Potatoes and Vegetables as a Main Dish

Chris and I enjoyed a lovely vegan meal last night that we both

enjoyed. Unfortunately, I didn't take a photo of it. I have to get into the habit of doing that so you can see what it looks like. We used Mini potatoes sliced into about 1/2 inch slices, about 1 cup of spiralized zucchini, also known as zoodles. We added about half of a shallot for flavor along with 2 chopped carrots. We sauteed it all in a frying pan with olive oil until everything was cooked. We seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic, and parlsey. It tasted like a potato hash of some sort, only healthier than any potato hash I could think of. It was really good and super easy and worked out really well as our main dish.

Along with it we had a kale salad made from kale and lettuce from our garden. We added cucumbers and green peppers to it and Chris made a balsamic vinagrette and added pepper and garlic for flavor. I added raw sliced almonds and dried cranberries. The end result was a delicious and nutritious kale salad that I'd eat again and again. As you probably know. Kale is high in iron, vitamin K and tons of antioxidants. It's one of the healthier vegetables out there. 

This is the first meal since I have gone vegan that I put together with what I had in the kitchen and didn't follow a recipe and I was surprised at how easy and delicious it actually was. I'll keep sharing my concoctions with you as I make them as well as any recipes I find that are delicious that I can't take credit for. I've been researching recipes to make for Thanksgiving and Christmas and I'm excited to share my research with you on those as well. It will be interesting to see how they turn out. Tune in next for what we make for our vegan anniversary dinner!
