Cooking for non-vegans

Last week we had company in town...of the non-vegan sort.  The goal was to make food items that would be filling and satisfying so they didn't realize they were missing anything.

We had pancakes for breakfast from a mix, using almond milk and egg replacer.  They were light and fluffy, topped with strawberries and delicious, maple syrup.

For lunch, we went with a build-your-own sub sandwich bar.  We had lettuce, tomato, pickles, onion, avocado, vegan ranch dressing, and veganaise.  To be 100% honest, we also offered our guests ham, cheese, and Miracle Whip.  I think they were relieved.  ;)  The subs were good, I love to use the ranch as a sandwich spread.  Mmm!

Dinner time was another build-your-own bar, but this time we went with burritos.  We had black beans, lettuce, tomato, onion, corn, avocado, salsa, and cilantro.  I also served cilantro-lime rice.  This is one of my simple meals that is easy to put together on a busy night, and everybody is happy because they can add whatever they like.

Cilantro-Lime Rice

Make 2 cups of rice in rice cooker.  Add 2 tablespoons of lime juice and 2 tablespoons of finely chopped cilantro. Stir & serve.  So easy!
