Where'd the Queso Recipe Go?
Posted by Crystal B on 2009/03/14 @ 04:42 pm

Chris and I have been busy keeping Austin fed (one danish, cupcake and cookie at a time). Our bakery blew up so fast. And, we've got the battle scars to prove it. From the oven burns, sprained sore wrists from making danish pastry dough, cuts to smashed fingers. We leave our commercial kitchen looking more and more like injured soldiers. If you're in Austin, stop by Bouldin Creek and check out our stuff.

First things first-
A giveaway! Leave a comment on this post and next week I will pick a winner by drawing a number and choosing that comment!

The winner gets goodies from our vegan bakery! This includes cookies, cake, pastries and more.

About the Queso recipe--
We *temporarily* removed our queso recipe. There's a good reason, though. After a month, we will put it right back where it belongs. We regularly sell our queso (by the gallons) to Bouldin Creek. Also, we are in the process of getting it into a grocery store near YOU. For business reasons, our recipe had to be taken offline while we complete that process. Good news is, it's not too far off and the recipe will be back soon! Believe it or not, the queso you'll be able to buy (from us) online and at your local grocer is an even more delicious/amazing version of our original queso!!

We have a few major announcements this month and the beginning of next month. You know how much we love surprising announcements! Very much! So there's that. Also, I'll have more time to blog. Recipes are coming!

Good luck on the giveaway!
Start commenting!
Don't forget to include your email address.

Adios.

Wow, you really do seem to have been kept busy, with the thick skin to prove!

I adore that queso recipe; I'm glad I printed out a copy. That is so exciting about you distributing it!

Glad to hear that you will be posting the queso recipe soon. I have heard so many good things and when I went in search of it, it was MISSING :-( All of your vegan goodies look great!

woohoo! I wish you lots of success with your kickass business ventures.

Congrats on your queso success! Are you guys getting extra business this weekend due to South by South West?
Posted by Liz on 2009/03/15 @ 01:19 am
How amaaaazing do those sweets look; too bad I don't live anywhere near you!
Posted by brandi on 2009/03/15 @ 03:24 am
Awesome! I am so hitting up Bouldin Creek and Wheatsville for your baked goodies and queso when I get to Austin in May!
Posted by Stacy on 2009/03/15 @ 04:58 am
oo! I'll be in Austin this coming week! Pick me!! Pick me!!!

I love your site.
Posted by David on 2009/03/15 @ 06:56 am
No no!
***We sell our queso ONLY at
Bouldin creek cafe along with our baked goods.***

Wheatsville has their own queso which is completely different from ours.

my husband & i were at the restaurant a few months ago for the 1st time
Posted by Terri on 2009/03/16 @ 12:48 pm
and will be back again everytime we're in Austin. your queso is the best!
Posted by Terri on 2009/03/16 @ 12:51 pm
I adore your blog and your bakery inspires me to open my own. Yet, I'll be nearly as happy (and much less broke) with some of the treats from yours.
Posted by erin g. on 2009/03/16 @ 04:38 am
Those danishes look amazing!
Posted by Sanja on 2009/03/16 @ 08:02 am
ZOMG. Can't wait!!
Posted by Hannah on 2009/03/16 @ 08:23 am
Your baked goods look amazing! That dessert on the top looks meringue like how did you do it?
Posted by dreaminitvegan on 2009/03/16 @ 08:50 am
Yes! sxsw week is nuts in Austin.

Also, about the cake..It was a valentines day cake for the cafe. They ordered 4! This one was red velvet with cream cheese frosting. All vegan of course.
Posted by vegan explosion on 2009/03/17 @ 12:23 pm
I would love to try your vegan treats. Congrats on all the progress!
Posted by anichila on 2009/03/17 @ 01:54 am
Oh man, I'm sad I didn't get on here before the queso recipe was taken down because it looks really good. I can't wait for it to be put back on!
Posted by Laura on 2009/03/17 @ 02:18 am
Everything in the photos looks absolutely delish! Good luck with the business, I look forward to trying your version of queso.
Posted by Jackie on 2009/03/17 @ 11:03 am
I cannot WAIT to have some of your queso on my breakfast taco! Oh, my!!!
Posted by Stella on 2009/03/17 @ 02:01 am
Congrats on the bakery. I will stop by Bouldin Creek and check out the goodies. Thanks for hosting a giveaway. Your blog is awesom.
Posted by Krys on 2009/03/17 @ 03:28 am
I am addicted to your danish! The pastry is amazing, the cream is seductive, and the fruit gives it the perfect zing. Sometimes there's more nutmeg flavor and sometimes there's less. I like less. But I'm not complaining! No! I am eating! Happily, happily eating. (Contented sigh)
Posted by Rosie on 2009/03/17 @ 03:35 am
FINALLY! I get to check out your stuff. You're a hard woman to get a hold of! Uh oh culture shock for me...gonna have to go to that side of town now! I'm proud of you Girl! Your Cousin Melissa
Posted by Melissa on 2009/03/17 @ 06:53 am
Hey you guys rock! I can't wait to get to Austin next year (for grad school) and to see your stuff. I love bikes and vegan food so i think Austin will be a perfect fit for me.
Posted by Anthony on 2009/03/17 @ 11:51 am
those danishes look so great! i haven't had a danish since going vegan :(
good luck with the queso business!
Posted by Laura on 2009/03/18 @ 04:24 am
My partner and I think your blog has it going on.
Posted by seesue on 2009/03/19 @ 04:04 am
The thought of getting a taste of your pastries is enough to make my tummy rumble. Everything you post is seriously jaw-dropping and super encouraging for a newbie vegan who is intimidated by baking.

(p.s.: I'm in Berkeley, right by San Francisco, and if you'd care for a list of independent (non-Whole Foods) health food stores in these parts, I'd be more than happy to help you in your queso venture!)
Posted by Miette on 2009/03/19 @ 04:56 am
Congrats! Everything looks delicious.
Posted by Anne on 2009/03/19 @ 02:13 am
Looks Delicious!
Posted by Tasha on 2009/03/20 @ 06:09 am
Heehee! I'm glad the queso is getting its deserved fame! It's so yummy!
Posted by Leslie on 2009/03/20 @ 07:51 am
Congratulations on your business booming. The food looks amazing!
Posted by Tami (Vegan Appetite) on 2009/03/20 @ 09:57 am
I am so glad I snagged that recipe right before it left cyberspace. I have been making it and eating most of it directly from the pot! I hadn't realized how much I missed and craved queso!
Posted by sunshowers on 2009/03/21 @ 08:27 am
Can't wait to try the queso recipe once it's posted. Am majorly craving some type of nachos.. Yummm!!
Posted by mamaT on 2009/03/22 @ 01:56 am
I'm SO glad the business took off. I foresee franchises in your future. What is great is that treat by treat you are helping to dispel the myth that vegan food lack flavor.

Congrats on the success, and keep up the good work!
Posted by Dan B. on 2009/03/22 @ 04:15 am
congrats on all your recent adventures!
Posted by rachel on 2009/03/22 @ 05:17 am
Oh boy! I have been checking in at Bouldin ever since I heard the news, but alas, no queso yet...

P.S. I bought the remaining danishes and cookies last night for some house guests. They were gone in half an hour! :) So, sorry to anyone who went in looking for a sweet nibblet last night. :)
Posted by Sarah on 2009/03/22 @ 06:32 am
Congratulations, love! The winner will be a VERY lucky person. I can't wait to hear your announcement. xo!
Posted by Melisser on 2009/03/23 @ 04:17 am
I adore your queso! Even my carnivore of a husband doesn't mind that this is the only kind I will make!
Posted by Lauren on 2009/03/23 @ 05:41 am

Posted by XvictimOFkurovecX on 2009/03/29 @ 08:38 am
I have heard about your queso and have really been yearning for a taste since i went vegan a year ago. I hope you post it soon so I can try it! thanks for all the great, tasty recipes!
Posted by allison on 2009/03/29 @ 05:42 am

Posted by birdgherl on 2009/04/11 @ 03:56 am
I love that queso, and will definitely be all over buying it by the gallon once I can!

The baked goods are pretty awesome as well :-) My omni BF asks me to bring home a cookie sandwich anytime he knows I'm headed for Bouldin
Posted by VeganBecca on 2009/05/07 @ 11:10 am
it's been two months and still no queso :( I sure hope we see it soon!
Posted by mikaila on 2009/05/08 @ 06:40 am
I was at Bouldin Creek a month or so ago and got to try one of your cupcakes.... delicious!! Makes me wanna jump in the car and drive to Austin right now!
Posted by Vegan_Noodle on 2009/05/12 @ 09:36 am
those pastries look so amazing. And the queso looks really awesome too! are you thinking of opening a branch in Seattle?
Posted by Bethany on 2009/05/31 @ 10:23 am
I'm reading this and grinning ear to ear! I know you and Chris but your butts and have such a positive impact in the world. I miss you and think the world of you!
