usuallysometimes vegan and are a convenient snack to pop in the toaster oven.The "California style veggie burgers" from Costco. They refuse to stay together on a bun, so I've been folding them in a tortilla, ala cruchwrap supreme, and then grilling it shut. This keeps everything stable and has the bonus of grilled tortilla being delicious.
Some of the vacuum sealed Indian food from the grocery store is vegan, but you need to check the labels. Just heat a pouch and dump it in a bowl with some rice, and optionally add cilantro and green onions to freshen it up.

It feels like I'm getting a little better each week, but I'm still making plenty of mistakes. Thankfully, my team is very chill and us losing every game doesn't seem to be a big deal.
Trying to get better at ultimate has also been motivation to start running and be healthier in general. I feel like I had a similar motivation when I was racing bikes pre-covid, but once races started getting cancelled it was easy to have an extra beer or two. Then I started playing disc golf, which isn't as physically demanding but has a similar time commitment, so I continued to ignore cycling.
Anyway, if anyone is in a similar boat and looking for a chill team sport I would definitely suggest giving ultimate frisbee a try.

remy LinkIf you enjoy Pete & Bas, it would also be worth checking out The Northern Boys. They have a goofier take on the same formula, and also release music through SindhuWorld.If you enjoy Pete & Bas, it would also be worth checking out The Northern Boys.

Not being ok with mushrooms means that recipe is out as written, but you could try substituting for beyond meat or textured vegetable protein.
Also from Kenji, the Tofu Banh Mi and Potato Pan Pizza are very good, but less of a weeknight meal.
The biggest change we noticed when giving up meat was the shift in the way we cooked and meal planned. Before, we picked a protein and then matched some sides to it. Without a main protein, we ended up making a lot more one-pot meals and curries. This was a little stressful for the first few weeks while we figured out our go-to meals, but it's second nature now.

The video that got me into them was their 35 day trip across Labrador, but any of the long trips are worth a watch.

Substituting fries for mashed potatoes and adding leftover turkey has also happened in the past.
Happy holidays!
I just checked the one in my freezer it also contains anchovy. Damn. Thanks for the heads up.
