This week we offer up an eclectic mix of yummy meals. With basil coming into season, now is the perfect time to try vegan pesto. It’s as good as the original so give it a try. Before that, start your day with traditional French crepes with yogurt and fruit. It might sound crazy but seasoned tofu on avocado toast is awesome. Also, the oat and chocolate chip cookies are excellent. If you’re finding value in VegHead please consider sharing with friends… and as always feel free to ask questions and send us your comments.
Breakfast
Buckwheat Pancakes
These traditional French crepes are topped with coconut yogurt, fresh berries and maple syrup.
Lunch
Tofu & Avocado Toast
Putting this nicely seasoned, baked tofu on avocado toast is a ridiculous and yet awesome thing to do.
Dinner
Vegan Pesto on Pasta with Fried Veggies
There are few things better than fresh pesto, and this vegan version of the classic is as good as the original.
Snacks & Desserts
Most Excellent Chocolate Chip Cookies
Oat flour and chocolate chips take these homemade cookies to a whole new level of yum!
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.
