Hello, 2021!

Hi everyone! I hope you are doing well! For New Year's Day dinner, I had a Field Roast celebration roast with kale and rice, which gave me some nice leftovers to enjoy the following days...

On Sunday, I made pumpkin bread using four different types of flour (buckwheat, oat, coconut, and almond) and these fun sprinkles that a friend got me for Christmas!

 

Mac & Chao with mushrooms and tater tots for an easy lunch on Tuesday...

And takeout from HipCityVeg for dinner...

On Thursday, I made a big batch of ziti with kale and alfredo sauce...

And yesterday, I made another pumpkin bread; I had a slice with some tea for snack last night...

I'll leave you with this too-much-cuteness moment I captured during a cuddle between Cringer and Rogue on Wednesday evening...

Peace. :)

Chicken Noodle Soup, Hummus, and SuTao Cafe Takeout

Hi everyone! I made a big batch of chicken noodle soup this week, using soy curls; it was quite delicious!

I also tried this new hummus, which was good with pretzels...

And I finally did another takeout order from SuTao Cafe! I got vegetable fried rice, veggie shrimp toast, veggie chicken, and wonton soup. Also spring rolls, but I forgot to take a pic before finishing those off!

Rogue insisted on some quality cuddle time this week, pinning me down with her cuteness...

Peace. :)

Fall is Here!

Hi everyone! My lunch for the first day of fall was Gardein’s chicken noodle soup with smashed avocado on a toasted bagel and everything seasoning! 

And my harvest that afternoon… 

Also this week, I made chicken noodle orzo, which was yummy… 

And little peanut butter rice burritos since they’d given me the taco size tortillas in my KWF grocery order instead of the burrito size, lol!

Last night we got takeout from SuTao Cafe for dinner; I got vegetable fried rice with lemon chicken, and it was so, so good! I’m looking forward to the leftovers today! 

And for breakfast this morning, we tried these pumpkin spice waffles; they were a nice seasonal treat! 

I haven’t done much sketching for a while, but in between taking notes during a work call Thursday afternoon, I managed to sneak some sketches in… 

And Daisy just keeps bringing the cuteness; here’s another meditation snuggle… 

Peace. :)

P.S. The-Student-Turned-Doctor saved the day and helped me get back to Legacy Blogger after my last post was a mess with the new Blogger! Hooray!

More Good Food Plus a Pumpkin!

Hi everyone! Zach and I got takeout from SuTao Cafe last Saturday for dinner; I got vegetable lo mein and fried tofu again! 

On Sunday, I tried Upton’s Naturals pad see ew for my lunch; it was pretty good! 

And I made another zucchini cake, this one with 2 tablespoons flax meal, which is now my new favorite!

And then my two big batch meals that got me through the week with all the leftovers: Vegetable noodle soup with gluten-free shells and soy curls…  

And another yellow squash casserole (this time using Chao’s tomato cayenne slices), with more BBQ tempeh… 

This little pumpkin grew all on its own in my garden! 

And here’s the rest of the harvest from that day… 

Plus a backyard bun… 

The French Creek after all the rain we had on Tuesday… 

And last but not least, Rogue making biscuits on my belly! 

Peace. :)

Zucchini Cake, Packed Lunch, and SuTao!

Hi everyone! I made my first chocolate zucchini cake of the year, and I’ve already finished it off, so I’ll be making another later today! 

I packed lunch for working at the pantry on Thursday… 

Salad with cherry tomatoes, sunflower seeds, crispy onions, and Daiya ranch, plus a grilled cheese!

And more SuTao takeout! 

Here are some pictures of the animals I saw on my early morning walk yesterday…   

A blurry hawk

I saw the little bun from the first picture again on my walk back

And Daisy saw a squirrel! 

Peace. :)

Green Lane, Good Eats, and First Zucchini!

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. :)
