the precarious balancing
of work
obligations
gardening
gardening
birthday celebrations
summer fun...
life.
one constant in all that
fullness...
growling stomachs.
I found this recipe
for eggplant rollini as I was
searching for information
on vegan weight gain
(to be discussed at a later date)
I stumbled onto
Better Than Vegan
and
this dish
with virtually
no fat
was the hearty outcome
here it is
topped with the tomato sauce
i won't lie to you
this was rather time consuming
with multiple stages
so I started the bath early
using the
clean-as-you-go
method
to prevent messy build-up
the up side
it made enough for
about 3-4 meals
*love leftover lunches*
outdoors
still adding to my
garden
as peas and lettuces
make room for
a new addition
parsley...
i'm thinking chimichurri sauce
on grilled pizza
*drooling just thinking about it*
how wonderful life is
when you can
cut your own lettuce
after a soft rain
and call it
dinner
with
a few enhancements
mango
field strawberries
avocado
pepitas
topped with a homemade
vinaigrette
know what else
makes me happy?
taking a gang out for
a birthday lunch
*Happy birthday, dear Joey!
and finding a menu
with offerings
beyond
a side salad
and
minestrone soup
that i can choose from...
thank you, Olga.
with a bare cupboard
and little time
or desire
to go shopping
i looked at that bag of potatoes
and thought
Mediterranean potato salad
"thanks, Heather B"
from 30 Day Vegan
first time I tried it
and it was bumped
to the front of the book
as a go-to
delicious
almost like German potato salad
side
and you're right
it tastes even better the next day!
unfortunately
there was only enough for
me.
:)
Did I mention...
my sweet joe had a birthday?
Happy 19th year...
I'm gonna say it...
has it really been nineteen years?!
Damn that ticking clock.
ahhh
the bittersweet
side of parenting.
I think mom (grandma above) would agree!
One last thing...
Happy 4th of July!
Make some fireworks
and
Enjoy Life...
in all it's crazy busy-ness.
