As a Sunday night marathon cooker, I’m pretty stoked on The Make Ahead Vegan Cookbook: 125 Freezer-Friendly Recipes. The more meals I can make ahead of time, the less I have to do when I’m actually hungry.
It’s probably no big surprise that I gravitated toward the Ranch Tacos in this book, as I am the girl who birthed Taco Lasagna into the world. To make this recipe, you’ll want to whip up a batch of Vegan Ranch Dressing ahead of time. (Don’t worry, it’s easy.)

Cooking ahead and planning meals ahead of time, and sticking to the menu will solve a lot of obesity problems. It is more of a lifestyle problem than a food problem.
If I see the word “cauliflower”, it stops me in my tracks. I am a cruciferous food addict. Not only because I love the unique taste, but the glucosinolates, which research says is pointing to cancer solving help.
Think I will do this one without the hot sauce. Otherwise, perfect!
We did this…. In the words of Tony the Tiger, it is “GGGRRRRREEEEEEEAAAATTTT!!!!”
Couldn’t figure our how to put our pictures of the outcome here, so I temporarily put it in a post on my website so you could see it.
