...7.11...Over the Weekend...a Family Reunion...

...I made some vegan desserts to take to the reunion...this is the same vegan coconut creme pie that I've made before...
...but I poured it over a 9x13 pie crust...
...so that it would be sliceable like bars instead of pie shaped...
...and I made a bunch of little vegan Brownie Bites too...
...and then Saturday morning we headed up the interstate to the mountains...
...I always love it when you top a hill and the mountains come into view...
...Mom was already at the community center...
...and she had made a bunch of vegan food just for me...there's her famous slaw...and a vegan squash casserole and vegan Mexican cornbread...Nanny's recipe...
...and then my sweet sissie arrived...and we spent some time visiting uncles/aunts/cousins that we haven't seen since last year...and some a lot longer ago than that...I do love family reunions...
...and then of course it was time to eat...there were several vegan dishes...in addition to the ones Mom brought for me...so I really overloaded my plate...oh well...I won't need dinner when I get home...haha...
...especially since I also ate a ridiculous amount of dessert...
...and of course we spent some time looking at the old photographs and family histories...it was so much fun...

~Wishing you a lovely start to your week!

  3. That sounds absolutely lovely. Hooray for family time and good eats! We just got together for my grandma's 90th and it was super-duper catching up with everyone and learning ever more about my grandma's life.

    1. (And there was a baked potato bar and taco bar to accommodate all the gluten-free, keto, vegan, AND conventional eaters.)
