Who’s Going Vegan?

Good evening! I know many of you will be attempting Vegan 4 a Day tomorrow, so this post is dedicated to you all and to share today’s very easy lunch and dinner.

Lunch was a simple can of Progresso Lentil Soup. I love this soup, although for some reason today it tasted much saltier than normal (not a fan!).

We have some sourdough bread that was definitely at the day old state, so I chunked it up and toasted it in a nonstick skillet. There’s something so much more special and comforting about toasted bread, anyone with me?

Now dinner tonight was so deliciously satisfying while simultaneously so vegan and so easy! I began by roasting some vegetables (eggplant, red bell pepper, grape tomatoes sprinkled with garlic powder and oregano) and also some kabocha squash (misted with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkled with kosher salt). I served some roasted veggies on top of a bed of field greens and added a serving of light firm tofu (cooked in a nonstick skillet), a quarter of an avocado and a dressing of a balsamic-pomegranate-agave reduction. So delicious! I served it with a glass of half POM juice and half seltzer water.

This was such a delicious salad with the depth of flavor from the roasted veggies, the chewy tofu, the creamy avocado and kabocha, the crisp greens and the rich reduction. I could eat salads like this all the time!

Is anyone out there going vegan tomorrow? I’m interested in seeing how people like it! I’ll obviously be participating. ;) Whether you are or aren’t participating, if you have any questions regarding a vegan diet or personal questions regarding my vegan diet, I’d love to help if I can. Ask away!
