This weekend has been pretty great. It’s not too often that John gets a Friday AND a Sunday off, so we got some much needed family time in.
Judah & I recently took a trip up to South Carolina to visit family. We had such a great time seeing everyone (some of which I hadn’t seen since my wedding)! It was his very first flight which was equally exciting & terrifying!
The other day, a family member (and mom of two boys) told me that she now knows why they say boys are made of “snakes and snails and puppy dog tails”. I always saw myself as the mom of boys. I grew up around them, wore their clothes and liked their games. Don’t get me wrong, I like pretty things, but I’m not too girly & like to get my hands dirty.
I have been thinking about donuts and tropical flavors a lot lately. I’m not sure why (no, I’m not pregnant), but I have found a way to get rid of the craving…by giving in…
John is always (half-jokingly) telling me I have a brown thumb. In all honesty, he isn’t lying. I have a history of unintentionally heading up plant massacres. The first part to getting better is admitting the problem, right?
Gluten-free + vegan can seem difficult sometimes when you’re looking for a hearty meal with no processed goods. However, I’m over at Studio M today sharing my newest recipe for a “full meal” gluten-free, vegan Squash Lasagna that knocked the socks off of even my non-squash fan of a husband! It’s super simple too!
We are kind of cookie connoisseurs around here. And as I stated in a previous post, it’s HARD to find pre-made vegan cookies that we love. I don’t know why, but the home baked version seems to trump them every time.
Recently a new South Florida based company called Om Nom Nom contacted us about sharing their goods. I’m not going to lie. I secretly despise the use of the term “om nom nom” when it comes to food. However, I was blown away by this vegan bakery as soon as I opened the box…Each cookie was nearly the size of my hand and individually wrapped in packaging that is to DIE for! They make the name “Om Nom Nom” LOOK awesome.
This afternoon I saw a quote on my crazy inspirational fellow blogger friend, Rachel’s, facebook that said: “Instead of wondering when your next vacation is, maybe you should set up a life you don’t need to escape from.” For the first time in a while, I’ve felt like God (or whomever/whatever you choose to believe in) was telling me I’m moving in the right direction.
New York is home to some of my all time favorite vegan restaurants. The fact that they don’t deliver to Florida can be a bit sad sometimes (especially when I was planning my vegan wedding). However, this all changed for me this week. High Hopes Vegan Bakery has some of the best treats (in general, not just “good-for-being-vegan”) I’ve ever had, and best of all – they ship their goodies to you!
We’ve been MIA for a couple of weeks, but we are back with a fun little recipe! Head over to Studio M to learn how to make these super simple vegan animal cracker truffles! They are oh so fun and delicious!
