A week of vegan meals

I recently wrote about how I've gone vegan since having my son. My husband is not vegan, so I've made sure that the dinners we have every night together are not lacking in flavor, and aren't repeated nightly in order to make it exciting for him as well. I initially assumed I would be living on salads, which has never been my thing, but with the help of some amazing cook/baker bloggers out there I've been able to make dinner exciting and delicious.

I typically plan out 3, or 4 meals a week ; and then use the remaining ingredients to make up the rest of the weeks meals. The more recipes I come across the more confidence it gives me to create my own menu, knowing what works together and what doesn't.

This is how our week has looked so far, and tonight I'm using the summer veggies we have and some leftover vegan sausage with my canister of saffron to create a vegan paella, we'll see how this goes.

On Monday  cauliflower "rice" tofu scramble

On Tuesday, Sweet Potato Tacos inspired by

Every night until it was gone, Bananas Foster's Cake

On Wednesday, Tempeh meatballs with fresh linguini

On Thursday, I made a Buddha bowl with what I had in the fridge
Sweet potato, golden beets, chickpeas, leftover "meatballs"
and a tahini, lemon dressing

When the Bananas Foster's cake was gone,
I made this raspberry, lemon cake. One day
I swear, I'll learn how to frost a cake.
