Grow Old With You
6 Dec
Using leftover pancake batter from yesterday, I started my morning off quite deliciously. Is that a word? Do I even care? Not really. Anyway, the pancakes were just as incredible. Ah, pecan and cacoa nib pancakes. I must remember this delicious combination.
Continuing the delicious theme of the day, I gave into my gravy craving and whipped up a batch of punk rock chickpea gravy. To go along with it, I made some mashed yukon gold potatoes and chickpea cutlets. This was my first time making the chickpea cutlets and I was IMPRESSED! The texture really is great and the flavor is incredible. The taste reminded me of Thanksgiving stuffing. Really, really delicious stuffing. The potatoes were just mashed with a little plain soy milk, vegan butter, salt and pepper. And the gravy.. oh, the gravy. I would take a bath in it.
I forget to show you all photos from a delicious lunch I ate at Miya’s sushi last week. As always, it was too good for words. I can’t give enough praise to Miya’s. How about you guys drive/fly/get your butts over to Connecticut and have a blog meetup at Miya’s with me?
I went with my Mom, and we decided to share four different rolls. We started out with the fabulous pumpkin miso soup. Miso soup infused with pumpkin and other veggies. Can it get any better? For our sushi, we chose a sweet potato roll, a curry cauliflower roll, huge mixed vegetable roll, and a broccoli/garlic/black bean roll.
I would eat Miya’s every day! In fact, if it were open right now, I’d be chowing down hard.
Now, I must go watch The Wedding Singer. Quite possibly the best movie of all time.
How romantic, right? Goodness. I can’t get enough. What I would give for Robby Heart to sing it to me..
mmm everything looka hella good! are you vegan?
Hi there! I am vegan!
ah Adam Sandler, he is my idol.
p.s. I tried your banana french toast this morning – oh my god girl, I worship you! It was incredible! Thanks so much for your great recipes
Deliciously is DEFINITELY a word
Yess we are sooo going to Miya’s over break!
I dated a guy who used to sing that song to me… I dumped him–yikes!
P.S. TOTALLY had the pancakes for dinner tonight, nom nom nom.
Have a restful evening

Cacao nib pancakes? A delicious start to the day indeed! I love the V’con chickpea cutlets! That’s one of my favorite recipes.
I love using “deliciously” to describe things! Those pancakes are definitely a deliciously good way to start your morning. Love your photos.
youre so totally teasing me w. the pancakes and sushi!
wow, so much delicious food! cocoa nibs sound awesome in pancakes. i think i’m going to start a saturday morning pancake tradition if you want to drive down to DC every other weekend, i’ll drive up to CT for sushi with you on the others. what fantastically creative sushi, and OH MY GOSH i wish i had a recipe for pumpkin miso soup. going to investigate…
Adam Sandler I love you! This was a great post, those pancakes look awesome and yes, I want to eat gallons and gallons of that scrumptious gravy. I love gravy but this looks intensely scrumptious.
Oooh sushi is always one of my favorite things, I can’t get enough.
Gorgeous sushi pictures! And yes, that chickpea gravy is magical.
Oh Adam Sandler, how you filled all my 13 year old dreams in the 90′s!
Ha ha!
Yummy pancakes and sushi! Mmm.. who could ask for more?
One of the all-time cutest songs:)
Pecan and cacao nib pancakes!!! yum!
I love those chickpea cutlets and they are so easy to make.
I want a bite (or ten) of everything you ate… oh yummmmmmmmm!
P.S. What are you shooting with these days? I think I’m going to get a T1i but I’m on the fence.
The T1i RULES!! I just sold mine to Meghann from Graduate Meghann. I was shooting with that up until a month or so ago and I got a Canon 5d Mark II which is an incredible piece of equipment too. I definitely recommend the T1i. It takes HD video too!
cool! i totally respect your photography advice… your pics inspire me… what’s the link to your photography site i was trying to show my dad and couldn’t remember it or find it (but i’m tired and not in search mode) lol
I have http://nicolecarpenterphotography.com and I also post all my photos at flickr.com/photos/sweetpotatoe
I love the Wedding Singer. I cry every time at the end when he’s singing to her on the plane.
me = sap
Me too, Jaime, me too!
Mmmmmm…I LOVE sushi! Is that brown rice??
It’s actually a mixture of whole grain rice, including brown rice! It’s koshihikari rice, quinoa, oat groats, brown rice, amaranth & millet
Ah yes, the wedding singer
Adam Sandler is my favorite!! Nice pancakes
Hrrrm… I actually do pass through New Haven semi-frequently… My family is in New Canaan and I live up in Boston and you seem to have some splendid taste in food and an intrepid attitude toward cooking
. Also, my good friend lives on Elm Street across from Rudy’s, so I often stop there as well.
I live right off of Elm! That’s funny. New Haven rules
