Hello
everyone! Sorry I missed posting last week (I'm not that great at
sticking to a blogging schedule without Vegan MoFo!), but I'm back
now with the first installment of my adventures in trying out some
Vegan MoFo recipes from other blogs! I've already
tried three of the 21 I listed in my final Vegan MoFo post,
so I think that's some good progress!
Without
further ado, here they are...
Chickpea Nuggets
First,
I made the Kids
Lunchbox Club - Chickpea Nuggets from Vegans
Eat Yummy Food Too!!!. My
changes to the recipe: I left out the spring onions, used regular
breadcrumbs instead of panko breadcrumbs, and halved the recipe.
They
were pretty easy to make and bake, and they tasted good (though I
might do a bit less soy sauce and lemon juice next time). I had mine
with fries and baby carrots (and ketchup). I'll likely
make these again sometime.
Crack Potatoes
Next,
I made the Recipe
Urban Legends (Facebook Edition) ~Crack Potatoes~ from Tasty
Planet. This was a nice simple
recipe, and I was excited to make it since I had found a vegan ranch
dressing by Organicville!
I made a smaller batch of this recipe and used olive oil instead of Earth Balance and TVP (textured vegetable
protein) instead of vegan bacon bits). These turned out really well,
quite delicious; I've already made them a second time! My first time making them, I had them with my leftover chickpea nuggets.
The second time I had them with peanut butter brown rice and
broccoli.
Mac & Cheese Nachos
Finally,
I made Mac
n' Cheese Nachos, inspired by The
Spade & Spoon.
Mine were simpler and less colorful than the original, but they still
turned out alright. Just Tostitos scoops...
...topped with mac &
cheese (whole wheat noodles, soy milk, Earth Balance, Daiya cheddar,
nutritional yeast, turmeric, salt, pepper, garlic powder)...
...and lastly
topped with mild salsa.
In
other news, happy Indigenous People's Day!
Here's

Peace.
