I looked to see if there was a thread created for healthy vegan/vegetarian recipes. I didn't see any on the first page, so I created one here. Notice I noted HEALTHY...because we all know there are unhealthy ways of eating vegan/vegetarian diet. We can share our meals and pics (if you have any) with all those who are looking to follow a whole foods plant based diet. Happy sharing ya'll! Don't forget to follow the thread!!!

@FluffyChix Yes, I was responding to the Healthy Vegan/Veggie Recipe Swap thread, thanks.

That looks so good!!! I am going to make it soon. My dh is a big sweet potato fan. The recipe calls for yellow sweet potatos. I don't think I have ever seen those. I will use what I have and I bet it will still be good. It is 49 F this morning so soup weather is officially here lol

Lucky you! I have to pretend it’s fall. Lol

I had very ripe bananas on the counter and always make something quick and easy with them. Usually it’s my banana cookies which consists of mashed bananas, rolled oats, and cinnamon. That’s it! But I wanted to do something different. Let’s do a banana bread. Soooo, I found this vegan banana bread recipe. I was kind of iffy about it due to the reviews, but mine came out fantastic! The things I changed after reading the reviews: did a cup of sugar, added cinnamon, and maybe 1/2 cup of mini chocolate chips (whatever I had leftover in the pantry) and baked it for 65 mins

Lunch today and a preview of my lunch I prepped for the week.

Chickpeas and corn cooked in a small amount of BBQ sauce, chunky cucumber, cherry tomatoes and purple onions. This bowl has a small amount of brown rice but my lunches will have fresh spinach instead.

I stumbled across a great website totally dedicated to Whole Food Plant Based eating.

How do you make your banana/rolled oats cookies? How much on your ingredients? I've seen recipes before with applesauce, but would love to know how you make yours.
