Easy vegan go to foods?

Question

I've been a vegetarian for about 10 years. About a month before finding out I was pregnant, I started my transition to vegan. It's harder than I thought! What quick go to options are there out there? I'm in my 3rd trimester and my significant other really wants to help with the cooking, but he lacks in cooking skills and he's not vegetarian. So making meals is a challenge sometimes. Any suggestions? 
​Thanks!

Answer

I have a few vegan food ideas that still rank among my go to meals even though I was forced to resume eating meat two years ago due to iron deficiency. And don't worry. Being a vegan was not the source of the problem. 
​
​1) Try a dish called fiesta -- sauté corn, black beans, diced tomatoes with salt, pepper, cilantro ( I often add garlic, cumin, chili powder and a bit of lime juice too and when exhausted or tight on time pour all of the ingredients straight out of cans). Cook for 12 to 15 min. over medium heat.  You can eat this alone, with chips, over rice or in a tortilla. Or make it as a side.  Always delicious and reheats well.

2) Have meat-free fajitas. Sauté peppers, zucchini, onions and potatoes if you so desire with olive oil, garlic, cumin, salt and pepper until soft. Trick is to cut veggies to similar sizes so they cook evenly. Eat alone as a side, over rice, mashed or baked potatoes, over polenta or grits or in a tortilla. 
​
​3) Enjoy the magic of sweet potatoes. If baking wrap in foil and poke holes. If microwaving skip the foil, poke the holes and nuke them. As they cook combine olive oil, coconut oil or butter substitute of choice with lime juice and chili powder over very low heat for 5 to 10 min. Turn off your sauce. When potatoes are done split them open and pour sauce inside. Eat while hot. Bring extra sauce to the table. Super super good.

Hope that's helpful. I loved being a vegan. Can you tell?

Answer

"chicken" salad: 
​mix mashed chickpeas, juice from lemon, diced onion, apples, celery, walnuts, halved red grapes & couple tbsp of Veganaise. 
​Eat on bread, crackers, or with a spoon!  
​(You can change about any ingredient to make it fit ur taste; the lemon keeps the apple from browning.)
