Vegan MoFo ~ Weird Food Combo


For today's Vegan MoFo prompt of "Weird Food Combos You Love" I have to admit I was a little stumped.  Mostly because the 'average person' thinks no matter what I eat is 'weird'.  I guess I could tell you about having to go a picnic or potluck where I didn't prepare my own food well and having to 'settle' for a vegan hotdog.  And by that I don't mean an actual vegan hotdog or veggie pup - I mean having Mustard, Ketchup, and Relish on a roll!  People really look at me like I'm going insane.  But desperate times call for desperate measure, eh?


So I guess instead of ranting about all of the weird things I eat or really trying to come up with an out-of-this-world flavor combo I thought this would be a good time to post some of the 'thrown together' wraps I have been creating as of late.  All of which have been pretty darned tasty!  First up is the one you see above!  This one has Potato Patties that I cubed and pan fried along with mushrooms, red sweet peppers, corn, cherry tomatoes, and Vegan Shriracha Mayo.


Next up is this one.  It may not look pretty but it was pretty darn tasty!  This has Zucchini, Red Bell Peppers, Pine Nuts, Mushrooms, Spinach, Corn, Spices,  and Sesame Oil.


This is similar but different, I guess!  This one has Carrots, Spinach, Corn, Red Bell Peppers, Zucchini, Hemp Seeds, Spices, and Jalapeno Grapeseed Oil (Wildtree Brand)

I guess moral of the story besides experimenting with different combos of food is that wraps are a great way to mix it up and throw in various fruits, veggies, nuts, and seeds to get more of a nutritional benefit.  Normally I would branch out even more with what I put in each in individual wrap but this is what I had on hand.  This was also an 'eating from your pantry' type post.  

Looking ahead to the weekend I did do some scheduled posts and they were pretty fun.  But I do see some potential rocky roads ahead with these prompts so I might tackle them in a round about way with a loose interpretation.

  1. I cracked up at the veggie dog! I have done that before too, and you're right, I got a lot of side-eyes! I love all of your wraps. I am a big fan of wrapping leftovers, or what I have that needs to be used!

    1. Leftovers is PERFECT for wraps - for sure!!! I'm glad I'm not the only one that has done the vegan hot dog trick before LOL

    2. If they didn't want the "weird food" to stare at, then they should have served veggie dogs! Serves them right!

  3. Weird combos can be awesome and your creations look great. I need to get more creative with wraps, but I love throwing fun ingredients into oil free stir fries and stews.

  4. Sriracha mayo makes any sandwich (or most foods to be fair) that much better! I'd be eating that wrap a ton.

  5. Just Ketchup, Mustard and Relish on a Roll...that is very hard core.

    1. HA! That comment made me chuckle :) I needed that today! Totally sounds like a phrase that would come out of my own mouth! LOL

  6. Kudos to you for sticking to your guns and finding something to eat - literally, out of nothing! I'd say that's creative as it gets! Hope they have lettuce and other veggies next time you are stuck in such a gnarly situation. Hats off!

  7. I like your combos; they all look and sound like flavor bombs!

    I've been in the same boat at BBQs etc...although, I have to admit, I've eaten mustard sandwiches (just mustard and bread) at home just because that's what sounded good.

    1. Depending on the mustard...I'd be up for that, too! :)

  8. Your fillings look good, very nice colours. I am ok with mustard but I've a soft spot of honey mustard - love that a lot more.

  9. I know what you mean about your everyday foods being weird to a lot of other people. I asked my parents what they thought my weirdest food combo was- and they came up with something that I considered to be totally mainstream!

  11. That's whats funny about this prompt...we are all considered weird. However, some of the posts are weirder than others. Yours sound delicious!

  12. I love wraps, I'll eat something if it's wrapped or in a crumb coating!

  13. I kind of like ketchup and mustard on a piece of bread, it pretty much tastes like hotdog without hotdog. Uncanny.
    Loved seeing all your wraps!
