Small things can put a smile on our faces, bringing about small bursts of happiness that make busy days and uncertain tomorrow more bearable. We’ve stressed the importance of healthy vegan meals in this regard, but even something as small as a positive comment can do wonders in the long run. Welcome to this week’s Food Friday blog.

This week, we’ve got a great selection in store for you, gathered from the exquisite galleries of Instagram. We’ve got tacos, pies and so much more for you to feast your eyes on.

Ready? Let’s go!

 

Our first pick of the week belongs to @nerdyvegangal, showcasing a comfy vegan pie. We really like the simple colors of light yellow and dark brown when it comes to pies like this. They present a distilled essence of deliciousness that’s hard to ignore, a portion of comfort when you need something sweet to snack on.

 

 

These vegan sheet nachos by @vegtoria.d look mouth watering! We’re loving the list of ingredients that this nacho has to offer. We can see an image of absolute spiciness and thrill, a tasty nacho meal that’s bound to satisfy the palate. The arrangement of the ingredients on the nachos looks chaotic, true, but it adds to the appeal.

 

 

@veganroyalty presents plant-based “tuna” melt on naan, a great bread that’s fitting for a great filling. Vegan tuna is always a delight to savor, proof that you don’t need animal products to make something satisfying to eat. While the recipe suggests that you can use it on other meals, vegan tuna on naan is already a delightful option.

 

 

Vegan alegria candy is tasty and quite cultural, and this rendition by @vegangel915 is so inviting. The way the amaranth seeds bend a bit, suggesting a sense of chewiness to the dish, is quite noticeable. We would love to sink our teeth into this meal someday.

 

 

Our final pick of the week belongs to @earthlyprovisions, showcasing some delicious plant-based banana brownies. The way this dessert dish is presented is quite intriguing, with a sideways slice in the center of several other brownies. We love brownies as a snack in between hours of work, and we’re certain that this particular brownie recipe is unforgettable.

That’s it for this week. Be sure to visit us next week for a fresh batch of great vegan cuisine photos to admire and be inspired by. Want to showcase your own dishes?
