1-24-23 Enjoying life

January 24, 2023

This past weekend was a really good one. Shari’s mom, Patty, was in town Friday and Saturday so we met up with her and took her to the Clyfford Still Museum. I know that place isn’t for everyone (there’s many pieces that aren’t my style either) but you can get free tickets via the library … More 1-24-23 Enjoying life

Food Friday: Freya’s Vegan Milk Bread

October 21, 2022

The original recipe is by Freya, a contestant on The Great British Bake Off. This recipe makes two loaves, so if you only want one, halve it. I like to make one loaf a regular loaf and one a cinnamon sugar loaf. You do need a food scale for this and remember that bread takes … More Food Friday: Freya’s Vegan Milk Bread

Food Friday: Pancakes

July 22, 2022

Sometimes, you don’t want to eat oatmeal for breakfast every day. Sometimes, you want to eat breakfast for dinner. And sometimes, you want pancakes. In that case, the recipe below, found in the Fuss Free Vegan cookbook, is the perfect recipe. I mix the wet ingredients first to allow the milk and lemon to interact … More Food Friday: Pancakes

Food Friday: Tofu Satay

July 1, 2022

This recipe comes from the Speedy Bosh! cookbook. Now, I’m not a big peanut sauce fan so I only make this dish once a year or so. But if you do enjoy peanut sauce and tofu, this dish is for you. Ingredients Tofu 1 package of extra firm tofu (10-14 oz), pressed 1 TB lime … More Food Friday: Tofu Satay

Food Friday: No Bake Pecan Chocolates

June 24, 2022

Original recipe can be found in the Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar cook book. I increased the amount of pecans and I keep them in large chunks. Thus far I’ve only been able to find brown rice syrup through Amazon so if someone discovers that King Soopers sells the stuff, let me know. This … More Food Friday: No Bake Pecan Chocolates

Food Friday: Cinnamon Rolls

June 17, 2022

My mom found this recipe (shout out to her for always being on the lookout for a new, awesome vegan recipe!) and while the original recipe says it only takes 1 hour, let me tell you, it takes at least 1 1/2 hours. Anything that involves a dough usually does, if not longer. And that’s … More Food Friday: Cinnamon Rolls

@shurri88 and I wandered Windsor Gardens looking at Christmas lights the other day. Want to see some lights but not sure where to go? That retirement community knows how to bring it, #goals. One building was even showing Rudolph, the movie. Does our selfie look a little evil? Wasn't intentional, lol, but maybe it's revealing our hidden selves? Had to include my Christmas selfie with Pippin too. Hope everyone is having a great holiday season! Happy Christmas Eve.
