Biscuits and gravy are something I never had prior to going vegetarian. It’s typically made with pork, and I don’t eat pork.  So it was something my mother didn’t make for breakfast. I’d see it on the menu when we’d go out to eat, and wondered what it tasted like. Now that I’m vegetarian, I’ve learned a lot about making substitutions in recipes. And I enjoy experimenting in the kitchen and creating plant-based versions of dishes I used to eat or haven’t tried. I haven’t been out to eat in months, and one of my favorite vegan restaurants added biscuits and gravy to their menu. But they were out of it by the time I got there. So I decided to try my hand at making it.

The holiday season is right around the corner. It’s full of family get-togethers, office parties, and Christmas shopping trips. If you’re an introvert, the holiday season might be something your dread. Trying to catch your breath between dealing with crowds in stores and social activities isn’t easy. And feeling overwhelmed during the holidays isn’t uncommon for introverts. it’s tempting to want to clear your calendar and hide away until it’s over. But you can be an introvert and still enjoy the holidays.

My favorite month of the year has come and went. October was a fun spooky month full of my favorites. The weather is cooler, pumpkin spice was everywhere, and it’s a perfect time to watch Over the Garden Wall. Even though, my focus for October was relaxing and having some spooky fun. I did search for a place in Denver. I also made some progress on my Hisoka cosplay.

Halloween is right around the corner, and there’s no better time to get into a good horror game. Visual novel games aren’t a popular genre but bring something different to the horror video game genre. For some, visual novel horror games may not seem as exciting because they’re not as interactive. Instead of playing as a character who’s running for their life. Your reading through a story, paying close attention to clues, solving puzzles, and making decisions that’ll affect the outcome of the story. And if the story isn’t enough to keep you up at night then the chilling illustrations will. Even though, they’re not as interactive as typical video games. They still immerse the player into the story by relying on visuals, music, and telling a compelling story.

Is it truly fall if you don’t have something with pumpkin or pumpkin spice in it? I think not. The smell of pumpkin spice has been drifting through my apartment all month. Soon as I see the canned pumpkin hit the shelves, I start thinking of all the goodies I can make with it. And this year is no different. When it to making treats using canned pumpkin my go-to’s are muffins, donut holes, or everyone’s favorite pumpkin pie. But this year, I wanted to do something different and ended up experimenting with cookies. Since it’s easy to make them in small batches or freeze the leftovers. So I present to you vegan pumpkin cookies.
