Pulled BBQ Jackfruit Sandwich

Vegan pulled BBQ Jackfruit Sandwich topped with home-made bbq sauce and slaw. Served with homemade potato salad.

I didn’t really follow any recipes for any of this.

For the jackfruit I cooked it along with onion in a skillet I added black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, tamari and maple syrup.

Simple Truth Vegan Almond Dessert

When the Simple Truth brand of a non-dairy ice cream showed up at our local grocery store, I bought the Sea Salt Caramel flavor which I wasn’t impressed with. I didn’t see or taste any caramel and it was way to sweet.

I later tried the Chocolate flavor which I did like. Pictured above with walnuts I added.

Our first time trying Miyoko’s Chao vegan cheese. This was the Aged English Smoked Farmhouse. I though it was really good but it was too smoky for Nova.
