Sneaking in Vegan Meals

This year I’m still going strong with vegetarianism. I’m adding more vegan dishes to my menu. I hope to be 50/50 vegan-vegetarian by 2018.

  
Tostadas! Vegan for me, vegetarian for the family. This is one sneaky  dish that everyone loves.

 
Beans and Rice. I add in homemade salsa and frozen  corn while heating up the rice. 

 
Vegan Chili. This dish is one of my favorites. I make a big batch and freeze it for future meals. I even got my  carnivore hubby to try this one out. He said it was “pretty good”.

 
Roasted veggies, Baked sweet potato, and homemade veggie rice-a-roni. I used what I had on  hand, and made one delicious meal.
 
Last night’s dinner for me was baked sweet potatoes and rice with garlic and soy sauce. Vegan and tasty. 

I’ll post some more meals soon. I’m off to the store to restock.

2017 Goals & Resolutions

2017 has finally arrived, and two days into the new year I’m feeling motivated. I’ve made a few resolutions and goals for 2017. 

New Year’s Resolutions:

  • Tackle one grown-up task per month
  • Learn to apply make-up
  • Keep a stocked pantry
  • Be sincere to myself, don’t invite drama

2017 Goals:

  • Buy new furniture
  • Deep clean/purge/organize every single square inch of the house
  • Get new flooring throughout the house
  • Keep up with being a vegetarian, make more vegan choices

I’m also starting a year long crochet project. 

  
I’ve started a temperture blanket for 2017. I check the high temp for the day, and crochet a row. I think it will be a fun project. 

What about you… What are your plans for 2017?
