I’ve been vegan for about 12 years (13 in January) after reading some discussions on Reddit about the theme, they hit me really hard after a beloved dog companion passed away.

I make pb&j daily, since it’s so easy and yummy. I often eat beans and rice, fried rice, the most varied curries and farofa!

    Its been a little over 5 years for me now.

    For the past month or so I’ve been making Pad Thai that I’ve been calling Pad Italian because I use tomato paste and lime juice instead of tamarind paste since I’ve never been able to find it and I use spaghetti instead of noodles because I can’t find noodles that don’t have egg in them. I also swapped out tofu for lentil “tofu” because tofu has gotten so expensive here.

    Another one I’ve been loving recently is gardeners pie

    I undercook lentils in veg stock then use that stock to boil some frozen veg. Then use that stock to make gravy. Blend a tin of chickpeas and mix everything together with spices/seasoning. I find thick gravy and blended chickpeas help keep the lentils sticking together so it doesn’t all completely fall apart when I go to eat it.

    Boil some potatoes and sweet potatoes together and mash them and put them on top and then bake it in the oven.

    One of my favourite desserts is a no bake brownie https://rainbowplantlife.com/no-bake-nutella-fudge-bars/#wprm-recipe-container-6608

    I’ve adapted the recipe a bit, I switched out hazelnuts for a mix of whatever nuts and seeds I have and I’ve swapped the dates for raisins with a bit of water since there are rarely ever dates in stock where I shop. I heat it up in the microwave before I eat it to melt the chocolate a bit.
