NaNoWriMo Food

Hi everyone! Yesterday I completed my ninth National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), writing 50,000 words in November!


I didn’t try any new recipes this week, so I figured I would (re)share what’s been my most dependable easy meal this month. I’ve posted before about my peanut butter brown rice burrito, but I modified it to be even simpler so I could have quick dinners when I finally finished writing for the day. I combine ½ cup of instant white rice and ½ cup of water, bring the two to a boil, stir, cover, and remove from heat. I let that sit while I heat up a cup of frozen vegetables (broccoli, carrots, and cauliflower) in the microwave, get out the rest of the ingredients (a tortilla, soy sauce, peanut butter, ginger, and garlic powder), and snack on some candy (leftover from Halloween lol; it’s usually victory Smarties, but I switched it up with Sour Patch Kids this year).
Then I stir the rice, stir in the veggies, add some soy sauce, a big spoonful of peanut butter, and some shakes of ginger and garlic powder, and stir it all together and then onto the tortilla for the burrito! 



In other news, I visited the firebird this week to take some pictures. The Firebird Festival is taking place on Saturday, December 8; it’s going to be our fifth time attending, and I’m so excited! 


Here’s Daisy up in the cat tower this morning… 


Peace. :)

    1. Thank you, Hillary; Daisy's slowly getting better at standing up to Rogue when she doesn't want to play, and Rogue is learning to dial it back a bit when they do play, so that helps, too! One of the things we've noticed is that sometimes when Rogue starts chasing Daisy, she will slow down a bit to let Daisy get a head start, haha! :)

  3. Congratulations on all that writing! I love the Firebird. So majestic.

    I haven't thought to put peanut butter in a burrito but I can see how it would work well!
