Radishes (Recipe)

Egg Bake Food Nest

I wanted to make some sort of hummus with all those (damn) chickpeas (and truth be told, I still have a good portion of them in my freezer), but a chickpea smash came across my feed before I could google...
Vegan Mushroom Gravy (Recipe)
Vegan Mushroom Gravy. Also, I learned the word slurry (which has nothing to do with your drunk uncle) ((or your drunkle)).

((It's a waste of vegetables!)) ((I mean...)) It's a vegetable stock!
Chili Powder (Recipe)
Melissa is confident there is a cheaper, faster way to acquire chili powder. Melissa is further convinced she's got a shaker-full already sitting on her counter. Melissa makes a homemade chili powder anyway. Melissa is a good sport about it all.
Mango Fruit Paste (Recipe)
Melissa makes a mango fruit paste (from dried mangoes; that were soaked in water; then rehydrated -- then pulverized). ((Melissa doesn't know who she is anymore.))
Baked Tofu (Recipe)
Really Melissa? Baked tofu?
Black Bean Mushroom Burger
My second attempt at a black bean (mushroom) burger (h/t: not vegan) ((h/t: put an egg on it)), meal prepped with sautéed mushrooms and onions, and a plant based potato salad made earlier in the week (all vegan) ((h/t: put a plant on it)).
Vegan Potato Salad
Potato salad!!! YAAYYY!!! ((A vegan, plant-based, mayonnaise-free, potato salad, but a potato salad nonetheless.)) ((YAAAYYYY!!!))
