Hello everyone! Yesterday I made an improvement onto the pizza dough recipe I've been using: after the pizza's baked for 10 minutes, brush the crust with a mixture of melted Earth Balance (1 T), garlic salt (1 tsp), and Italian seasoning (1/2 tsp). Then it's back in for another 10 minutes.
I love this new twist; it basically turns the crust into garlic bread and gets it nice & golden!
P.S. For anyone concerned from my last post that Daisy might be missing out on cuddles, Buttons actually joined her one night for snuggle time! Picture by Zach...
And here's a picture from earlier in October of Cringer and Leela, sharing the bed but still keeping a healthy distance haha...
Peace. :)
Hello everyone! For the third MiniMoFo challenge, I made Coconut Pumpkin Bread, another recipe from House Vegan: Fall FoMo No More. It turned out really well; coconut and pumpkin are such a perfect combination! This is sure to become a traditional fall recipe for me!
I realized the other day that I haven't shared any of my sketches here recently, so here's the fall-themed art I did on Tuesday night when I went out with Zach and some of his soccer friends. The "tablecloths" were brown paper and they provided colored pencils in a jar on the table, so I decided to art the night away...

And now for some major cuteness...
As fall settles in and the nights grow colder, cuddles are certainly called for, so Cringer has been diligently working on softening Buttons up to the idea. One night she was bold and pressed her nose into Buttons' side, but that didn't last long (I tried to get a picture but Buttons moved before I could). So, on Wednesday night, Cringer settled for just resting her head on the corner of the purple blanket...
...but by Thursday night, something clicked, and they finally they settled in, side by side!
Daisy, on the other paw, works on getting close to Leela during the day. This endeavor is going to be more of a challenge because Leela really only likes to cuddle humans, not fellow kitties. But Daisy can be patient...
P.S. Less than one week left to sign up for Vegan MoFo! I signed up last night; have you?
Peace. :)
Hello everyone! For the second MiniMoFo challenge, I picked Hannah Teson of House Vegan. Last year, I had the opportunity to test some of her delicious recipes for House Vegan: Fall FoMo No More. Last night, I made Chickpeas and Dumplings, a recipe from her book!
It was a fun dinner to prepare (especially the dumplings!), and it makes a very filling meal. (Zach thought it was good, too.) Also, the leftovers are great; I had some for my lunch today! So, be sure to check out Hannah's blog and book -- she is awesome and her recipes are always so creative!
Here's Daisy, Cringer, and Buttons sharing an open window to excitedly sniff the fall air yesterday...
...and Leela, all tuckered out and ready for bedtime cuddles last night...
Peace. :)
