From wintry to warm

The weather has been insane lately. On Sunday, there were six inches of snow on the ground and a definite nip in the air. Today the temperature was in the 70′s and I went out without so much as a sweater.

To warm up from the cold weather I made another tester for Bianca’s cookbook, Seitan and Dumplin’s! The Brit wasn’t a huge fan, but I really enjoyed it. In fact, I had leftovers for dinner tonight and I think it was even better than the first night.


In celebration of this current warm weather I enjoyed a smoothie for breakfast. Frozen strawberries and bananas blended with chocolate almond milk and some flax seeds. Yum!


I sure hope this weather calms down soon.

    I looooved chicken and dumplings pregan, so I can’t wait to try this recipe. It really looks delicious.

    Great smoothie pic, they are the best.

    Oooh. Yummy dumplings! I wonder if they’ll rival my mom’s icky-utterly-unvegan version. I can’t wait on her cookbook to come out.

    We had snow the other day, and now it’s in the 70′s. I feel ya.

    I made the seitan and dumplings the other day, super yummy. I thought they were even tastier as leftovers, too.
