Weekends can be about so many things - friends, family, food. I like it best when I can include as many of those as possible. So, if you're curious to know what kinds of things a vegan eats over the weekend, here are some of my favorite Easy Vegan Weekend Meals.

It's summertime so quick and easy recipes like this Vegan Chili Cheese Hotdogs make a perfect addition to your meal rotations. Just because I'm vegan doesn't mean I can't enjoy the meals from my childhood; it's just now they're a lot healthier. Healthy meals without sacrificing flavor? That's what I call a perfect summertime meal!

Bring the flavors of New Orleans home with this vegan version that celebrates brown rice, creole seasonings, and steamed veggies. Now that's a meal you could eat all year round! It's great when paired with your favorite Zydeco or Jazz so you can imagine you're right there in Louisiana. Heat and humidity not included (unless it comes with your own territory).

I think my mom makes this Texas Sheet Cake every summer which means having a slice of it right now makes me feel all summery inside. Just imagine tender and moist chocolate cake topped with a pecan-infused chocolate frosting that's poured over while the cake is still hot, causing the icing to nudge its way into every nook and cranny available. This cake yields decadent and rich chocolate and pecans in each and every bite. Wanna join me?

A perfect dish for breakfast or dinner, Vegan Herb Baked Tofu is simple to prepare and has a dramatic appeal that even the most tofu-skeptical folks might take an interest to. At least that's the goal!

Snickerdoodles are a family favorite recipe because it produces a tender, chewy middle with a crispy edge rolled in cinnamon sugar. This version of our favorite recipe is not only vegan, but dipped in a thick coating of dark chocolate. It's a perfect way to get this holiday weekend started out right!

It was the best of times...and the worst of times. Being at NOLA's Jazz Fest 2013 was something we'd looked forward to all year and we were rewarded with some of the best music in the world. But what we didn't expect in New Orleans in May was bad weather. But it was going to take more than copious quantities of rain to dampen our spirits; so we persevered and had an overall great time! Read about some of my favorite bands and some incredible vegan eats (can you say vegan jambalaya three times fast? Me neither, but it's fun trying!

Having fresh cut flowers in your home can be more than just a pretty vase. Our connection with nature has been an important part of human evolution. Today we spend less time outside than we ever have before. Bringing nature inside can help us keep that connection with nature alive.
