Thank you to Madeleine for nominating me for a stylish blogger award! I'm psyched! Apparently this means I need to: Make a post and link back to the person who awarded me - Madeleine . Share seven things about myself. Award 15 recently discovered great bloggers. Contact these bloggers and tell them they've won. Whew. That's a lot of facts and bloggers! Seven facts about me that you may not already know... 1) I was born in Schwäbisch Hall, Germany, and German was my first language. 2) My first acting role was my star turn at age 4 as Thumbelina in Hans Christian Andersen's Fairytales at the Army Community Theater in Fort Knox, Kentucky.

I added a little tamari to make it taste better. A little garlic powder and kaboom! It was tasty. The Amy's Bistro Burger was a first for me and I have to say, I really like it.

I brought my veggie burger with me, on a piece of onion bread. They turned out really well and I definitely plan on making more. In fact, I could probably eat those veggie burgers daily. There's my burgers and my onion bread. Yes, the burgers are tiny. So I guess I made Sliders or whatever they're called! There's my whole burger sandwich with onion bread, lettuce, burger, BBQ sauce, and mustard. I added sprouts after the picture was taken. Today I had a quiche. At least that's what the recipe was called -- it asked for something like a cup of cashew cheese and lots of chopped vegetables, to be dehydrated in a tart pan. I cut up a bunch of veggies -- broccoli, bok choy, mushrooms, yellow pepper, zucchini, and tomato -- and used a tiny amount of watery cashew cheese to get it to all stick together. I topped it with som...
