Fall is Here!

Hi everyone! My lunch for the first day of fall was Gardein’s chicken noodle soup with smashed avocado on a toasted bagel and everything seasoning! 

And my harvest that afternoon… 

Also this week, I made chicken noodle orzo, which was yummy… 

And little peanut butter rice burritos since they’d given me the taco size tortillas in my KWF grocery order instead of the burrito size, lol!

Last night we got takeout from SuTao Cafe for dinner; I got vegetable fried rice with lemon chicken, and it was so, so good! I’m looking forward to the leftovers today! 

And for breakfast this morning, we tried these pumpkin spice waffles; they were a nice seasonal treat! 

I haven’t done much sketching for a while, but in between taking notes during a work call Thursday afternoon, I managed to sneak some sketches in… 

And Daisy just keeps bringing the cuteness; here’s another meditation snuggle… 

Peace. :)

P.S. The-Student-Turned-Doctor saved the day and helped me get back to Legacy Blogger after my last post was a mess with the new Blogger! Hooray!

Omelette Success, New Fridge, and KWF Order!

Hi everyone! Looks like I’m stuck with the new Blogger now (*rolls eyes*), so the formatting is all effed and I'm getting frustrated so, in food news, I was finally successful in making a Vegan Egg omelette…


Progress!


Perfection!

Takeout from Uno’s; they’ve significantly cut their vegan options, sadly, but it was still nice to be able to get the vegan cheese pizza (added broccoli) with a side of fries!



I made some pesto pasta and garlic bread bagels, which was a nice combination… 

Also chicken (TVP) and veggie rice…



As mentioned in the title, we finally got a new fridge! Our old fridge had been acting up for so long; we were able to get by with periodically thawing out the freezer, but it finally died at the beginning of the month. My sister lent us her mini fridge that she still had from college, so we’d been keeping our food in that and some coolers, but the new fridge finally arrived on Friday!


Old fridge



New fridge (plus Cringer)

So, to celebrate, on Saturday I placed a curbside pickup grocery order from Kimberton Whole Foods! (The friend I’d met up with last week had informed me that this was finally an option; I was super excited since I hadn’t been there since the pandemic started!)


They had everything boxed up so nicely!


New goodies to try!

Here’s Rogue being silly and deciding that the best, most comfy place to hang out is on a wet towel in the mini fridge. (We’d transferred everything to the new fridge and unplugged the mini fridge so it could defrost; Rogue was fascinated!)



Peace. :)

Burritos and More!

Hi everyone! I wanted to use up the rest of a bottle of BBQ sauce, so I made BBQ chicken (Wegman’s Don’t Be Chicken, sliced), corn, and rice burritos! 

I used the leftovers for a packed lunch later in the week… 

Zach and I went kayaking on Labor Day (on the Schuylkill River and Perkiomen Creek), and we ordered lunch/dinner from Moe’s when we were wrapping up. When we got home and unpacked our food, I couldn’t believe how many chips they’d given me with my burrito, so I had to take a pic, haha! 

I’ve also been trying to use up a container of VeganEgg. I kept trying for a coconut bacon and cheese (Follow Your Heart cheddar) omelette, but the first time I ended up with a delicious scrambled mess that I mixed in with smashed tater tots…

And the next time, it turned into an egg sandwich on a bagel… 

Yum!

More pole beans (and a couple cherry tomatoes) that I’ve harvested… 

And pictures from a walk in nature with a friend I hadn’t seen since the pandemic started… 

And Cringer keeping me company while I enjoy a meal… 

Peace. :)

SuTao Takeout and More Easy Meals!

Hi everyone! Last Sunday, we ordered takeout from SuTao Cafe and then went to Wilson Farm Park for a picnic! My sister Alena, Zach, and I found a nice tree and spread out under its shade to dig into a delicious distanced lunch! 

My vegetable fried rice and spring roll

My leftover rice (plus Boca chick’n) was an easy packed lunch on Monday… 

This week, I tried two of the frozen pot pies that Zach had found at Wegmans. They were both good, but I preferred the chik’n veggie… 

I finally got around to enjoying the lemon raspberry cheesecake I’d gotten from our last trip to Vegan Treats; it was so good! 

I also tried this soup, which was simple but really nice; I’ll be ordering it again from Firefly Cafe and Outpost… 

Random, but this mix of end-of-the-bag chips (blue corn tortilla and Doritos spicy sweet chili) made me think of Halloween (also, how is it September already?)… 

I tried this vegan mac & cheese that my mom had gotten for me; I had it with green beans and coconut bacon and it was delicious! 

And I finally had the Gardein chick’n noodl’ soup; it was great, even better than the chick’n & rice soup I’d tried first! So, that’s another thing I’ll be ordering from the outpost again! 

In garden news, I’ve been harvesting a ton of pole beans... 

And here is yet another picture of Daisy joining me to meditate; she got herself settled like this and then just hung out on my lap… 

Peace. :)
