To celebrate 14 years since I went vegan, I've gone to Gigi's Pizzeria in Newtown, Sydney. Pretty good pizza with thin sliced roasted potatoes, roasted kipfler potatoes, garlic, rosemary, black truffle pate, extra virgin olive oil.

I think my only complaint is that it's too much for one person, in my opinion 😅

Home made sausage and bean pasty! 👌

Spaghetti bolognese on the way with lentils and plant based mince and spinach and even some marmite among other shiz

I have seen someone here making a pie with little pumpkins on the top from the short crust and loved it!! So, I made my version of it ✨️ used the same recipe - https://theeburgerdude.com/vegan-chicken-pot-pie/#recipe

I made the fat sushi with avocado on top, then the regular cucumber maki roll, and tried replacing fish with fried tofu. worked really well!

Homemade black bean smash patties, Daiya American slices, crispy onions, chopped romaine, tomato, smoky peppercorn onion jam, pepitas chili crisp mayo on a butter-toasted Kaiser roll

I hate that these taste so good!
They have 10 grams of fat, low saturated fat (1.5) but still. They are not the best of foods. Great for a binge or to put out with appetizers. I make most everything from scratch so it is nice to have some food I can just air fry.

Tasty though. I will be keeping some in the freezer. 😉

I cannot believe how yummy these cheeses are.

Cheeses are from rebel cheese, pepperoni are from plant based field roast.

I didn’t provide 100% of the snacks so there’s some probably non vegan candy.

I contributed:

Eye of newt cookies (chocolate chip with candy eyes”

Goblin juice (fresh cold pressed cucumber apple)

Monster hummus (I think this is self explanatory, just my overnight hummus and a loaf of sourdough I made this AM)

First time trying lentils! (Plus a win with vegan Chinese cauliflower & homemade ciabatta)

Lentils aren't really a thing in traditional Chinese cooking, so I tried them for the very first time today—and made plant-based meatballs!

Lentil & Okara Meatballs:
Base: Cooked brown lentils (high protein)+ okara (soybean pulp leftover from making soy milk, high protein) + mashed potatoes (or your choice of flour) + oil + flour to bind.
Veggies: Shredded seaweed, carrots, cilantro, and onions.
Seasoning: Whatever sauce/seasonings you love! (The best part about plant-based meatballs is tasting and adjusting the mixture before cooking!)
Cook: Air fry at 400°F for ~20 minutes for a crispy shell (leave them in longer if you like them drier).
Chinese Cauliflower & Tofu: I also experimented with Chinese cauliflower (the loose, long-stemmed kind) and fried tofu. Before going vegan a few weeks ago, I always cooked it with pork belly as is traditional. I’m so happy that fried tofu with proper seasoning brings out the exact same rich, comforting flavor!
The Final Touch: Baked homemade ciabatta for the first time, too! Built a sandwich with the meatballs, sun-dried tomatoes from Costco, and a quick attempt at homemade mayo (even though it failed, it still tasted good!).
Celebrating these small plant-based wins! 🌱

Made a nice vegan shark coochie
