Cheated a bit and had this week’s Vegan Thursday on Wednesday so I could blog about it on Thursday. But of course I’ll still be eating vegan today (the real Vegan Thursday), too.
Last night, I tried a new product and resurrected an old fave: Butternut fries!
A big bowl of whole-wheat angel-hair pasta (tossed with spices, a little vegan butter, and a lot of broccoli)
With a side of Butter(nut) Me Up Squash Fries. The fries were just as sweet-n-perfect as always. And I fell head-over-heels for the new product: Gia Russa angel hair pasta. If you’ve tried whole wheat pasta in the past and weren’t a fan of the nutty flavor, run out and buy this! It doesn’t taste like whole wheat pasta at all.
Even more exciting than my dinner was that my mom joined me for the meal. I made her the same dinner as me, and she polished it off.
Actually, I made a few changes because she doesn’t like squash fries. Sacrilege, I know! (She also had a different bowl for her pasta, but I used mine for the photo shoot.
Yea vegan thursday!
I love linguini!
Hooray for Vegan Thursday #1!!!!!!!!!!!
…I just realized that I inadvertently participated in Vegan Thursdays. (humph… interesting realization…)
Hooray carbs! I thought it would be a good idea to run in 8 degree weather the other day, and my hands were soooo cold. I don’t thin regular cotton gloves cut it. :-/ Needless to say, I ran inside today. 🙂
Stay warm, Katie!
I’m not much for pasta, but I did have some spiralized zucchini noodles for dinner on vegan Thursday!
love any kind of pasta–I was going to say cappellini is my favorite, but I think that’s actually the same as angel hair.
I had a great Vegan Thursday today! Thanks for the idea 🙂
I had my first ever Vegan meal today! And it was delish 🙂
YUM! All those veggies – and those fries! – look delish!
I know! Can you believe this weather?! It’s craziness. I have snow, getting more snow, and it’s cold! Ready for Mr. Sunshine to grace me with his presence and warmth! Well, maybe I should say “a new season!” LOL
Hope your holidays were fantabulous, Katie – just like you!
Hugs,
Michele
