Christmas 2018

Hi everyone! We got to have two dinners on Christmas – the first with my family, and the second with Zach’s family – and both meals were super delicious!

vegan chicken noodle soup

green beans (made by my mom); corn & mac (made by my sister); potatoes, cranberry sauce, and stuffing (all made by my mom); and a cheddar garlic roll, slice of Field Roast celebration roast, and agave-glazed carrots (made by me)

Dessert was apple pie with Soyatoo whipped cream, a chocolate chip cookie, and tea.

Zach’s mom prepared the second dinner…

Gardein holiday roast with gravy, corn, potatoes, rice, leftover cheddar garlic roll, crescent roll, and roasted carrots

Dessert was this awesome cake!

Rogue appreciated the stocking full of toys (plus catnip!) from my family… 

Daisy and Cringer continue to cuddle… 

And Leela is enjoying napping on her soft new blanket!

Peace. :)

Deconstructed Pierogi Bowl

Hi everyone! This week I decided to be super fancy (more like lazy, bahaha!), so I made a “deconstructed” pierogi bowl in order to use up the leftover pierogi filling from Vegan MoFo. All I did was to combine dumpling noodles with the re-heated sauerkraut and mushroom filling, but it was super delicious!

When The Student-turned-Doctor suggested these noodles for stroganoff, I’d picked up a bag. I haven’t gotten a chance to try them in stroganoff yet, but they were perfect for this!

I also used some elbow noodles to make a batch of baked pumpkin walnut rotini mac, which worked out really well! 

Here’s a sleepy Leela wondering why her nap is being disturbed for something as silly as a picture… 

Peace. :)

New Food, Leftovers, and the Firebird Festival!

Hi everyone! This was my easy lunch on Sunday…

white rice with sriracha; spring rolls and dipping sauce

The spring rolls were something new I’d found to try; they started falling apart when I was cooking them, so I just microwaved them instead, but they were really good! 

For several dinners this week, I made a slightly-modified version of the no chicken noodle soup from Long Island Vegan to use up some stuff; delicious! 

And to finish off the last of the golden gravy from Vegan MoFo, I baked some tater tots and cubed tempeh and poured the gravy over top; this might be one of my most beige meals ever, but it was great! 

And here are some photos from the Firebird Festival; it was an amazing time, as always! 

Cringer’s been cuddling up a storm with Daisy… 

Peace. :)
