Hello Stemians friends. Today a new chapter of My Vegan Journey.
I hope you have had a great weekend. Today is Tuesday and I continue with my 22-day vegan challenge, almost close to the last day!
You know that I spend more time cooking for my weekends. It is one of my favorite activities, I also felt that I should do something delicious that would break with the previous meals. I think I've done it very well! I made an easy, fast and delicious recipes as much as My first Vegan Pizza. (You can check the link and practice the recipe)
So, here we go... 🚀

TGIF! Day 13
All the meals of this Friday I loved them! And they were so simple to do, it was like preparing fast food. This day went to the supermarket and for my good luck, there were some Mexican tortillas perfect for the vegan challenge.
This was a real luck!, my country Venezuela, is going through the worst economic and social crisis in its history. Going to the supermarket is often sad and frustrating, food is not available, the shelves are empty or full of the same product repeatedly, and we also have an economic inflation that exceeds 300% (I do not exaggerate!) And worse situations that I do not want tell them around here. But I am a positive girl, I always have a dream that the situation will change and I always invent something with what I get in the supermarket. I love being creative in the kitchen and in my life. I love being happy and motivated.
Let's see my breakfast and lunch!
For my lunch, there was the mixture of the morning and I only cooked broccoli with my vegan cheese. (The recipe is in a previous post) I am making only three meals a day, many times I do not eat everything on the plate, I keep it and if mid-morning I feel hungry, just like the same thing again.

Day 14. Sushi time. Let's do it!
Many years ago a friend taught me how to prepare it, I do not know if it is the right or perfect way, I just know that it was delicious. So much that my boyfriend loved it and did not care that it was vegan.
Ingredients
As you can see in the photos (broccoli, pepper, avocado, eggplant, and carrot), those were the ingredients for my sushi, you can use the ones that you like the most.
From cucumber, asparagus, zucchini to a fruit like a pineapple would look great.
I use ordinary rice and I added 4 tablespoons of rice vinegar and 1 tablespoon of stevia, mixes well and ready.
You can use algae leaves or rice paper, I did not have any of that, but it was not necessary.
Directions
Maybe this seems like the hardest part of making sushi, I'm not going to lie, you have to be very careful and precise at the same time. I am sure that with the images you will be guided very well.
Step 1: Wet your fingers with water and place the rice as seen in the image. Trying that everything is very even.
Step 2: Place the vegetables as you see in the image. Do it horizontally to make it easier to cut them.
Step 3: Raise the sushi mat and begin to roll gently but firmly, make sure to press and share very well. Repeat until making the roll.
Step 4: Decorate to your liking, I placed sesame and avocado.
Step 5: Cut with a sharp knife. Firmly and gently.
Proof Summary
Many vegetables, Mexican tortillas (in the shape of a flower) avocado, arepas and more vegetables. Yummy!

Day 15. It is Sunday!
Sundays for me are always special, a lot of rest, watching my favorite series, movies and walking around the city. Making pancakes for breakfast has become a habit. I loved them, they were based on a carrot, water, oatmeal with almonds, stevia and cinnamon. (Bad news: the syrup of Maple ended)
Vegan Bacon
I know that many will think that this is not bacon, but when it comes to adapting the food is to do the closest thing to the known. This recipe was taught to me by a vegan friend in a workshop that we attended.
Ingredients and Directions
This is the simplest recipe to make in life, you just have to cut the carrot very thin.
Then place in a bag as you see in the picture and add plenty of BBQ sauce! I put spicy BBQ!.
The rest is to place in a well-distributed tray and to take to the oven to 150 degrees until they brown and remain crunchy.
The most difficult part of the recipe is to have patience until they are ready!
The taste is very similar to bacon, they were really delicious! I added them to a pasta with many vegetables and Neapolitan sauce. This pasta was the glory!
So ended my weekend and the first chapter of Westword!
