The best Vegan Recipes for your Quarantine!
With all of us practicing social distancing or full-on quarantining, I thought it would be a good time to do a little recipe roundup for easy recipes using our favorite vegan pantry staples.
I know all we really want to do in these times of anxiety, is to sit on the sofa, eat sleeves of cookies and bags of chips. But let’s be real – you and your loved ones still need to eat proper meals. However, I find the act of preparing a wholesome meal — even a simple one — can be oh-so-soothing and can bring great comfort.
If you have a stocked vegan pantry, you can make a wonderful meal out of a few basic staple ingredients like black beans, lentils, chickpeas, oats, and pasta.
Even though “pantry staples” typically means shelf-stable items, I’m going to include some recipes with veggies but for most of those, you can substitute frozen vegetables. I know that your freezer isn’t your pantry, but I also know that you probably come prepared and have your veggies all chopped up, frozen and ready to go!
