Happy Friday! Chris and I are back with another video and blog post for our “What A Vegan Couple Eats In a Day” series. You can check out all of the recipes and video below, and please let us know what you think! 🙂
✳︎・Breakfast・✳︎
Oatmeal has been my GO TO breakfast the past couple of months, zucchini oatmeal specifically. You can’t taste the zucchini + it adds some veggies and volume to the meal! I top mine off with whatever I have on hand + always a scoop of nut butter and man oh man it’s the best. Writing this is making me want to get up and make some even though I just had lunch 😛
Chris opted for a Tofu Scramble with veggies that we needed to use up in the fridge. He ate it as is, but you can definitely serve it with toast, in a tortilla, with hot sauce, etc.
In a pan over medium heat, add red onion, bell pepper, and kale and cook for 5 minutes.
Crumble in the tofu and mix it into the veggies. Add your spices and sesame seeds and mix in.
Cook for 10-12 minutes, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

✳︎・Lunch・✳︎
For my lunch I threw a bunch of leftovers I had in the fridge and made this beautiful & easy bowl! I wrote the recipe out for you below so that you can make it + store the leftovers for easy already prepared meal(s) the following days.
For Chris’ lunch, he made use of our plethora of Western Bagels and made himself an epic Grilled Cheese bagel. If you are interested in Western Bagel, we highly recommend you try out their Perfect 10 and Everything bagels. You can use our code “simplevegan” for a discount!
Put 2″ of water in the bottom of a pot, then place a steamer in bottom of pan. Add broccoli and kale, cover and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium low, and steam for 10-15 minutes or until desired tenderness.
Quinoa
In a medium pot, combine all ingredients.
Bring water to boil, cover, turn heat down to low and simmer for 15 minutes.
Turn off heat and let rest covered for 10 minutes, and do not open! After 10 minutes, open, fluff with a fork and serve.
Corn
Husk corn. Set aside.
Put 2″ of water in the bottom of a pot big enough to hold your corn.
Place a steamer in bottom of pan, then put corn into the pan (whole or cut in half).
Cover and bring water to a boil. Once boiling, steam for 15 minutes.
Assembly
Add desired amount into your bowl and top with lemon juice, avocado or dressing of choice.

Grilled Cheese Bagel w/ Caramelized Onions and Mushrooms
In a medium sized pan over medium heat, add in 1/4 cup vegetable broth, mushrooms and onions and cook until fragrant. Add in the chard and continue cooking until onions are caramelized and chard is wilted and bright green, around 10-15 mins. Set aside and let cool.
Take a bagel, sliced in half, and toast them face down on low heat in a grill pan. Once toasted, flip over and add your choice on cheese, 1 slice on each half. Cover with a lid and allow cheese to melt.
Uncover and add on the mushroom and onion mixture, seal shut and enjoy!

✳︎・Snacks・✳︎
We forgot to snap a photo of our snacks but you can check them out in the video above! I had apples, a banana, snap peas while Chris had some I Heart Keenwah puffs and we both had some bites of dark chocolate.
✳︎・Dinner・✳︎
Dinner was an easy soup. Chris and I were introduced to a place called Pea Soup Anderson’s on our way to Sonoma last year, and we just had to recreate it! Of course ours isn’t exactly the same as theirs, but we added our own little flair and topped with with bagel croutons because why not 😉
