Plant-based vegan, vegetarian & flexitarian meals on a budget. Pro-health. Pro-planet. Pro-peace.
I am guessing that my island lights are lending a golden hue to this morning’s image. As I’ve mentioned before, I am not a food stylist! 😂

After a hiatus due to some gut irritation, I’m back to my giant plant milk morning lattes, accompanied by a green smoothie using Earth Chimp protein powder.

Saturday morning project - plant-based pastitsio. This recipe makes a lot. I’ll freeze some for future meals.

The kitchen remodel gives me so much more workspace, for which I am grateful.

Savory breakfast bowls to power us through the morning. Steel cut oats, topped with steamed broccoli and topped with scrambled silken tofu. We added a sprinkle of za’atar seasoning and a tiny drizzle of Bachan’s Miso BBQ sauce.

PlantStrong pancake milk, combined with canned beets, an apple, a ripe banana and almond milk and blended in a high speed blender until smooth = instant pink pancake batter!

Delicious, nutritious, and you can’t taste the beets.

It’s my hubs’ birthday. I’ve made him pistachio-studded black bean brownies with date chocolate chips for an indulgent dessert.

Banana Chocolate Chip Quinoa Breakfast Bake makes 6 servings - enough to bake it on the weekend and still have leftovers for additional breakfasts during the week.

I used the new vegan chocolate chips from Just Date. They taste like the real thing, but they’re a lot better for your health.

Children's Health Defense (CHD), founded by HHS Secretary RFK Jr, has created an imposter webpage that closely mimics a CDC webpage on Autism and Vaccines. It is nefariously seeding disinformation by presenting a seemingly balanced argument on the science supporting and refuting autism and vaccines.

Good morning! 🌞

Morning Glory Muffins are on the menu in the Cheap Veggie kitchen.

I made these plant-based by using flax eggs (1 tablespoon flax meal to 2 1/2 tablespoons of water) for each egg needed.

Vegan Pastitsio, a Forks Over Knives recipe. (I’ll put the link in the comments.)

I have an old meat-based recipe of this dish, and I’ve been missing it. This version needed the spices kicked up a bit. I’ll also make notes in the comments on how I edited the recipe. This recipe serves 10 people!

A savory bowl for Sunday brunch - grits, topped with steamed greens and scrambled tofu. I add turmeric and smoked paprika to my tofu scramble, and top with a bit of za’atar seasoning.

Vegan “Meat” Loaf, baked potato, and greens for a leisurely Saturday night dinner.

This loaf has cannellini and kidney beans, rolled oats, and lots of sautéed veggies and seasonings. Drizzled with a bit of BBQ sauce, this loaf is comfort food!

Pasta Della California, from the Veganomicon cookbook. I didn’t have kale, so I used spinach. We served this over chickpea penne pasta, with a few crumbles of vegan feta.

We are starting a kitchen remodel soon, and I’m looking for recipes I can prepare that are plant-based but require minimal tools. This Forks Over Knives recipe seems perfect. www.forksoverknives.com/recipes/vega...

Heyday Tomato ala Vodka beans, simmered with sautéed spinach and artichokes and a bit of vegan feta over chickpea pasta. Deeeeelicious!

The hubs and I tried the F U (Freaking Unbelievable) Filet at Fishbones restaurant tonight. This is a plant-based faux meat and it was quite delicious.
