Hey friends! Hope your weekend-ing is going well. 
We had grand plans for outdoor adventures this morning but with the rain and drear we stayed inside. I suppose it’s another relaxing day in for the Sound Eats household!
There’s been some pretty great eats around here since I last saw you, though. Check it out!
One of my favorite comfort meals: savory oats. Yesterday’s combination held a baby zucchini, 50 calories worth of tofu, some tomato, half a red bell pepper, 1/3 cup (100 calories) of oats, garlic powder, oregano and kosher salt with a serving of vegan mozzarella cheese (Vegan Gourmet brand) and a tablespoon of hummus to make it all delicious creamy.
Ross’ vote won the "what’s for dinner?" question of the night last night with these delicious calzones! Since we decided rather late we just walked next door to pick up some semolina dough from Publix. My calzone was filled with roasted red pepper hummus, mushrooms, black olives, spinach, some crumbled tofu and some more vegan cheeze. With the mandatory marinara served on the side for dipping and drizzling into our calzones!
Calzones are a perfect application for vegan cheese – do you see that hunk of melty goodness in there? Delicious!
Due to our filling dinner I wasn’t too hungry this morning, so we ended up having a "brunch" of sorts after Ross woke up. We made bagel sandwiches with French Meadow Bakery Hemp Bagels. Mine had hummus, tomato, avocado, spinach, dijon mustard and some vegan cheeze (which I melted in the microwave). Look at that sandwich! Tell me what carnivore in their right mind would turn this beautiful bagel-wich down!?
On the side we also had some crazy sweet and juicy fresh pineapple.
Is pineapple an amazing fruit or what? When you get it ripe, there’s just nothing that tops its sweetness!
Those are some great meals of good, sound eats. What are some sound eats you’ve been eating lately? I think I have our next week’s dinner menu down; here are some sources of meal inspiration!
- Raw Falafel with Cucumber Sauce that I saw via Ryan
- Deep-Dish Polenta Pizza that I saw via Tina (veganized of course)
- Chana Masala
- The Pure2Raw Twins Vegan Gluten Free Mac N Cheese (seriously how awesome does this look?!)
Those are just dinners! Some desserts that have caught my eye?
- Have cake, will travel’s chickpea blondies
- Happy Herbivore’s Vegan Black Bean Brownies
- Pure2Raw’s Raw Vegan Chocolate Cheesecake
- Joy the Baker’s Vegan Chocolate Avocado Cake
- Bittersweet’s Vegan White Chocolate
- Rawmazing’s Cacao Coconut Ganache Tart
Mmm, I want dessert right now! 
Of course, I have to recommend some of my own favorite creations.
- Three Bean Vegan Chili
- Eggplant Rollatini
- Super Health Nut Chocolate Shake
- Banana Oatmeal Raisin Sugar-Free Cookies
What are some of your good, sound recipe inspirations?
Looks so good!! Where do you get your olives already sliced like that? Also, I am sure you’ve explained many times so I feel like an ass asking, but what exactly is vegan cheese and where do you get it?
Hahaha no worries on the vegan cheese. This particular kind was soy based, but I have seen almond and cashew-based cheeses,although I’m not sure they’re all vegan. This brand I used was Vegan Gourmet. A lot of soy cheeses will still have casein (milk protein) in them. There’s a newer type of vegan cheese, daiya vegan cheese that I’d love to try but isn’t by me yet. Maybe in NYC by you?

Also – those black olives I sliced myself, but I feel like I’ve seen canned sliced olives before? Right by regular olives?
What kind of camera do you use? Your pictures look great! Seriously, I thought you lifted them from a restaurant’s website at first lol!
The bagel sandwich looks delicious. Thanks for the shout outs!! Looks like you have a great line up of meals ; ) Have a great weekend!!
what a great mix for your savory oats! i love the hummus in there! Can I suggest, maybe guac or plain avocado for the next one! i bet that would be awesome!!!
that would be delicious!!
I need to request that my Publix start carrying pre-made dough like this! Your calzone came out beautifully, as did the bagel sandwich. I agree, there is nothing as good as a juicy sweet pineapple.
definitely! And request that they offer the whole wheat/ whole grain dough too – that one is SO good, but they didn’t have it that night. It has wonderful grains and sunflower seeds in it – so chewy and delicious!
Ohhh gosssshhhh, I want a calzone! That looks sooo good! I may just buy some vegan cheese tomorrow at Whole Foods.
I love bagel sammies! I’ve tried those vegan black bean brownies, they are SO good!
I am a huge fan of calzones!! Thanks for posting all of those meal inspirations! I’m going to check them all out!
