Tasty Tidbits

Why is she getting so big???

She blends right in with our blanket. I love when she comes over when we're sitting down & wants to curl up with us. So sweet! 

On Sunday, Mom & I made homemade spaghetti. W & I are going to try making linguini this weekend. It seriously tastes SO much better than the store bought stuff. Loads of flavor & chew!

Dad was feeling pretty pleased with dinner. :-)

I'm looking forward to a weekend at home with W. This is his only weekend off all month, so we're happy to be spending it together doing projects around the house. What are you planning for this pre-Thanksgiving weekend?

Here's what we've been eating in the last week:

Breakfasts

• Strawberry Banana Green Smoothies
• Tropical Granola
• Angela's Vegan & Gluten-Free Vanilla Buckwheat Pancakes - These were a nice, basic pancake that would be perfect for adding berries, coconut, choc chips, etc. They weren't too sweet, so they were great for topping. Great consistancy!
• Cinnamon bagels with almond butter
• Summer's Peanut Butter Baked Oatmeal
• Stovetop oatmeal with chopped apples
• Bananas + pb

Lunches

• Sandwiches
• Leftovers
• Jessica's Caramelized Butternut, Roasted Garlic + Coconut Butter Grilled Cheese - I did vary this a little due to what I had on hand, but the flavors were all the same. And it was super delicious!!
