When I saw the wonderful blend of ingredients in this  Chopped Kale Salad with Creamy Almond Ginger Dressing, I knew I had to put it on our “to make” list.  It was amazing!
Besides kale and the incredible dressing, it has asparagus, avocado, portobello mushrooms, chickpeas, zucchini, red cabbage, bell peppers and quinoa in it.  The only things we left out were the radishes (not a fan of them) and red onion (we thought we bought one but discovered that we didn’t).  As always, we also left out the oil.  
It made a huge amount of salad, but we’re not complaining.  We’ll be having this again very soon!

We went to the local farmer’s market on Saturday and got our lunch from the vegan stand, Vegpod.  It was hard to pick what to get because everything looked so good!  We ended up with the chicken-less wrap, southwest black bean salad, gluten free mac with zesty cashew cheese, raw crackers and a strawberry rhubarb muffin.  Such a great lunch!

The sun has been rising right around the time that we wake up for work (5:00) lately, which has given us some really pretty skies!  This shot is straight out of the camera and was taken just the other day.  Waking up at that early hour is a bit easier when you see this out the window!

While we were passing this one, another one was coming in the opposite direction! You can see it a little off in the distance to the left.

Since several people were interested in what we ended up with as a tow vehicle, I thought I’d do a quick post about it.  
After hours spent at various car dealers, test driving and weighing the pros & cons of different vehicles, we settled on a Honda Ridgeline (others that would have been in the running ended up having leather in them, which was a deal breaker for us).  The dealer we worked with was able to get the one we wanted in within a few days and we drove it home last week! 
The picture above of the girls is their first time going for a ride in it.  They were very excited!  It has ample space for them in the back and the middle of the back window even opens up.  Cars behind us will be seeing one (or both!) of the girls smiling out at them at times. 
In about two more months we’ll be using it to tow our 16 foot Airstream Bambi home!

We usually eat all of our bananas before they get overripe, but happened to have a few the other day.  I found this Maple Banana Bread recipe that has no oil, margarine or refined sugar.  Perfection!  Adding some chocolate chips to it makes for a perfect treat.  We’ll be making this again!

We had to get a Vine video of Rowan rolling around on the grass since we already got one of Emma.  She does this the most after she has been bathed, of course.  Such a little stinker!

There’s a nice pond at state park we go to a lot lately and we’ve been trying to get them to go deeper in. Emma will a bit, but Rowan won’t. She’d rather stay on the shore and drink the water! It’s a really clean, spring fed pond that has a trail around it.  So pretty there!

Vegan Pudgie Pies

image

We purchased two pie irons (aka pudgie pie makers) this year and used them for the first time on Saturday night.  While we do plan on taking them camping, this time we just made a campfire in our backyard.  

We started with having our main course, vegan grilled cheese with Tofurky and tomato slices.  If you’ve never made a pudgie pie before, all you need to do is put margarine on one side of two slices of bread or spray the inside of the iron really well with oil.  Assemble the sandwich, keeping everything in the middle more and cook it over a fire.  It’s best to turn it every few minutes and open up the iron to check it to prevent it from burning.  When it’s done, open it up, flip it on a plate and enjoy!  

image

For dessert, we made apple pies on cinnamon raisin pecan bread.  To make these, just slice an apple into very thin slices (this helps the apple to cook faster) and toss them in a bowl with some brown sugar and cinnamon.  Spread one side of each slice of bread with margarine or coat the inside of the iron really well with oil, then assemble the pie by keeping the apple slices mainly in the middle of it.  Cook it just like the grilled cheese sandwiches we made above and enjoy again!

image

There are a lot of different meals and desserts you can use a pie iron for and we plan on making a lot of them!  It’s easy to keep them vegan, too.  Here are a few ideas-

Smores- use cinnamon bread with vegan marshmallows & chocolate.  You can make them gourmet by adding things like chopped pecans or shredded coconut.  

Fruit Pies- use your choice of  bread with canned pie filling or mashed fruit mixed with some sweetener.  

Peanut Butter & Banana- this is great with plain or cinnamon raisin bread.  Add vegan bacon to make it Elvis style or chocolate chips for a dessert! 

Pizza- any type of bread would work in this, from plain to herbed.  Use some pizza sauce and fill it with anything you love on a pizza. 

Burritos or Fajitas- while you can use tortillas in pudgie pies, they will burn easily.  Whatever you use for the bread, pick and choose your fillings for these- refried beans, black beans, bell peppers, onions, salsa, vegan cheese, etc..  

Beans & Franks-  plain bread is best for these.  Fill it with slices of your favorite vegan hot dogs and baked beans.  Add vegan cheese if you please!

Seitan Phillies- use plain bread with chopped seitan, vegan cheese, onions and bell peppers.

If you have any other suggestions for vegan meals and desserts to make in a pie iron, please leave a comment!

We love the stickers that were on this Airstream Excella!  It was parked in the campground of Kohler-Andrae State Park when we took the pups for a walk the other day.
