Since becoming a mom of two kids, I find that I don't post on here as much as I used to. However, I still take pictures of most of the food I make, especially meals for the kids. I will try to at least post the pictures with brief descriptions to continue sharing what a vegan and her family eats! Please feel free to contact me for a recipe! Enjoy!

Michele's Veggie Vegan Lasagne
I have never made lasagne in my life. I've always just made stuffed shells and that's it. What was I waiting for, because this was amazing! I followed the recipe from Skinny B**** for the tofu ricotta and then just added a bunch of layers of veggies and tomatoes.
Yum. Can I have some more please?
Tofu Ricotta
Courtesy Skinny B
14 to 16 ounces extra firm tofu, crumbled
3 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano or 1 teaspoon dried oregano
3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
In a food processor, combine the tofu, garlic, olive oil, oregano, and salt and pule to puree. Use immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 1 week.
Michele's Veggie Vegan Lasagne
1 package lasagne noodles, cooked according to package
1/2 cup Great Northern Beans
1 teaspoon nutritional yeast
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1 fixed recipe of Tofu Ricotta (see above)
1 cup mixed frozen veggies
1 cup frozen kale
1/2 cup frozen spinach
1 can stewed tomatoes in their sauce
Directions
In a food processor, mix the beans, nutritional yeast and pepper. Add to the tofu ricotta in a large bowl and mix well.
Cook frozen veggies, kale, and spinach, drain and add to ricotta mixture. Add about 1/4 of the can of tomatoes without the juice. Mix everything well.
In a 9 by 13 casserole dish start creating the lasagne layers! This is how I did it:
1. A little bit of the tomatoes and their juice
2. 4 lasagne noodles
3. A medium-thick layer of the tofu ricotta/veggie mixture.
...And start over again until everything is all used up and in nice layers!
