We spent the holiday break traveling, a road trip. The plan was to surprise my husband’s family on Christmas Eve. And, that we did. They said, best Christmas present ever. It was a long trip, two days down, three days back, three days on the way back because we decided to rest an extra day. Continue reading “Happy New Year!”

Eat Your Fruits and Veggies
Last night Chris picked blackberries which we had for breakfast. This morning I picked some kale and lettuce adding zucchini, cucumbers and potatoes from the garden. My goal is for us to eat this today. I’m thinking salad and a veggie casserole.
Eating in Asheville
We love the flavor of Asheville, North Carolina, – mostly their mountains, shops and vegetarian/vegan restaurants. It was our anniversary destination and on route to seeing our family, mainly our grandson. Upon arriving in Asheville, one of the first things we did after settling into our hotel was to go to Laughing Seed Cafe. ItContinue reading “Eating in Asheville”
Hodgepodge
Today it must be yard work. I woke up feeling yard work calling….exterior decorating. While in meditation this morning the term interior decorating came to mind. The yard had become a jungle while we were gone. So, the first task was to mow, after a day of rest from the trip. I so love spendingContinue reading “Hodgepodge”
Yeah! It’s Friday
Today an old memory hit me. I used to clean the house on Friday. It was date night, when Chris drove the 2 1/2 hour drive to see me. Our eleventh wedding anniversary is coming up. He just made reservations for Asheville, NC. We love Asheville. There is history, nice shops, great vegetarian restaurants,Continue reading “Yeah! It’s Friday”

Vegan Fifteen Minute Woking
I do a lot of stir fry. It’s simple and I love using my wok which I’ve probably had for thirty years. It’s also something that is quick, and sometimes I wait until about fifteen minutes before my husband comes home to start dinner preparation. I’m usually waiting until the last minute to start dinnerContinue reading “Vegan Fifteen Minute Woking”
Vegan Hot Dogs
I still remember the taste of hot dogs. I grew up with them, loaded with sauce and cole slaw. Well, actually cole slaw on hot dogs didn’t come until much later. So, I wanted to re-invent it vegan style, right down to the sauce. I finally came up with something, which my husband agrees asContinue reading “Vegan Hot Dogs”
Vegan Rice, Sausage, Onions & Kidney Beans
The other night it dawned on me that I was the queen of one dish meals. I may use a couple or more burners to cook the meals, but they end up somehow in the same serving platter. The one pictured was simple – rice of your choice (This was a mixed rice with variousContinue reading “Vegan Rice, Sausage, Onions & Kidney Beans”
