin to that Vegan Group Board 🙂 Would you like to join the board?

Josette@thebrookcook says
Happy FF, Angie! I have posts waiting to bring to the party but photos on an impaired computer…. :/ SO aggravating!!! Hopefully I’ll be back in action soon. Need to get motivated on the Pinterest too- great idea on your new board!
Angie says
That is SO aggravating!! I hope you can get it fixed soon! We’ll wait patiently. I’ll be sending you an invite to join the board as soon as I find you and we start following each other. Pinterest rule, I’m afraid 🙂
