Fill Me Up, Buttercup!

Hey Everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Lots of stuff going on over here! One month from today is my due date and I will be full term a week from Friday! YIPPY! I have a feeling she is going to come before her due date, mostly because every time I read about "What to expect during this week" I am always ahead of what they say. Plus, she has been in the down position for sometime and dropped a few weeks ago. So we will see!


On Saturday night, T and I went to dinner at our favorite Italian restaurant in town. I ordered whole wheat pasta with portabella mushrooms, tomatoes, asparagus, eggplant and basil. This was so good!!!! I just love this dish! I also had a small side salad that I didn't take a pic of. Although this place does have raw/vegan desserts, we passed because we were so stuffed! The baby is taking up a lot of room now which means I gt full a lot quicker!

On Sunday, we went to the Farmers Market and hit up my favorite vegan baked goods stand (AGAIN!). This time I got an apple nut bread. So delicious and only pure wholesome ingredients. I rarely enjoy baked goods because I don't like to bake, so this is always a special treat.

For dinner Sunday night, I recreated the sandwich I mentioned here. It turned out quite well! I marinated tempeh with maple syrup and honey mustard then let it brown in Safflower oil. When that was done I added some onions and kale to the pan while the heat was off and let them wilt. I toasted some spelt bread and smeared some organic Veganaise on it along with sliced tomato. Yummmy!

Yesterday, T was working outside in the garage so Ginger and I pulled up a chair to keep him company. I noticed this gorgeous tree in my yard.

And of course, a Ginger picture!

That was right before she jumped on my lap (which doesn't have much room these days!).  Look at that face. Priceless.

For dinner last night I made Gena's Field Roast meal. This time I made it right! :) Except, I used pinto beans instead of kidney. T said "This is the best meal you've made in awhile!" To which I replied "It's a Gena original!" Then he said "I knew I liked her!" HA HA!

After dinner we went to Trader Joes. I am stocking up on goodies like nuts and dried fruit for after the baby is born (I'll do a post on my little "stock" in the future). But I wanted to spotlight something I've been using for awhile that T and I love: 21 Seasoning Salute!!!! We are obsessed! I put this on everything, it's so good! It has onion, black pepper, celery seed, cayenne pepper, parsley, basil, marjoram, bay leaf, oregano, thyme, rosemary, cumin, mustard, coriander, garlic, carrot, orange peel, tomato granules, savory, lemon juice powder, and oil of lemon! Phew, that's a lot of spice! Everything you need in one place! Have you had it? Let me know if you try it! I love it on my kale salads!

Have a great day all!
