Punkins!

 Happy Halloween!!  I really don't like this holiday... at all.  But I like carving pumpkins!  Here are my two.  First up- Mickey!

Isn't he cute!  All was going well, went on to pumpkin #2 to carve Minnie.... but then I bent my carving knife! The skin was so tough that I couldn't cut through it!  Soo.... I resorted to painting instead.

Kinda.... evil looking.  HAHA it wasn't intentional.  

I gotta tell you, the kids that work for me are great.  Look what one of them made for me out of play dough!

GHOST MICKEY!!!   Too fun.

Have a good Halloween!  Don't eat too much candy!  (actually.... don't eat any candy.  death.  gross death.)

Apple Chaider

Thank you Kevin and Annmarie Gianni for this recipe!  IT WAS AWESOME!  I used a little modification, but it turned out GREAT!!  Here is my modification of the original (original is the title link below).

Apple Chai-der

My recipe serves 1

1 Apple
2 Chai Tea Bags


Boil the chai tea bags in 1 cup of water over medium heat for 10 minutes
















In a food processor, chop up/blend an apple with the chai tea

Strain the liquid through a strainer or nut bag

SO SO SO GOOD!!!   What a yummy fall drink!!!!

Disney World!

So it's been a million years since I have updated.  Ok, maybe not that long, but it seems like it!  Brenton and I went to Disney World, first time ever as vegetarians.  Here's what we got as groceries-

1 Loaf of Bread
Peanut Butter
Jelly
Apples
Bananas
Oranges
Mixed Nuts
Oatmeal
Raisins
Flax Crackers
Water
Clif Bars
Kashi Cereal
Kashi Granola Bars
Cinnamon
**then we brought Amazing Grass Chocolate Powder, Chia Seeds, and supplements from home**
Ah travel food...

Each morning we had a Breakfast Cookie, and packed PB and J sandwiches, fruit, nuts, and water to take to the parks.  It kept us going for a good long time!!

Of course, Brenton wanted to have some treats while we were there.  It took me a while to warm up to that idea, but I caved.  We're not at WDW every day (though I wish I was!!!), and we certainly don't eat junky stuff at home, so "why not" right?

Sanaa- Veggie Sampler, Spread Sampler, and a free Anniversary Dessert!

ESPN Club-  Brenton's Nachos.... my Veggie Sandwich

Kouzzina by Cat Cora-  Bread, Spread Sampler, Orzo and Veggies

Divvies!!!!!

Pear Tart and Waters

Wolfgang Puck Express-  Brenton's Veggie Pizza, my Roasted Beet Salad

Norway- Cloudberry Horn and School Bread

Les Chefs de France-- Bread, Salad, Veggie Lasagna

Tangarine Cave- Veggie Platter

We had NO problem being veggies at Disney!  Everyone was so accommodating!  We even met with a couple of chefs to discuss our preferences.  If you have food allergies, Disney is the place to go!  You'll have no problem!
