VEGAN BBQ ?

,

This weekend my family and I got together to celebrate my sister’s graduation from college and entry into law school. So basically that meant gather my family together and convince them that vegan food is just as good or better than a meat lovers meal ? – and they actually grew to love vegan cooking!!! Especially the beans and ceviche they say ? so here’s the deal! We got a FULL plate starting with vegan skewers (filled with marinated tofu and lots of veg and pineapple), vegan beans ( bushes beans, make sure to get vegetarian), vegan cevichè (heart of palm is our friend!), I decided to make both avo free and avo infused to please the crowd! All details for the ceviche saved to my story here, apple kale salad with poppy seed dressing, balsamic brussel sprouts, grilled corn, asparagus & LOTS, AND LOTS OF LOVE! I know you see the drink I was sipping on too! Pineapple tequila, a squeeze of lime, @lacroixwater & @kevitadrinks watermelon rose kombucha. Oh and finished the night with some vegan s’mores featuring @mydandies! The event was filled with love and watching my family actually try vegan food and love it made my day!!! hope everyone spent the weekend exactly how they wanted to – filled with love and peace! Happy Sunday and enjoy your day and stay safe!

Directions

  • Tofu Skewers
  • Drain tofu with a paper towel once out of package – dice into thick cubes season with steak seasoning, liquid smoke and olive oil. Set aside!
  • Take all your pre-prepped veggies, pineapples and skewer sticks and begin to layer them with the marinated tofu ( mix and match how you like)
  • Grill them for 10 – 15 minutes on the grill at high heat or until veggies are tender!
  • Baked Beans
  • Begin with a medium pot and heat up your oil to a medium heat
  • Add in onion and garlic and cook until fragrant
  • Next add your Trader Joe’s meatless meat ( or any you prefer) and cook according to package directions
  • Add in your Vegetarian Bushell’s Baked Beans and bring to a low boil
  • Let simmer and serve!
  • Apple Kale Salad
  • Wash your kale and beat it up with your hands by grabbing large chunks and squeezing with all your might. Sounds crazy but do it.
  • Add olive oil, salt, pepper and lemon
  • Thinly slice apple and red onion then add to the top of your salad
  • Take a handful of cranberries and add to the top of your salad
  • Next add Croutons and desired dressing ( I used vegan Poppyseed dressing from Target!)
  • Garlic Croutons
  • Chop sourdough bread into large cubes and place on a baking sheet
  • Drizzle olive oil and massage the oil into the bread gently
  • Evenly distribute seasonings and broil for about 2 minutes – keeping a close eye and voila!
  • Corn
  • Shuck corn and clean off any loose hairs (the best you can)
  • Place butter and seasonings on each corn and grill on high heat until you get those beautiful grill marks – enjoy!
