All the food was incredible. Vegans really know how to cook, no?
This was my plate. My first plate, that is. I wish I could tell you what everything on here was, but I just remember how good it was. The thing in the middle, though--that's what I made.
It was a pretty simple recipe from Quick-Fix Vegetarian, the Black Bean and Rice Salad with Red Peppers and Corn. The name says it all--that's exactly what was in it, along with a chili-lime vinaigrette. It was pretty tasty...
This was my second plate. There were too many desserts there to try just one. So I tried this strawberry cream cheese pie made by Leigh of Raspberry Swirl, and this super-colorful pink lemonade cupcake, which also happened to be very photogenic (and the lemony frosting was to die for)!
I also got to meet Lori of Pleasantly Plump Vegan (who made a crazy good mac and cheeze) and Becky of Apron Strings (who brought some tasty tempeh nuggets with a tahini-miso dipping sauce). The other bloggers there were easy to spot--they were the ones with cameras sitting beside their plates! Hee hee. I got to meet some other really neat people, too. It's so nice to be around like-minded people when you can. Makes life a little nicer.
So... there was so much good food there that I ended up bringing a plate home.
Who wanted to miss out on the root beer cupcakes? The Chick-O-Stick cupcakes? The lovely pineapple upside-down cake from local vegan baker, Dulce Vegan? Or chocolate-chocolate chip cookies sandwiched with peanut butter filling? Wow--talk about sugar overload.
So... there you go. Many, many thanks to Ashley for being the brains behind this operation. I'm definitely looking forward to next time!

I've seen those pink/yellow cupcakes show up on a few blogs today. That food looks so delicious it almost makes me want to move to Atlanta!
Oh my god Laura,

Thank you so much for coming out yesterday (this is Ashley)! It was so great meeting you; I wish we could've chatted more but there will definitely be a next time!!!
This post has way too many gorgeous food shots. My belly is begging for a taste of everything! I love vegan potlucks- yours looks amazing!
*can't get pink lemonade out of my head now*
I posted on PPV's site that I wish y'all could do-over the potluck here in Texas! It looks like such an amazing event, with super-good food!
And what's about that shy amount of broccoli in the last photo? It made me laugh, the poor broccoli, surrounded by sweety sweets!
WOW look at all the vegan goodies!! I'm totally awestruck by the sweets, in particular ;0)
This is reason enough to move to Atlanta - YUM! Your black bean and rice salad looks amazing as well. Vegan meetups are the best!
I saw Lori's post about this potluck - what fun! I'm glad you had some veggies (your great looking salad!) to go with all the super treats.
ooo, yr salad was great! it was awesome to meet you. hope we can cross paths again soon.
Yep, vegan potlucks are the BEST! Wow, tons of desserts! Sounds like heaven... Texas vegans are getting together this weekend, we'll see if we can compete with yall from atlanta! :-)
I've been out of the loop with the meet-ups. Looks like a great spread! I can't remember, is there a listserv, or how can I know about the next one?
WOW! What a great spread! And you got to meet other bloggers, how fun is THAT!?! Next time, everyone ought to just head to Seattle, OK?
You are so right--vegans really do know how to cook. I am jealously salivating.
So nice that you got to meet so many cool bloggers.
Wow! Look at that spread... what a great way to spend the afternoon.
Pink lemonade and root beer cupcakes? Jeeze. Never has a potluck been so awesome.
