Before I forget to tell you all, something exciting happened this summer!
Lily’s Health Pad was featured on About.com’s Vegetarian Food Blog because Jolinda wanted her readers to read a non-vegan’s review of vegan macaroni and cheese.

Sunday evening, while Bob’s Raisin Bread was cooking away in my oven, I decided to make a large batch of Irish oats in order to save time on this week’s breakfasts.
(oats with chia seeds, dollops of pear preserves and Barney Butter, and a sprinkling of raisins)
Let me tell you, I have been SO thankful for this week’s pre-made oats. They have expedited the morning breakfast process, thus allowing me extra minutes of precious sleep.
And oh, how I need sleep! I’ve been dragging since Monday night’s impromptu decision to stay up well past my bedtime and watch the Real Housewives of New Jersey reunion show.

I don’t know why I concern myself with such garbage.
But I do know I’ll be tuning in next week for Part II.
Lunch was a frozen meal.

But not the kind I used to eat.
Did anyone else grow up calling these tv dinners? (Please say I’m not the only one.)
This “tv dinner” is actually homemade adzuki bean stew!
Check out the goodness of this soup.
Adzuki beans, sweet peppers, cilantro, onion, carrot- chock full of nutrients.
I’ve been eating a lot of these homemade frozen meals for lunch since I began my new job. The convenience just can’t be beat!
Dinner was a chickpea curry.
This is the best chickpea curry recipe known to man! It totally beats the recipe I posted last December.
Finally, once I hit ‘publish’ I’ll be indulging in the 2nd half of this deliciousness.
Question: Who’s your favorite Real Housewives character of all time (from any season)? Least favorite?
I’m off to watch some Gossip Girl before bed. Season 3 came available on Netflix this week!
