Hi everyone! On Sunday, I made a big batch of fettuccine Alfredo (using a jar of Victoria Vegan Alfredo sauce, which was alright, but definitely needed more salt) and soy curls. The leftovers were great as quick lunches throughout the week!
I also had some fun dinners with Field Roast mini corn dogs, tater tots, and veggies (pole beans, cucumbers) from my garden…
And I made a small batch of rice crispy treats using mini Dandies marshmallows, and later, a plain zucchini bread…
But the most fun food of the week was had today! I met up with my sister for a walk this morning; around lunchtime, we called to place an order for pickup at Firefly Cafe and Outpost. I got the burrito deluxe (with chips as the side); it was amazing but also super spicy! We ate outside at opposite ends of a picnic table at the park, and it was great to catch up with each other!
I also picked up a small grocery order of some fun treats from the outpost!
Here’s Daisy being her cute little self, settled in on my lap while I’m meditating…
Peace. :)
Hi everyone! I hope you are doing well! I took a hike in Green Lane with my family on Father’s Day; we wore masks and kept our distance. There was a lot of natural beauty…
As well as some cheerful human-made art that we found along one of the trails…
After the hike, we went to Rita’s for water ice; I got watermelon!
This week, I made more fettuccine alfredo, served with Wegmans “Don’t be Chicken” vegan chicken…
I got a lot of leftovers out of the big batch that I made; I started mixing in Wegmans “Don’t be Piggy” sausage patties when I ran out of the chicken…
I also tried this jerky in a pepperoni and cheese bagel sandwich, served with tater tots and broccoli; it was good!
Avocado toasted bagel with everything seasoning…
And takeout from SuTao Cafe! I got vegetable lo mein and fried tofu, which came with a nice dipping sauce…
And Zach got the spicy Sichuan style tofu with white rice…
In garden news, I started harvesting some snow peas, as well as my first zucchini!
And here’s Rogue lounging and being a cutie up in the cat tower…
Peace. :)
Hi everyone! Yesterday I cooked up two big batches of some favorite meals, so I’ll have plenty of leftovers for the rest of the week. I made butternut squash risotto with Aldi vegan meatballs for lunch, and then fettuccine Alfredo with kale for dinner!
Here are some pretty flowers…
A sketch…
And sweet Rogue keeping me warm while I sit at my desk…
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! The star of this post is my version of the Strawberry Banana Baked Oatmeal (Vegan) that The-Student-Turned-Doctor shared on Food for Dissertating.
I made it for breakfast this morning, and it was such a nice treat! I don’t have strawberries or bananas, so I used some of this frozen berry mix that we have in the freezer…
And no chocolate chips, so those were replaced with cocoa powder. But other than that, I followed the recipe, and it was delicious!
Earlier this week I whipped up a batch of alfredo sauce, so I’ve been portioning that out for fettuccine alfredo, one of my favorite comfort foods! This bowl included chickenless strips from Aldi.
Yesterday I had my shift at the food pantry. Things are running a bit differently with everything that’s going on, and we’ve been very busy. The increased need is being met with an enthusiastic outpouring of donations, so we were moving a lot of food in and out. I’m usually just there in the morning, but I ended up going home for a quick lunch (Amy’s Asian Dumpling Bowl) and then heading back for an afternoon shift as well.
Zach was a sweetheart and picked up vegan soups and other goodies for me when he went out for some groceries yesterday. I’m still planning to try cooking through the food I already had, but these will be good to have in case I need a break!
Here is the foundry on the first day of spring…
And Daisy offers you a virtual high-five for being your awesome self!
Peace. :)
