Comfort Food

Roxy
Isn't it sooooo adorable when cats sleep like this? I just want to hug her so hard! I sometimes wonder if they ever walk by me when I'm sleeping, and think how cute I am. Somehow I doubt it. I needed this cuteness. The events from this past weekend have continued to make my heart heavy. I saw an article yesterday speaking of the insane amount of assault rifles gun shops are selling. One store in PA said they were selling fifteen an hour. That is absolutely what we need, more assault rifles in this world. Anyway, I won't reveal my deepest feelings, don't want to be a downer.
Last night for dinner I wanted to attempt the rice paper bacon, but I just wasn't up to the challenge. Plus, I have a feeling there is a high chance of a huge kitchen fail, so I though it best to save that for another day. So, I kept it simple with some vegan pierogis sauteed in coconut oil, with garlic and nutritional yeast. I love pierogis sooooo much! I saw Lauren Toyota make vegan pierogis from scratch, and it looked kind of easy so I might try that some day. They looked easier than the rice paper bacon to be honest with you!! If you've never watched Lauren Toyota, she's really great. She and I are friends in my head. And she and her boyfriend make some DELICIOUS looking recipes! And they don't use a lot of super expensive, or hard to find foods either. She's actually really inspiring because a lot of times she just pulls out random ingredients from her fridge and kind of creates as she goes. I guess it speaks to me because that's how I am in the kitchen. Anyway, she's is adorable, as is her boyfriend, and they have a sweet kitty, Snickles and they make great food, so check them out!
Pure comfort

I hope everyone is doing well, and feeling loved. Happy Wednesday.

  1. I'm so with you, I just can't even with the people that think more guns are the answer. But like you, I won't get into it here. I totally understand your desire for some comfort food and vegan pierogis sound pretty amazing right about now! I really like Lauren Toyota too. I find her what I eat in a day videos to be the most realistic and relatable and the food always looks AMAZING. The Hot for Food recipes always look great as well. Her smoothie series has been great, I'm definitely making that banana coconut one!

    Thanks for the kitty love, too cute!

    1. I agree. She doesn't live by any strict rules, and I like that some days she has just coffee and a few snacks, or some days starts the day with a vegan doughnut. I feel stressed, or like I'm not eating right sometimes with other what I ate videos. I am going to try the banana coconut one too!

  3. "I sometimes wonder if they ever walk by me when I'm sleeping, and think how cute I am" sometimes I like to think of the scene in Totoro where the little girl is napping on Totoro's belly, maybe cat's think we are giant squishy warm pillows- that's cute right? Just google "totoro sleeping" and you will find a picture.

    There was a pretty big discussion on Vegan Warrior Princesses Attack Facebook group and a lot of people feel that guns should just 100% go away, and I agree, though I know that's not going to happen. They just make hate much more violent.

    1. That picture is so cute! I guess you're right, in their own cat way they probably think I'm adorable when I sleep!
      I just listened to their podcast about all this mess. They really always find a way to say what I;m feeling so much better than I can.
      I really want guns to go totally away. I know it wouldn't solve everything, but like you said it just make everything so much more deadly. And shooting anything with an assault rifle doesn't make you a man!
