Welcome to my Blog!

Hello everyone!


If you are here, you probably came over from my Instagram page. Awesome! It's great to see you again. If you didn't, welcome to the world of Marjorie!

A little background on me and blogs.

I have had a blog before and gave up on it around the time I started using Instagram. I was in need of a community of feedback, which that amazing platform has provided. Now, I need a place to post my recipes because I get more and more requests for those every day.

Any sort of recipe book is a huge undertaking that I find incredibly daunting at the moment, so I decided a blog would be much more manageable. My plan is to post a new recipe about once per month.

I'm a 27 year old singer and ballet dancer. I'm the alto section leader in my church choir and I am a Teacher's Assistant at a ballet studio, where I work with all ages of girls and boys. I became a vegan over 3 years ago and I transformed my sad little  Instagram into a food post page and the rest is history.

Why am I called KnittingOpera? Because those are two of my favorite things!

Thank you all for coming over to my blog! Enjoy!

Marjorie (AKA KnittingOpera)

Shop My Pantry: Week Three

... and the last bit from week two! So my dad bought me veggie rolls at the store Saturday morning and I had to eat them before the avocado went brown... So another $5.99 added to last week. Food from Saturday night and Sunday  On Sunday my awesome friends Elizabeth and George took me to get Starbucks and treated me. It was really sweet that they did that, and I had so much fun hanging out with them in between church and choir practice. I did eat the last of the cheese noodles I had made last week and I froze the rest of the curry because I was getting sick of it. Monday's food Monday was a very long day with lots of running around from appointment to appointment to class to rehearsals. I ate some trail mix as snacks between things and some really yummy meals to keep me going. I added kale to my tomato sauce and some elbow macaroni... Such A great idea! Also, the breaded mushrooms from Dollar Tree? fantastic!!! Tuesday's food Tuesday was another day full of

Shop My Pantry: Day Two

Day two dawned cold and with a need for warmth! Breakfast was an Amy's Kitchen tofu scramble pocket with salsa. Lunch was pretty big today: two veggies patty sandwiches and sea salt kelttle chips.  Dinner was this epic tofu and veggies curry rice bowl... It was really easy to make... I just threw all the ingredients in the pot and cooked for 20 minutes. Super simple and yummy. And I have leftovers for later! Not pictured today: some vegan jerky and yogurt I had for snacks! Overall, this challenge is going pretty well. I think the first thing I'm going to run out of is tofu, but I can live with that. I'm counting this as a successful day!

Shop my Pantry: Day One

Happy New Year! Today I began my challenge to shop my pantry, a good way to use up things and not spend as much money. Breakfast today was oatmeal (which I hardly ever eat) mixed with cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar. I also had frozen blueberries and some orange juice. Apparently we have 4 bags of frozen blueberries in the freezer. Lol! Someone got excited when shopping once (hint, it was probably my mom). My pre-lunch snack was a delicious pear... I am a pear fanatic! Lunch was leftover fried rice from a few days ago and some spring rolls I picked up at the dollar store last week. They are actually really good... Much better than I was expecting. I ate them with sweet chili sauce I've had in the fridge forever. Snack was a little bag of vegan trail mix I made for Christmas. It's full of pretzels, mixed nuts, cereals, chocolate, and dried fruit. I still have about 10 of these to eat. Lol. Dinner was a bowl of black eyed peas and mustard greens
