My Blog Name is No Joke

My goodness, we have been so busy lately. Today, Olivia and I accompanied Jackson's school on a field trip to a Christmas tree farm. It was so much fun, but this mama is wiped out! Truly, if the energy of a pack of three-year-olds could somehow be harnessed, we would never be dependent upon foreign oil again. I thought for sure J and O would take nice long naps this afternoon, but actually, twenty minutes in the car on the way home was enough to recharge their tiny batteries.

Some recent eats:

Vegan Brunch Pumpkin Pancakes.  Seen here with Jackson's pinecone turkey.


Appetite for Reduction Lotsa Veggie Lentil Soup.


Peas and Thank You Chewy Energy Bars.


Appetite for Reduction Catalan Couscous Salad with Pears and Romesco Dressing. Like a dummy, I forgot that I don't really like the mealy texture of couscous.  It had been so long since I'd eaten it. Next time I'll make this with a chewier grain like quinoa or bulgur. The dressing is amazing.


Appetite for Reduction Chipotle Lentil Burgers.


So good on a whole grain bagel with spinach, Veganaise, and dill pickles.


Gratuitious cute toddler shot. She will tire soon. I know she will.

  1. Love the little pinecone turkey! The meals all look great, too, especially those energy bars and burgers. I've got to try the burgers and you - you eat all the energy you can ;)

  2. Any time I am certain that my toddler will sleep well she ends up on some sort of an anti-sleep jag. Insanity! Those lentil burgers looked great...it all did.
