Some Yummy Goodies Plus Chickpea Pancakes

Hi everyone! I reached 28,000 words yesterday for NaNoWriMo, so I’m more than halfway there, woohoo! On Saturday I made the pumpkin rolls I’d gotten from Trader Joe’s and they were so good! 



On Sunday some friends and I went to V Marks the Shop; it was my first time there and it’s such a nice little store with so many amazing vegan products. When I saw the pierogies, I knew I needed to get a box (and another for my sister). I also grabbed some Thai peanut jerky and pumpkin Dandies for myself.






This week I made the savory chickpea pancakes from Amber Eats Veg Presents: This Vegan Lyfe. They were delicious – I had some with ketchup and the leftovers with smashed avocado, yum! 





And just for fun, I tried to make a gluten- and oil-free version of my mushroom gravy, and it turned out pretty good. I still need to make a few adjustments with the spices, but once I’ve perfected the recipe, I’ll be sure to share it!


Here’s a close-up of a cute cuddly Cringer… 


And here’s Leela testing out a different blanket while I wash the one that’s her favorite to sleep on; she seems skeptical so far, lol! 


Peace. :)

Vegan Treats, Yummy Meals, and Kitties!

Hi everyone! NaNoWriMo is going well for me so far; I’ve managed to stick to my 2,000 words/day goal, even though some days the writing has been a bit slow-going. And I still need to get todays writing done, so lets get to the food, shall we? On Sunday we stopped at Vegan Treats; I got the nutella cheesecake, and it was really good! 



On Tuesday, I prepared a bag of the Light ’n Fluffy macaroni dumpling noodles and tossed in a bunch of kale near the end. After draining out the water from the pasta and kale, I added the dressing ingredients for the kale salad that I first tried during Vegan MoFo, and it made for a lovely dish with some great leftovers for the rest of the week. 


Last night for dinner I needed something simple, so I tried the ramen soup cup from Trader Joe’s; I added in some broccoli (and later, after the picture, some chopped-up Boca chikn as well), and it was nice! I also enjoyed the everything but the bagel seasoning on a toasted vegan-buttered bagel. 





Leela got nice and comfy to meditate with me this morning… 


And here’s Rogue being a snuggly little sweetheart… 


Peace. :)

Wrapping Up October

Hi everyone! Quick post today because I need to get working on my NaNoWriMo writing – this is my 10th year participating! I’m aiming for 2,000 words/day so I can finish early. My story this year is sci-fi with a fantasy/mythic component, so we’ll see how it goes!

First up is some food from Luhv Vegan Bistro in Hatboro. I went with a friend on Saturday; I got the portabello melt, as well as the sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich, taking half of it home for leftovers the next day, lol! Next time I want to try the chik’n parm sandwich!




Sunday was the last day of the PAN Phoenixville Vegan Pledge (I was a mentor again), and the last meeting is always a potluck, so I made the pumpkin apple pie from House Vegan, and it was a hit! 



Here are some fun things I grabbed on sale at Kimberton Whole Foods…


And the Halloween goodies I gave out last night… 



Some sketches… 




And a cute pic of Leela placing her paw on my hand… 


Peace. :)
