I am thankful for another long weekend, I feel like I need it after a busy week at work. Having good and fun eats help get through a crazy week like these Omni Classic Fillet Plant-based Fish-Style Fillets I found at Grocery Outlet. I served them proper with fresh lemon and sautéed potatoes and broccoli. […]
New Year and New Eats for the List
Happy New Year! 2024, wow. I am trying to feel a sense of optimism for the year ahead, but struggling with that a bit. This time of year can be gloomy after all the cheer and excitement of the holidays. But we did wrap up 2023 with a fun vegan party at Vegan Fresh 2 […]
Christmas Fun for the List
Wow, Christmas came and went. But I am not complaining, it was fun with family and lots of cooking, but I am enjoying the calm now as we wrap up the year. Gifting in the office is a new thing for me not being something that was done at my last job. I had to […]

Thanksgiving was great and […]

There has also been vegan mac […]

Whew, we just got in from a long weekend in Las Vegas for a little getaway to catch some shows including Tina Fey & Amy Poehler’s Restless Leg Tour and for great vegan eats. The first night there we made it to Crossroads Kitchen and what a great experience that was. It’s not cheap, but […]
