No other food reminds me of my childhood more than pancakes. Big fluffy pancakes that, from time to time, my dad would sometimes shape into Mickey Mouse. Pancakes weren’t pancakes to me unless they were smothered in peanut butter and maple syrup. For this weeks Meat-Free Monday I upgraded dad’s “just add water” recipe, but kept the peanut butter and maple syrup.
Spanish rice, how I love it, but can rarely order it as it usually contains chicken stock. Luckily for you home cooks it’s a fairly easy dish that contains ingredients than are inexpensive and you might already have them your pantry. It’s a hardy dish that lasts and reheats nicely.
(VEGAN RECIPE) Today’s Meat-Free Monday challenge is a recipe for a delicious appetizer that lends itself to hundreds of variations. Grilled zucchini are an amazing addition to nearly any sandwich, salad or even al a carte. The marinade is really what will set your zucchini apart from the rest. In this recipe, I used an Argentinian sauce called Chimichurri. It’s a little spicy with a lot of garlic and parsley flavors. The white bean puree is used here as a spread. This puree can easily be turned into a dip, filling, or even soup. It’s also a wonderful mashed potato replacement! — Global Animal
(VEGAN RECIPE) It’s BBQ time again for this week’s Meat Free Monday challenge. Don’t miss out on a chance to make these amazing BBQ paninis. I just made them for some friends at a party the other night and they were such a hit. I had to make more! Don’t be afraid to experiment with different dipping sauces like ranch or chimichurri. Enjoy! — Global Animal
(VEGAN RECIPE) Do you love sandwiches? This week’s Meat-Free Monday meatball sub is one of my favorite sandwiches to make and one of the simplest. You can use store bought vegan meatballs or make your own. You can also use your favorite jarred marinara sauce and just zing it up a little by adding you own herbs and spices. The bread is also a very important factor. Luckily fresh baked bread is usually easy to come by at your local grocer. What’s your favorite veggie sandwich? Or non-veg sandwich that you would like to see veganized! — Global Animal
