Then I realized that I couldn't post it because it came from a recipe book! I emailed the publisher to ask for permission to post the recipe here but I didn't hear back from them... until a few days ago. Thankfully, they gave me the go-ahead to share the recipe.

This week feels a little off because of Thanksgiving, but after how busy the last few days have been, it's nice that we still have a whole weekend ahead :)I've spent the last three days going back and forth between the kitchen (cooking) and the bathroom (painting). I finally decided on a paint color and I painted the first coat today. It's VERY drastic--but I love it!

Yes, I'm very thankful for SO many things in my life but the list is the same for a huge number of people: my family, my friends, my health, etc. Of course I am thankful for those things! So I won't include the "given" choices. Instead, here are three things I'm thankful for that I may not think about every day...1.

I finally started priming the bathroom walls today and to prep them, I had to take off everything that was hanging in there, including the mirror. Rather than try to prop it up somehow like I've done before, I just asked Jerry to hold it up, haha.The jeans I'm wearing are a pair that I bought several months ago at Goodwill and I put them in my "to mend/alter" stack of]]> Thu, 24 Nov 2022 05:00:00 +0200 https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/vulcuPcjoOhvvVF9U0BMSZNaYRWadcX6 https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/vulcuPcjoOitScXuUT2j_Qpx5_w21kha The post I'd planned to share today was taking SO LONG that it will have to wait. Instead, I decided to do an "On This Day" post--photos that I've taken on this day (November 22) throughout the years. These posts are always fun to do (or not, depending on how many photos I have) because I never know what I'm going to find. It's a fun trip down memory lane!

I always take pictures of my food when I try new recipes just in case I decide to write about it, so I have a ton of food photos on my phone. I always like to see what other people are eating (is that weird?!) so I figured I'd just post them all here.I do want to mention that the color of some of these makes the]]> Tue, 22 Nov 2022 05:00:00 +0200 https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/vulcuPcjoOhtVdVq0iC0gZONpYks2fGs https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/vulcuPcjoOhO-3TWzyXBmJu9CxXrVx4c Okay, Friends... remember way back when I started this series of vegan recipe reviews, and I said that I wasn't going to use "weird" ingredients or make "weird" vegan food? Well, as the weeks and months have gone on, I've been more and more adventurous. And some of the weird ingredients have become staples in my house!But as far as weird vegan food, I made something last week that I never]]> Mon, 21 Nov 2022 05:00:00 +0200 https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/vulcuPcjoOhO-3TWzyXBmJu9CxXrVx4c https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/vulcuPcjoOj1QECL6YalaVw3HFUzDTIP I'm not going to write a post today; I was tired of working on the bathroom, so I decided to work on the FUN part of the remodel project. I miss woodworking! A while back, I bought a solid oak dining room table on Facebook Marketplace for uber-cheap (I think it was $50?). It's been sitting in the garage, waiting for me to mill the boards, so I worked on that today.

The last couple of days it's been freezing cold and super windy. It's the kind of weather that makes me just want to curl up under an electric blanket and read a good book.Oh!

The biggest example has been my Wednesday Weigh-Ins. While I was losing weight over the past year and a half, I continued my weigh-ins every single week, regardless of whether I'd gained weight or not.

(In the book, it's called Kieran's Favourite Rice.) I found the book, which was printed in 1999, at a thrift store and even though there weren't pictures--I don't like recipes without pictures!--I figured it was worth a look-see for $1.Well, let me tell you... if]]> Sun, 13 Nov 2022 05:00:00 +0200 https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/vulcuPcjoOgsvmejvdjchyuZukmJ4mr4 https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/vulcuPcjoOgNh-Sfx5IFdW7fhEn5oRuR Wasn't it JUST Friday... like yesterday? How did this week go by so fast? Last week, I felt like I had a pitiful amount of photos for the week; but that's nothing compared to today! I stayed very busy all week, especially considering I added in 90 minutes of exercise every day, but I guess I just wasn't thinking of taking pictures.
