Miracles

So I did make cauliflower Alfredo on Tuesday night! I am shocked to say that I loved it and couldn't even taste the cauliflower. I would have never known if I hadn't made it. I didn't even add a ton of stuff to cover the taste. Just nooch, miso, and roasted garlic and onion. I wrote down exactly what I did, but I want to play around and see if I can add more cauliflower and still enjoy it. I used a twelve ounce bag of frozen riced cauliflower because it was cheaper than a whole head, and I was scared to use too much.  I could not smell or taste anything funky. And that is a miracle because I really hate the taste and smell of steamed cauliflower. I used a little more than a half a cup of raw soaked cashews. I'll see if I can up the cauliflower and use a half cup, or even a little less of cashews next time. Now there are two ways I'll eat cauliflower. Who am I???

Two weeks ago I decided to try this Primal Pit Paste deodorant. It was on sale for under six dollars at Smith's, and I've never tried it. I had been using Crystal mineral salt deodorant which was okay, but no match for this hot weather. I'm very pleased to say this deodorant is seriously AMAZING! I mean, I've been out walking and sweating and dying in this 100 plus heat, and seriously I've never smelled better. I have the lavender scent, which is not too strong at all. It's made with shea butter, so it's nice and moisturizing. Living in such a dry climate I appreciate all the moisture I can get! I just thought I'd share because there are a lot of not so good vegan, non toxic deodorants out there and they're definitely pricier so it's frustrating when they don't really work. This one is definitely not the pits!

I love it when dogs lay froggy style! This was how Ivory plopped down after our walk yesterday on the cool kitchen floor. I love the over the shoulder look too!

And Daisy tried something new. She kept looking at the fridge and looking at me. I know she wanted some kind of treat and was hoping to charm me into it. She is very much a charmer. I plan on checking with her mom on her feelings on treats after a walk.

And here's two of my sillies being weird. I walked into my room and find Joan and Afro crammed together in the corner.

And right next to them Etta living her best lounge life ever! I'm so glad I have all these animals in my life to really cheer me up and remind me to laugh and have fun!
