I have searched the internet far and wide for a vegan chicken nugget recipe that was pantry friendly, didn’t include beans, tofu, pea protein, and etc. I couldn’t find one so I MADE MY OWN! I present to you my McDonald’s McNuggets DUPE! The only thing not included in the MFP ingredients are the extra seasonings I added to taste (pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, poultry seasoning, paprika).

What important here is that I blended my TVP to a fine powder and added it into my wet ingredients before I added my VWG. I baked at 400°F for 20 minutes, flipping halfway. If you have any questions, I’m happy to answer them! If you decide to try my recipe, please enjoy!

* I don’t know how these would turn out if fried.
** I’m in the process of freezing them to see how they translate as a quick air fryer food, or reheating in the oven. I will update this post with what I find.

I took a meatball recipe and seasoned it with chicken like seasonings to make some nuggets! The base is TVP and VWG

I made some hamburger buns for a gathering tomorrow, and I made some gluten free buns as well! They’re also vegan! I’m very curious to see how the texture of the gluten free buns will be. I’ve made lots of gluten free desserts before, but this is my first yeasted gluten free bread.

EDIT: Adding the recipes I used!

What I meal prepped for dinner tonight! (78g of protein)

Today I learned that TVP works as a great rice replacement (for me)! I figured I’d share with you all in case you would like to consider it! The TVP is under my seitan chicken. Get those GAINS!

This jar was full on Sunday morning. It’s Monday night and they’re gone. It took me less than a minute to slice and refill the jar, so I’m loaded once more. I plan on getting so many more onions at the farmers market this weekend. I can’t believe I’ve lived this long without them. This is your sign to start picking your onions!

I’m upset that I hadn’t been picking onions sooner!!! I figured you all would appreciate this as well.

Seitan chicken, vegan cheese, and some homemade pickled red onions. It was my first time pickling onions and I LOVE them

I was a little heavy on the cornstarch. Homemade ranch to go along with it!

First time ordering bulk VWG. Let’s see how long this will last me!

My squash, eggplant, and tomatoes were all free courtesy of a coworker

TVP taco meat with cheese and homemade-ish tortilla chips as well

TVP taco ground with onions, cheese, and salsa

I’ve never enjoyed overnight oats so much. Adding soy milk instead of water really added something special to my simple brown sugar cinnamon oatmeal! I think I’ll add chia seeds tomorrow to see if I like it. Blending is also an option I’d like to consider

I learned this week that I really don’t like store bought fake meats. I was at a hang out this weekend and my friends were kind enough to grill me some plant based burgers (before the beef ones went on the grill too!) and I took the extras home. I eat a WFPB diet 99.6% of the time, so I normally don’t eat stuff like this. What I found is that it mimics beef just too closely and it makes me feel icky. Like the taste is way too close for my liking and it’s been almost 10 years since I’ve eaten meat. I think it’s the irony/heme that some companies use in their products.

Anyways, here’s my double cheeseburger with onions (I wanted to get rid of them which is why I made a double cheeseburger. I’ll be back to my own homemade meals tomorrow 😭 💜).

Also, just to clear up any questions that may arise, I did see the packing so I know for sure these weren’t beef. Thankfully I have great friends who wouldn’t do that to me.

Creamy, cheesy, and buttery (all vegan ofc)

I can’t remember the last time I had tofu! I’ve been waring nothing but seitan for the past month or so, so this is great. I tried a new cheese too. It melts really nice

I’ve never dyed fabric before so I wanted to get some guidance. I have 5 yards of this 55% linen / 45% cotton fabric that’s a light blue. The plan is to make a matching lounge set. The pictures I added unfortunately don’t provide the best depiction of the true color. I have two bottles of Rit Dye (1 charcoal and 1 black). I’m wanting to go for a dark charcoal or black. I’m not too picky, as I know that most shades of grey and black work well for me.

Do I have enough dye? How much do I really need? (I wish Rit included yardage information alongside garment information!)
Is it possible to dye it with room temperature water given the fact that it’s all natural fibers?

I’d appreciate any and all advice. Thanks!
