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. :)

Lots of Pasta, and Other Good Food

Hi everyone! Last week I made a big batch of spaghetti with kale and Tofurky Italian sausage, with some salad as well...

A lazy meal of Upton's cheesy bacon mac with tater tots and pickles...

These granola bars, which were yummy...

And chicken noodle soup with Chao grilled cheese...

Last but not least, a delicious burrito, with these chips for some crunch...

Here's a sleepy Cringer...

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. :)

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. :)

Easy Meals Continue!

Hi everyone! It's been another week of simple -- but delicious -- meals! First up is a Mac & Chao bowl with tater tots and pole beans from my garden!

And then we have a Gardein black bean burger on a multigrain roll with ketchup, pickles, and a slice of Chao, plus some more tater tots on the side!

And finally, we got takeout from SuTao Cafe for dinner on Friday, and I finished up the leftovers for my lunch today -- vegetable fried rice with lemon chicken, plus the last of the vegan egg rolls from Wegmans!

A pretty flower...

Another harvest...

And a sleepy Cringer...

Peace. :)

Fall Treats Plus Mac & Cheese

Hi everyone! So, one of my favorite fall treats this year is a vanilla So Delicious yogurt to which I add allspice, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg, making it into a pumpkin spice yogurt!

I also placed a little Vegan Essentials order to get some Halloween goodies; these are Sjaak's white chocolate skull pops and chocolate bites; the orange ones are orange-flavored, the black are peanut butter...

I also got these new-to-me items to try...

This pumpkin spice cookie that I got with my last Kimberton Whole Foods grocery order was really good...

And a friend picked up a chocolate cookie sandwich for me from Crust Vegan Bakery; it was delicious!

And finally, some mac & cheese (using Miyoko's cheddar slices) with some chick'n tenders (the chick'n tenders were just OK, so I doubt I'll get them again)...

Some pictures from my outdoor walk with friends...

And Daisy's face as she realizes that with the weather getting cooler, being a pillow for her sister is going to be her life now...

Peace. :)
