Spicy Peanut Veggies and Pasta
OK. I know that some of my posts will seem really boring. I eat pretty much the same thing every day.
I follow a vegan diet and my children are primarily vegetarians; eating cheese and eggs.
But I am truly on a mission to make vegan meals tasty and completely nutritious and enjoyable for everyone. I also, try to keep these meals as inexpensive as possible.
I realize that there is a big emphasis on inexpensive meals, but keeping them nutritious is the real challange.
Adding veggies to everything is a great habit to get into and you will find that your cravings for less than healthy foods will decrease if you’re meeting your nutritional needs regularly.
Today I have put together some of my favorite flavors; garlic, coconut, peanut , and crushed red pepper.
I simply steamed the broccoli, spinach, and garlic. When that was done I added the crushed red pepper and the peanut sauce.
It was fantastic.
You can boil whole wheat pasta and add more of the peanut sauce and toss in the vegetables for a great meal or a side dish.
Use the pepper to taste. I love things hot and spicy but you could modify this.
Enjoy!
