Recipe!! Easy Vegan Cucumber, Avocado and Tomato Salad

-
Hey guys! I hope you guys are having a wonderful week. This week I have been out of town visiting family and friends. One of the things I have struggled with is making sure I have time to spend with my family and having time to prepare my vegan food. I am the only vegan here so often I am preparing my meal while everyone else's meal is being prepared. It is important that the food I make while here is easy and healthy.

This Easy Vegan Cucumber, Avocado and Tomato Salad has been a saving grace because I am able to make it ahead of time and it goes with pretty much anything else I am having.

It can be eaten on its own, on top of a bed of lettuce, as a sandwich filling or on crackers. My personal favorite is to eat it with carrots after a long hike or a day at the beach.

Happy cooking!

Vegan Breakfast Recipe Ideas

One of my favorite things to make in the morning has been potatoes with veggies and chickpeas. I usually also like a sauce to go with that. I also like to have this on the side and it can also be served with some tofu scramble and fruit or yogurt as well if thats what you want to eat. First I roast some potatoes in the oven then when they are done, then after I take them out I top them with nutritional yeast, garlic, and chives. I also like to use Biena ranch chickpea, spinach, and avocado. I love putting a bean salsa on top of the food as well to make it spicy and bring out more flavor. I also like to make onion bagels and I like to use with the GoVeggie or Tofutti cream cheese. I like top to my bagels with nutritional yeast, chives, and pink Himalayan sea salt. I also like to make sandwiches with the bagels sometimes. You can make some vegan sausage patties and put them inside the bagel. Sometimes I also put tofu scramble in them as wel...

See Ya Meat and Dairy!

So the new Canadian Food Guide rolled out a week or so ago and it is amazing!! Dairy and meat are virtually gone – ok, not totally gone, but close. They've done away with portion sizes and the focus is more on half your plate being fruits and vegetable and the rest being healthy proteins and grains. This makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. To be truthful, I didn't actually think it would happen. They have, of course, had a whole lot of opposition from groups who make their money off meat and dairy. I am so impressed and proud that this new food guide came out regardless. So, so overdue. I think back to the food guide that I was taught in school so many years ago. We were taught that it was the right way to eat – the only way to eat and be healthy. It was so wrong. Three to four servings of milk for teenagers, as well as two servings of meat. As a teenager, and well into my adulthood, I consumed monstrous quantities of milk. I sometimes had two or three large glasse...

Quick, Healthy Plant Based Meals

During the week, you may want to make quick, but flavorful vegan meals. I have a few awesome suggestions for weekly vegan meals. First off, one of my favorites is ravioli, but it can be made with a healthier twist. The brand rising moon has a  lot of good flavors to choose from such as butternut squash. The brand also has other flavors including garlic and roasted veggie as well as spinach florentine. For this meal, you can put any sort of plant-based sauce. Sometimes I use a tomato based sauce, sometimes I use a red bell pepper based sauce. or I may also use a homemade white sauce. For a white sauce you can blend cashews, garlic, and any other spices you want to create a creamy sauce. I also like to have some veggies sauteed on the side for more health benefits. It can also be helpful to have some frozen things if you are extra busy like myself. The brands Sweet Earth, Beyond Meat,...
