Day 148: Red Beans and Rice (Vegan)

Original Source: My Recipes

So the original recipe for this is not vegan, as it included andouille sausage. However, that's easily modified by simply omitting the sausage altogether or using a vegan sausage instead. (I have not tried the latter and can't vouch for it, but omitting it altogether resulted in a fantastic meal regardless!)


  • 1 lb dried red beans
  • 7 cups of water (Plus an additional cup if needed upon checking halfway through)
  • 1 large green bell pepper or 2 small, diced
  • 1/2-1 whole white onion, chopped (depending on taste.)
  • 3 celery stalks, chopped
  • 4 cloves of garlic, chopped
  • 1/2 lb vegan andouille sausage (optional)
  • 3 TB creole seasoning
  • green onions for garnish, optional

Add all ingredients except green onions to slow cooker and cook on high for 7-8 hours or until beans are soft. Serve over rice and top with green onions if desired.

This is one of my new favorite go-tos. I forgot to take pictures last time I made it, but as it is cooking in my kitchen as I type this, I will likely add some this evening. ENJOY!

Day 7: Paula Deen's Jambalaya

Original Source: Food Network/ Paula Deen
FIND RECIPE HERE

I make this jambalaya/gumbo mixed thing that I created a year or two ago that my family loves. So trying a different recipe (even though this is straight jambalaya) is a bit scary. Why do all this when the final product isn't certain to be fantastic since we already love my own recipe? But... It was on my Pinterest board, so I had to give it a go!

Speaking of, you can find me on Pinterest HERE. I collect recipes there, and also post ones I already love to cook.
Everything's a Stewin'


Okay, so this is how mine turned out. (It looks a lot redder than it was.) It was good, but my recipe wins! This was extremely tomato-y and soupy. Good flavor but not a lot going on. I'll hang onto the recipe because it's simple and can quench a creole craving (sort of) in a pinch. But overall, I'd look for a different recipe!
