Happy Monday!

Yesterday I got a new used couch! I think I had mentioned that when I first moved here I was given a couch that was already very used. My cats had a blast finishing the job. The couch was in the worst possible condition and it was rather depressing not to mention a huge eyesore! I got this couch at a thrift store called Savers which is the same as Value Village in Seattle, just like how Smith's here is Fred Meyer in Seattle. It made me so homesick for Seattle when I walked in because it was exactly like a Value Village inside. I got this lovely almost new chocolate brown couch for only twenty two dollars!! Thrifting is seriously the BEST! Don't worry, my girls are already working on giving it the cat scratch fever makeover!
I also got in some cooking. I did make vegan corn pudding and scalloped potatoes using a cauliflower cheese sauce for the base. They turned out AMAZING! And they didn't taste like cauliflower. I think that's a great way to make a guilt free holiday dish that tastes heavy but isn't!
I did write down what I did, the corn pudding tasted great but I think it needs to be a little thicker. I seriously took the world's worst photo so I doubt anyone will be dying to try this! I wanted to cook earlier so I could get some natural light shots, but time got away from me. A neighbor helped me with the couch so I was kind of on their schedule.

See what I mean? Casserole dishes are already hard to make look pretty, and then you add horrible lighting and it's a recipe for YIKES! But the meal was so tasty. I blended some tofu with a little canned coconut milk and a can of corn to make the creamed corn/egg part of the pudding. I think I just need to tinker and get it a little thicker. But lucky for me it tastes really good. And I do mean lucky because I will be having lots of leftover corn pudding!!

So if anyone remembers yesterday's photo Kanye was working to keep Afro off the heat vent. This is the aftermath. Kanye might be the smallest of the crew, but don't mess with her heat! Could she look any happier with herself?
