10 Easy Recipes for Memorial Day

 

Memorial Day vegan recipes nutfreevegan

Memorial Day weekend is coming up in a few days and if you’re like most people you’ll probably get together with some friends or family and enjoy some delicious food. In the midst of all that celebration it’s really important to take at least a moment to remember that the holiday exists to honor men and women who fell in battle, serving their country. That kind of devotion is something that deserves immense respect.

It’s Thursday right now, and you might be trying to figure out what you’ll make to take to that picnic or backyard barbecue or whatever gathering you’ll attend or host. I have ten recipes linked below that will make deciding a little easier. They range from appetizers to sandwiches—if that’s what you consider a vegan “hot dog”—to dessert, all of them are very easy to make—some even on the grill wherever you’re going instead of in the kitchen beforehand.



I don’t expect I’ll be heading anywhere this Memorial Day; I’ll probably spend all three days of the long weekend working on new recipes and crossing my fingers about my wife’s book, which is with her agent and ready to go out into the world. But if I do end up heading to a neighbor’s house or into Manhattan to enjoy the day with friends, I’ll definitely be bringing one or two of the dishes I’ve included in this list. There’s something for everyone here, and I get no greater joy than sharing food I’ve made with people.

Have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend, everyone! Stay safe and have fun.

Hi there! 👋 It’s been quite a while since I’ve posted. Turns out training for a marathon takes just about all of your effort. Who knew? But I’m back now with what I hope will be the first of consistent weekly recipes (at least until the next marathon 😂).

This one is for Baked Tofu and Baby Bok Choy. It’s SUPER simple and takes very little effort. Plus it’s totally versatile too; you can serve it with rice, with noodles, or even in a soup—whatever you’re feeling on the day. 

I used @nasoya’s extra firm tofu here because it’s non-GMO Project verified, USDA organic, cholesterol-free, gluten-free, and preservative-free. All the things I look for when buying products these days.

I’m so happy to be back sharing recipes and can’t wait to pit a few more out there in the upcoming weeks!
Happy #Veganuary! I love this month because so man Happy #Veganuary! I love this month because so many more people are trying out the vegan lifestyle. That means a lot fewer animals on plates, which is great for a whole bunch of reasons. If this is your first foray into eating this way, let me help. I’ve put together ten really easy to make, really tasty recipes to get you started. There’s something for every time of day, and if you build on this list with some of the other myriad resources out there you’ll be set for the whole month! The link to the post is in my profile.

I’m also here to help in whatever way you need, so please do DM me if you have any questions about going vegan for Veganuary. Happy eating!
Yes it’s 60 degrees in New Jersey in December 😬. But that’s still comfort food weather to me, and nothing fits the bill better than this Beefless Beef Stew with @gardein Beefless Tips—a long-time reader favorite on the NFV website. It’s hearty and totally delicious. Grab the recipe link in my profile and enjoy!
We have a wonderful ramen restaurant here in our t We have a wonderful ramen restaurant here in our town of Montclair. They offer a vegan version they is out of this world. But whenever we order from them Laura and I are equally, of not more, excited about the edamame they serve: it’s tossed in chili oil and charred. So amazing. Of course I had to take a shot at recreating it for the site and this Chili-Charred Edamame recipe was born. It’s great as either an appetizer or a snack! Check out the recipe at the link in my profile.
