Our transition to flesh-free eating is going well, and has sparked quite a different shopping list breakdown and recipe search than usual. We hadn’t done stuffed green peppers in ages, but it’s remarkably easy to combine any random foodstuff into a hearty sludge and shove it in a semipepper to bake into a feast.

These ones included black beans, tempeh (instead of rice), GimmeLean “sausage”, onions ‘n’ garlic, curry sauce, goat cheese, and bread crumbs, with ample Mexican blend shredded cheese on top. If I had to guess, I’d say the whole platter (5 stuffers total) cost about $13 - which I consider a delicious deal.

Breakfast sandwiches have also become a fixation for our Saturday morning, since these are usually our only lazy sleep-in day all week. Fake sausage can seem like the real deal when accompanied by cheddar, fried eggs and a toasted muffin. Any veggie product suggestions? Gimme!

We’ve got about six weeks before our 2nd annual muy meaty Easter dinner. Don’t think there are any veggie versions of that dish, which make it even more fun to look forward to. Que sabroso!
