I’m visiting my sister in San Diego and I fell in love with this cute yellow dotted cactus that she showed me on one of our walks. We named it Curtis the Cactus. #crazyplantlady #succulents #priime (at San Diego, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvlDvLmhhxa/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1e7dfjp6auaz0

Happy π day! Attempted a vegan roasted broccoli and honeynut squash quiche. Not super pretty, but it tasted good 😋 Crust recipe was the Mediterranean whole wheat pie crust from @nytcooking and filling was a combination of various recipes that I found across the internet. #vegan #piday2019 #cooking #baking #plantbased https://www.instagram.com/p/BvA-y4thNKA/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=chgvko665f2w
