Hey everybody, sorry it’s been so long since posting. Between multiple pets passing away and a surprise reduction in our budget, we just haven’t been up to posting. We’re going to try and get back into posting now though. Hope you enjoy the posts to come !
Supposedly we have a water leak and we’re getting a plumber to finally check it on Monday. We’ve been focusing on trying to get a lot of cleaning done in anticipation of them coming so I’m just too tired to post a recipe. Sorry everybody.
Just wanted to wish all the great moms out there (including those people who are moms to fur babies) a happy Mother’s Day ! You do so much and don’t get nearly the amount of recognition for it that you deserve.
I made the mistake of going grocery shopping and being hungry so when I saw the Brussels sprouts looking good, I ended up grabbing 2 pounds worth of them ! It sort of felt like the one of the first real moments where I thought “Oh boy, I know I’m vegan when I wanna eat and the Brussels sprouts are what I get a hankering for !”
Hey everybody, hope your day’s been going well. As you may or may not have guessed based off some of our recent recipes, we’ve decided to switch to plant-based eating. My (Lisa) dad has an increasing amount of health problems and it scares mommy to think of us developing the same problems. We’ve told my dad we’re not consuming anymore animal products and he was not happy about that ! He loves his meat and cheese and so do we but we love our health even more ! So with what all we’ve heard about plant-based diets, we’re hoping to not go down the same route as my dad and maybe decrease some chronic aches and pains that we do have. We don’t hold out much hope of things getting much better for my dad because he’s very much set in his ways. His nose wrinkles up when he hears the two words “vegetarian” or “vegan”. We have tried to fix healthier things for him along with having fruit for him to snack on. We know that he gets himself things to eat outside the house and he barely touches the fruit. We’ve tried and now it’s up to him. We have tried to cook healthier but after seeing so much food go to waste, we went back to fixing him the foods he likes. Mommy and I have to look out for our own health and it’s up to my dad to make his own decisions concerning his health. We’re going to post everything we make whether it’s delicious or not to us for two reasons, 1.) something we don’t like could sound scrumptious to you and 2.), some people hear “plant-based food” and all they think of are salads. We want to prove there’s way more than just salads to eat should you choose to switch to plant-based eating yourself.
We thought this recipe was going to be worth posting but after eating a bowl full… let’s just say we had a bad bathroom experience ! We probably should’ve known that’d happen though when the roux involved 1/4 cup of oil !
Hey everybody, hope you’re having a great day so far ! We just wanted to let you know that we are all caught up in posting our previous recipes. This means that we will be cutting down on how many times we post each day but we do hope that you’ll stick around and enjoy the posts to come !
1 (1-oz.) envelope Ranch dressing mix (we used Hidden Valley)
1 ½ cups light sour cream (we used regular sour cream)
2 tsp. finely chopped canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
1 tsp. adobo sauce from can
Potato chips, assorted vegetables (we used Ruffles original chips)
Directions
Take a bowl or container out and mix the first 4 ingredients together in it. Cover the bowl and let it sit in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Serve with the chips and/or vegetables.
We thought this was a good-tasting dish. While this is tasty we didn’t taste the chipotle nearly as much as we wanted to, so we’ll definitely increase the chipotles next time. We’re curious to see if the flavors get stronger after sitting in the fridge for a couple of days.
We found this recipe in a Southern Living magazine.
We weren’t paid in any form to promote Hidden Valley, Ruffles or Southern Living.
