March’s Vegan Meals: part 3

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.

 

Miss Mia

Miss Mia passed away last night. The venom from the sting was just too powerful for our little chihuahua. James and I were with her when she passed away, and it was truly heartbreaking.

She was our mighty little guard dog, who believed that she was larger than the giant great danes up the street.

She was my little kitchen buddy that loved to keep me company whenever I was making a favorite dish of hers.

She was the kid’s very best friend. She could spend endless time playing fetch, and loved to be right there with the kids any time they ventured out into the backyard.

We loved that little dog so very much. Today we are all heart-broken as we said good-bye to her one last time. Our house is too quiet… We miss her greatly… This hurts.

 

Please Send Puppy Prayers

The last 24 hours have been pretty rough for this little pup. Last night she was out playing, and dug up a large hibernating bumblebee. She was stung several times, and went into anaphylactic shock. It was brutal. We were fearful that she wouldn’t make it through the night, but she pulled through.

Today she is trying her hardest to hang on. We are keeping her warm, hydrated, and comfortable. We are hoping that she is through the worst of it, but we just don’t know yet.

Please send some prayers for our Mia-pup and the kids too. Agnes is really sad, and they boys are really worried. We are hoping for the best right now.

 

 

March Vegan Meals: part 2

I think this is going to end up being a four part post. I took a bunch of photos throughout the month of March. I made a lot of vegan meals too.

Vegan dinner with way too many of my favorites. There is Jasmine Rice, Mashed Sweet Potatoes, Roasted Brussels Sprouts, and Kale & Quinoa bites.

I got out the wok and sauteed a big batch of cabbage and onions.

Simple but delicious. Roasted potato wedges with a side of sauteed cabbage.

Homemade vegan take-out! Veggie Lo Mien, with broccoli and snow peas.

Kale & Quinoa bites with all plenty of sides.

Super cheezy vegan pasta bowl.

A very light lunch full of raw vegan goodness.

Veggie wraps make a tasty lunch, or snack in the car when I’m running behind on lunch.

Vegan homemade Lo Mien with pickled ginger. Delicious!

Homemade veggie soup with crusty vegan wheat bread. Berries were on sale, so I added in a big bowl of fresh raspberries and strawberries.

Sometimes Agnes and I just have to have Sushi! I made this giant plate for me, and put a few extras on there for her too. She gets her own plate of vegan sushi, but then she usually ends up picking off of mine too. This batch there are some new ingredients that I was experimenting with. There are kimchi and marinated tofu rolls. Sauteed kale rolls. And Tofu with Avocado rolls. They were all delicious.

 

March Vegan Meals: part 1

I successfully remained vegan for the month of March. I have a lot of photos to share, and I’m going to do a few posts to get them all in.

I made some delicious homemade soup, with lots of chunky vegetables.

Vegan leftovers make a speedy meal when I really don’t feel like cooking.

Not Tuna Salad and homemade vegan wheat bread. The bread was fantastic. I’m finally getting the hang of vegan baking.

Chia Veggie Bake with Kale & Tofu Bites. Another odds and ends meal that I threw together.

Vegan mac & cheese with baked potato wedges and corn. I love vegan mac & cheese. I think I could eat it for just about every single meal. My family even approved of the potato wedges, so they have made it into the meal rotation.

This Kale and Red Potato Soup was unreal.

Kale Greens and Baked Sweet Potatoes. Simple and delicious.

Tofu Onion Dip and Chips, because I love junk food.

Tofu Onion Dip Rice Bowl with Kale and Garbanzo Beans. This was a filling lunch, and really tasty. I used up the odds and ends in the fridge too.

Tofu Veggie Stir-fry. Homemade take-out that was so very good. Stir-fry veggie mix was on sale at my favorite store, so this meal was inexpensive and really delicious.

I’ll have some more posts up soon. I am really running behind this month.
