so tonight i did up some taco-y wraps. so yum

behold the homemade whole wheat tortillas, homemade salad filling (black beans, corn, pepper, cumin, lime etc. sooooo yum), and the homemade vegan sour cream. all from the lovins of my heart. it was so good too. i can give recipes if anyoone wants.

edit::::: new sammy:::

ok so this one is one of those 'clean the fridge out' samms. hah. tons of summer veggies (mushrooms, carrots, lettuce, spinach, pepper etc) with a little lemon hummus on whole wheat. it totally hit the spot.



does anyone else have any good sammich combos without dairy/eggs that i can try? what is your fave???

Ohh yah its summer. That is why I love to make sammies. Gone are the days of slow cooked veggie chili and soups.
Today I made a really niceee sammy.
-Cherry juice marinated tofu, roasted until slightly cripsy
-roasted zucchini and mushrooms
-garden fresh spinach
-fresh roasted red bell peppers
-red onion
-balsamic vinegar and olive oil
all on a fresh toasted piece of baguette. in my opinion, toasting is really the icing on the cake.
scrumpyyy

well, again, digging into my sewing class's  closet resulted in a fabby fabric find. the print has been described as 80s/southwest/arizona/new mexico/native american print. the pattern is the built by you pants pattern. these were so easy and hassle free. its the second pair i made from the pattern. sweet!



sooo tan. yahooooo.

 

yup you heard.
all i have to say about these photos/camera i used is: oh the goddamn confusion and luck.
all taken with a Ansco Telephoto 110 Camera, salvaged from the thrift store.











totally feelin this one..

one day i got this really great idea that i should make printed shorts. ohhhh yes. so i borrowed some fabby fabric from the endless closet of boxes of fabric from my sewing class. the pattern is simplicity 3850, its a built by wendy, which i love. i had some trouble with the fly front zipper, the directions were wayyyyy confusing. i had to improvise a little. other than that, the pattern was great.
love my new shortttttz

ok... so..i got this fabric from a swap meet when i went to california. it was in  a big pile with other ends of fabric. im pretty sure they were ends of big ass bolts that clothing/textiles companies bought. well yah. got back to illinoize and what do you know, the fabric was infested with fleas. careful bleaching got rid of the bugs and now i have a dress that is toooooooo comfy.
booyah gramma
