Not sure I’m ready for the weekend to end, it’s been mostly relaxing inside thanks to wild rainy and windy weather. The clouds between the storms have been gorgeous while Miko fully preferred snuggling inside where it’s dry.
Both the pups have been happy to enjoy warm blankets and the fireplace lately, isn’t Leela adorable in her bed by the Christmas tree?
It was a busy work week and I have been loving simple eats at home with leftovers for even simpler work lunches – Trader Joe’s lentil and brown rice pasta with marinara sauce, textured vegetable protein, and kale made a few simple meals for hubby and I. Also simple stir fries and salad.
I whipped up a simple carrot and potato saute with tempeh and kale that came out delicious.
We stepped out for spicy Thai vegan tofu dishes Friday night and I tried this simple Vegetable White Bean Hash recipe last night from Forks Over Knives using kidney beans in place of the white beans and potato in place of the turnip and it came out delicious.
There was also a deal hunting trip to Grocery Outlet where hubby spotted a new plant-based burger tucked in with the meat – Pure Farmland Plant-Based Burger Patties.
He cooked one up for a loaded burger with vegan cheese.
And was very impressed with it, says it tastes a lot like a Beyond Burger and would get again. Always nice to see more plant based burger options!
Now I need to finish the laundry and get ready for the week. Hopefully the list will be positive motivation for the week.

Windy and rainy here too, but I bet a lot colder! Your dogs are too cute snuggling up next to the tree. My dog has had to wear a sweater for the past 2 months now! And it’s a Christmas sweater. I can’t believe how many people have approached me telling me it’s too soon for a Christmas sweater, LOL! So I finally washed his purple one and switched it!
Haha, mine would never wear a sweater – I’ve tried! I wish he would, it would be so cute. And no way it’s too soon!
I like your perspective on the recent weather we’ve been having… I’ve just found it so oppressively gloomy!
So envious of your GO finds. I’m dying to try that one too, and I was just in the Oakland store where they definitely didn’t have it.
It can be gloomy too, but at least we’re getting breaks with sunshine for a few days. :-)
Yes on GO, we have been having a lot of luck at our location lately, it seems to come and go.
I’m so excited by all of the vegan interiors, too. My next car will only be vegan! :)
The specs for my current EV said it was “eco-leather” and I had to do a little digging to confirm it was vegan leather made from recycled materials, lol.
