By reblogging this, I am not endorsing the bullshit idea that "just about anyone can go vegan." Being vegan is hard, requires tons of resources, and a supportive community. 

But if you are a poor person looking to eat vegan for a while or forever, here are some resources. I haven't read them all, so, uhh, yeah.

Reeeeal easy gf/vegan PB fudge

1/2 cup vegan butter, 1 tsp of vanilla, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 2&1/2 cups of confectioners sugar, & 1 16oz jar of PB (2 cups). Melt butter in a sauce pan & mix in the others. Mix well. Like really fuckin well cause it gets weird & chunky. Put in a pan. Melt some chocolate & put on top if you want. Or just sprinkle chocolate chips on while it's hot so they melt themselves if you're lazy like me.

Easy-ass jam bars

These are awesome for breakfast alone, with soy yogurt, for dessert with coconut ice cream, etc. 

1 and 1/2 cup oats ( any, really. rolled, quick cooking, etc)  1 cup flour  1/2 cup almond meal, coconut shreds, etc  1 cup brown sugar 1 tsp baking powder  1/2 tsp salt  1 and 1/2 cup coconut oil Jam - whatever you have in the fridge (i have a large container of strawberry. some have grape, or blueberry, or marmalade. I haven't tried apple butter yet, but i assume it would work)  

combine all but coconut oil. cut coconut oil into dry mixture with fingers or pastry cutter until crumbly. 

shake 1/2 crumbly mixture into a greased 13x9. press in. cover in a thin layer of jam. sprinkle second half crumbles. 

bale at 350 degrees F for about 40 min. really until the top browns and the house smells good. 

ALLOW TO FUCKING COOL.

Vegan apple pie!

Vegan Apple Pie!

This is super easy. 

Crust  recipe is here. I followed it exactly. Rolling out the crust was kind of hard after chilling, but I was using a pint glass because I don't own a rolling pin. I also added some nutmeg to the crust because I wanted to get fancy. It's a super easy crust. MAKE SURE YOU CHILL IT. 

Filling: 4 large apples, cored and thinly sliced with cinnamon, sugar, nutmeg sprinkled on top. Just eyeball it. 

Topping: About 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1/2 cup oatmeal, with 4 tablespoons Earth Balance or coconut oil cut into it.

No broth lentil! With whole grain pasta!

No-Broth Lentil Soup

Do you have a glass of wine ready? Ok, let's vegan. 

Olive Oil  1 Onion  1 carrot  Some celery (optional)  5ish cloves of garlic  1 can tomatoes - chopped with juice  1 1/2 cup lentils - dry ( rinsed and picked)  Spinach, kale, or other leafy greens Paprika, cumin, salt, pepper, chili powder, merquen, etc.  Saute onion, carrot, celery, and garlic over medium heat in a biggish pot, when it starts to smell nice, dump in the tomatoes, juice and all. If you know me, you know I always add some booze at this step, too. So a splash of whatever yer drinking ( wine or beer) works nicely with the tomato mess.  Simmer to cook down the tomatoes, When it smells good, dump in lentils and 8 cups water. Bring to a boil.  Add whatever else you have ( except the greens, no greens yet) into the pot and then reduce to a simmer. Simmer 30 minutes, or long enough for you to get drunker.  Drop in greens, let them wilt, simmer a bit more, eat.
