His sister came over for dinner two nights ago and I was feeling awful. In a few moments of strength, we went through the food cabinet to see what was vegan and what was not. The result of this was actually pretty much amazing!
The top shelf is not vegan, the stuff on the counter is vegan!
After that, we went to the grocery store to stock up on all things vegan... here's some of the stuff we got:
- apples, lemons, limes, avocados, tomatoes, spinach, lettuce, strawberries, carrots, peppers, potatoes, onions, sweet potatoes, bananas, and loads of other fruits and veggies
- black beans, honey (a touchy subject for some vegans), cereal, tortillas, vegetarian refried beans (check for lard), olive oil, balsamic vinagrette, popcorn kernels, and lots of other vegan stuff
Then, after a LOOOOONG wait in line at PathMark (where they were yelling at people to finish, check out, and leave because they were closing, but the store had only one register open) and a crash in my sickness, we finally got home.
Luckily, I could leave Gina and James to the cooking while I recuperated on the couch.
This was the deliciousness we had for dinner... white rice, corn on the cob, tacos made of vegetarian refried beans, lettuce, taco seasoning, taco sauce, and lime juice on a white corn tortilla). And water to drink!
Surprisingly delicious!
Best part was... we had leftovers! Plenty enough for lunch the next day when I made veggie fajitas (red and green bell peppers, onions, and taco seasoning) with lettuce, rice, and refried beans.
It was SOOOOOO good!
Overall, the first two days went well. I am excited to try some Ethiopian food tonight. Come to find out, vegan food is easy to find in Indian, Mexican, Asian, and Muslim cuisines! So this creative cook is so excited to try cooking with the vegan restrictions! Bring it on!
That taco dish doesn't look surprisingly good. It looks obviously good!
