Vegan BBQ Chicken Strips
I absolutely loved the taste of this dish. It was very quick & simple to make. I used Smart Life Chicken Strips and about 1/2 cup of all natural BBQ sauce, added some minced garlic, red bell peppers & cilantro. There was no need for me to add any natural seasonings. It blended perfectly! We enjoyed it over some Organic brown rice. Excellent for an entree' or quick meal.

Vegan Potato Beef
I try and think of different meals to make for My Family. I had some Gardein Vegan Steaks in my freezer and some sweet petite peas. With coming up with the concept, I kept thinking "Menudo." I didn't think about the potatoes, until I glanced over at our fruit bowl. I had a bag of Organic red baby potatoes. Vegan potato beef it was! :)

Vegan Black Pepper Steak
After a long day at my Daughters dance rehearsal, we enjoyed some Vietnamese cuisine together. While waiting for our food, I was looking out the window and saw an Asian Supermarket. We decided to check it out after dinner. It was surprisingly bigger than I had thought. They had a variety of fresh Asian vegetables. I picked up some baby eggplant, bak choy, camote leaves & some korean peppers.
This is what I made with the ingredients I purchased from the Asian supermarket, on Eastern avenue and Pebble.
Directions:
Vegan black pepper steak (Whole Foods), Bak Choy & Baby Eggplant Heat garlic oil in a pan, cook vegan steaks as directed on package. Add eggplant and stir til' cooked (don't overcook). Then stir in Bak Choy (don't overcook). No need to season, due to the sauce of the vegan steaks. I don't like my vegetables well done, I still like a crisp texture. Enjoy over Brown Rice!

Why I choose to shop at Farmers Market!
I was first introduced to the Farmers Market at a very young age. My parents loved to start our weekend mornings with fresh produce shopping, under the bridge of Alameda, California. I loved the experience of seeing different vendors, it almost reminded me of a flea market. It didn't compare to shopping at a regular grocery store, due to the lack of variety in produce. At the Farmers Market, you get that one on one time with the actual farmers, which often lead to great deals. You get to know them on a different and personal level, and all the proceeds go directly to them. They can be more cost effective than most regular grocery stores, also without the added pesticides. Grocery stores don't give you the freshness you're looking for vs. the Farmers Markets, which supply you with organic produce and specialty items. Within the vicinity of the Farmers Market, they have different local shops and other vendors, such as fresh herbs, treats, and unique products. So it's no secret where to do your produce shopping, go to your local Farmers Market and support local farmers! Shop at Fresh52 Farmers Market.
