I made a vegan quiche today: vegan meat crumbles at bottom with #justinc egg, onions, spinach, vegan mozzarella, mushrooms, and spices in a pie shell.
Dear Ruth, I Jumped Off the Pedestal Because of You
Lots of labor for Peter and I on this lovely Labor Day. We are harvesting what we could from the garden before the snow hits tomorrow. We decided to harvest some and cover the rest. Here is some of what we have. We will be freezing lots of it today. Anyone want any sunflowers?! I've never had so many beautiful sunflowers in my house at once!
We treated ourselves to a big breakfast this morning because... Why not?! Fruit salad, hash browns, pancakes, #JustEgg, #LightLifeBacon, and coffee from #OwlsNest in Franktown. #allveganeverything, #allcrueltyfree
Today's harvest. Happy Sat to everyone!
I was craving Mexican stew today! #allveganeverything
