~ A Beautiful Quiet Little Christmas in 2017 ~

 Let’s start with the night before the 24th and enjoy the Potato-Vegetable Soup … … and then some Oreo Chickpea Brownies which is a recipe I found from “Vegan-twiceasnice“.

~ Sayulita and my Big Fat Rice Bowl ~

Sayulita is a 35 min. taxi ride from Puerta Vallarta…. well, actually we were in Nuevo Vallarta so we were already a little closer to the old surf town… our first time there.

Another gorgeous, hot day in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, and it was time to eat. My mother had never had tacos before, so off we went to check out the Taco Bar. Pretty delicious looking tacos, right!?

~ Saturday Morning Tofu-Vegy Stir-fry ~

I was going to make a Scrambled Tofu, and it turned into a Tofu-Vegy Stir-Fry…. 🙂 It doesn’t really matter does it…. either way, it tasted delicious, scrumptious! Ate that with Bread by Ed, and later, I’ll whip up some rice, and eat the rest with that! 🙂 I cut up an onion, 2 cloves of garlic (would have used more, like 4 or 5, … Continue reading ~ Saturday Morning Tofu-Vegy Stir-fry ~

~ Carrot Cake to a Thanksgiving Potluck! ~

I drove down to Function Junction, Saturday evening, to “quickly” participate in the Vegan Potluck, but didn’t stay long due to the fact that my son wasn’t feeling well. I  made a quick appearance, chatted for a little bit, grabbed some food to take back home with me, and left my Carrot Cake there … I brought home a mixture of somewhat spicy raw vegy … Continue reading ~ Carrot Cake to a Thanksgiving Potluck! ~
