Much to my delight, I received my copy of Eat, Drink, and Be Vegan in the mail yesterday. I had been informed that it was on back-order for a few weeks, so I was pleasantly surprised by the arrival of this beloved green book. For lunch today I decided to make the White Bean Spread from the sandwiches section. I was particularly drawn to this recipe because of its inclusion of cashews--after yesterday's lunch I can't get enough of them! This was a really easy recipe to make too: I just dumped all the ingredients into my trusty Magic Bullet Blender and within seconds I had a tasty spread. I put a thick layer on a toasted oat bran pita with some fresh spinach. On the side I had some broccoli slaw (spritzed with Bragg's Liquid Aminos) and the last of the oranges.
Needless to say, I was once again quite satisfied with my dairy-free lunch. I am making a new resolution to try to enjoy at least one vegan meal per day. Both today's and yesterday's mid-day meals were free of animal products, and they were by far the superstar meals of the day. I think I'll be enjoying my lunches a lot more from hereon:) So, to all you vegans out there, or those of you who just happen to enjoy the earth's bounty, please send me your favorite vegan lunch ideas! Enjoy your evening.

I love cashews too. Have you tried cashew butter? It's so good!
Here are two ideas for fast vegan meals: http://howtogainweightonavegandiet.blogspot.com/2007/09/easy-meals.html
The frosting on my cake is from the cookbook, Vegan Cupcakes Take Over The World (many blogs refer to it as VCTOTW). My sister actually made it, and she did the coloring too, so all the credit for that goes to her hehe.
We're enjoying the weather here in Mid-Missouri as well, spring is just around the corner.
I love the name of your blog by the way. I live with an omnivore, who doesn't like tofu, tempeh or seitan, and I don't really like them either, so we are trying to move beyond tofurky in a sense as well. It hasn't been hard at all and we have created and tried more 'winning' recipes that use nuts, beans and grains than I could have ever done with any of the other stuff.
That sandwich looks fantastic! Yum! Vegan food isn't so bad is it? Especially when it doesn't involve the use of fake cheese.
I really like your blog! I hope you don't mind, I've added you to my blog roll.
*sigh* I want spring. We still have several feet of snow on the ground and just had a few more inches last night. I don't think you can even grow a cherry tree in these parts.
Hey, great blog you've got here!! Yes, "bowl meals" ARE great for lunches :0) I actually did a post a while back, regarding quick, nutritious lunches... sandwiches, waffles, pastas, stir-fry dishes... anything goes!
