Last week I was so glad that Scott came in town (from NJ) and got to stay a whole week. Every time we're together life couldn't be any better. We had SUCH a fat kid week too. So good!
Some of our creations for the week were green smoothies, our own unique hummus with spinach and peppers in it, roasted brussel sprouts, mac & "cheese", sweet potato fries with a vegenaise + vinegar dip, homemade pizza (recipe below), and french toast using bananas instead of eggs!
Plus we enjoyed going out to eat ordering meals like vegetarian fajitas, tofu dishes, black bean burgers, and more! We were in Chattanooga, TN for a couple days and went to our favorite vegan restaurant there called Sluggo's North Vegetarian Cafe. Man, we LOVE that place! If you're ever in the area, you should check it out. Being from Alabama, vegan restaurants are very new to me. I couldn't even tell you a vegetarian restaurant near me.
Here's a picture of our Sluggo's feast: the MOST delicious vegan nachos, The Culture Club, BBQ Tofu Sub, garlic mashed potatoes with mushroom gravy, along with New Belgium beers. We couldn't really move much after this huge meal. Haha
And one of our healthy picnic snacks: Jalapeno cilantro hummus with sliced vegetables. (Ps- we rode our bikes to this picnic, cute right? Haha)
Homemade Vegan Pizza
Ingredients:
Already made pizza crust (or make your own!)
1 can low sodium tomato sauce
Spices for sauce: Italian spices, basil, oregano, garlic powder
Any vegetables of your choice (I used peppers, mushrooms, and spinach)
Vegan shredded cheese (Daiya mozzarella and cheddar)
Directions:
Preheat the oven according to your pizza crust instructions.
In a sauce pan, heat the tomato sauce and add your spices.
Chop your vegetables for the pizza.
Spread sauce on pizza crust, arrange the vegetables on the sauce, cover with cheese.
Time for the oven!
Leave in oven according to pizza crust instructions, and make sure cheese is melted.
Let cool just a bit, then devour!
Mmmm.
