Brown Rice With Lentils, Mushrooms, and Spinach Stir Fry (AfroVeganChick)

Hi everyone! The new recipe I tried this week comes from AfroVeganChick – Brown Rice With Lentils, Mushrooms, and Spinach Stir Fry – and it was amazing! (I used frozen chopped spinach instead of fresh, and left out the coriander.) I know I will make this again sometime soon; the leftovers were perfect, so much so that I was disappointed when I’d finally finished them off! Definitely give this recipe a try! 

The kitties wish you all a “Happy Caturday!”

Kyoto Stir Fry

Hi everyone! Today's Vegan MoFo prompt is "Grocery store tips and tricks." I don't really have too many tips & tricks. When getting groceries, I just try to keep it simple and be as efficient as possible. I usually start at Giant because I can find most of what I need there. Then, if I need to, I'll go to the health food store -- Kimberton Whole Foods -- for whatever's left. It's a really nice store, a local family business with lots of vegan specialty items in stock. In addition to whatever ingredients I'll need that week, I always make sure to grab a quick meal, something that I can just heat up when I don't feel like cooking and/or don't have time. The dinner I had tonight was one such quick meal -- the Kyoto Stir Fry bowl from Sweet Earth -- something new I'd grabbed when it was on sale. It was good, but a little plain; I had to add some sriracha.

Here's my Inktober sketch...

Today was another dreary sort of day, so here's a throwback picture of Daisy back in the summer when she was sitting in the window, a nice breeze coming through the screen...

Buttons hasn't eaten much today, so the vet gave us a new appetite stimulant to try. Fingers crossed that it will work (or continue to work; she's just now eaten some dry food for me, yay!). Here's Buttons from last night; I took this pic after I had to get up from what was an incredibly adorable cuddle session; she had snuggled in between me & Zach on the couch and kept stretching against us and curling back up and being just way too cute...

And from this morning...

"Yes, I jumped back up here."

"Can you stop with the pictures so I can settle in?"

And from this afternoon, when she joined me for yoga...

Peace. :)

Simple Stir Fry (Long Island Vegan)

Hi everyone! This week I made a stir fry with the recipe Sarah shared on Long Island Vegan. I used tempeh, mushrooms, an orange bell pepper, and some frozen peas & carrots. The stir fry came together really well and was delicious served over white rice! The leftovers were really good, too! 

I caught Leela mid-meow; she looks like such a little goof… 

Peace. :)

Szechuan Pepper Stir Fry

Hello everyone! This week I tried a Szechuan pepper stir fry sauce that my mom found for me. 

I followed the suggested recipe on the back of the packet (substituting in Lightlife chick'n strips, of course). It was quick and easy to prepare, and I served it with whole wheat linguine. While super spicy, it was actually quite the delicious dish. 

And here are pictures of the kitties sharing the sunshine...
