Random Food in May

Hi everyone! Quick post today covering some of the new foods I've tried this month. First up are some goodies I got at the Vegan Pledge...

The lemon poppyseed cookie from Alternative Baking Company was amazing! 

The orange dark chocolate from Equal Exchange was really good, and I have a second bar to still enjoy, hooray! 

The sea salt drops from Bridge Street Chocolates are great; I've been taking my time to savor them, haha! 

Zach suggested trying the Daiya cheezy mac with veggies, and we both liked it; Zach already made sure to pick up another box on our last grocery trip hehe. 

I was so excited to find the breakfast patties from Lightlife, and they are awesome, definitely the best vegan breakfast sausage I've tried so far! Served with a tofu scramble & toast. 

Some new chips I've tried... The sea salt ones are good, but the salt & pepper ones are fantastic! 

Finally, I tried another roasted chickpeas recipe this week, this one from Tofu for Thought. They were great in a bowl with potatoes & veggies. 

It got pretty hot this week; while digging out a fan from the hall closet, I tossed out the old drop cloth from the last time I painted. Leela quickly made a nest in it, and growled at Buttons when she tried to crash the party!

“This is Fort Leela, no Buttons allowed.”

Peace. :)

Amy's Veggie Sausage and Hash Browns

This week's exciting find was Amy's veggie sausages at Target! I made them with hash browns and toast, yum! 

Hash Browns: Wash and grate one medium red potato. Rinse the grated potato in cold water, drain, rinse again, drain. Squeeze out as much water as possible. Add vegan butter to a pan on medium heat. Add the grated potato, as well as salt, pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Cook and stir until desired crispiness. (Don't forget to add some ketchup on the side!) 

Buttons has sprawled out close to Leela several times since last week. This picture was taken after she walked over, plopped herself down as close as she felt Leela would be OK with, and then stretched to look at her. (Leela, meanwhile, just kept snoring away.)

Peace. :)
