Cinco de Mayo as a vegan

Happy Cinco de Mayo!

When you think of the anniversary of the Mexicans winning the Battle of Puebla, what comes to mind?

For me, it's food, food, and did I mention food?

You will meet few people who love Mexican food more than I do. One of my favorite things about Mexican cuisine is how easy it is to make it vegan and on Cinco de Mayo, I don't need an excuse to load up on it.

I made taco bowls for lunch today from cooked quinoa, lettuce, tomato, red bell pepper, salsa, and a chopped black bean burger patty.

The salsa I used is the Tostitos original one. I grew up loving Tostitos products and I'm super happy that I don't have to give them up to live this lifestyle.

My go to black bean burger patties are from the brand "Gardein", which makes plant based imitation meats 100% vegan and all of them that I have tried look and taste like the real thing and are quick and easy to prepare and I absolutely love them.

What vegan Mexican foods do you like? How did you celebrate Cinco de Mayo?

Product Review: Seneca Original Apple Chips

Occasionally, I'll buy or be gifted some new products to try, and a big source of said products I try are airplane snacks. I know a few flight attendants, and I also know a few people who travel a lot because of their jobs but don't work for an airline. American Airlines is through the roof when it comes to both healthy and not so healthy vegan snack options, and the options, especially in first class but probably also in main cabin, rotate seasonally and are ever changing. My travelling friends and family bring home some of those items for me to try and see what I think of them. Some I have liked and some I haven't. One of the products I've been introduced to this way is Seneca Apple Chips, original flavor. I wouldn't rank them quite at the top but I would absolutely not rank them at the bottom either. This post will cover my thoughts regarding the taste, nutritional profile, and what I'd be inclined to do with them. What I like about them Not greasy or me

Keto vegan mac and cheese

I know what you're thinking as you're reading the title. Huh? Keto mac and cheese? Are keto and vegan even compatible? I'm here to tell you that keto mac and cheese is possible and keto and vegan are compatible. And I'm also here to tell you that you are not dreaming. This is reality. How is that possible? The base ingredients in this recipe are zoodles, white vinegar, whatever oil you choose to use, and nutritional yeast but if you want, you can add other seasonings and vegetables. I added hot sauce, green onion, and tomato because I really like them in my mac and cheese but you do not have to do that. The tool that makes low carb noodles possible is the spiralizer. This is not sponsored but I really like the OXO brand handheld spiralizer. It's super easy to use and, provided you won't get in trouble for having a blade on you, you can take it anywhere. I don't really measure ingredients for this recipe so I cannot really give measurements. Without
