Cool Kansas Morning
Favorite Vegan Meals from September: part 2
I have a few more dishes to share. I tried out a few new recipes from scratch, and used a lot of fresh tomatoes from our garden.
I made Black Bean and Quinoa veggie burgers completely from scratch. It kinda freaked me out when they were cooking, because they looked way too much like regular patties, but I assure you, only veggies went into these bad boys. They were really delicious too, and my freezer is stocked with them. Also, they are insanely inexpensive to make.
Our tomato plants just wouldn’t stop. We are still picking tomatoes even though we are well into October. I guess they like their spot in the garden.
Those homegrown goodies are so delicious on vegan nachos.
I found some vegan Lo Mien Noodles at the store, so I had to give them a try. I made a big batch of Veggie Le Mien with Kale and Mushrooms.
I added veggie broth to the leftover Lo Mien and made some incredible soup.
I sauteed Kale and Tomatoes for an amazing breakfast! Seriously, this was way too good.
Finally it is soup weather, I made the best batch of Potato and Broccoli Soup.
Vegan Meals: Favorites from September part 1
I’ve got a bunch of photos to post from my kitchen, but I’m only posting my favorites and new recipes that I’ve tried out.
I made some amazing baked Tofu.
I veganized some amazing French Onion Soup, I topped off some toast with vegan cheese.
I also made some vegan croutons!
I made some amazing Mushroom Rice.
Homemade Ranch Tofu dip, this was incredible.
These vegan garlic knots were just amazing.
I also made some incredible homemade marinara sauce from our homegrown tomatoes.
I used some of it on some amazing homemade vegan pizza.
Crafts from September
I really don’t have any big projects going on right now, or even any little ones. I’m knitting and crocheting a little here and there.
I have these little knitting patches stashed all over the house. I’m working on a knitted patchwork blanket, that requires a bunch of odd squares and rectangles.
I stitch them together when I get a pretty good stash finished.
Jinx has really started to appreciate all of the crocheted items strewn around the house. The weather is a little cold here and there, and she isn’t a fan. You’ll often find here hiding under a big pile of handmade blankets to stay warm.
I’ve been adding rows to the little blankets that my kids have outgrown. Holy moly my kids really took off over Summer, it seems like all three of them are all legs right now. It’s a quick, stash busting project that I can pick up whenever, and put down when it’s time to make dinner.
Around The Garden: September
The weather is cool in the morning, and hot in the afternoon. How I wish Autumn would just make up it’s mind, and stay cool. We are wrapping up the Summer gardening season, and I have a few photos to share from our neck of the woods.
I love the wild honeysuckle that is finally growing in the backyard. Honeysuckle is one of my favorite flowers.
The kids picked the last of the tomatoes from our overgrown vines.
The tomatoes have grown up over the fence, and even through the fence. We have had an amazing crop of tomatoes this year.
The weather finally cooled off for just a bit, and we were outdoors in the evening. The kids would play in the yard, and I spent some time relaxing on the back porch.
A very curious grasshopper paid me a visit.
I also had a little chickadee come by and perch on the porch. I think this has to be one of Cupcake and Biscuits grown chicks, it was so cute, and very tame.
My mom surprised me with a visit and beautiful orange Mums for the front yard.
We had some rain, and then the tomatoes surprised us with another crop that needed picked.
Agnes and I picked tomatoes for a good twenty minutes. She was so proud of her tomato plants.
They were a beautiful batch of tomatoes indeed.
Hello Luna… Saturday mornings have started way too early over here. I take Thade to school for debate tournaments, and we have to be there around 6:15 a.m., I miss catching just another hour or two of sleep on the weekends.
