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 146: MIA

I have been sadly MIA lately. I know this. Primarily, this is due to a dietary change I've been working through since April. Mostly, it was cutting out land animals, which has turned into veganizing 90% of my diet with the goal of not having to qualify that with a percentage this year.

I won't go into why here. It's nobody's business but my own. All I will say is it feels right for me.

So here forth, the recipes I post will be at the very least vegetarian... and more than likely will be recipes I've adapted to be so.

We could all do with more veggies, folks.

Hang in there!
