Many of the other VeganMoFo bloggers have posted answers to a MoFo survey and I thought that I would do the same. Fun!
What is one food you thought you'd miss when you went vegan, but don't?
Cheese. The funny thing is I have developed a strong sensitivity to the taste and can detect it easily. Where 13 years ago (when I became vegan) cheese tasted creamy and wonderful, it now tastes sickeningly milky and overly rich. When I get hungry for "cheese" now, it's solely for the faux variety.
What is a food or dish that you wouldn't touch as a child, but enjoy now?
Jam/jelly, mustard, salads.
What vegan food or dish do you feel like you should like but you don't?
Raw vegetables. I hate all vegetables in raw form but carrots, unless they are drenched in a yummy dressing or sauce.
What beverage do you consume the most of each day?
Water mostly, with some soy milk in the morning.
What dish are you famous for bringing to gatherings?
Cupcakes! Vegan Red Velvet from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World have impressed many a vegan and non-vegan alike. :)
Do you have any self-imposed food rules (like no food touching on the plate or no nuts in sweets)?
I have lots of 'food rules'- lol. No fruit with chocolate. No peanut butter in desserts. Raw foods must be smothered in sauce to be edible. A dish must smell good to taste good.
What's one food or dish that you eat too much off when it's in your home?
Anything sweet. If it's in the house, I will find it and consume it.
What ingredient or food do you prefer to make yourself despite it being widely available repackaged?
Salad dressing and pancake mix.
What ingredient or food is worth spending extra money on to get the good stuff?
Organic grapes and chocolate!
Are you much of a snacker? What are your favorite snacks?
I'm not much of a snacker, per se, as my normal eating schedule involves eating lots of small meals throughout the day. But when I do snack, I like cookies, chips and salsa or guacamole, steamed and salted edamame, carrot sticks or apples with peanut butter, crackers with Tofutti cream cheese, or toast with almond butter and raisins.
What are your favorite vegan pizza toppings?
Follow Your Heart Mozzarella, fresh garlic, olive oil, tomato slices (Roma are best), and roasted red pepper!
What's your favorite fruit and vegetable?
Pineapple and asparagus.
What is the best salad dressing?
My favorite is a balsamic vinaigrette I make by blending balsamic, olive oil, maple syrup, mustard, a bit of water, and sometimes crushed garlic.
What is your favorite thing to put on toasted bread?
Margarine and cinnamon & sugar.
What kind of soup do you turn to on a chilly day or when you don't feel well?
West African Groundnut Stew with ciabatta.
What is your favorite cupcake and icing flavor?
Hmmm... that's a toughie. Chocolate cake with chocolate icing or red velvet with old fashioned white icing.
What is your favorite type of cookie?
Chocolate Chip!
What is your most-loved weeknight meal?
Pancakes with vegan snausages or Field Roast Celebration Roast with roasted potatoes and carrots. But I have many favorite, go-to meals, and my top choices change frequently.
What is one food or dish you enjoy but can't get anyone else in your house to eat?
I can't really think of anything. My partner loves all sorts of foods.
How long on average do you spend in the kitchen each day?
About 1-2 hours.
There was my survey! I would love to read yours too.

I am glad you were inspired to do the survey too! I enjoyed reading your answers. I had no clue you hated raw veggies. LOL!
I'm a big fan of "Follow Your Heart" mozz. Thanx for sharing. This is fun learning about MoFoers.
