great vegan meal weekend



this weekend I made a mexican chicken dish for dinner on Saturday and vegan berry crepes for brunch on Sunday, both fantastic!
The crepes were using the vegan yumyum website recipe, with some drizzled on vegan chocolate syrup from whole foods that I added.

The mexican recipe was modified from one I found online:
ingredients:
1 package fake chicken strips from trader joes
2 red bell peppers, chopped
1 bag frozen corn
1 can black beans
1 cup brown rice cooked as directed
1 jar salsa
2 TBsp chili powder
1 TBsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp cumin
2 TBsp liquid aminos Braggs
2 TBsp cilantro
2 TBsp olive oil
fresh avocado

Directions: fry the oil and fake chicken until brown. Then add the chili powder and cook another minute, then remove from heat. Apply a little more oil to the pan and fry the peppers, then add the corn, salsa, black beans, and all the remaining ingredients. After heating about 5 minutes add the fake chicken back in and cook another 2-3 minutes.
Serve over rice with freshly sliced avocado. Delish!
