Sunday taco lunch.

On the left, Refried beans and on the right, chipotle lentils. I just cooked some brown lentils up, drained them and then cooked them with onions, peppers, chipotle taco seasoning and tomato paste. Yummy!

All dressed taco topped with lettuce, fresh tomatoes, Daiya cheddar, fresh salsa, Tofutti sour cream and Cholula hot sauce. 

And another big sandwich!

This time with avocado. It's been so hot that it's the only food I want to prepare and eat right now.

A Big Sandwich for dinner.

Last night I just wanted a big ass sandwich. So after work I stopped by the store and got some Tofurky and Tofutti cheese. I made some olive salad too. This was so good that I'll be eating it again tonight.

Giant Vegan Sandwich and Date Cake.

Giant vegan sandwich with Tofurky slices, Tofutti and Follow Your Heart vegan cheeses, vegenaise, mustard, italian dressing, Maldon salt, freshly cracked black pepper, red and yellow peppers, cucumbers, red onions, olives, pepperoncini and romaine on a large french loaf.

My favorite date cake.

Recipe here. Substitute almond milk for the cow's milk.

A Bowl of Chili.

I was in the mood for a bowl of chili today even though it was almost 90 degrees out. It has pinto beans, soy chunks, onions, zucchini and carrots. It was delicious! I topped it with a dollop of Tofutti sour cream to extinguish some of the heat. I don't think it worked because I managed to burn my tongue!

Gardein Beefless Burger

Gardein ("garden" + "protein") makes wonderful meat substitutes which you can find in the freezer section at your local grocery store. I was able to find them at Ralph's, Vons, Whole Foods and even Target! I've had several varieties from their line of vegan proteins and this beefless burger is probably one of the best veggie burgers I've ever had. I cooked mine on a charcoal grill and basted it with bbq sauce. The texture is pretty meaty and hamburger- like with a pretty good flavor. Makes a great cheeseburger with a slice of american Tofutti vegan cheese.
