    when i went to portion out my meals for the week, i discovered a crack in one of my favorite divided containers. sadly, the brand does not make glass divided containers anymore. i hope to stumble upon similar containers while thrifting but am not holding my breath for an exact replacement.

    zucchini overnight oats (1:1 oats and non dairy milk, divided one large shredded zucchini between five bowls, top with cinnamon and yogurt, wish i had walnuts).

    i had a bunch of leftover applesauce from baking a carrot cake for a friend the other week, so i decided to make a couple batches of muffins. i took this recipe (https://www.connoisseurusveg.com/vegan-applesauce-muffins/) but instead of adding raisins and walnuts, i added frozen blackberries. secondly, i made spinach muffins, as i also had leftover spinach from making pesto this week, so i took this recipe (https://thenaturalnurturer.com/kid-friendly-vegan-spinach-muffins/#recipe) but subbed applesauce in for mashed banana and added in some shredded coconut.

    moving onto lunch, i made garlic bread beans (https://justinesnacks.com/garlic-bread-beans/#recipe), pesto quinoa using homegrown oregano instead of basil (https://www.asweetalternative.com/blog/pesto-quinoa#recipe) and meatballs (https://thefirstmess.com/2021/04/21/lemony-oregano-vegan-meatballs-recipe/#recipe).

    lastly, for dinner i made crispy tofu and this cauliflower recipe (https://plantbasedrdblog.com/2025/02/whole-roasted-cauliflower-with-creamy-scallion-date-dressing/#tasty-recipes-14403-jump-target) except i roasted the cauliflower as florets, served with brown rice.

    and speaking of rice! i fucked up a little bit and need some help. my first attempt at making rice for this, i accidentally kept the rice on the burner, and now i have scorch marks on my stainless steel pot. i tried soap and water, bar keeper’s friend, soaking, and simmering soap on the stove but so far nothing has hardly made a dent in the scorch marks. i’m really hoping the pan isn’t toast, so does anyone else have any ideas as to how i can clean this thing?
