Weird baby dreams?

So I had a dream last night that I was walking around with this baby boy in my arms. At first everything was going fine, but then the baby just kept wiggling so bad that he would try and wiggle out of my arms. I was having a hard time keeping his head from falling back...and after a while his neck got all stretchy from his head bouncing around. I know, so weird. He also talked to me, though I dont' remember what he said.

At the same time there was a little tiny baby, like the size of a fetus, except fully developed, floating around and talking to me too. Trying to get the two of them to behave in my arms was quite a task.

vegan breakfast and a not-so-vegan mother's day

So these pictures will not be in sequential order, but here are the events of the past weekend...deeeeelightful!



Okay, so this is DEFINITELY not a vegan option (with 7 eggs and CREAM in the frosting?! no way jose).  This cake is called Truffeltorte and it is a chocolate GENIUS.  It has 11 tbsp of butter and 2 cups of cream...30 oz of semi-sweet chocolate...that's a little less than two pounds.

TOTALLY worth it.



This is Marcy Ramsey, my cute little mother in law, enjoying some tea at Papa's.  We went there to celebrate her cumpleaƱos.



My husband baked her this cake for her birthday.  MMMMMM!


First taste...APPROVED!


Okay, back to VEGAN options here....this was our breakfast a few days ago.  It consisted of tofu scramble, vegan sausage patties, and butter-free biscuits!  Seriously...best vegan breakfast EVER.

Up close on the tofu scramble bit.  You can find a link to it here.


pregnant!



best dog ever.  Totally blog worthy.

Pasta and Tacos

Here's some delightful favorites:

Pasta Della California (aka linguine with spinach, broccoli, and avocado.  This has to be my all-time favorite pasta recipe. It's fast and delicious and a little spicy!!!  ahhh soo good.  I want some right now!)  Taken from Veganomicon.


This dinner is made complete with some "white wine" (aka white grape juice)


Black bean and brown rice enchiladas (with a little bit of "sour cream"). We enjoyed these with some fantastic Jarritos (you know, the 35 cent fruity drinks?  so good), Mexican coke, and chips and salsa (despite all the fuss about the swine flu!)


And good ol' tacos with some vegetable protein instead of meat!  We get this at Krogers and we just love it!  I prefer soft tacos, but here is Wil's fav: crunchy style!
