I’m sneaking in this post just before the month of April is done. My goodness this was a strange month, but it went be quickly.

Here are a few more photos of the homecooking vegan goodness from my kitchen.

Breakfast for dinner, vegan style. My family wasn’t too excited when I told them I was making them a vegan version of breakfast for dinner. But they ate it all up, well not the kale & tofu scramble. I made roasted potatoes, and a veganized coconut milk French Toast. They all loved the French Toast, and asked for seconds.

Homemade Choco-coconut-chia-pudding. I had a bit of the coconut cream to use up from the coconut milk, so I added in some sugar, cocoa powder, and chia seeds to make some dessert. I topped it off with vegan chocolate chips, and it was pretty darn good.

Tofu Scramble. A month ago I was scared to cook with Tofu, now I stick it in every meal that I can.

Super-cheezy Vegan mac & cheeze. I have to say, I’m getting pretty good at making a mean vegan mac & cheese sauce out of nutritional yeast and rice milk.

Cheezy Quinoa bowl. Cooked Quinoa was my grain of choice in the fridge, so I’m seeing just how many meals I can make out of it. This bowl of cheezy-goodness was my breakfast. I’ve noticed that I crave savory, acidic, and bitter items as my vegan journey continues. It seemed that my entire life I had something sweet for breakfast, but this bowl was filling and tasty. It also quelled my savory tooth.

Veggie Patty Bowl. For my birthday my mom stocked up my freezer with lots of different types of vegan patties. I cooked up a pack for a quick meal. It wasn’t too bad. I paired the patties with steamed veggies, and some quinoa with capers too.

Quinoa with Veggies and fresh Strawberries. Such a simple meal, but so fantastic. Strawberries were on sale for a pound for just $.99 at my favorite store. I stocked up and added strawberries to just about every meal.

Messy Quinoa Sushi and fresh fruit. Have you seen those perfect Quinoa Sushi Rolls on Pinterest?!? Well my Quinoa didn’t do that. They were tasty though, but really messy. I think next time around I’ll just make the traditional sushi rice.

So if I have my math correctly I will have been completely vegan for 120 days on May first! I’m pretty excited about it. I’m going to keep going, and exploring new dishes to try, even though my family thinks I’m crazy.

O.k. so we are finally starting to feel a bit better around here. The kids are doing well, but they still don’t want to go and play in the backyard. It just isn’t the same without the pup running around with them. I’m feeling a bit better too, I’m not sleeping as much as I was, and I’m getting a little more done around the house. I know that every day will get a little better, but my goodness, I miss my dog…

I left off this post a good week ago at part two. I still have two more parts to share.

Simple boiled Red Potatoes with Asparagus. I added in just a bit of lemon juice to brighten up the asparagus. Both of these items were on sale at the store, so I made a big batch for leftovers.

Here’s what I did with some of the leftovers. I made a Tofu Scramble with leftover Red Potatoes and Asparagus. This dish was delicious and filling. Once more the Tofu was on sale too, so this was a very inexpensive vegan meal.

Sushi Bowl

You know I love my vegan sushi, but some nights I need the sushi goodness a little faster. I had pre-cooked sushi rice in the fridge, and I made a quick bowl with Wasabi Avocados, Pickled Ginger, and Sauteed Bok Choy, Zucchini, and Yellow Squash. So tasty!

Vegan Burrito Bowl with plenty of homemade Guacamole.

Spaghetti with Chunky Veggies

Simple Pasta with homemade tomato sauce. I made a big batch of this pasta to eat cold, and to transition into dinner.

I took the some of the leftovers from lunch, and made a delicious veggie soup for dinner. I love cooking items that I can make into many meals.

All things green for lunch. One of my kids (Dylan) will eat the Not-tuna-but-chickpea-salad, but none of the kids will touch my mean and green dip.

They are crazy. Mean-green Tofu and Kale dip is the best!!! Vegan snack food is the best.

I’ll have the last post up soon. I can’t believe that this month is almost over.
