April’s Vegan Meals: Part 4
Here are the last of my foodie photos from the month of April. I was really happy to be completely vegan for four months. I’m keeping with it, even though it is driving my family crazy.
This crazy tasty meal was indeed ALL vegan! I had a veggie burger, pasta salad, pickled okra, and baked potato wedges. Seriously, completely, and entirely vegan.
I had a little pasta salad leftover, so I added in some capers, artichoke hearts, capers, and my favorite pasta sauce. I also ate it cold, I love tomato sauce cold.
I made some Baked Panko Breaded tofu-sticks, roasted cauliflower, and Jasmine Rice. The kids even tried a tiny bit of Tofu, and they kinda liked it. I loved it, and I will be making this again.
Our favorite grocery store has been running some crazy deals on fruits, veggies, tofu, and vegan cheese. We picked up a pretty big watermelon for just a few bucks. It was delicious.
Avocados were also on sale, and I bought as many as the deal would let me. I made a super simple all green salad of Artichoke Hearts, and Avocado. My goodness, this was good. It is also getting way too hot to cook in Kansas, so I am always looking for a cool dish to throw together.
Well, May is in full swing, the kids are out of school, and I basically live in the kitchen. I occasionally get out of the house to go to the grocery store. Oh goodness, this has been a long month already.

April’s Vegan Meals: Part 2
Here are a few more photos of the vegan meals from my kitchen. I think I took way too many pictures in April.
Vegan lunch to go
I had to be at the schools extra early for an early out day, so I packed along a wrap. It was pretty darn good.
Some nights call for an easy, throw together dinner of whatever is vegan in the fridge.
Rice and Lentils = perfection
Salsa smothered Burritos
o.k. so this is the first vegan meal I won’t be making again… I made some rice and lentil cakes that I pan-fried, and they were way too greasy for me. My stomach just can’t handle it. It was the first Pepcid that I had to take in over one hundred days though…
Homemade vegan bread
Vegan Mac & Cheese with Kale and Corn
Homemade vegan baked beans
Homemade Vegan Apple Crisp, this was a fantastic dessert, and breakfast too.
