People around the world … caring, sharing, just doing our thing!
So another thing I found at Bargain Hunt was this McCormick Tasty-branded Savory Spice Mix. It's got typical Italian flavors like basil, tomato and oregano. On the back it had a recipe for Chicken Bruschetta Pasta so I used it for inspiration. The recipe said to saute a small chopped onion and one pound of... Continue Reading →
Today my Lindt Oatmilk Chocolate bar arrived from Target. Target has a minimum $35 for online orders policy so I decided it was worth it to load my cart up with all that in chocolate. Personally, I like to have a small piece of chocolate for dinner every night and I usually get a little... Continue Reading →
I give that award to Misfits! I hate doing it because I have enjoyed their protein bars and have found them to be a great balance of protein and taste. But their powder...why?!?! Who tried that and was like, "Yeah, this is great!" because no, it's not. It reminds me of the low-carb Slimfast shakes... Continue Reading →
My husband enjoyed the “accidentally vegan” Betty Crocker butter pecan cake mix cupcakes that I made with canned pumpkin and chocolate chips (no other ingredients) a couple weeks ago, so I decided to make something like that again. This time, I made a vegan cake mix variation for Valentine’s with applesauce, water, and just egg... Continue Reading →
I forgot another Aldi find we got the other day, and that's the L'Oven Fresh skinny bagels. I picked up the everything style. On the weekend, I like to make a savory breakfast to take a break from the weekday smoothies. So on Sunday morning, I fried super extra firm tofu slices seasoned with black... Continue Reading →

For dinner tonight, I think I'll make burritos with brown rice, vegetarian refried beans, and these. It helps me make a high... Continue Reading →
We did a lot of shopping this weekend! The weather was rainy and cold so getting out to a park or something wasn't doable. But we GOTTA get the kid out of the house. He has to go bye-bye on the weekend. We tend to go to places that aren't crowded, like Big Lots, Grocery... Continue Reading →
Vegan leftovers mishmash! Plus, some cautionary words about the tendency to assume that things should be easy for other people. Often times, things feel easy for us because of our own advantages in life or because we have had plenty of practice. This is where we get the disconnect, of not understanding why other people are not doing certain “helpful” things. If you run a 3-mile race, and it feels easy because you are used to running 10-mile races or marathons, that doesn’t change the fact that it is actually a very difficult thing. Most people cannot run 3 miles without stopping, and yet, you can do it effortlessly. It’s an important perspective to keep in mind.
