And Some More Stuff I Ate

This month, Memphis Vegan Drinks celebrated five years of meeting up every single month for cocktails and dinner at vegan-friendly restaurants. And what better way to celebrate than with sushi? We met at Sekisui Midtown on Tuesday night, and I started with the happy hour 2-for-1 sake and a House Salad.

And that was followed by the DJ Qualls Roll (stuffed with tempura battered veggies), an Avocado Roll, and Tofu Inari (my fave!).

Here's a No Meat Athlete Lentil-Walnut Burger with a side of Airfried Okra. I had these burgers in my freezer, so I made one on Monday night for myself, while Paul enjoyed a not-as-healthy Beyond Burger. I love Beyond Burgers, but sometimes the body craves whole foods! 

Speaking of okra, I've been getting a ton of this stuff in my CSAs lately. I also used some in the Summer's Bounty Vegetable Soup from Cookin' Crunk — a recipe I hadn't made in years! This is prepared in the Crockpot and has potatoes, okra, corn, carrots, purple hull peas, squash, onions, celery, tomatoes, garlic, and fresh basil. It's sooooo good and a great way to use up summer produce. I made a ton, and I've been eating some daily with Vegan Grilled Cheeses (made with Chao cheese and sliced tomato!).

Oat bowls! Here's a bowl of Savory Oats that I had on Sunday morning before a 3-mile hike. This has steel cut oats, nooch, sriracha, tofu, kale, sesame seeds, and mushrooms.

And here's a bowl of Steel Cut Oats with Cashew Butter, Peaches, and Hemp Hearts. So good!

Have a great weekend! I've got more random meal pics left, so I'll share some more next week!
