Happy St. Pattys!! Vegan style

Today for St. Patty's we made traditional Irish colcannon but we made ours with earth balance and paired it with more veggies and vegan sausage. We made a vegan gravy with veggie broth. (make sure if you use veggie cubes you get the kind without any msg or additives) 

After my Irish feast I had some vegan vanilla ice cream topped with vegan cookies and organic blueberries. Yum Yum Yum

I always make a snack plate when I am extra hungry. I either the same salad every night with olive oil and vinegar or I make a simple veggie plate with baby carrots, cut up cucumbers and rice crackers. I always add a dollop of hummus for some protein or some vegan cheese slices. 

Vegan meatball sub recipe and dessert

For these: I used vegan meatballs I found at store. We pan fried with olive oil some mushrooms, 1 zucchini chopped, 1/2 a yellow onion chopped and some garlic. Sprinkled with garlic powder and olive oil. Heated a bit of marinara and poured it over toasted whole grain buns. You can use vegan cheese to sprinkle on the top if you like but it is not needed. 

I don't always have dessert unless it is berries but if I wan't some junk food I head to my local Whole Foods or Trader Joes for some vegan cookies and some soy or almond milk ice cream. I topped it with some flax seed and placed a chocolate chip cookie with walnuts inside. Sooo good! 

Spring is here!

Spring is here which means a few April showers, warm tea, iced tea, good movies and lovely floral blooming! I am excited to get outside and plant some new things! 

This was an awesome film! Go see it :D
