The Make Ahead Vegan Cookbook: 125 Freezer-Friendly Recipes

by Ginny Kay McMeans

Overview

A plant-based diet that is as satisfying as Mom's home cooking

Vegan food with down-home appeal is the sort of vegan food Americans want to eat. Sit down to a dinner that looks and tastes great, but just happens to be completely plant-based so it's also good for you. That's how Ginny McMeans cooks, and here she shares 125 of her favorite recipes. Every recipe can also be made-ahead and frozen for later, as these meals are designed for the busy person. This is delicious, homemade, everyday food that you can cook fresh on a whim or pull from your freezer for a quick healthy supper. Recipes include:

• Sweet Potato Chili Logs
• Ranch Tacos
• Slow Cooker Marinara Sauce
• Green Bean Casserole
• Soft Cinnamon Sugar Pretzel Bites

It's the kind of food you'll simply want to make and eat.
