I decided to celebrate Día de los Muertos this year. Celebrating the lives of those who have left us is a way to seemingly keep them around a bit longer. And we can enjoy good food and appreciate life while we are still here. I celebrated life with home-made poblano and black bean tamales.
This is my second batch of home-made tamales based on a recipe found in ¡Salud! Vegan Mexican Cookbook by Eddie Garza. The recipe was so successful that I made it again, and this time I doubled the recipe so that I could share and also have some for later.

I also made vegan sugar cookies to share, however it looks like the whole batch will be mine. I'm still the weirdo in the family, and my vegan cookies never get the respect they deserve.
