Pumpkin Bread, Salad, and More!

Hi everyone, and happy November! This week I made myself some pumpkin bread, which was a perfect fall treat...

I also had plenty of salads: French blend with bacon bits and Daiya ranch...

And I tried this new Gardein bowl, which was delicious; I added a vegan egg roll from Wegmans...

And I made myself some vegetable orzo for lunch today with plenty of leftovers to enjoy during the week...

I had my last garden harvest yesterday...

And here's Rogue lounging cutely in the cat tower...

Peace. :)

Omelette Success, New Fridge, and KWF Order!

Hi everyone! Looks like I’m stuck with the new Blogger now (*rolls eyes*), so the formatting is all effed and I'm getting frustrated so, in food news, I was finally successful in making a Vegan Egg omelette…


Progress!


Perfection!

Takeout from Uno’s; they’ve significantly cut their vegan options, sadly, but it was still nice to be able to get the vegan cheese pizza (added broccoli) with a side of fries!



I made some pesto pasta and garlic bread bagels, which was a nice combination… 

Also chicken (TVP) and veggie rice…



As mentioned in the title, we finally got a new fridge! Our old fridge had been acting up for so long; we were able to get by with periodically thawing out the freezer, but it finally died at the beginning of the month. My sister lent us her mini fridge that she still had from college, so we’d been keeping our food in that and some coolers, but the new fridge finally arrived on Friday!

New fridge (plus Cringer)

So, to celebrate, on Saturday I placed a curbside pickup grocery order from Kimberton Whole Foods! (The friend I’d met up with last week had informed me that this was finally an option; I was super excited since I hadn’t been there since the pandemic started!)


They had everything boxed up so nicely!


New goodies to try!

Here’s Rogue being silly and deciding that the best, most comfy place to hang out is on a wet towel in the mini fridge. (We’d transferred everything to the new fridge and unplugged the mini fridge so it could defrost; Rogue was fascinated!)



Peace. :)

Valley Forge, Zucchini Cakes, and More!

Hi everyone! On Sunday, I met up with a friend for a social distance hangout/picnic in Valley Forge National Historical Park. We found a shady spot above Valley Creek and settled in to have some snacks and catch up…

I tried these baked graham bites that Zach had gotten for me at Wegmans, and they were pretty good! 

I also made more zucchini cakes this week, of course! This one with whole wheat flour, peanut butter powder, frozen mixed berries, and walnuts… 

And this one that I made yesterday, which I think was my favorite version so far. If I remember the measurements correctly, I used 1 cup whole wheat flour, 1/3 cup peanut butter powder, 1 tsp baking soda, ½ tsp baking powder, ¼ tsp salt, 1 tsp cinnamon, ½ cup brown sugar, ½ cup applesauce, 1 tsp vanilla, 2 cups zucchini, and 1 cup frozen mixed berries, baking the cake for 55 minutes. 

My packed lunch this week was a burrito with rice, black beans, Cajun seasoning, and guacamole… 

I had the last of the rice, beans, and guacamole in a bowl with blue corn tortilla chips for lunch yesterday… 

Here are some recent harvests…

And finally, Rogue and her cute floofy belly... 

Peace. :)

Quick Post Today!

Hi everyone! A couple simple but delicious meals I’ve had the rest of this week include this vegetable quinoa soup (with crackers)… 

And more spicy peanut sauce with rice, baked tofu, and broccoli!

Here’s a sketch I did on Tuesday… 

And Daisy stretching to show off her cute little belly! 

Peace. :)

Fun Foods and a Second Garden!

Hi everyone! Inspired by the awesome bowls that Hillary always makes, I made spicy peanut sauce to top some rice, baked tofu, and broccoli; it was delicious! 

Zach found these at Wegmans and got them for me; they were so good, like minty Mounds bars! I’ve already finished them off, lol! 

I made this pepperoni and cheese sandwich, which I had with some cauliflower tater tots… 

And I finally tried the Nada Moo birthday cake ice cream, which was a really fun flavor! 

On Tuesday afternoon, I cleared out this section of broken bricks, weeds, and grass… 

And planted a second garden – corn, more cucumbers, and radishes! 

Here’s a sleepy Cringer… 

Peace. :)

More Pizza and Trail Pics!

Hi everyone! I really enjoyed the pizza I’d made on Friday, so I made another for lunch yesterday, this time with green peppers and Italian seasoning; it was really good! 

For dinner I made peanut butter rice and broccoli for a burrito!

Here are some pictures from another walk along the Schuylkill River Trail… 

A couple sketches… 

And sweet, silly Daisy enjoying the sunshine… 

Peace. :)
