Veggie + Southern = TLA

Between the babies, The Hubs surgery (minor, he’s fine), and the beginning of a hurricane, it’s been a busy week.

But, oh - I am totally on a mission.

Like many people these days, I got what I thought was a brilliant idea – only to Google it and find out it was (of course) a concept that already existed: Vegan Soul Food. But that’s ok. I need some inspiration and so far, I see some things that could stand improvement. So this is going to be a little side project of mine, to turn my favorite southern cuisine into equally delicious vegan dishes.

I’m sure it was inevitable, but I think what really got my wheels turning was a version of Macaroni and Cheese that was better than boxed – but nothing like what I can make of the ‘real’ thing. The Boys said they loved it, but it was no where near my standard.

In the rush of things, I didn’t get a pic of the dish. But I never posted my Mexican Stuffed Peppers from a few days ago…so here’s a random image of that!
 
 

Also, I mentioned to a fellow (only) Vegan friend today, I feel like I’ve got enough of a handle on ‘meals’ for now, I definitely need to start experimenting with sweets more. I haven’t dove into the cookies yet and thankfully Halloween is pretty much canceled here this year (thanks, Sandy), so the chocolate isn’t completely in my face 24/7. It is getting more and more difficult, though to not break down and eat fist fulls of Snickers and Almond Joys. So next weeks shopping list: chocolate, chocolate, chocolate!
