There are some good vegan cold cuts out there, but I suppose some of the same questions with standard cold cuts apply - what actually goes in them? The answer is probably better on the vegan side, but isn't it nice to make things from scratch? So here's a lunch favorite:
Recipe
Notes
I like to do 2 cans of chickpeas to feel set for sandwiches for a week or two! There aren't a lot of specifics on how much veggie to add in, so use your judgment, but just don't overdo red onion...
What is freekeh? Why did we have half a pack to use up? I don't have the answers for you. But found this recipe and here we go:
Recipe
Notes
Turns out, freekeh is pretty good! It has a nice smoky flavor that went well in this eclectic dish. Successfully used it up and had a delicious dinner and good leftovers... Is more freekeh in the future?
OK so Anne & I eat a lot of southwestern food. And who can complain? Burritos are delicious, and we're in the right region for it to feel authentic (even the vegan version). But when I saw this recipe, I thought it was worth trying for something New England-y...
Recipe
Notes
While I wasn't convinced I was eating authentic New England clam chowder, I was pretty happy with how this came out. It was a bit on the thick side, so might try less flour or cook time.
Not always a soup fan, but had this recipe saved for a bit and took advantage of the recent cold spell to give it a shot!
Recipe
Notes
This was another one that exceeded expectations! The partial blending really helps make it thick and delicious. We kept going back for more:
We've been on a bit of a crockpot kick recently with some favorites like Beyond Meat Chili or Kung Pao Chickpeas in the regular meal planning rotation. That said, don't want to overdo them and have them get old, so always on the lookout for new options. This one looked worth a try:
Recipe
Notes
This one came out unexpectedly kick-ass. Was very glad I doubled it up and will be eating scoops of this for a little while... Seriously, it smells so good (with the taste to back it up) that I haven't paused long enough to take a picture the first time or even with a couple rounds of leftovers.
One of my observations about vegan eating is, in a lot of cases recipes can just get complicated. Whatever else you think about it, there's a simplicity to meat + starch + veggies. So I've kept an eye out for good ways of getting a simple protein on the plate, and letting us be flexible or creative with sides. So with that in mind, I thought this eggplant recipe was worth a shot:
Recipe
Notes
Woop this one was really good! We've done it a couple times with coconut rice (basically sub coconut milk for half the water you'd use) and sauteed veggies. It takes a little time, but not all busy. Craveable and filling!
Kicked off the Thanksveganing day of cooking and eating with a bit of a dabble into baking - this recipe seemed worth a shot!
Recipe
Mash up the tofu. Mix up the dry ingredients (flour, sugar & powders), then add in the tofu. Keep working it until it comes together and stops being crumbly (a couple minutes). Roll the dough into a long snake and cut into 8 pieces, and curl them into rings.
From here, you can fry or bake (375 degrees, ~15 mins). Meanwhile, melt your chocolate topping and dip the finished donuts.

T-giving bfast for the coffee drinker in the house... |
Well this one has been on the backlog since Thanksveganing...
Recipe
Start the day before by making a batch of vegan biscuits - Pillsbury Southern Homestyle Buttermilk Biscuits are highly recommended (and vegan, despite the name). Leave them out overnight to get crusty.
Notes
This dish really stole the T-giving show. And I feel a little sheepish about it, since the biscuits and chorizo came out of a pack... but totally worth it :)
