Counter veggies/fruit:
This is my stuff that is waiting to ripen and non-refrigerating veggies and fruit: tomatoes, bananas, kiwis, onions, avocado, shallot
So, as you can see Vegan's don't eat crazy food (with the exception of TVP!!). Everything else you probably already (or should) eat anyways.
Now I'm hungry.
Also, as mentioned earlier World Vegan Day is this Sunday, November 1st. Here are some easy food ideas that you probably already have the stuff for:
Breakfast: toast with jam and fruit, oatmeal with fruit, or some cereal with an "alternative" milk (if you are so inclined to go buy some)
Lunch: veggie wrap with hummus, green smoothie, soup, veggie chili, some whole fruits or veggies
Dinner: Stir fry, tacos with refried beans instead of meat and guacamole instead of cheese, burritos, fajitas with portabello mushrooms instead of meat, soup, chili, any type of pasta with lots of veggies and a marinara sauce, homemade garlic bread (olive oil, parsley, garlic on some crusty vegan bread)
Well, those are just the first things that popped into my head. Some snacks could be apples with peanut butter or you could splurge and buy the coconut milk icecream (pretty sure it's in any grocery store) and be amazed at the goodness of it.
You could also go out to dinner, sushi restaurants are great, as well as Indian or Ethiopian ones. Italian ones generally have a marinara sauce that's good too, just avoid chain restaurants as they have crap for vegan food.
(Oh, I guess I should mention in case you are a bit fuzzy...vegan means no animal products whatsoever. So no eggs, dairy, meat, gelatin, whey, and any other million animal byproducts. Further, no leather, wool etc...but for the purposes of World Vegan Day I would say no eggs, dairy and meat is sufficient.)
Well, that's all for me tonight. Tomorrow I'll post a great hummus recipe and a new pasta one.
