Every Sunday I meal prep for the week. It's usually at night since I am out but today, for the first time in a while, I had nothing planned. Yay. I absolutely abhor having to cook when I get home during the week. Absolutely hate it. It's the last friggin thing I want to do. So, meal prep it is. I am going to post some really great recipes that I have found.

This first one is going to sound really weird, but it is soooo good. If you hate dill, skip this.

I used homemade hummus in the recipe below instead of the vegan ricotta.

I will admit, I did something I swore I would never do. I pulled the little covering off the chickpeas. It makes a huge difference. Hint: rub them dry with papertowels, it helps!

This vegan parm cheese is the absolute best thing I have ever tasted. I can put it on anything.

Instead of quinoa (I hate quinoa) I used farro for this one.

The avocado dressing for this recipe is amazing. I love creamy dressings but have not found any vegan versions to make that weren't runny. This changed that.

I made a couple of new ones today, so if they work out, I will post later.

This is my newest favorite vegan breakfast treat:

Lots of ice
cold brew coffee
unsweetened almond milk
medjool dates
vanilla
cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, or whatever spices you like.

I throw all of this in my Ninja and blend it up and it's super delicious and filling. I don't add any sugar because the dates are so sweet.

The dates get ground up but you can taste their little gummy goodness bits and it's like a really good dessert.

Vegan cream cheese. Does anyone have a recipe that they love? I see some but that’s a lot of raw cashews to be throwing out if it doesn’t work. Also, one that is is plain, not fruity or vegetable flavored. Thanks.

I love cardamom. I make a vegan split pea soup with cardamom in it. Yum!

OOOOOOOHHHKAYYY - I am slowly moving back toward my mostly-vegetarian diet and am stocked up on the things that make me feel full.

I ate the last of my chicken sausage tonight for dinner and I felt kinda grossly full even though it was a small portion. I remember now how good I used to feel after my vegetarian meals a couple of years ago and am looking forward to not feeling so gross after I eat.

I can`t claim to be either Vegan or Vegetarian but I do try to make sure at least 3 main meals a week are meat free. I know what you mean, after a meat free meal I do feel full in a much healthier way and after meat its a less pleasant fullness no matter how much I have just enjoyed what I`ve eaten. Even when I am cooking meat, in stews, casseroles, chillies, curries and the like I have been using much less meat and chicken and adding more veggies and so far I have no complaints from my little crew.

So, one thing I sometimes miss as a vegan is biting into something chewy. Like a burger. I stopped eating any vegan meat substitutes quite a while ago, so 98% of what I consume I make myself from whole foods. And I absolutely gag at the idea of eating a portabello mushroom, so mushroom burgers are out. So I found a recipe for making seitan and let me tell you, it's a game changer. I made vegan cheesesteak sandwiches with it tonight, with a sweet potato nacho cheese sauce and I was in heaven. The best!

The recipe for the seitan is:

https://www.connoisseurusveg.com/how-to-make-seitan/

To make the broth in the recipe, I did use low sodium vegetable broth and added the following:

1 tsp Better than Boullion Roasted Garlic Base
1 tsp Better than Boullion No Chicken Base
2 tsp Vegan Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp low sodium soy sauce
1 tbsp nutritional yeast
pinch onion powder
pinch garlic powder
pinch pepper
pinch salt

The flavor was so good. So nice to have something to add to a recipe to give it more texture.
