The only thing certain in this life is change. If 2020 has shown us anything, it’s that surprises are around every corner. Some of these surprises are challenges but not necessarily difficulties that we have to face alone. Having friends and loved ones to help you push through can make those challenges feel less uphill. Eventually, each day will have less struggle, and although change may take a while, you’ll get there. Welcome to this week’s Food Friday blog.

This week, we’ve got some great vegan food photos in store for you, made by the dedicated foodies of Instagram. We’ve got pasta, bread, and more in store for you, dishes that might inspire you on your future vegan endeavors.

Ready? Let’s dig right in!

Get some raw vegan goodness here! @joywithrawfood presents these absolutely appetizing raw vegan garlic pizza bread pieces. Raw vegan recipes are some of the most flavorful and memorable foods that we’ve savored in recent years. With that said, these slices must taste absolutely delightful.

@lala_lapause presents this lovely and well-presented vegan cake. Do you miss cafes? Those sidewalk bistros with the nice coffee and plant-based snacks that you can dine on while chatting with friends? Well, we do, and in this time of pandemic it does well to give patronage to your local vegan restaurants and cafes. This cake just fills us with nostalgia of those chill times. How do you feel about this?

Vegan cheese! These plant-based pepper jack cheese slices are courtesy of the @thehiddenveggies, made using plant-based milk that just gives a unique and wholly healthy flavor.

Our final pick of the week is by @foxfoodandfitness, showcasing an absolutely stunning pesto edamame pasta plate, complete with a comprehensive recipe. Just look at that vibrant green hue! Packed with leaves and other healthy ingredients, this dish is bound to fill your stomach and make you feel more vibrant and active for the day. Ah, the joys of great vegan cuisine.
