vegan sloppy joes & coleslaw

Sorry I have been missing in action this week, but boy what a week it has been.  Thinking I might have a sinus infection (I will find out more hopefully this evening), work has been non-stop CRAZYVILLE and we hung out with some friends earlier this week.  I am really in need of some weekend!  I had planned on making vegan sloppy joes & coleslaw ALL week long but only finally had the opportunity Thursday night.  My husband again gave this one TWO thumbs UP!!  It was delish!!

I really have no idea where I am this week.  It has felt like the longest week of my life, yet last weekend seems like just yesterday! LOL!

Last weekend I broke out the fall decorations and started decorating!!  OMG I adore fall.  It may be 100+ degrees outside, but inside I am celebrating.

Hey, did you know that soy pumpkin spice lattes from Starbucks are NOT vegan?!?   Nooooo......there is dairy product in the syrup they use.  That did kill some of my Fall spirit, but there is the Chi Tea Latte I guess.

Getting Prada in the Fall mood too - ordered a cute new collar and clip on flower that is adorable!!  I love Dogs by the Bay on Etsy.  I'll leave you with a couple of photos and then hopefully back next week feeling much better!
