Well since I have been so lazy about posting it's about time I get started. Let's start with the Mac`N`Cheese`N`peas, because its the easiest. Sorry, non-vegan, but it is vegetarian, and I am only partial vegan (I bet that phrase makes some people cringe), plus there are like a hundred vegan mac n cheese recipes out there. Mine was just macaroni and cheese out of the box with ALOT of peas thrown in. It's the first time I've tried it this way and it was so crazy good. The peas added a sweet mashy complex.
My 25th birthday was November 10th. A while ago, I promised myself I would try my damndest to go vegan by my birthday. I couldnt. I tried, but many would say not hard enough. At the very least I saw fitting to have a vegan dinner that night. My boyfriend Chris made it for me. It's wild rice and and a butternut squash with cinnamon brown sugar apples in the bowl of it. He said it dinner and dessert in one!
Then this last one, while not vegan, can be easily veganized, but was still ridiculously tasty. It's just macaroni and cheese from the box, half a packet of taco seasoning from the grocery store, a sprinkle of Lawrys (not neccessary but I did it anyways), a can of corn and some quick soak black beans. VOILA!
Now that brings us to tonight, where I tried to make vegan spaghetti make-it-up-at-the-last-second sort of pad thai. I found some "Hawaiian Style" fried tofu, and I had a mushroom blend of some unknown mushrooms, and some onion. I sauteed all of that with a healthy dose of ginger, red pepper, jerk seasoning, hot sauce, and a light barely sprinkle of cinnamon. Then I just tossed it in spaghetti and oil. Pretty good!!!
