Thomas and Camilla January 2021 Date Day

January 23 2021

Yesterday was the January 2021 Thomas and Camilla Date Day

Lunch from House of Mexica (all Vegan menu)

Jungle Tamale and Mexica fries for me. BBQ Mac hamburger and fries for Thomas. Horchata for both of us to rinse it all down.

We had a car picnic with a lovely view at Aubrey Harris park, and then went for a walk at Virginia Foothills park. ❤️❤️❤️

Vegan Eats: Pfeffernüsse With Dutch Apple Pie and a Midtown Quesadilla

December 9 2020

Pfeffernüsse … I may have accidentally eaten three of these right after they were cooled enough for the powdered sugar. Been saving the chocolate “milk” for a special treat. 😋😋😋

December 24 2020

I’m so excited! I ordered a vegan Dutch apple pie from Great Full Gardens South Meadows Reno. Since I had to go there anyway, I ordered lunch for me and Thomas. I’ve never had the midtown quesadilla. It was delicious! I cannot wait to dig into this amazing looking pie, with a side of coconut bliss Madagascan vanilla bean “ice cream”. Yum!! 🤍😋😋😋🤍

December 25 2020

For breakfast? Yes, I did! ❤️🎄🎄😋🎄🎄💚

Vegan Eats: Gazpacho With a Lit Virgin Bloody Mary

August 27 2020

Homemade gazpacho. That was good!

October 10 2020

My virgin Bloody Mary is lit! 🔥😂 It’s been since last December or January since we’ve been to visit The Romano Duo. Frank always makes me one of these when we visit. I finally got tired of waiting until we can visit again, so I made my own. 😋 Plus, we just got these cool Halloween lights today! Now to figure out where to use them!

Vegan Eats: Who Remembers Funyuns and Coconut Jerky

July 20 2020

Who remembers Funyuns? They were one of my favorite junk foods growing up. To me, these Vegan Rob’s Brussel Sprout Puffs taste like Funyuns. It absolutely doesn’t taste like Brussels sprout. Ha! I like all of the flavors, but this one is my favorite. Bonus: I like the ingredients, too!

When you post about one of your vegan finds and a friend mails you bunches of said find! Plus, some yummy CBD tea. Thanks, Kimberly!!

S’mores with Crispy Crunchy Okra and Some Other Stuff

July 14 2020

S’mores!

July 16 2020

I felt like having this for lunch today. So, I did. Ha! Crispy crunchy okra, Miyoko’s cultured farmhouse “cheddar”, tomatoes with Himalayan pink salt and pepper, kalamata olives, marinated artichoke quarters, pugliese artisan bread with milkadamia buttery spread, sweet cherries, truffle Marcona almonds, and sweet & spicy pecans …. Can you tell I had just gotten back from grocery shopping? This was incredibly satisfying.

S’mores With Comfort Food

July 5 2020

It was a s’mores kinda afternoon. So good. What a delicious treat.

July 10 2020

This afternoon called for comfort food. Totally tomato soup courtesy of Great Full Gardens South Meadows Reno. Grilled cheese made by me, with Ciabatta and Violife smoked provolone slices. Then a nice rest on the couch. Ahhhhh …

Mac n Cheese and Coconut Jerky With Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms and Peruvian Mocha Crunch

June 29 2020

Homemade macaroni & “cheese”, with sautéed crimini mushrooms, topped with shredded Daiya.

July 1 2020

Another delicious find to share with you. This stuff is so good, I accidentally ate nearly the entire bag at once. Made using the green coconut meat left over from coconuts used for packaging coconut water. Perfect!

July 2 2020

This was so pretty, I had to take a photo. Food art!! Courtesy of Great Full Gardens = Stuffed portobello mushroom, with a side of their refried beans, topped with cashew cheese. All I did was add a small salad.

July 4 2020

Another of my favorites. Coconut Bliss Peruvian Mocha Crunch. So, so good.

Vegan Eats: Cocomels With Panang Curry Alongside Maters and Beans

June 22 2020

Another delicious find to share with you … Perfect!

June 23 2020

I made panang curry for myself last night. Took me a while to find a vegan panang curry paste. It’s really good! However, there’s something missing. Doesn’t have any heat to it. Had to buy a package of 6, so I’ve got plenty to experiment with.

June 27 2020

My kind of breakfast. So much satisfying. When I have fresh, good-tasting tomatoes (or maters, as my mammaw called them), I’ll have those instead of fresh fruit. Deeply pleasing.
