Vegan Lasagna

I finally made vegan lasagna. The Engine 2 guy has a recipe that looked kind of good but it had a bunch of veggies I wasn't interested in so I made up my own recipe, being inspired by his recipe.

Layered like so, from bottom to top:

homemade garlic, basil hummus

lasagna noodles (brown rice)

lightly sauteed yellow onion (1/2 med.) and medium zuccini (diced) mixed with some chopped spinach

1 jar marinara sauce

lasagna noodles

mashed sweet potato (1large with a little garlic powder and salt, cooked about 45 minutes)

lasagna noodles

2/3 jar marinara sauce

a couple tbs nutritional yeast (approximately)

slightly ground up unsalted cashews (about 2/3 cup)

*cook at 350 for 45 minutes

This split pea potato soup was really good. I didn't have very high expectations for it but it was quite tasty. I hope I can remember the changes I made to the recipe (I always do that) next time I make it. What I remember: split peas, carrots, celery, potatoes, vegetable broth granules, garlic powder? basil?

*Edited. I added the recipe after making it a second time.

Split Pea Soup recipe:

3 cups split peas, sorted and rinsed

3 medium carrots, peeled and chopped into small pieces

3 celery ribs, chopped

1 medium or large onion, cut into small pieces

3 medium or 4 small potatoes, cut into small cubes, leave unpeeled

1-2 tbs garlic powder (use to your liking)

1 pinch pepper

1 to 1-1/2 tsp salt

3 tbs Rapunzel vegetable broth granules

a dash (or 2) of dried thyme

about 8 cups of water

In a large stock pot, saute the carrots, celery and onions for a few minutes, until slightly soft. Add water split peas, potatoes, seasonings and broth granules. Bring to a boil, then turn to low and simmer for 2-3 hours. Stir occasionally. This tastes even better as leftovers the day after making it.

Our garden

 

We are champion tomato growers! You should taste those cherry tomatoes. But we are terrible at growing almost everything else. Our strawberries are so so and our grape vine and and nectarine tree are showing promise though.
