What vegans eat

We picked up peaches at Di Martinis and made vegan peach cobbler. 

I later grabbed some vegan donuts at whole foods to go with my soy latte. 

For dinner I made a loaded baked potato with vegan cheese, topped with avocado, vegan sour cream and green onions. This is one of my favorite low fat dishes. Sometimes I add a tiny bit of vegan butter if I want it extra creamy. It is so cheap and easy to make this! 

A few weeks ago I made mini vegan pumpkin loafs! 

Vegan Pho' Yumm! just make sure the place you go does not have fish juice! or makes it without it OR you can make your own. We make our own vegan pho' quite often. 

Vegan goodies

Last week my husband made a wonderful tofu vindaloo dish complete with carrots, spices peas, potato, firm tofu,  and onions. It is lovely to have over some brown rice. 

Later I got a vegan cookie and coffee at Peets and had a midnight snack of half a coup of vegan ice cream with a vegan cookie on top. I love the vegan cookies at Trader Joes. Yum Yum! 

Vegan spice, pumpkin pie

I think what makes this one of the better tasting vegan pumpkin pies I have made is the amount of spices I put in. I put extra all spice along with cinnamon and more vanilla. This pie was the best one I think I've ever made. I found the recipe on food network channel. Fall and Winter are my favorite seasons and I could not wait until then to make this. I used a non dairy whip cream from Whole Foods that I found that was completely vegan. Be careful when choosing whip cream because some of them that say they are dairy free still have some actual animal products or dairy in it.

Gluten free toast with almond butter and bananas

I love having bananas and simple gluten free bread, toasted with almond butter for breakfast. It is a simple and easy thing to have in the morning when I don't have a lot of time.

Vegan root beer float

I made a vegan root beer float using non dairy ice cream from Whole Foods and organic root beer. It was delicious. It isn't hard to make at all and I like to serve them in traditional beer mugs.

Santa Cruz vegan food

I went to Santa Cruz but before I headed there I made myself some raw vegan ice cream. I took two frozen bananas, frozen grapes (handful) some almond butter and a splash of vanilla and a bit of almond milk and mixed it in blender. This is so delicious! 

Vegan BLT at Saturn Cafe with a side of dressing and salad. 

Vegan cupcake.

Raw vegan fudge

This is one of the most simple recipes I've ever made. I have seen this multiple times online and on youtube videos.

All you need is 1 cup of dates (pitted)
                         1 cup of raw, unsalted Macadamias
                         a splash of vanilla blend all together in mixer/freeze for 4 hours and cut into small squares and voila! you have delicious raw fudge with no additives or unnatural sugar!

This is a particularly lovely recipe to make during summer months because it gets so darn hot! Place back in freezer after you munch and then have a few more pieces in the evening. Each piece is about 80-90 calories depending on how small/big you cut your fudge. Enjoy!
