November’s Veggie Meals

Well, here comes the honesty, I haven’t been a very good vegan lately… But I’m getting back on track, and my stomach is thanking me for it.

I have a bunch of photos to share from my kitchen in November.

I made some amazing vegan Chow Mien. Seriously this was every bit as good as take-out.

Quinoa Bowls are always an easy go-to lunch or dinner.

Agnes has joined the ranks of the lactose intolerant, so I’ve been making special recipes just for her. I made an amazing batch of Pizza Rolls with Chao Cheese. Tasty, and no tummy issues.

Veggie Scramble with Kimchi and Mushrooms, and a side of Vegan Pizza Rolls.

Magic Vegan Soup with Chao Cheese Quesdaillas. This was a tasty dinner.

Vegan mac and cheeze!!!!

I’ve been on a Kimchi kick. I’ve been eating it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Right before Thanksgiving, I got really sick… I came down with a horrible migraine. Day one of the migraine, Agnes asked for a batch of Vegan Sushi rolls. Of course, I said yes.

So for a good four days straight I had a terrible migraine/compound headache/cluster headache that would not go away no matter what I tried. It was miserable, I was miserable, I even burned the toast…

Once I finally had an appetite back I was craving SNACKS!!!! I veganized  a batch of Ranch Crackers & Pretzels. This hit the spot, I’ve made it a few more times too.

I made another batch of vegan lo mien with plenty of kimchi. Yum!!!

This meal is one of my very favorites. It’s Edamame and Tangerine Tea, simple and perfect.

I got sneaky and served Kale & Quinoa to the family. James and Thade were not a fan of it at all. Agnes and Dylan asked for seconds. I side with Dylan and Agnes, Kale & Quinoa is perfection.

Favorite Photos from November

November was an extra long month, but it seemed to go by quickly.

We got out and voted!

Miss Jinx has been on snow watch.

Agnes helped out with the Chocolate Pies, she had a lot of fun helping in the kitchen.

Agnes also got a little buddy for doing a few good deeds.

Jinx has been napping around the clock. She was actually snoring when I took this photo.

November Crafts

I haven’t been crafting too much, but I’m trying to catch up on ongoing projects.

I still need to finish the blanket for my nephew before Christmas.

Jinx has been enjoying all of the cozy blankets on these extra chilly days.

I’m gathering up the scraps and crocheting granny-squares here and there.

A Quick Check In…

Over a week ago a terrible panic attack left me with a four day migraine. I’ve been sick, really sick, and it sucks. I wasn’t able to host Thanksgiving, and I think I made everyone mad in the process, and I feel bad about it. Mental illness sucks, and it wrecks everything, and I’m not o.k. right now…

Last Wednesday I went to the doctor to adjust my meds, and follow up with another check-up in March, with a possible re-diagnosis. It sucks, and I felt like a failure, six years, and I’m still not well…

I’m getting adjusted to the higher dose of medication, and trying to figure out what I can do to eliminate stress in my life. I have to get better…
