Vegan Lunch Recipe: Brown Rice and Pineapple Salad

I love pineapple. I love it with ice-cream, I love it on pizza. And I love it in salad. It's one of my favorite savoury salad fruits, along with mango. Anyway, even people who aren't cracked about pineapple should give this salad a go. It makes a lovely colourful accompaniment to any picnic table.

Vegan Lunch Recipe: Quinoa Salad with Chickpeas and Cauliflower

This is a great salad. It's great with other salads, it's great with gluten shnitzels (which I'll be serving them with), and it's great on its own for lunch. AND it's protein packed because of the quinoa/chickpea combo. Boom.

Vegan Dinner Recipe: Nut Burger Patties

This recipe is adapted from one of the Hare Krishna recipe books. I'm pretty sure it was originally vegan anyway, bless them, but I added some stuff for extra deliciousness.

These babies can certainly be eaten on buns, with a bit of ketchup and mayo and mustard, some fried onions, some sliced tomato, lettuce, beetroot, avocado... god I'm hungry. Or, if one can't deal with the idea of eating bread (that was me) One could serve it with bean salad and a roast veggie stack. DEEE-LICIOUS.

Vegan Lunch Recipe: Easiest Mixed Bean Salad

Ever had that uh-oh, I-have-to-take-a-plate-to-a-picnic-I'm-already-late-to feeling? Or even that dinner-is-in-half-an-hour-and-it's-all-beige-thus-far feeling? Who hasn't. Let's make it colourful and massively tasty, and take half an hour. This is a go-to summer salad which is great for lunch, or a side for dinner. And it's like ONE STEP SALAD. Boom.

Vegan Lunch Recipe: Fresh rice-paper rolls

You know how sometimes you're all like, "wow, I really feel like a sandwich, but I don't actually feel like bread, and I definitely don't feel like a salad." You know how to solve those problems? Instead of bread, rice-paper. YEAH. And it is actually as easy as making a sandwich.

Vegan Lunch Recipe: Classic curried 'egg' sandwich

Sandwiches made my shudder for the longest time. Ugh. They made me think of school lunches, what a drag. Hot vegemite sandwiches, curling at the edges, that sit in your bag FOR EVER. Yep, I was off sandwiches for ages. And then I remembered sandwiches and thought I'd give them another crack.

You know what kind of sandwiches I loved on the weekend? Egg. It's odd, because my relationship with egg was always a bit uneasy, and soft poached eggs made me feel actually sick. But a good ole, hardboiled egg mashed up with some mayo and curry? Loved it.

Fast forward to me no longer eating egg. Excellent decision, except for the whole missing egg sandwiches on the rare occasion I even thought about sandwiches at all. But then I discovered this recipe, and now it is my staple sandwich go-to. Thanks, online vegan community!

Vegan Lunch Recipe: Roast veggie winter salad

You know how sometimes you really want a salad, but it's COLD outside?

Well, this salad.

I'm using it to serve with dinner, but it's a good ole any time food. And it's healthy, but not TOO healthy.

Shall we begin?
