I had the hardest time getting up this morning and as soon as I got out of bed the fur baby curled up and decided to take a snooze; she has no idea how lucky she is. After all the packing and moving this weekend I feel like I didn’t even get a weekend off and I am dead today-the rain doesn’t help either. Yesterday we picked up the last of our belongings and finished cleaning our old place. While we cleaned I enjoyed a Hint water that they sent me to sample and some chips. The water was okay the flavor was a bit strong for me but it was at least refreshing while we cleaned.
With the help of my parents the 4 of us were able to clean the place and be on our way in just over 2 hours which was great. We then stopped to have a picnic on the way back to their house, our temporary home.
White Bean and Avocado Sandwiches
Ingredients
1-15oz can of white beans, drained, rinsed and gently mashed
1/2 an avocado diced
1 small tomato, seeded and diced
1/4 cup green onions, thinly sliced
2T reduced fat Vegenaise (or your favorite vegan mayo)
1/4 of a lemon juiced
salt and pepper to taste
Makes enough filing for 4 sandwiches.
With my sandwich I enjoyed a Polar seltzer and for dessert an O’Cookie . I was sent these to sample and the sample included 2 non-vegan and 2 vegan packages so my parents enjoyed some of the non-vegan and my hubz and I the vegan. The favorite from my dad who tried both a vegan and a non-vegan was the Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Oat which unfortunately is not vegan. The vegan flavor we tried was Dark Chocolate Raisin Oat – it was good and I love how tiny the cookies are.
Moving Day 3.2 is still to come- I’ll try posting this evening if the internet is working at my parents house. We are only on part 3 of the moving process and I am hoping that we don’t have too many more. *Dreaming of moving into our new place*
This weekend our friends from Toronto came to visit and we had our first camping trip of 2010. We stayed at Little River State Park in Waterbury VT; it’s a great park with lots of nature/hiking trails and is located on the Waterbury Reservoir. We had intended to spend Friday and Saturday night camping but when the rain started and then the thunder we had one of the quickest tear downs, packed up the car and headed to our house.
However before we headed home we:
The boys fired up the camping stove and we had some yummy eats
veggie burgers and sweet potatoes
Then we took a drive to the Waitsfield Farmers Market where Neil and I enjoyed some black bean tamales that I unfortunately didn’t get a shot of. We took a drive up to the top of Stark Mountain where we proceeded to take a ton of photos.
Then after hitting up On The Rise for a vegan roll up we went on a hike back at the campground.
Following our almost 7.2K hike we relaxed at the beach and caught up on some trashy mag reading. Then it was time for dinner before the rain.
NO those are not mine or my hubby's cigarettes in the photo above
We enjoyed some brews while we cooked up some food; I heart Magic Hat and Wacko is a great summer beer.
Dinner was yummy lentil sweet potato tacos both soft and hard.
After dinner we roasted up some vegan marshmallows and topped the chocolate agave cupcakes that I made Emma for an early birthday “cake”.
Luckily we got our marshmallow roasting done early because then the thunder rolled in and the air grew thick and we decided to make a mad dash to get the entire camp picked up and go to our house….where it was sunny.
