Breakfast sandwich!

Breakfast!! Light life sausage tofu with dayia cheese on an English muffin!! So simple yet delicious! I love the light life sausage the flavor is so interesting (not in a bad way) but could possibly be mistaken for real sausage! 

It's easy being vegan!!

That's right it's not hard being vegan! A simple yet filling vegan lunch! farmers market squash, zucchini, onion, garlic and kale sauté in a pan with refined coconut oil and place on a bed of rice!! You can't go wrong!

 

Farmers market weekends!!

I just love our local farmers market I can't get enough fresh fruits and veggies!! Everything is so cheap but tastes amazing!! This past weekend we spent a whole $11 and ended up with 2 zucchini 2 squash 6 ears of corn 2 bunches of radishes 5 cucumbers 1 onion 1 garlic.. That's right is was all $11!! And a bonus Liam helped prep my raw salad!! (Recipe later) 

Quick and easy stuffed peppers!!

I stopped at racines's farm stand and grabbed a few peppers (they are super cheap 3 for $2) and decided to make stuffed peppers!! Unfortunately I couldn't find tomatoes even at the farmers market so I pulled out a batch of frozen sauce I made last summer  and it worked just as we'll and still had that fresh local tomato flavor! It's pretty simple to make stuffed vegan peppers! I boil the rice and cook the meat (boca crumbles) with local onion and garlic and a few other seasonings,while that is cooking I cut the tops off the peppers take the insides out and wash them ... When the rice and "meat" mix is ready I mix the two together. I personally don't like soggy peppers so I don't precook or mess with the peppers! I brush the insides with my tomato sauce and stuff with my mixture!! Put the tops back on brush my sauce over them and add a tiny but of water and sauce to the pan then cover  them aluminum foil  and in the oven they go for about a half hour on 350' 

Farmers market salad and slaw!

So I grabbed a few things from our local farmers market this past weekend and have been making everything under the sun with the veggies! Today I chose to make a nice fresh salad with a side of Amy's vegan minestrone soup! 

With all the left over I threw together a little slaw! Carrots,Swiss chard stalk,carrots and scapes! For the dressing  I used vegan mayonnaise and red wine vinegar with chopped up ginger,garlic, and a few pieces of kale thew them in the ninja and instant slaw dressing! Be careful with the red wine Vinegar because the mayonnaise is a bit vinegary on its own!

Weekly prepping!

So to make my life easier and meals faster I prep all my veggies for the week ahead of time! I go pick up fresh fruit/veggies twice a week and cut everything up and bag it! This week I picked up some local squash and zucchini and prepped them when I got home! It's simple and easy! Cut up whatever you are cooking with for the next few days and bag it! (I don't recommend prepping avocado  :-P) When it's time for dinner there's no prepping veggies just pull out of the bag and use! Most days I just have rice  and veggies all I have to do is grab a bag and the job is done! I find it saves so much time when cooking dinner and there's no mess! Also a bonus tip and money saver!! if your local grocery store has a reduce produce section give it a look! Our local stop&shop has a great reduce produce section and you can usually find organic fruits and veggies! I buy it for half price come home bag it up and freeze it!
