BBQ Baked Beans & Coleslaw (Quick and Easy Vegan Celebrations)

Hi everyone! This week I made two new recipes – the BBQ baked beans and coleslaw – from the 4th of July section of Quick and Easy Vegan Celebrations by Alicia C. Simpson. I also made the chipotle macaroni & cheese salad from AfroVeganChick because people enjoyed it last year. Here’s my plate from yesterday's BBQ, which was hosted by my sister and her husband… 

Chipotle macaroni & cheese salad, coleslaw, potato salad (made by my mom), vegan burger from Aldi, and BBQ baked beans.

Here’s Daisy, making a funny face. I’m not sure what had so grabbed her attention, but I got several pics of her like this... 

Peace. :)

July MiniMoFo: BBQ Chicken (The “V” Word)

Hi everyone! The MiniMoFo theme for July is BBQ, so this week, I tried a recipe I’ve had bookmarked for a while: Vegan Buffalo BBQ Chicken from The “V” Word. It turned out great (I had it with white rice and steamed peppers), and the leftovers were amazing, too! I’ll definitely make this again, but with less hot sauce – ¼ cup was a bit too much for me, but I powered through it this time, haha!

I’ve harvested 17 more cucumbers since my last post (and made two more jars of pickles), and the carrots should be ready to harvest on Sunday, so I’m excited!

Here’s a sharpie & colored pencil sketch I did earlier this week… 

And here’s Buttons having a cat nap with her face in the sunshine… She has a follow-up appointment on Monday with the surgeon to make sure everything’s healed OK from the teeth she had pulled, so fingers crossed that goes well!

Peace. :)
