It seemed like I didn’t craft too much in February. I think I still have at least six or seven ongoing projects scattered around the house. I should probably finish up one of those before I start something new.
I’m still working on this giant granny-square blanket for Agnes.
I keep it in a big project bag and I drag it all over the house.
It is coming along nicely.
I have a little basket full of ongoing knitting projects too. I have three scarves in the works.
I love knitting with chunky yarn. This is another scarf for Agnes.
February was one of those months where I was constantly busy, but I never seemed to get anything done. I hope March will be a little more productive in the craft department.
Here’s the last of the vegan meals from February. It was a good month to be a vegan.
My Mom brought me some tasty vegan goodies for my birthday. She brought me some delicious Flax Milk, Chocolate Almond Milk (my fave), and some Vegan Mozzarella. I was a little nervous about trying out vegan cheese.
So what do you do with vegan cheese?!? I topped off some vegan pizza with it. And it was pretty good. It was the first time I had anything cheese related for well over a month and a half. It tasted a bit different, but I did like it.
I try to keep rice or quinoa cooked and ready to go in the fridge. It makes a quick lunch.
It also makes a quick dinner for when I really don’t feel like cooking another meal.
Just in case you were wondering, this was my breakfast. Pico de gallo stuffed Avocados! YUM!
Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Pasta is always a delicious dish.
Well, I still had a bit of vegan mozzarella to use up, and I wanted to hack another recipe. I was craving cheesy potatoes, and I thought I could veganize them.
It was a gooey-cheezy-success!!!! I made cheezy vegan scalloped potatoes with broccoli.
They were so insanely delicious, I ate the entire pan.
I finished up the month with some delicious homemade Veggie Lo Mien.
I have really enjoyed the last two months of vegan eating. I’m sticking with it through March. This month I’m making peace with vegan foods that I was too scared to try (or cook) and eating more fresh fruits.
Sticking with my vegan meals was very easy to do in February. I made a few new dishes, and baked some bread too.
Snack lunch is always a winner!
One thing I’ve missed is the convenience of sliced bread. I make all mine from scratch, so that way I know they are completely vegan. I made bread for myself at least once a week, but when it comes to the family it is about four times a week.
Well, I couldn’t find my favorite Kale & Quinoa bites at the store, so I decided to try and hack the recipe and make them myself. I made a big (really big) batch of lentil and quinoa base. I rolled half of the mixture into “meatballs” and the rest went into a Lentil loaf.
The not “meatballs” were awesome on Spaghetti!
As for the Lentil loaf, it was delicious aside mashed potatoes, and roasted Brussels Sprouts, but it made an absolutely amazing Vegan McRib!
Or as my plant-based brother named it the NicRib!
Oh my goodness! This really was fantastically delicious! I think you could serve the carnivores this dish without a single grumble.
I can’t get enough of my homemade vegan mac & cheese. I haven’t gotten the kids to try it just yet, so more for me.
Just when I think vegan mac & cheese is my favorite, then I made homemade vegan French-bread pizza, and that’s my favorite.
For my birthday, I made some super trendy Avocado Toast. It is really good. I also had a cup of coffee with Almond Milk.
James took care of dinner for my birthday, and that is a little tricky for me… We don’t have a lot of vegan options here for take-out. I called up Hot Wok, and they made some steamed veggies that were delicious!
I even ate all of the mushrooms. Which I usually don’t do, but my tastebuds have changed so much since going vegan, I couldn’t resist them.
Vegan Nachos are tasty, and clean out the veggies in the fridge!
Snow Peas were on sale at my favorite store, so that made for a very fast lunch.
I’ll have up part three of this post soon. Right now, I’ve got to go and make lunch.
