A night with Vies
Hiiiii 😀 Happy [Superbowl] Sunday 😀 Still have no idea who’s playing today, but I know there will be snacks and that Glee is on, so that’s all that matters 😉
My night was spent like this:
It was SO so good to hang out with the Viessy and the amazing family who adopted her. When she saw me, she cried, leapt into the air and kissed me on the mouth. Vies is so happy and looks beautiful- her fur was full and shiny, and she had a silly grin on her face all night. She loved the attention from everyone (my brother was over there, along with his girlfriend’s family). It was amazing to scratch her belly and get slobbery kisses and puppy hugs from her. As I drove home and was talking to the Pilot, I told him I would feel guilty taking Vies home with me because she’s so happy with her new family. It’s like she’s been with them all along 🙂
Here’s a pic of the black bean spaghetti for those of you who were interested:
You can find it at Whole Paycheck (aka Whole Foods) in the Asian/ethnic aisle. It’s not by the regular pasta, which makes it a little tricky to find. It’s worth the hunt for 20g of protein, though! 😀
This morning, I had a quick breakfast:
Pumpkin Breakfast Quinoa
-mix of red and reg quinoa
-1/2 C organic pumpkin
-1 scoop nasty Dr protein + 1 scoop delicious Sun Warrior
-almond milk and cinnamon
I’m off to a photo shoot and then meeting up with the fam!
Are you cooking for Superbowl Sunday? What’s on the menu?
See ya later today!
xoxo
Gina

So glad she is doing well with her new family! And that she let you leave and didn’t give you a hard time and try to leave with you! And of course she was happy to see you!!
Have a great Superbowl Sunday! FYI…the PACKERS and the Steelers are playing! And i don’t follow sports much at all!
Packers and Steelers in the Super Bowl!! GO Pack 🙂 I’m glad the pup is happy at her new house, that would be very difficult for me.
Aww those photos are so cute! So glad to hear that Vies is happy with his new family- looks like you made the right decision 🙂
Woah 20g of protein in the spaghetti?! Must look out for that!! And your breakfast quinoa bowl looks delish! 😀
Love that pic of you and Vies!!!! She had to have been so ridic happy to see you-hope you got in some good cuddle sessions!!!!
Love black bean pasta-i’m actually throwing it in a give-away this upcoming wk w/mung bean for those that can’t get it! Firmly believe EVERYONE should be able to have some, haha!!!
Have a great Superbowl Sunday!
Glad Vies is happy. Lovely photos!
she is so so cute!!! so happy for her! that must have been tough but she will be so happy 😀
Vies does look very happy! Thank you for sharing pictures of Bella and Vies. While it makes me miss my sweet little Chihuahua that passed away last August, it still warms my heart to see their smiling faces. 🙂
I am debating back and forth between a high protein spinach dip, homemade pizza, or tofu kale lasagna. Not all really “game” foods but they sound good! Go Steelers! 🙂
oh this is too sweet! I LOVE the pic of you and Vies! Reading how happy she was to you made my heart melt, I am so glad you get to see her still and the family loves her and she is happy!!!
Have a great day Gina!
I didn’t realize she was so little!! What a cutie-pie puppy!! Glad you got to visit, and it must be so heart warming she is so happy!! 🙂
Have a great Sunday!
Jess
oh glad you had a good time – she does look happy indeed! the same thing happened when we gave our dog away – she really loved that other family which is kind of sad but good as well 🙂
no superbowl here but i’ll be making yummy snacks anyway! any excuse’ll do 🙂
Im totally going on the hunt for that black bean spaghetti next time I get to Whole Paycheck.
You’re right!!!! Viesa looks like she’s doing so well!! 🙂
I know this is silly but I have a puppy I adore so I can empathize with what you went through with Viessy. This post made me happy! 🙂
BTW what is the texture of the pasta like?
Viesa is absolutely adorable. How could her new family NOT love her? I’m glad they’re doing good and that she remembers you 🙂 What kind of dog is she, by the way? Have a great Sunday with the family later!
black bean pasta you say……hmmmmm I may have to run and grab some today <3 looks delish! Im not a big football fan and im greatful my hubby isnt either but my Tio's are so im making a bunch of stuff to take and drop off to thier superbowl party 🙂
Aww that picture of you and Vies is soooo precious. It’s so full of love! 🙂 And I also love that black bean pasta, I used to buy it all the time but haven’t gotten it in a while. I must go back and get some. 😀
Oh Viesa is so sweet. I’m glad she is happy with her new family.
We’re not doing anything special for the Super Bowl today — we’re having burritos for lunch (kind of a super bowl food, right?) and I’m sure we’ll have some chips/salsa/guac during the game!
I bought some local cheese yesterday. I’m going to make a cheese/veggie/cracker tray for my family today. 🙂
LOVE the pics of Vies! She looks so happy 🙂 I think Adam would be ticked if I tried to serve him that pasta, though it might be worth a shot. I’m always looking for more protein sources!
That first picture of you and Vies is beautiful! You should frame it!!! Your posts with the black bean spaghetti have been sparking my interest, thanks for letting us know where you get it! Next time I go there, I’m definitely looking it up!
I’m bringing taco dip, guacamole and brownies to a Superbowl party today.
Glad Vies is a happy lady!
That is so sweet that Vies cried when she saw you. I am watching the super bowl but not cooking a thing! I’m headed over to a friends house for a party. I do know who is playing, but I honestly don’t care who wins. I just want a good game and fun with my friends!
So glad you got to see the pup! She is so beautiful : )
I am totally going to buy that spaghetti, I think I’d love it! And your quinoa breakfast looks mmmmm tast-y! Have a great day and enjoy the commercials 😉
I am NOT doing anything for superbowl sunday! Besides watching the commercials on hulu:)
I’m so glad you had an awesome time with vies! She is adorable, I’m so glad she loves her new family!:)
We are hosting a little party but we don’t really care about football, we’re doing it for the fun with friends and commercials. Peanut butter oatmeal cookies, chipotle sliders, the Pioneer Woman’s chicken strips and a huge veggie tray are on the menu.
Viesa is so beautiful! I’m actually not doing anything for the superbowl… I’ll probably be studying all day.
I’ll be watching the Superbowl & doing homework 🙁
Where can I get the red quinoa? -I only see the reg one at my local supermarket…Do they have it at Whole Paycheck?
Also what does the black bean pasta taste like?
like reg pasta- so good!
Oh vies!! I bet you miss her. She looks happy though. Cant wait to go search for those noodles. i’ve been looking everywhere!

Awww, that makes me happy and sad at the same time, we had to give up one of our dogs about 6 months ago for the same kind of reasons, it was one of the hardest things EVER! So glad VIesa has a great family now 🙂
I made white sangria for the Super Bowl, not sure what else is on the menu, probably something on the grill, but not too concerned about it as long as there’s sangria in my glass 😀
that sangria sounds AMAZING
Vies is a gorgeous dog!!! She looks so happy too, thats reassuring. It’s nice to find out that a pet you had to give away is truly happy with their new family.
Those noodles look interesting, I’d try it! But for some reason I thought you made them with a special bean spiralizer, j/k.
awwwww vies was so happy to see you 😀 sooo cool that you can go visit her!
I was planning on making a few things for game day, but my SI joint is telling me I can’t :l BOO!
those bb noodles sound like something I need to try! will have to run by WF this week
Vies is a beautiful dog! What breed is she??
shiba inu
Vies looks so full of joy. I bet it made your heart so happy to see her!!
YUM! I cooked my quinoa in almond milk with cinnamon and it was delicious. But PUMPKIN would have been an amazing addition, thanks for the idea. As for the s-bowl, don’t care but am sort of being forced to watch since my boyfriend is a big Packer’s fan.
So glad you got to see Viesa last night! 🙂 how wonderful that she is doing so well!
I haven’t been able to find the black bean spaghetti at any of the WF locations near me, and I look every time I go! Surprisingly, I was able to find it when I lived overseas in a small town, but not in the US in a super veg-friendly area. 🙁
We are making mexican bowls tonight: cilantro lime rice, black beans, fajita veggies, meat (for the Husband), and all kind of toppings!
Awww so glad that she’s settled into her new home nicely! I had a similar situation with a dog a few years back & now when I see him with his new family I feel exactly the same – like he just belongs there! Glad she’s happy!
Your dog is so cute!
My husband and I are having a quiet (well, sort of quiet… haha) Superbowl night here at home. I’m cooking up a whole vegan feast: roasted chickpeas, refried bean dip with organic salsa and tofu sour cream, and buffalo tempeh bites. Oh and lots of organic beer 😀 I’m excited!
Aw Vies is such a pretty girl. I got a lump in my throat when I read the part of it seeming like she’s always been at her new home. So happy her college family is treating her well.
me too, girl. it worked out in the best way possible
So happy to hear things worked out! They usually do! 🙂
Does the black bean pasta have a very strong bean taste? How have you used it? Looks like you can go Asian with it…Would it be good with cilantro, lime and Mexican spices, too?!
yup it would be good with pretty much anything <3
Holy bicep girl!
Have fun at your photo shoot and with your family! Sounds great!
And it brings happy tears to my eyes to know that Viessa is soo happy with her new family and that you are happy seeing her there and that you are in such a good place with it all. I am sooo happy for you all that everything worked out with such a happy ending 🙂
And no, not cooking. I’m going to the mall 🙂
So happy you got to see your sweet doggy!
I can’t believe the black bean pasta has 20g protein???? WHOA. Must look for that one next time. Thanks for the heads up.
Along with some classics for the game I am having YOUR beet carrot bean patties- tested last night and LOVE! I thank you for introducing me to some great healthy choices (like snobby joes!) have a great day.
Aaw cute pics. How did she & Bella react to one another? We’re having sliders on the grill since it’s sunny & 60, southern caviar w/ blue corn tortillas, veggie tray w/ dip, & cupcakes w/ football rings. We’re excited about Glee too.
i didn’t take bell over there- she stayed at my mom’s. that meal sounds GLORIOUS- i saw sj posted a pic of it on facebook. miss you <3
Sj is a foodie too. She thought the colors were pretty. I loved Glee thriller last night.
Fantastic tip on the black bean pasta. I had never heard of that but will definitely be trying it. The protein count is amazing!
Glad your dog is so happy!
Glad Vies is doing well 🙂
I’m definately going to be on the look out for that black bean spaghetti!
