Good Friday Vegan BBQ With the Family

I thought we would use Good Friday to test out the all vegan cuisine with my family as we don't eat meat on that day anyway. I am happy to report it was a great success!

On the menu:
Pumpkin Salad
Chickpea Salad
Burgers (chickpea and lentil/Fry's hamburgers (omgdelish) and Syndian vegetable patties) with tomato, avocado, lettuce, hommus and avocado
BBQ vegies (corn on the cob, mushrooms, zucchini and capsicum sprinkled with some stirfry seasoning)






And of course, appropriately themed cupcakes!

Stew? Ok.

My Mum and Nana used to make a HEAP of stews when I was growing up so Im not sure why Ive never made them.

They're not exactly my favourite kinda meal but I admit they're a great way to pack a whole bunch of vegies and goodness into a bowl that is relatively tasty (if you're doing it right).

I cant remember exactly what went into this one but it was something like...
Potatoes
Sweet potato
Onion
Zucchini
Lentils
Corn
Garlic
Vegie stock
Spices - smoked paprika and chili were in there but not sure what else now!

It was pretty good. Didn't use a recipe so wasn't expecting greatness :P

I Love Leftovers

I think this was left overs from my first attempt at tacos.

Leftover 'meat' mix
Broken Taco shells
Avocado
Tomato and cucumber
Hommus

Scoop and Eat :D

Wrap it up

Another lazy day at work...

Wholemeal tortillas
Avocado
Tomato
Pepitas
Sunflowers
and this delicious bruschetta mix that I found at IGA

Sorry for the dodgy pics...

Excuse the iphone pictures but all the lunch pics at work are taken on them!

This was some delicious soba noodles with a little garlic and sesame oil tossed with snow peas and baby spinach.

Very simple. Very tasty.

And you thought the last one looked bad...

I know this looks foul but its sooooooooo delicious.

Everything I make the chickpea gravy there is always a heap left over. This night we had it reheated with garlic mushrooms on some toasted seedy bread. So. Good.

Punk Rock Chick Pea Gravy is My New Addiction

I seriously CRAVE this stuff. You can find the recipe here

This was about the third time made this and it gets better each time (maybe I am improving?). The nutritional yeast and lemon juice make a world of difference!

This night I served it with mashed potato, pumpkin roasted with a little rosemary and brussel sprouts with a bit of nuttlex and salt/pepper. The combination of flavours was perfect. This will be great in winter!
