Vegan Taco Bean Recipe

Vegan Taco Bean Recipe

By: Megan   

  I made this recipe as a fairly new vegan. I loved tacos and there were absolutely no vegan ground beef options in any of the stores near me. I was going through a bit of a taco withdrawal and was desperate to find anything that could work for tacos. I opened up the pantry and saw numerous cans of beans and thought "hey, I could work with this." I started pulling out the beans and then saw a can of Rotel. I figured it could not be a bad idea, so I drained and rinsed my beans and threw them into a pan with the Rotel and some taco seasoning. I then spotted some rice and boom my meal was completed. Over the years, I have made this recipe in different ways and have perfected it, but I have never actually used measurements because I tend to add ingredients until it feels right, so y'all are going to have to bear with me on this one.

  • 1 can Light Kidney Beans
  • 1 can Dark Kidney Beans
  • 1 can Black Beans

Instructions

1. Drain and rinse all beans and put in a pan on the stove with a can of Rotel.
2. Add frozen corn and taco seasoning and cook on medium heat until the beans are soft.

I like to add sour cream, cheese, avocado, and lettuce.

Vegan Snacks Part 3: Cookies

Vegan Snacks Part 3: Cookies By: Megan   Cookies are one of my favorite snacks. I definitely have a sweet tooth and love all types of cookies. There are tons of vegan brands of cookies.  1. Oreos Oreos were probably the only reason I thought I could make it as a vegan, to begin with. My motto at the time was "I could survive on Oreos". I am not sure why I thought that was possible, but hey I am here and am still vegan, so something must have worked. The really cool thing about Oreos is every single flavor is accidentally vegan. Even the new Gluten-Free Oreos are vegan, which is an exciting new addition to the growing number of Oreos. 2. Voortman Wafer Cookies I know I am a bit of an old lady for this, but I think wafer cookies are the bomb. There's just something about them that I love. The brand Voortman is the only brand I have come across that has vegan wafer cookies. All of the wafer cookies from this brand that I have seen were vegan including flavors such as Chocola

My Deal With Clearance

My Deal With Clearance By: Megan            Anyone who knows me well knows that I love the clearance section. It does not matter which store I am or if I have ever been there I will find the clearance section. Sometimes I go and there are so many different products and sometimes I go and it is completely empty. However, it does not matter if I have not found anything in clearance all day, I have to go to the section in every single store. I never really started going to the clearance section until I went vegan. I always thought it was just a bunch of expired food that could not be salvaged. After going vegan, the food I wanted to eat got to be very expensive. To get as much food as possible, I started shopping for the sales. Then, I discovered clearance tags. A lot of products such as yogurts, mock meats, and veggies would be on clearance often. I learned what was most often marked down and where I needed to look in the stores on quick trips. Usually, if I find foods I like that are ma

Vegan at Restaurants Part 1: IHOP

   Vegan at Restaurants Part 1: IHOP By: Megan     In this series, I will be discussing vegan options at popular restaurants and will be trying them and giving my thoughts on them. I have always loved IHOP. I was randomly wanting IHOP and told my friend we had to go to IHOP; it was non-negotiable really. IHOP really is not the best place for vegan options. They do not have any vegan waffles or pancakes which is a bummer. I ended up getting a serving of Hashbrowns, potato pancakes, and sourdough toast. I would not say this was the most filling meal, but with not a lot of vegan options in the area, it was a nice change. This meal was very carb-filled and I could have easily gotten a fruit cup instead of one of the potato options, but who doesn't love a whole plate of potatoes?      I will start off with the hashbrowns. They were very good. I mean they are hashbrowns, so they are self-explanatory. Luckily, their hashbrowns are naturally vegan, so I did not have to do any specification
