That's a Wrap!

Arguably my second favorite food after sandwiches, wraps have been my current lunchtime go-to. This past week I made quinoa wraps with sauteed mushrooms, roasted peppers, greens, and a miso dressing. The dressing is what ties it all together really, but that recipe is for another post.

Today I had the day off (a Saturday off work?!), and took advantage of the ability to 1. cook a hot meal and 2. photograph the shit out of it before chowing down.

This one was a riff off of Healthy. Happy. Life.'s vegan breakfast burrito. Instead of spinach, I blanched some kale and tossed it in with the tofu (sauteed in tumeric, cayenne pepper, and minced garlic). Then I topped it with Daiya's vegan pepperjack, roasted red pepper, and cilantro.

Fucking yum. Vegan cheese doesn't melt as quickly as regular cheese, but it also doesn't stick to the skillet as much. I also can't make wraps look as pornographic amazing as Kathy from Happy. Healthy. Life., but it's a start.

Going vegan has been one of the best things I could have done. Sure, I still drink too much alcohol to reap all of the benefits of being vegan, but I'm going to play the "Whatever, I'm young" card. I feel healthier, and being able to have the will power to not eat cheese or cupcakes feels empowering.

Also, my mom has been surprisingly supportive. She used to hide meat in my meals during my vegetarian stint in high school (don't hate her, I don't blame her for worrying about my protein intake during those years), but now she always finds a delicious vegan dinner recipe for when I visit home.
