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. :)

Hello, 2021!

Hi everyone! I hope you are doing well! For New Year's Day dinner, I had a Field Roast celebration roast with kale and rice, which gave me some nice leftovers to enjoy the following days...

On Sunday, I made pumpkin bread using four different types of flour (buckwheat, oat, coconut, and almond) and these fun sprinkles that a friend got me for Christmas!

 

Mac & Chao with mushrooms and tater tots for an easy lunch on Tuesday...

And takeout from HipCityVeg for dinner...

On Thursday, I made a big batch of ziti with kale and alfredo sauce...

And yesterday, I made another pumpkin bread; I had a slice with some tea for snack last night...

I'll leave you with this too-much-cuteness moment I captured during a cuddle between Cringer and Rogue on Wednesday evening...

Peace. :)

Curry and a Firebird!

Hi everyone! Short post today because I didn't have much new or exciting in the way of food this week, but I did try the porkless Thai curry from Gardein (served, of course, with a vegan egg roll from Wegmans). It was good, and I'm glad I gave it a try, but I don't know that I'd buy this skillet meal again; I've enjoyed other ones more.

The Firebird Festival was cancelled this year, so we made our own little firebirds and lit them in the backyard last night. This was mine -- made from red tissue paper, toothpicks, and staples...

Another day, another pic of Cringer using Daisy as a pillow; it's just that time of year!

Peace. :)

Good Food, More Nature Pics, and a Kitten!

Hi everyone! Let's get started with the food, shall we? One of my favorite easy lunches when I get home from my shifts at the pantry is a mac & Chao bowl with green beans and tater tots, plus a salad...

My fun dinners this week were burritos with rice, black beans, guac, and crushed Doritos (spicy sweet chili)...

I got this cream cheese for Zach, who ended up not being a fan of it, so I'm finishing it off. Even though I don't consider myself much of a cream cheese person, this is actually pretty good!

And this everything bagel seasoning hummus was a neat treat...

Leftover Gardein chicken fried rice with a Wegmans vegan eggroll...

And more chicken noodles, with soy curls!

And some nature pics from Norristown Farm Park; this walk was a nice way to catch up with a friend I hadn't seen since the beginning of the year......

And as promised, a kitten! Yesterday I got to meet Captain Fluffy Pants, who was rescued by a friend and is such an adorable little sweetheart, though still getting used to people. 

And to wrap up today's post, here are the two extremes of Rogue -- super-spinny ball of energy... 

And melt-on-your-lap cat...

Peace. :)

Cheesy Rice and More Good Food!

Hi everyone! Hope you're doing well! Something new I tried this week was Annie's vegan cheesy rice, which made for a nice lunch and then some leftovers!

Another good meal was Gardein fishless filets with oven fries and pickles!

More pumpkin bread, this time half buckwheat flour, half oat flour (I'm trying to use up some of my random flour collection)...

Some delicious chicken noodle soup with barely any broth, so let's just call it chicken noodles lol...

And some salad with pepperoni bits!

A sunset pic from after kayaking on Sunday...

And Cringer says she has the comfiest pillow in all the world, thanks to Daisy!

Peace. :)
