Out Of Order

This week hasn’t been a very good week. Wednesday, I started to get a migraine, and by Thursday it was still with me. Three days into it, I realized that it was a compound/cluster headache, and I just prayed, and hoped to get through it without the need for a trip to Urgent Care.

Three days out of commission, the house has suffered, the kids are grumpy, and my goodness I have been miserable.

Yesterday afternoon it finally broke, and I was able to cook a meal, and do some laundry. Today I’m going to spend the day on the rest of the stuff that needs done. I’m feeling better, but I really don’t want another one of those cluster headaches to head my way…

May’s Veggie Meals

I made lots of super tasty veggie dishes in May. I tried out a few new dishes, and I made it another month being a happy vegetarian.

I did some experimental Vegan baking. These were pretty tasty, and made a yummy snack.

Pasta with Okra and Tomatoes. So good!

I made a big batch of homemade Macaroni and Cheese with lots of Broccoli.

Here is a yummy vegan dish, Steak Fries, and Roasted Veggies. I had some Zucchini, Tomatoes, Broccoli, and Roasted Corn in this batch. It was so delicious!

We’ve had a few tasty homegrown Strawberries from the front porch.

This is my homemade Veggie-friendly mock rice-a-roni. Rice and Lentils and one delicious sauteed onion.

More Roasted Veggies, this time Broccoli, Cauliflower, Green Beans, and Chickpeas. Hello to a new favorite dinner of mine!

Lastly I made a big batch of baked pasta.

This is a great dish to make to clean out the pantry, and have lunch ready for a few days too.

I’m sticking with my veggie ways through June. I hope to try out a few new dishes too.

May’s Favorite Photos

May flew by way too quickly. The kids enjoyed their last month of school, and I tried to keep up with all of it.

Summer is in full swing, and the weather is finally improving. I hope to have lots of photos to share from the month of June.

Speaking of June… Today is an extra special day in June. It is my Mom’s Birthday! Sending great big birthday hugs, and the happiest of wishes your way Mom! Have an amazing day!
