Hi everyone! On Sunday, I made the Gardein chick’n fiesta skillet meal for me and Zach…
Last night I made beans and rice; I added some of this Cajun seasoning, which was a nice touch…
And this morning I made chex mix, using up the last of the bagel chips and multigrain squares…
In other news, I started sketching again…
Zach and I took a walk along the Schuylkill River Trail yesterday afternoon; here are some pretty flowers we saw…
And here is a sweet, sleepy Cringer…
Peace. :)
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. :)
Hi everyone! How are we all doing? I’m trying to make the best of things and treat this whole social distancing thing as a reason to cook some meals and snacks that I’ve been meaning to make but haven’t (even though I’ve had the ingredients). First up was this breakfast-for-lunch of scrambled tofu, Field Roast apple maple breakfast sausage, and hash browns with ketchup, which was delicious…
Yesterday I made chex mix; it’s been a while since I’ve made this, but I always love it!
Of course I’ve still been having my usual oats for breakfast lol…
I forgot to take a pic, but I also made a Gardein skillet meal (chick’n florentino) that I’d had in the freezer for a while; it was a nice weekend dinner for me and Zach. And I’ve been making some faves for myself like my peanut butter brown rice burritos.
In addition to cooking, I’m getting lots of reading done, making good progress on my writing, and having lots of cuddles with the kitties. I’m cleaning and reorganizing things in the house. I’m catching up on movies and TV; I finally watched the new Jungle Book, and I also realized that Good Girls started up again, so I watched the first episode of the new season online last night. Every afternoon, Zach (he’s working from home) and I get some fresh air outside; when we’re not working on preparing the garden (weeding, turning the soil, and mixing in compost from the bin), we’re kicking a soccer ball back and forth in our yard. And I’m always happy to see these lovely signs of spring…
I moved this stepladder to the back door so that Rogue could better observe the nest-building birds under the overhang. Can you see the little bird in the first pic?
Peace. :)
Hey everyone! Today's Vegan MoFo prompt is: Late Night Snack – Tell us what you’re midnight snacking on! I'm not a midnight-snacker; I usually have a snack around 9:00 p.m. Close enough, right? So, tonight I made a batch of House Vegan's spicy chex mix -- just in time to watch V for Vendetta with Zach!
Leela is sometimes a slower eater, so if she still has food left at the end of the day, I'll put it at the foot of the bed for her to munch on whenever she takes a break from cuddling with me. Well, Buttons finally caught on, and one night I came up to bed to find her patiently waiting for a midnight snack...
Peace. :)
Hi everyone! Last night I tried House Vegan's recipe for homemade chex mix. I halved the recipe and used Cascadian Farm Multi Grain Squares for the chex, as well as mini pretzels and broken-up bagel chips. I baked the chex mix for 25 minutes and then let it cool for a bit before digging in...

| YUM! |
It's really fun & easy to make your own chex mix, so I'll definitely revisit this recipe soon! I think next time I'll still do only half of the chex mix, but with the full amount of seasonings. (I'm used to the bagged chex mix, which is super salty haha!)
Well, there's only a few more days until Vegan MoFo 2016 (and NaNoWriMo)! I'm hoping to get in two more posts before November -- my Phoenixville VegFest recap and a September/October new foods post, so we'll see how that goes!
In the meantime, here are some sunshine kitties...
Peace. :)
