Quick Post Today!

Hi everyone! A couple simple but delicious meals I’ve had the rest of this week include this vegetable quinoa soup (with crackers)… 

And more spicy peanut sauce with rice, baked tofu, and broccoli!

Here’s a sketch I did on Tuesday…

Fun Foods and a Second Garden!

Hi everyone! Inspired by the awesome bowls that Hillary always makes, I made spicy peanut sauce to top some rice, baked tofu, and broccoli; it was delicious! 

Zach found these at Wegmans and got them for me; they were so good, like minty Mounds bars! I’ve already finished them off, lol! 

I made this pepperoni and cheese sandwich, which I had with some cauliflower tater tots… 

And I finally tried the Nada Moo birthday cake ice cream, which was a really fun flavor! 

On Tuesday afternoon, I cleared out this section of broken bricks, weeds, and grass… 

And planted a second garden – corn, more cucumbers, and radishes!

More Pizza and Trail Pics!

Hi everyone! I really enjoyed the pizza I’d made on Friday, so I made another for lunch yesterday, this time with green peppers and Italian seasoning; it was really good! 

For dinner I made peanut butter rice and broccoli for a burrito!

Here are some pictures from another walk along the Schuylkill River Trail… 

A couple sketches… 

And sweet, silly Daisy enjoying the sunshine…

Lunch at Franconia Heritage Restaurant

Hi everyone, no new recipe again, but I do have an awesome lunch to share! My mom, aunt, and I took my sister to Franconia Heritage Restaurant for her birthday this week. They have a separate vegan menu, so we ordered lots of good food and were pleasantly surprised to find that the portions have increased since a previous visit in 2018. They had two vegan soups, so I ordered the creamy broccoli and carrot soup while my sister ordered the vegetable chowder. The soup arrived in an overflowing bowl, and it was incredibly delicious! 

My sister got the vegan chicken Parmesan (a breaded cutlet this time instead of Beyond Chicken strips) with fries, and I got the vegan tortellini, which was another gigantic serving, and a much better pasta-to-sauce ratio than it had been before… 

I was only able to put a small dent into that after finishing the soup (and the fries, which were an unexpected side), so I had some really nice leftovers for lunch this week! 

Here’s everything all together…

Vegan Treats, Yummy Meals, and Kitties!

Hi everyone! NaNoWriMo is going well for me so far; I’ve managed to stick to my 2,000 words/day goal, even though some days the writing has been a bit slow-going. And I still need to get today’s writing done, so let’s get to the food, shall we? On Sunday we stopped at Vegan Treats; I got the nutella cheesecake, and it was really good! 

On Tuesday, I prepared a bag of the Light ’n Fluffy macaroni dumpling noodles and tossed in a bunch of kale near the end. After draining out the water from the pasta and kale, I added the dressing ingredients for the kale salad that I first tried during Vegan MoFo, and it made for a lovely dish with some great leftovers for the rest of the week. 

Last night for dinner I needed something simple, so I tried the ramen soup cup from Trader Joe’s; I added in some broccoli (and later, after the picture, some chopped-up Boca chik’n as well), and it was nice! I also enjoyed the everything but the bagel seasoning on a toasted vegan-buttered bagel. 

Leela got nice and comfy to meditate with me this morning…

Cheesy Grits (Rabbit and Wolves)

Hi everyone! This week I made the cheesy grits from Rabbit and Wolves (I learned of the recipe through Food for Dissertating), and they were really good! I had them with some shiitake bacon and broccoli. 

Last night, I enjoyed some of the leftovers with Gardein chipotle lime crispy fingers and peppers. Cringer decided to give it a sniff or two… 

In garden news, I’ve started picking blueberries… 

And harvesting snow peas and lots of wax beans!

Broccoli Corn Casserole (Long Island Vegan)

Hi everyone! This week I made the broccoli corn casserole from Long Island Vegan; it turned out great, and it’s definitely a recipe I’ll use again! 

I had some for dinner last night with a Boca chik’n patty and a hash brown; delicious! 

Leela says hello! 

Peace. :)
