Today, another installment of Will's World Famous Vegan Breakfast Stew. I crafted a new palette of ingredients and textures that turned out quite yummy.

I simmered together extra firm tofu, one zucchini sliced, and spices and herbs. I added black beans & chickpeas that had been marinating together in each other's liquid and aquafaba for a few days. I then added a LOT of nooch. Simmered until the zucchini had a nice bite to it with a hint of softness, for texture. I then plated it and topped it with several dollops of traditional hummus and Follow Your Heart vegenaise (gotta help Los Angeles small businesses post-fires!).

Does this sound interesting to anyone?

Sweet Potato, Lentil & Pesto Pasta Salad

A very satisfying meal!

One of our Vegan Easy Challenge participants shared their concern about the possibility of not feeling full while transitioning to vegan...

If you're thinking the same, here's what we suggest:

Depending on what you're used to consuming, it could take a few days to figure out what foods you need to eat to ensure you're consuming the calories you need to feel satisfied, especially if you are making considerable changes to your diet. So:

Include plant protein in your main meals because protein helps us feel satisfied and full. Plant proteins include tofu, tempeh, beans, lentils, peas, soy milk etc. There's also protein in whole nuts, seeds, as well as nut & seed butters (peanut butter, tahini, etc) which are calorie dense.

Include healthy fats like avocado (on toast or in salads, etc), nut/seed butters and some oils used sparingly such as cold-pressed flaxseed and olive oil.

Consume fibre-rich whole foods as they keep us full. Foods such as a variety of vegetables, legumes, nuts/seeds, fruits, which are also rich in micronutrients.

Try combining the above three (plant protein, fibre-rich foods and healthy fats) in most of your meals to help with satiety.

Plus, have fun with it!

A really helpful video by Derek of Simnett Nutrition. on one of my favourite channels,. Although he is vegan himself, the tips about the selection and storage of fruits and vegetables will be of interest to anyone who eats real food. There's a great recipe shared on here, for a vegan 'cheese' crumble. It's at 6:07

As luck would have it, I had all the ingredients to make #Vegan Nicoise Salad on hand. Veggies are from a CSA grown 10 minutes from my house

Skipped the oil and made the dressing out of whipped avocado. I enjoy using whole foods!

Loosely followed this recipe for the dressing. Made my own vegan tuna out of chickpeas.

Hello fellow #Vegans
An #introduction ...

I have been #vegan since #Veganuary 2019 and currently live aboard a #narrowboat touring England's canals. We are #carfree and mostly #offgrid. I love living out in #nature, foraging - especially for #tea leaves - and living a slow, as-calm-as-possible life.

My hobbies include #cooking and I share my #WFPB #VeganRecipe creations on my ko-fi page - https://ko-fi.com/stephaniejane - the food is good, the photography not so much!

I am also a keen reader and post vegan #BookReviews when I can, linked from here https://ko-fi.com/album/Book-Reviews-P5P3FNI21 (If you're a #VeganAuthor please feel welcome to tell me about your books.)

I am also a #Pigoneer and support the #VeganLandMovement.
