Assorted Eats and Snow Day!

First things first – it snowed all day today! Of course it didn’t stick because it was 80 degrees on Sunday, but it was beautiful. Such a rare sight for Austin and a great pick-me-up after last week’s pilot suicide attack on one of our buildings.

I’m so proud of myself for remembering to take my camera to work. Scenes from outside my office right in the heart of downtown.




I’m still eating and taking pictures, but with the wedding a month away I find myself away from home a lot and when home, on the phone. One of the best things I made myself was a veggie burger pita. I was extra hungry (what’s new) and put two Chipotle Gardenburgers in one of my homemade pita breads with some iceberg lettuce and tomatoes and onions.


I also made a homemade tomato and spinach soup. It’s not very pretty and it wasn’t all that good now that I think about it.


Spaghetti squash with mushroom sauce.

Leftover casserole of broccoli, spaghetti squash, and soup – the soup was good in this!


Some greens from my farm box, lightly steamed with raw carrots and corn.


Marinated raw veggies – purple cabbage, mushrooms, broccoli, daikon, red pepper, zucchini, and green onions – so yummy.


And a spicy homemade slaw with carrots and cilantro.


The wedding plans are all in place. Tomorrow Chase and I are going to pick up his suit and have dinner together. Chase and Cat are moving to their new place this weekend. I’m having so much fun.

And it’s still snowing!

I was already craving some raw veggies and now I want them even more!

How do you marinade them?

A month away! I can see why you're so excited and busy. But it looks like you're remembering to eat - the food looks good as always. Are Chase and Cat having a vegan wedding? Are you all set with your dress?

How cool (no pun intended!) that it snowed! Too bad it didn't stay for a little while, anyway. :)

Have fun with the last minute prep for the wedding--can't wait to see your recap on the blog!
