Tonight I made quinoa burgers  ❤  Actually, it was some kind of experiment, but since they turned out very well they became our dinner :)

Weekend wrap up

1. I am 99.9% sure I am done shopping for Christmas. I will do some wrapping and labeling today, but..... wait, I mean big items. I am at a loss on what to shove in my husbands stocking. Ideas??????

2. We met a dog this weekend at adoption event that is just perfect. She would just melt into our family. My husband isn’t ready yet to get another, and honestly the house has so much work to be done that having another 4 legs around would be overwhelming. I promised that if she didn’t get rescued, we would rethink it after the holidays. She’s in a foster home, so she isn’t in any danger and is being super loved on (I know the family).

3. I went and helped out my Mom a bit yesterday get ready for their trip to Florida. She isn’t in pain, but super uncomfortable, and not being able to use your dominant hand is really inconvenient. Plus she is a quilter, and that’s out right now, so she is BORED. The kids made her paintings. But I could tell by the end of the visit she was tired. It’s tough to see tour parents struggle.

4. I go in late (or maybe not at all today), and I have mountains of laundry to fold and wash. Plus meal prep for the next week of retail wife abandonment. But I have a cold and I just want to drink tea or coffee and watch bad tv and sleep. Maybe a compromise might occur.

5. I would like to try adding more vegetarian meals into our rotation. Recipe ideas? Must be kid friendly, but they can be adventurous. Proteins? Help!

@hxans replied to your text post  "Carrots, peas, corn, beans, tomatoes (?), parsnip, onion, garlic, seasoning...? Also you're really missing out not eating mushrooms they honestly add so much good flavour to stuff." (Stuff to put in veggie shepherd's pie) Oo maybe low sodium canned tomatoes. And parsnips! I forget about them, but they are delicious. Mushrooms bad. 😝

“If you’re doing a vege soup, don’t forget to add garlic, celery salt, & other herbs for flavour”

Yes! Very important! As much garlic as possible! And herbs and seasoning and such as well. Altho we’re cutting down on the salt too per doctor’s orders.

“Vege lasagna. Leek & mushroom in a garlic/white wine cheese sauce on pasta. STIR FRY. Maybe a vege version of cottage/shepherd’s pie?”

Oo Veggie lasagna sounds good. Or like a veggie goulash bc I’m lazy. Lol We don’t eat mushrooms though. I know. But ew. I am planning stir fry! I bought some things. Maybe I’ll post about it if it turns out well. Shepherd’s pie is an idea. What would I put in it?

@mivelley replied to your text post  "NACHOS WITH NO MEAT" Oooo Black bean burritos! Now that's an idea.

“my mom is attempting literal vegetable soup…. i will update if its a good idea when i try it bc shes just meshed all veggies in the world and put them in a pot XD also veggie burgers made with obvs veggies and also rice are yummy! veggie burgers made of beans are pretty good too!”

Veggie soup sounds good. The best soups are made from throwing everything in the pot. True story. Let me know how your mom’s turns out. It too hot around here right now for soup though. I don’t know if my husband would go for a veggie burger, but thanks for the suggestion.

Hi, btw!
