This week we explore some dishes that can be eaten at home or taken with you when you’re on the go. Now that we are emerging from lockdown it’s time to get out and enjoy the summer so if you can, pack a picnic lunch or dinner and go exploring. Don’t forget to share pictures of your picnic creations on Instagram and Facebook and tag @veghead.ca.

These fritters are an Indian inspired dish and they’re super versatile. You can eat them as is or as a burger, and they’re easily transportable if you’re going to a post pandemic picnic.
Snacks & Desserts
Protein Energy Bites
No bake energy bites are a perfect snack or dessert. Take them with you when you’re on the go for a protein boost or when you need a little energy to get through the afternoon.
The shopping list is broken down by meal for ease of use. We try to include recipes that use the same ingredients more than once so that you don’t end up with food waste. Because of this you’ll see that if an ingredient in the breakfast recipe is also in the dinner recipe it is only listed once. Let us know if you like this way of laying out the shopping list or if you have a better suggestion. If you’ve been following along for a few weeks you’ll notice that many of the ingredients are things that were used in weeks past.
