Cheesy Grits (Rabbit and Wolves)

Hi everyone! This week I made the cheesy grits from Rabbit and Wolves (I learned of the recipe through Food for Dissertating), and they were really good! I had them with some shiitake bacon and broccoli. 

Last night, I enjoyed some of the leftovers with Gardein chipotle lime crispy fingers and peppers. Cringer decided to give it a sniff or two… 

In garden news, I’ve started picking blueberries… 

And harvesting snow peas and lots of wax beans! 

Here’s a sleepy Cringer… 

Peace. :)

Nacho Mac

Hi everyone! This week I have a new recipe that came about – as delicious ones tend to do – because there were some ingredients that needed using up… 

Nacho Mac

Ingredients:
1 cup elbow macaroni
1/2 of a 15.5 oz can of black beans, drained and rinsed (~2/3 cup)
1/3 block Jalapeno Havarti Daiya (~3/4 cup shredded)
1/4 cup soy milk
1 tablespoon salsa
1/2 tablespoon nutritional yeast
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
handful crushed tortilla chips

Directions: 
Cook & drain the macaroni, then return it to the pot. Stir in the beans, cheese, soy milk, salsa, nutritional yeast, and turmeric; continue stirring, on low heat, until the cheese is melted. Serve with crushed tortilla chips on top. 

(The next time I make this, I’m thinking of adding some avocado!)

Here’s a sleepy (and then quickly alert) Rogue… 

Peace. :)

Peanut Butter and Banana Milkshake (AfroVeganChick)

Hi everyone! Yesterday I made the peanut butter and banana milkshake from AfroVeganChick; it’s a super easy recipe – just blend everything together – and super delicious – I added the cinnamon and ginger that was recommended for extra spice! 

Rogue was a little creeper again… 

*sniff sniff*

Here’s Leela getting a bit of sunshine this morning. While I was taking some pictures of her, she suddenly noticed something interesting outside and did this adorable little stretch of her neck to see better out the window…

Peace. :)
