Midweek Munchies

I've been back at work this week, just doing some short four hour shifts before things go back to normal next week. I am feeling mostly OK, just get tired easily and can lift even less than usual at work. But definitely progressing back towards my version of normal! But enough about that, let's look at some food.

Ever since Tofurky left our shores, V-Bites is one of the few vegan deli slices brands that is still available here (through The Green Edge). They are not as good. I have already spoken about the ham and chicken slices, but I tried the pepperoni slices recently. They were pretty good. Had a strong peppery bite! I used some of them to make some English muffin pizzas, with pizza sauce, pepperoni, FYH mozzarella, and capers. I also made some pizza toasties with them, adding in some pizza sauce and sliced Sheese.







Speaking of English muffin pizzas, I also made this one using creamed corn as the base, with FYH mozzarella and then some bacon bits once it was out of the oven. This was a very specific craving, and it hit the spot.



I'm forever looking for good snacks, forever disappointed by chip flavours. This vegan Honey Soy was just... not really anything. It was very slightly salty, with maybe a wisp of sweetness. Chips should have lots and lots of flavour in them!



Finally, just a fun fresh salad I made for lunch one hot day. It had baby cos, celery, cucumber, tofu, and the last of the carrot and daikon mandarin yuzu pickle. I used a bit of the leftover pickle juice to toss through the salad, and topped it with some tonkatsu sauce, vegan Kewpie, and some sesame seaweed seasoning salt. I also had a lovely ice tea that I had picked up from an Asian grocery store along with it.
