First up is "best snack ever" aka pretzel sticks with melted chocolate chips...
Next is the Simple Baked Sweet Potatoes from The Raw Project (I added cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and allspice as the seasonings)...
Here's the awesome food from when I visited my sister Alena in Philadelphia. We went to Blackbird Pizzeria for lunch...
 |
| Alena had a slice of pepperoni pizza. |
 |
| I had a slice of veggie supreme pizza. |
 |
| We also decided to share a seitan "chicken" parm... |
 |
| ...and a seitan cheesesteak. |
 |
| (Of course, we couldn't finish everything, so here were my leftovers.) |
 |
| I bought a kitchen sink cookie (chocolate chips, potato chips, pretzels, pumpkin seeds, coconut flakes, and oats) on our way out, which we shared later at Alena's place with tea. |
 |
| We passed this adorable mural (on the side of the building for an animal rescue). |
 |
| And I got a free copy of Slingshot from Wooden Shoe Books, which I read on the train ride home. |
 |
| Centerfold. |
 |
| When I got home, I made sure to harvest my little garden before the frost. |
Next up is the Greek Lemon Soy Curls and Potatoes from The "V" Word (I left out the olives and parsley)...
And here's something new I tried, but wasn't too fond of; it was too sweet, more like a pumpkin pie puree...
Yesterday I made mashed sweet potatoes (with ½ T vegan butter, 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice mix (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice), a sprinkle of sugar, and some cranberries on top)...
...And baked Halloween cookies... I used the following cookie cutters, but the cookies expanded a bit too much while baking, so they morphed but are still delicious, haha!
Once Halloween is over, it will be that most magical time of the year, the National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo)! It will be my 6th time participating, and I'll be sure to keep you updated on my progress throughout the month.
Here's Cringer and Daisy, being silly...
...And Buttons and Leela briefly sharing the sunshine until Leela decides, "nah, nevermind"...
Peace. :)
