camera photorealism with a faint film-grain overlay. Incorporate the quirky motif of one rogue lentil that somehow escaped onto the table looking suspiciously like it’s trying to make a break for freedom. The emotional tone should be cozy but mildly chaotic, like I’m proud of the food but embarrassed about the mess. Preferred color palette is muted olive greens, tired mustard yellows, and pops of overripe-tomato red.
simple vegan meals for beginners straight-up saved my life last year. i swear. i went full vegan after one too many 2 a.m. documentaries and a domino’s pizza coma. then i panicked because i had no clue what to eat.
why i even started making simple vegan meals Simple
rent went up. dairy wrecked my stomach. i felt like trash. so i started throwing cans together. turns out that works.
the five simple vegan meals i actually make when my brain is dead
- chickpeas + jar salsa + frozen spinach. ten minutes. done. Simple Vegan
- rice + frozen broccoli + peanut butter-soy-sriracha sauce. i’m obsessed. fight me.
- red lentils + whatever veggies are dying + too much cumin.
- sweet potato + black beans + hot sauce until my mouth cries.
- overnight oats i forget about until i’m starving. Simple Vegan
that one time i ate curry on the floor Simple
february sucked. i found one giant sweet potato and a dusty can of coconut milk. i roasted the potato. i dumped it in the milk with curry powder and way too much garlic. then i sat on the linoleum and ate it from the pot while doom-scrolling cat videos. still the best meal of my life.

dumb mistakes i made so you skip them Simple
- tried cashew cheese without soaking the cashews first. just chewed wet sadness.
- bought $80 of spirulina and goji berries. everything molded. i ate ketchup toast.
- thought i needed a vitammix. my $12 walmart stick blender laughs at $800 machines.
- used brewer’s yeast instead of nooch. my food tasted like regret and stale beer.
real talk: some nights simple vegan meals still annoy me
i stare at the same three cans and want to scream. karen the smoke alarm judges me. but my body doesn’t hurt anymore and my grocery bill is tiny. so i shut up and eat the lentils again. Simple
my cat just added “lllllpppppppp” to this post. keeping it. authenticity.
look, you don’t need perfect bowls or ring lights. just make the ugly food. eat it from the pan. don’t die. that’s the whole hack.
