I have been posting my meal ideas to Instagram under @feoilfreefamily for over 2 years now. My goal is to show that Vegan food is not all salads 🌱, is not a big jump from your "regular" food and is easy to make and enjoy.
Oh Feoil is Irish for meat, we are an Irish family who are proudly Vegan for the animals. You pronounce Feoil like Creole. Now you have learned a new Irish word too!
Here are 10 of my favourite meals. Most of these meals are made with speed in mind. We are all very busy people but getting good wholesome food is essential. Especially with young children who are on the go.
In our home we have 2 Boxing kids (8 and 10)🥊🥊 and an MMA fighting teen🥋. We are big outdoor people and love to be active🏋️🏋️♀️🏋️♀️. Becoming Vegan is by far the most positive thing we have ever done. We are all so full of life and energy that we simply have a wondrous Vegan glow that people always comment on!
So with that in mind, enjoy the salads below!🌱🌱

| Salad plate with avocado toast, I had to throw one salad in there 🤣🤣 |
This plate is full of colour, vitamins and minerals.

| 7 bean chilli with corn and jalapeño fritters. One of my personal favourites |
If you want to know why you should have more beans in your life check out this post by @harrysteem. Beans are a great source of protein and use far less water, land and create far less pollution than their animal based counterparts.
| Creamy sundried tomato and garlic fusilli |
Sundried tomatoes are a great source of lycopene for more on this see this very detailed post by @cancerdoctor. Most of us will know the benefits of garlic but this is a super addition. I may also be a garlic fiend too!
| Sundried tomato and Chinken on a bed or thyme roast potatoes |
ok I'm just playing with you now! This is such a delicious meal it doesn't need any links.
| Vegan Pad Thai! Oh man, I love Pad thai |
One thing that I missed was seafood but when you consider all the issues around seafood there really isnt any justifiable reason to continue. Here is a very interesting article about shrimp that you might want to read before you crack into another one!
