Ryan's lunch: grilled nutritional yeast cheeze sandwich w/ soy cheese & nori Calvin; blueberries; baked tofu; steamed asparagus; stuffing.This was my first attempt at chibi, or a cartoon/anime bento. I ran out of time in the morning with children & husband yelling that it was time to go, so I didn't have time to add the nori title. But many might recognize Calvin from the cartoon Calvin & Hobbes.
AJ's snack: stuffing;asparagus; Veggie
Booty; baked tofu;
grilled cheeze
sandwich.
We already had leftovers
to add to lunches after
an early Thanksgiving
celebration at my sister-in-law's new inn.
Tuesday:
Ryan's "family" lunch: yellow bell pepper; sesame tofu; rice ball "people"; asparagus; sliced black olives; broccoli.
AJ and his class made
vegetable-print vests
and clay necklaces for
their harvest feast at
preschool.
After school Dada took
Ryan, AJ & Maia to visit
their aunt, cousins, grandma
& 97 year old great
grandma.
Thanksgiving Day:
Our noontime dinner: garlic mashed potatoes/celeriac, stuffing, spicy baked tofu, broccoli, corn, roasted balsamic butternut squash pastina risotto (similar to this), cranberry cabbage (from a Russian cookbook of my mother's--she's Russian/Latvian), sauteed swiss chard, pickled beets, braised celery (veganized from Alton Brown's recipe here), crescent rolls, cranberry sauce, pickled asparagus, pumpkin pecan bread, pickles, cranberry apple cider.
We did a "dessert dinner"
of pumpkin creme pie,
baked apples, and vanilla
soy ice cream.
Many thanks to Riverof Wing-It Vegan! She
tagged my blog for a
Butterfly Award!
Now it is up to me to
pass on the award to
10 more blogs of my
choosing. I liked River's
"veggie moms" theme.
I am going to deviate
from the expected food
blogs and choose 10 of my favourite parenting/parent-authored blogs, some food-related, most not. I am not concerned with whether or not these blogs have been awarded in the past--these are my picks. Enjoy!
