Stupid Anxiety is Stupid

I woke up with a headache today, and this afternoon it has decided to magically turn itself into a migraine. I haven’t had a migraine in a good two months, and I’m grumpy about it…

I also needed to fill a prescription for my anxiety medication. I decide to use the online service that you are supposed to use because it is faster than calling. My prescription gets denied, due to needing to schedule an appointment to refill the prescription. I reply to the email to schedule an appointment to refill the prescription, and they reply back, what is the nature of this appointment?!? I am truly annoyed… I hate it when you need anxiety medicine to schedule your appointment for anxiety medication.

With the holidays approaching, I’m a perfect blend of uncontrollable boundless energy, or a puddle of exhaustion that sleeping around the clock isn’t fixing… I am seriously annoyed with my brain at the moment.

Thinking of Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving will be here in just a short little bit. Thanksgiving is also one of my very favorite holidays, I don’t like to shop, but I do like to cook.

I wrote up a little menu to get some ideas rolling around in my noggin…

  • Turkey
  • Ham
  • Stuffing
  • Dinner Rolls
  • Green Bean Casserole
  • Chicken Noodles
  • Mashed Potatoes
  • Gravy

V: Scalloped Potatoes

V: Kale or Collard Greens

V: Vegan Loaf

and then the desserts…

  • Pumpkin Pie (2)
  • Cherry Pie
  • Apple Pie

Just seeing a menu coming together makes me want to prep the kitchen for all of the cooking!

October’s Veggie Meals

Well I’ve ventured back into the world of vegetarianism. I made it a good nine months, strictly vegan, and then I broke down and ate Pizza Hut… I was a little disappointed with myself, I seriously have no will power, but then I decided that maybe I could still eat vegan, but vegetarian here and there.

So I’m back in the kitchen, getting dishes back in order, and I’ve got a few photos to share.

I made this magically amazingly delicious (from scratch) vegan soup. I ended up making a few batches of it throughout the month. It’s a kale with potato, and plenty of nutritional yeast super yummy soup that was so good I even had it for breakfast.

I’ve been running into some pretty fantastic veggie sales at my favorite store. Kale and Mushrooms were on sale, and I added them to some Quinoa. It was really delicious.

I also made a batch of Kale and Mushroom Rice. This dish has become one of my very favorite things to cook, and to eat.

If you have any leftover Kale and Mushroom Rice you can add it to some veggie stock and make a delicious soup for an extra cold day.

Cold Days and leftover veggies in the fridge call for Vegan Veggie Soup.

I made a big batch of Mushroom Lo Mien. It was so very good.

I picked up some Tofurkey Sausage and threw it in some pasta. I wasn’t too much a fan of this one.

Tofu Scramble is always a favorite of mine.

I made another batch of the magical Kale and Potato Soup. This has become one of my very favorite vegan dishes. It is just delicious.
