Home made falafel balls

So, this week I made another loaf of the vegan banana bread, but I used regular choc chips so that made them not vegan and it was quite a bit sweeter.   Think I like the dark Valharona choc better.

Then I’ve been experimenting with falafel mixes. I bought a packaged one and it was okay but I knew I could make it for less with out preservatives.

Here’s the recipe  

I was quite skeptical of using the garbanzo beans just soaked over night but it was amazing and a great recipe. I even followed the instructions.

I forgot to take pictures though(as usual).

Then I baked up a batch of tofu to have for lunches. That was tasty too.

I’m reading a fun murder mystery series by Meg Wolfe. She has written the Minimalist Woman and a couple of ebooks. I really like her writing style, very sharp and concise. Here’s the first one in the series.

The first one is loads of fun as she describes a woman going thru downsizing and minimalizing.  Try these,  I think they’re great. But I’m only on Book 2 so far.

 

 

 

tonight, it’s sorta YOYO. Everyone is getting a sandwich at the store but I think I’ll just make some noodles and brown butter. ( my go to comfort food.)

BTW, I got the first coat of Kilz on the wall and tomorrow, I’ll paint the white.

Simple Sunday

It’s going to be an active day today. We need to drop off a load at the Goodwill Express( hopefully they’re taking donations). Then back home and take a load to our local transfer station which happens to be only a few miles away.

Then I’m going to the gym with my daughter and then home to do some painting.  It sounds like a lot but it should all flow and that’s good by me.

Not too much frugal here since we’ve been going to Home Depot and Lowes for stuff. Yesterday was getting the wall stuff( insulation, Tyvek, and a piece of siding that matches the rest of the space.  That’s the wood I need to paint and it’ll probably take two coats.

The new door.

So, in the end, I think we will end up @ $1000.  Today B will put together the desk and bookcase. Since I’m painting that wall where the bookcase will go, it will just sit off to the side.

Well, I’ll update a little later with some new food recipes I’ve tried.
