The post title refers not only to my lack of company last night, but also to my entertainment for the evening: Home Alone. Slowly, I’m making my way through the Christmas movies.
Before my Christmas-movie fest last night, I made myself a yummy little dinner:
The movie star of the show: Bread-free Vegan Stuffing.
But just as delicious was the simple, quick pilaf I made up to go with my stuffing.
.
“Home Alone” Pilaf for One
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 serving kamut flakes (or oats, spelt flakes, etc.) (40g)
- 1-3 tsp vegan butter (such as Earth Balance or Smart Balance light)
- 1 cup water (240g)
Directions: First—and this step is optional—pulse the flakes in a small magic bullet cup or blender if you want the texture of grits (or oat bran). Otherwise, start with step two: Cook the grain in a small pot, with the water and salt, until most of the water is absorbed. Add the vegan butter. (You can also add more salt, to taste.)
Do you like being home alone?
“Keep the change, you filthy animal” 🙂
Hee hee classic Christmas film! I’ve got to try this “stuffing” – I’m loving lentils in every shape and form at the moment, thanks!
No joke, I almost made that the title of my post!
Hee hee, great minds! 🙂
Yum! I like being home alone for a while, but then I’ll get hung up on everyone else out having fun and I’ll want to be out too. But sometimes, it’s relaxing….
Hey Katie,
Home Alone is one of my all time favorite Christmas movies! Actually, we watched it last weekend 🙂
I love reading when I’m home alone, or getting some good blog posts done!
I love Home Alone!!! I actually have not had any time to watch movies : (
I really don’t mind being home alone. Then I can get the kitchen messy while baking and not feel bad about it and sing broadway tunes at the top of my lungs. 🙂
I do that too! I am so self-conscious singing in front of others (Maybe because my sister is a star singer, and my grandma went to Julliard? lol I just can’t compare!)
Sometimes I love being home alone, and sometimes I hate it. But I really like watching TV/ movies and baking when I am!
I really don’t mind being alone–I actually much prefer to be alone or with just one or two close friends than to be surrounded by a crowd. I spent today alone, and I went to Trader Joe’s, read Clean Eating magazine, and relaxed with some tea at Starbucks:)
That sounds like a perfect day. Can I join you next time? Oh wait, but then you wouldn’t be alone!
I live alone… so I’m always home alone. I didn’t think I would like it but I actually do!
I LOVE being alone! I can cook whatever I want and I usually catch up on gossip shows 🙂
Mmm yummy pilaf! Yes I loooove being home alone… for about an hour. Then I think of all these funny jokes and have nobody to tell them to 🙂
