5 Things – 8/21/22

Vegan Cookout – I am kicking myself for not taking any photos of the vegan food I prepared and served today at a cookout I hosted for friends and neighbors. I don’t entertain often, probably because my house is always a mess, so I was excited to make food for my guests. See below for a list of things I prepared and served:

• Appetizer platter – grapes and oranges, dried pineapple, live well chocolate chunks, olives, and pickles
• Grapes and mandarin oranges
• Vegetable platter with hummus
• Crackers with vegan cream cheese cheese and marmalade
• Impossible Burgers
• Vegan Potato Salad
• Corn on the Cob
• Vegan mac and cheese (best recipe ever, I’ll post separately another day)
• Vegan zucchini bread and vegan pumpkin zucchini bread
• Watermelon (this was perfectly ripe.
• Kale salad (my friend Erin made sure the dressing and croutons were vegan)
• Iced Tea – we laughed that the iced tea was vegan too.

We did serve a few things that weren’t vegan. We served hotdogs and hamburgers for the kids and non-vegan guests. My girlfriend also brought sticky buns and doughnuts that weren’t vegan. I think there was something for everyone!

I’m too tired to write or post anything else!
