Weekly weigh-in, vegan check-in, infomercial purchase

I came home from physical therapy, completely spent. I put on the television and there was an infomercial on for the Veggie Bullet. Within 13 seconds I was online checking it out.  I use a Cuisinart food processor that I received as an engagement gift. Let’s just say that if I was still married, yesterday, May 25, would’ve been my 21st Anniversary.  So the Cuisinart was an engagement gift which was easily received a year before that.

Knowing that my can of creamed corn in my cupboard could never be vegan, I looked for a recipe…I found a bunch. Whenever something is vegan, you have to remember it won’t be the same as the original however…

Forks over knives Tu-No Casserole

Forks over knives Tu-No Casserole

I made this recipe last night. Ate 2 bowls for dinner. I cooked it a little longer because I like it when then pasta gets crunchy on top. I used a full bag of brown rice pasta spirals instead of measuring out 1-1/2 cups and it was dry. I’d recommend using MORE milk and cashews for the sauce. I ended up adding a little Daiya, vegan cheese, on the top. It isn’t plant based that way but it wasnt much. Also…
