Fun New Foods and Faves

Hi everyone! First up for this week is a salad with root veggie chips...

Then a veggie burrito and chips from Moe's...

A fun ice cream to try...

A snacky lunch plate (the cheddar sticks and pizza bites were new to me)...

And ziti Alfredo with Wegmans' "Don't be Chicken" and kale...

Here's a dancing Daisy to make your day better...

Peace. :)

Curry and a Firebird!

Hi everyone! Short post today because I didn't have much new or exciting in the way of food this week, but I did try the porkless Thai curry from Gardein (served, of course, with a vegan egg roll from Wegmans). It was good, and I'm glad I gave it a try, but I don't know that I'd buy this skillet meal again; I've enjoyed other ones more.

The Firebird Festival was cancelled this year, so we made our own little firebirds and lit them in the backyard last night. This was mine -- made from red tissue paper, toothpicks, and staples...

Another day, another pic of Cringer using Daisy as a pillow; it's just that time of year!

Peace. :)

Vegan Treats and Other Good Stuff!

Hi everyone! On Sunday morning, we hung out with a friend on a masked walk around Cedar Creek Park in Allentown, and on the way home, we stopped at Vegan Treats! I got the chicken and waffle donut, which ended up being my lunch, hehe! 

I also got the raspberry white chocolate brownie, which was a nice treat as well! 

I tried these vegetable dumplings from Wegmans; they were alright, but I’m not in a rush to get them again. I had them in miso soup with a buttered everything-seasoned bagel. 

I made a big batch of chicken noodle soup this week, and I’m still working through the leftovers, which have now absorbed all the broth, lol! 

I also finally tried the Loma Linda chipotle bowl that Zach had gotten for me a while ago; it was good but incredibly spicy!

And of course I’m already planning ahead for next year’s garden, so I ordered some seeds from High Mowing Organic Seeds – three different types of pumpkin, as well as Brussels sprouts and a pollinator mix! I was so excited when they arrived in the mail! 

Finally, here’s a cute little creepin’ Cringer, peeking out from beneath one of the kitchen window curtains… 

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. :)

Food and Flowers and More!

Hi everyone, and happy solstice! This was my dinner on Sunday: Boca chik’n burger with Violife cheese on a pretzel roll, with Alexia waffle fries and pickles and salad with a tahini dressing… 

I perfected the salad the next day by adding crispy onions! 

Zach and I went kayaking on Thursday; here are the pics from before we took off down the Schuylkill River… 

Once we were done, we ordered takeout from Moe’s for a late lunch/early dinner; I got a burrito with rice, beans, guacamole, grilled peppers, lettuce, and cucumbers, and it came with a huge side of chips! 

And here’s a messy picture of a delicious part of my lunch yesterday – a Tofurky beer brat on a pretzel sausage bun with mustard and smashed avocado! 

More Wegmans goodies from Zach to try… 

And breakfast for dinner last night was pretty yummy (not pictured: I also had a buttered bagel with everything seasoning)… 

Flowers from my walk this morning… 

And here’s how my garden is progressing, plus some blossoms!

Snow peas

Cucumber

Zucchini

Cringer in a box! 

Peace. :)
