#veganmofo week plan September 15

Oh, thank goodness it is fall-like weather this week. I just can't eat soups and such when it's warm out. This chilly weather has me craving CHILLI, which I will make a big pot of on Monday and likely reheat for lunches all week.

I guess I am on a Sarah Kramer (#govegandotnet) kick this week, three recipes are hers.

Sunday:

Rest day

Late afternoon baked potatoes

Baseball game in the evening

Monday:

Run 3 miles

Cross train class at noon

Dinner is chilli and cornbread muffins. Will likely crock pot this.

Tuesday:

Run 2 miles

Gym/yoga class with Mia

Dinner is ginger seitan.

Wednesday:

Run 4 miles

Cross train class at noon

Dinner is black bean and sweet potato burritos.

Thursday:

Run 2 miles

Gym with Mia

Choir rehearsal, so dinner on the go is tempeh "chikn" salad. Last week I didn't eat prior to rehearsal, and my belly was GRUMBLING!

We are headed up to Ocean City next weekend, so I will do my long run Saturday. 7 miles on the boardwalk! It looks like it will warm up by the weekend. A new vegan restaurant, My Nature, opened up there this past spring, which I am anxious to try.

Currently reading Full Dark No Stars by Stephen King, and The Likeness by Tana French.

How did mothers ever express their love before selfies?

18 years ago, tomorrow, I gave birth to my incredible daughter, Mia.

I have so much to be thankful for, but most of all, I am really fortunate that she is in my life. Not only is she a beautiful young woman, but she is also wicked smart, friendly, confident, talented, and kind.

We always find fun and laughter!

Happy birthday, my girl.

#veganmofo dinner: baked potato, quiche, broccoli & corn

Something about going back to school makes me crave comfort fall foods. Here, I topped my baked potato with spinach tofu quiche, broccoli, and a sprinkle of daiya mozzarella vegan cheese. 

The recipe for the quiche is simple, and can be found at http://happyherbivore.com/2010/03/vegan-quiche-greens/

A side of corn on the cob nods to summer, this frsh, sweet stuff won't be around much longer!

Pictures

There's something about loving where you live.

I just love our yard, and each season, find beautiful things in it.  The previous owners kept the landscaping meticulously, but I love things that grow naturally.

These pictures are from the front yard of our house.
