This past weekend marked a national holiday. Everyone was given the day off, many people had parties, and there were even a few parades around the country.
Yes, I am talking about my 20th birthday.
And I guess we were celebrating Memorial Day too.
I kicked the celebration off with some yard work on Saturday. My mom and I planted a lil garden (in addition to the existing garden we have surrounding our house).
Ok, it doesn't look like much now, but we've got some cucumbers, summer squash, basil, and even some sunflowers in the back there.
I even planted a pot of oregano and a pot of basil to take with me to school.
For lunch, I had a so-so meal, and by meal, I mean something I could whip up super fast.
I had a few Morningstar Farms Buffalo Wings and some carrots. Ranch was added to the mix due to the spice of the wings.
When I first became a vegetarian, I was all about the faux meat products. As time has passed, I can't stand them anymore. These puppies were pretty good, but look at the ingredients list.
Yikes. Plus, they're not vegan.
Sunday wasn't very exciting and I have no pictures to show for it, so let's move on.
MONDAY, MAY 31st!
MY BIRTHDAY!
My parents were grilling out with some burgers and ribs. I wanted to keep with the theme and came up with a vegan Boca burger on a sandwich thin with some avocado and salsa. Again, the faux meat is not the greatest but I wanted a "burger".
And, for dessert, Coconut Pecan Pudding Cake.
YUM YUM YUM!
And now, on to PRESENTS!
As an amateur foodie, this was the best gift EVER!
The bullet will revolutionize the way I do my thang.
My mama also got me this daily devotional. She knows me so well! <3
And the last present was one to myself that showed up on my porch the next morning.
I can't wait to make some of these delicious recipes!
Overall, the 20th birthday isn't as cool as you might think. Only 365 ish more days til my (hopefully) more exciting 21st birthday.
