My Apologies for the Absence

Hi everyone! I'm sorry for dropping off the blog for so long... since February 15, yikes! Everything's good and going well, I just stopped posting and realized I enjoyed the break, but I'm ready to be back now! Instead of catching you up on all the food I've enjoyed since then (just a tad overwhelming lol), I'm going to share some of my most recent good eats! Let's work backwards through some pics and start with a work lunch of absolutely delicious leftovers...

Fettuccine Alfredo with kale and Don't be Chicken

A sweet treat!

Vanilla glazed donut from Dottie's Donuts

Another leftover work lunch...

Annie's shells & vegan cheddar with garden green beans and veggie chips

And some cool finds at Aldi...

Tis the season!

A fun salad

OK, I'm going to wrap up the food pics there for now, so how about some kitty pics?

Cringer enjoying a catnap!

Rogue's cuddles are serious business, and she makes sure you know it!

And Daisy meditates with me!

Daisy had been on thyroid medication, but it messed with her liver levels, so she's on the thyroid diet prescription food now and seems to be enjoying it, especially since it's instead of us giving her medicine twice a day!

I hope everyone is doing well, and happy first day of October aka first day of Halloween! Hehe!

I grew them! :D

 Peace. :)

Fun New Foods and Faves

Hi everyone! First up for this week is a salad with root veggie chips...

Then a veggie burrito and chips from Moe's...

A fun ice cream to try...

A snacky lunch plate (the cheddar sticks and pizza bites were new to me)...

And ziti Alfredo with Wegmans' "Don't be Chicken" and kale...

Here's a dancing Daisy to make your day better...

Peace. :)

Oldies but Goodies

Hi everyone! Yesterday I cooked up two big batches of some favorite meals, so I’ll have plenty of leftovers for the rest of the week. I made butternut squash risotto with Aldi vegan meatballs for lunch, and then fettuccine Alfredo with kale for dinner! 

Here are some pretty flowers…

Peace. :)

Fries, Risotto, and Gummies!

Hi everyone! On Sunday, I used the last of my potatoes to make a big batch of oven fries; I had some with green beans and an Asian veggie burger from Aldi…

Yesterday I made butternut squash risotto, which I enjoyed with some Aldi vegan meatballs… 

And I found these cute gummies today when I went out on a quick grocery run…

Here is a picture from a walk that Zach and I took yesterday. It was raining, so there weren’t many other people out, making social distancing easy!

And here are Cringer and Rogue hanging out together…

Some Food and More Signs of Spring!

Hi everyone! Hope you’re all doing well! For breakfast on Sunday morning, I had my leftover baked oatmeal while Zach tried out the Gardein southwest saus’age & veggie breakfast bowl he’d found; his review: “It was pretty good.”

An easy lunch of leftover rosemary potatoes, Gardein fishless filets, and ½ can of Amy’s lentil vegetable soup… 

With a bag of baby carrots being the only veggies left in the house, I finally went out to Giant yesterday (two weeks since going for groceries). I got three bags of frozen greens (kale and collard greens), two little cans of green beans, two little cans of golden wax beans, and a little can of sauerkraut (I have pierogies in the freezer). I also got two bottles of apple juice since I was running low. Back at home, I made another batch of chex mix, which I’ve been having for a snack at night… 

For dinner, I had leftover fettuccine Alfredo with a Boca burger and some kale!

And today was another easy lunch: The last of the chickenless nuggets from Aldi, two hash browns, and some canned golden wax beans… 

A sign of spring in our front yard yesterday… 

And more signs of spring around the neighborhood this morning… 

To close today’s post, here we have Cringer and Rogue, hanging out together on the couch… 

Peace. :)

Food with Friends, V Marks the Shop, Vegan Treats, and Aldi

Hi everyone! I’ve got lots of good food for today’s post! On Saturday I went with a friend to South Philadelphia Tap Room for brunch; I ordered the vegan chicken & French toast! 

After that, we stopped at V Marks the Shop, and I picked up some goodies – not pictured are more pierogies of course! The mac & cheese was amazing (I’ll definitely get it again), and the ramen was my favorite from this brand so far. I haven’t gotten to try the cauliflower sauce yet, but I’m looking forward to it!

On Sunday, Zach and I went to dinner at Uno Pizzeria with a couple friends from D&D; I got the vegan cheese pizza, which was simple but good! 

And on Saturday, Zach picked up some Vegan Treats for us to share, so we’ve been enjoying these two cakes this week! 

Yesterday I finally made a trip to Aldi; I got some of my usual favorites…

And also found some new goodies that I’m excited to try! 

I did some batch cooking yesterday, so I have plenty of leftovers for the rest of this week. I made a butternut squash risotto, served with Aldi vegan meatballs…

And mashed potatoes and Gardein turk’y with gravy… 

Here is a funny picture of Daisy, who woke up and suddenly realized that Cringer was snuggling with her…

Peace. :)
