365 Everyday Value Pea Crisps make a great vegan snack or light meal. This was my camping snack for the day. I just nibbled on these for a few hours while I watched the deer nibbling on nearby trees.

365 Everyday Value Pea Crisps

Victoria Vegan Vodka Sauce
Another really good pasta meal! I used 365 Everyday Value pasta shells with Victoria Vegan Vodka Sauce. I topped it with Bragg Nutritional Yeast.
This Victoria Vegan Vodka Sauce was so good! This brand of sauces has left me with no good reason to eat at Italian restaurants (most Italian restaurants don't have vegan food anyway). This really is one of the best pasta sauces I've had. They don't pay me to say it either. I should show some love to the shell pasta and nutritional yeast too. All of these products together make a perfect meal.

Garden Fresh Gourmet Mango Peach Salsa
One of my favorite salsas is Garden Fresh Gourmet Mango Peach Salsa. Garden Fresh has several other excellent salsas, but this is the best. It's refreshing and slightly sweet. I enjoyed mine with 365 Organic Yellow Corn Tortilla Rounds and a Pepsi along the Tennessee River. This was a perfect vegan picnic!

365 Everyday Value Organic Ranchero Beans With Rice
The Covid-19 pandemic currently seems to be creating hard times for many of us. Poverty food is now more popular because of the economic slow-down and the fear of another Great Depression. Try beans and rice. This meal is cheap, healthy, and vegan. This is real food that tastes great. Try it with hot sauce or pickled peppers.

A Classic Poverty Payday Dinner, Vegan Style
Let's take a break from this privileged lifestyle to remember some classic foods of poverty. This is a dinner of the overworked underpaid people in the 1980s, but this is not just a regular dinner. It's a payday dinner! This is dinner after going to the check cashing guy at the liquor store and getting groceries at the Piggly Wiggly or Circle C.
Being payday, there's no need to shamefully tear out several of those food stamps while everyone in line watches and criticizes what we're buying with their tax money. We have cash in our pockets. The car will not get repossessed this month. The rent will get paid. The electricity will stay on. We may even have enough money to get cable TV this month. It's time to celebrate!
1. Beanee Weenees (made vegan style)
Being payday, we don't want to settle for just any tasteless can of beans. We can enjoy our meal with Van Camp's Beanee Weenee which includes real hotdog slices and sweet baked beans. It's chunky and flavorful like real food. And it has meat in it, so we don't feel poor.
To make this vegan I used 365 Everyday Value Organic Traditional Baked Beans and Lightlife Jumbo Smart Dogs with a tiny bit of maple syrup
2. Macaroni and Cheese (made vegan style)
No celebratory meal is complete without Velveeta Shells and Cheese. It's payday, so we can skip the cheap powdery stuff and go straight to the premium choices that have the creamy flavorful cheese package inside the box. This heavenly food makes everyone feel wealthy.
To make this vegan I chose Daiya Cheddar Style Deluxe Cheezy Mac and added salt.
3. Sweet Tea
The standard drink of choice in the south is sweet tea. It's usually home-brewed using tea bags, Dixie Crystals, and cloudy polluted tap water. The sugar is probably added to cut the bitter metallic taste of the lead pipes. Then it's chilled in the refrigerator, unless the electricity has been cut because of nonpayment. It's served cold in previously acquired peanut butter or jelly jars or old Mason jars.
The tea pictured here is Milo's Sweet Tea. I'm an uppity snob now, and I can afford to have other people make my tea for me. The jar was intentionally left unfilled in remembrance of the days when having something good to drink was a luxury.

Vegan Hot Dogs With Peppers
To make vegan hot dogs I used 365 Everyday Value Whole Wheat Hot Dog Buns, Lightlife Smart Dogs, and Gulden's spicy mustard. I topped them with leftover grilled peppers.

365 Everyday Value Organic Vegan Lasagna
I tried 365 Everyday Value Organic Vegan Lasagna for the first time. Here's my thoughts on the product.
This product was very soupy. The noodles seemed very thick and chewy. This food was not visually attractive. Something about the cooking process must have gone wrong. The plastic wrapper was difficult to remove in one piece. Overall, this seemed like institutional food. The positive is that it really tasted pretty good. It's as good as any other cheap microwave dinner, but this one's organic and vegan. I would buy this again because of the taste and reasonable price.

A Vegan Snack on the Silver Comet & Chief Ladiga Trail
I stopped at the Georgia-Alabama state line to enjoy this vegan snack. I had a huge bottle of alkaline water with Dang Sticky Rice Chips. This was a satisfying light snack. The Dang rice chips from my previous blog post were so good I wanted to try the coconut almond flavor. Very good, again! They're slightly sweet with a good crunch. I actually had two huge bottles of alkaline water. This was a very long ride in the summer heat. I needed all the water I could carry.
The Silver Comet & Chief Ladiga Trial is an old railroad bed that goes roughly from Atlanta GA to Anniston AL. Based on the segment I rode, I'll say it's an easy trail. The GA side (Silver Comet) is paved with brushed concrete, and the AL side (Chief Ladiga) is asphalt. Overall, the AL side is smoother. The slopes are so mild even the young and old could ride with ease. However this trail goes DEEP into the mountainous wilderness for dozens of miles at a time. Cell phone signals go out. There's no water fountains. Other riders disappear. The scenery goes from picturesque farm, swamp, stream, and mountain views to scary backwoods hillbilly/redneck slums with rebel flags and mean dogs, abandoned railroad warehouses, and dusty vagrants on bikes. The best part of the trail is coming into each small town just as the train did decades ago. Those towns really haven't changed much because they're historic districts. Each town seems to highlight the trail as a main attraction, and the trail is really well-maintained like a clean city park. The towns have small cafes and rest stops, but vegan food is nearly impossible out there.

Vegan Valley Jalapeno Cashew Queso
I just discovered another excellent product from Vegan Valley. This cashew queso is one of my new favorites! Don't let the jalapeno scare you away. This does have a nice earthy pepper flavor but it's not too hot. It has just enough heat to give it a kick. This tastes as good or better than traditional cheese. Vegans aren't missing a thing! We have great plant-based products that can make animal products obsolete. Try this one. You won't regret it! Vegan Valley Cashew Cheeze is amazing!
I heated some Vegan Valley Jalapeno Queso over 365 Everyday Value Restaurant Style Tortilla Chips and topped it with organic cilantro and organic avocado chunks to make a great non-GMO snack. You can clearly see in the photo that I went too light on the queso. I should have used twice as much, because it's that good!
