Today, it was 72 and sunny, so I haven't been scheming, planning, and creating, as I had anticipated in preparation for a day like Sunday -- National "Meatout" (see the Perpend Daily section of this blog). I promised you an overview of what we would be eating on Meatout Day; instead of the new, we've returned to some favorites.
For Brunch:
Check out this post. The hub loves sandwiches, particularly the breakfast variety; thus, I'm planning to do a variation on this sandwich with butternut steaks instead of tofu and oatmeal bread (see recipe) instead of the sweet potato rolls. We'll also have rosemary and garlic mixed potato homefries (recipe posted in various other entries on the blog), and either a fruit salad or fruit muddled beverage.
For Dinner:
So many ideas...but the hub enthusiastically requested the VwV Pad Thai (as posted here on another blog). Can't turn down such a heartfelt request for "Meatout" now can I? That dish alone will be a complete meal, but we'll also be making strawberry ice cream with our frozen summer-picked strawberries that we've been saving for a special occasion and coconut milk (using standard manufacturer instructions).
Hope you'll join me on Sunday for an animal-product free day -- be inspired by the produce at the farmer's market or grocery store this weekend or by this blog or any of the many other inventive and delicious vegan possibilities! If you are craving a particular veggie or type of dish, please leave a comment with this request, and I'll try to direct you to your tummy's desire!
MEATOUT 2011 -- SUNDAY, 3/20! As my apron says and I passionately agree, VEGGIES ROCK -- celebrate these and other plant-based delights this Sunday!
