REVIEW

If you thought the vegan food life was bland and boring, think again. I discovered Vegan Delectable Volume V 100 Irresistible Breads, Breakfast & Brunch Goodness for All! which opened the door to vegan/vegetarian cooking that is delicious! Sheron Mingo Y tapes into her Caribbean heritage and American cuisines to bring us luscious recipes for breakfast, brunch, and between. 

All ingredients used in each recipe are organically fortified and non-dairy. Included are tons of recipes from pancakes (Mango Rasin pancakes, anyone?) to rolls (Curried Potato Rolls) and muffins (Apricot Walnut Muffins). A whole chapter is dedicated to breads from sweets like the Artistic Pumpkin Whole Wheat Bread. To savory Kale Onion Bread.
The most interesting recipe I found was in her Balmy Porridges chapter. Not exclusive to the Three Bears anymore. I’ve never had porridge before, but I tried her Balmy Plantain Blueberry Cranberry Porridge which was delightful!
Also included are fruit jam recipes and her perfect Vegan Brunch recipes such as Lipsmacking Kale Green Pea Cups, which features Cassavas, a nutty-flavored, starchy root vegetable or tuber native to South America. Better yet, go for her yummy Carrot Cranberry Rice Balls or Savory Cheesy Tomato Cauliflower Shells. Get exotic again with Mashed Potatoes with Walnut Bora Stew which is Caribbean-themed—ending it all with some Fruit Oat Bar Recipes that are amazing! This has to be the most fun vegan cookbook ever!
Five stars all the way!

REVIEW

Getting into the holiday spirit, we are reviewing The Littlest Dinosaur’s First Christmas (The Littlest Dinosaur Series). While geared toward young readers, I read this story to my 9-year-old book-loving twin boys, who enjoyed it, thinking, as they put it, “Pretty good.”

In The Littlest Dinosaur’s First Christmas, we meet our favorite veggie-loving t-rex, his brother Ty, and Mama Tyrannosaur. It’s Christmas eve, and Ty and the Littlest dinosaur cannot wait to open presents. Only upon Christmas day do The Littlest Dinosaur and Ty find out the gifts are not for them. Who are they for, then? Mama Tyranasauous will show them as Ty, and The Littlest Dinosaur will learn the real spirit of Christmas.

Illustrated by Tessa Verplancke, The Littlest Dinosaur is the cutest little dinosaur you’ve ever seen. Kids will fall in love with him, and a plushie should definitely be in the works, hint hint to authors.

As a parent, I enjoyed reading the story. I liked how the text bubbles matched the color of the dino who was talking ( Mama dinosaur is blue, Ty is darker green, while our littlest dino is a lighter green.), so you knew who was talking. The sweet message of the overall tale is one that every parent should delight in and love to read to their kids repeatedly.

I rate The Littlest Dinosaur’s First Christmas 5 out of 5 stars. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
