If you were looking for some good vegan options for your Fourth of July cookout, you can try what my family had. We made veggie kabobs. I also roasted some Brussels sprouts and shared a bowl of pre-sliced watermelon from Publix.
The kabobs included baby portabella mushrooms, onion, zucchini, red bell pepper, basil leaves, and home-grown cherry tomatoes. If you do this on the grill remember you should leave the lid off the grill when cooking veggies. You want the heat but not so much of the smoke. It's very easy to overdo the smoke on veggies.
My favorite part was the Brussels sprouts. I made these by quartering large raw sprouts and roasting them in hemp oil with a light sprinkle of Adobo seasoning. Excellent! The outer leaves got crunchy and delicious. This was as tasty as eating a bowl of potato chips! I almost ate all of them while the others where cooking.
Later I had some watermelon chunks. I kept these cool in the refrigerator. This is a really refreshing way to cool off in the summer heat.
Welcome to Monk Island, a food blog with a new perspective. This blog documents my experiences as a roaming vegan with limited time, money, and resources. I search the land for simple, plant-based meals for one person, and I share those here with you. This blog is for herbivores on the go who don't live in the kitchen, don't have a kitchen, or don't have a home. No politics or extremist rants. Just peace, respect, and veggies.

Late Night Vegan Camp Snack
Chex Mix and Milo's Tea! The original Chex Mix is vegan, but watch out for the other flavors. They could have milk or fish ingredients in them.

Vegan Camp Snack at Monte Sano State Park
Boiled peanuts and Yuengling! I had to drive down the mountain to the Star Market to get these, so I guess that's cheating.

Vegan Camp Potatoes
I made some potatoes at a camp site. These were seasoned with rosemary, black pepper, and olive oil. It's easier to prepare this before the trip and keep it in the cooler until it's time to cook.
