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. :)
Hi everyone! Leela’s been doing well this week – and being super cute like always! It was cool enough last Friday night that she finally hung out on her warm white blanket; she’d avoided it all summer, haha!
On Saturday, I went down to Bridge Street and had to take a picture of this sign outside Reads & Company, complete with a photobomb by Rose of Diving Cat Studio Gallery…
She was doing a walkabout and decided to stop in at the bookstore, so I went in with her, and picked out a new book!
Some of my improved green bean casserole; I added penne, nutritional yeast, and some salt…
Leela being a goof…
A photo of the foundry building…
Some fun finds that were on sale at Kimberton Whole Foods – I’m really excited to try the Plant Snacks crackers (I’ve heard such good things about them!), the pizza I’ve had before and enjoyed, and the cream cheese I grabbed for Zach…
And they had these Hippeas snack packs for Halloween, so I figured that would be a nice addition to the candy bowls!
On Tuesday, I made the salad with tofu, rice, and spicy peanut sauce from My cat loves Daiya! (minus the cabbage), and it was so good!
I also got some treats from Vegan Essentials! I’m so excited to try the Vegan Dude chips (I first saw them on Kittens Gone Lentil), and the Primal Strips Thai Peanut jerky is so good but I haven’t seen it at Kimberton for a while so I decided to stock up...
And finally, a sleepy Leela from last night…
Peace. :)
