Spinach pie. Homemade, of course. I will post the recipe, but first I want to eat it!

It looks like Spanakopita without the feta.

For my OH's birthday yesterday.

It's his favourite too.

I cooked 2 x 35 cm chocolate cakes, brushed with reduced cherry syrup doctored with almond liqueur then stuck together with whipped cream dotted with bottled cherries
Chocolate ganache poured over the top then decorated with more cherries, plus whipped cream & maraschino cherries.

Stunning!

It is...and, there is feta. But, there's also a lot of my favorite part: spinach!

I tossed some ribs in the slow cooker

As far as I'm concerned, there's no better way to have ribs than out of a slow cooker. I do usually baste them and finish them off in the oven, but that's just a detail: the meat is falling off the bone from being in the slow cooker, and that's what really matters. Another great reminder from this web site...time to get some ribs and dust off the slow cooker!

They look amazing! How to they taste? And please do explain the vegan part: no egg or butter...?

They are not over sweet and they taste of cinnamon. No egg (which is usually used in 'enriched dough') - I just left it out to see what would happen and instead of butter I used a vegetable margarine with high fat content. I'll post up the recipe when I get time. They are very similar to a recipe you posted for
Cinnamon Rolls

They are based on an earlier recipe I posted (non vegan) Chocolate Cinnamon Buns

This was actually last night...or yesterday to most of you lol....
Bought a ready made roasted chicken last night at Sam's warehouse, then felt guilty with my...background.
So in an effort to right the ship a little, I made butter-and-wine sauteed Mushrooms flambe'....

I felt SO much better!

As y'all might say on your side of the pond.....
Those rolls are quite fetching!

My psychedelic skinny lunch (under 200 cals): Salad of devilled eggs, spinach, scorched wilted lettuce, tomatoes and yoghurt turmeric dressing.

Looks so light and tasty!

My dinner was a simple salad with feta, pieces of apple and sunflower seeds.

I don't think I've ever called anything 'quite fetching' but I mean to take on that lovely posh phrase as part of my vocabulary.
