Saving on vegan foods can be a challenge in today’s economy. Items like soy milk and vegan meat substitutes are at astronomical prices these days.

How does a vegan family save while eating the foods they are used to? You improvise of course!

Instead of buying a pack of Boca burgers or crumbles, why not make your own. Items like beans, rice, flour, and even masa flour can make great burgers. You can also make a “meat” loaf with many of the same items. You will save a few dollars and have even more control over what you feed your family.

When we think of holiday dinners we think of turkey, dressing, yams, mashed potatoes and ever popular green bean casserole. But you know sometimes we want something different. We don’t want to eat the same old foods and have the same old leftovers. Guess what?

That is ok.
