Celebrating National Vegan Day with MorningStar! #WayToVeg

Recently, my sister Layla and I were invited to attend an elegant dinner complete with wine paired with 5 newly launching veggie bowls from MorningStar Farms.  

The new meatless heat-and-serve veggie bowls are easy to prepare and bursting with bold flavors - sure to satisfy a variety of culinary cravings.

Offering internationally-inspired varieties, as well as unique twists on classic favorites, such as Chik’n pot pie with a creamy béchamel, a veggie sausage bake with tomato basil, and vegan Japanese soba noodles with a hint of ginger, the new MorningStar Farms bowls deliver full flavor and the true-to-meat texture MorningStar Farms is known for.

Here is the full list of the pairings (all items are vegetarian, vegan items are noted)

• Chardonnay Chateau St. Jean + MorningStar Farms Chik’n Pot Pie
• Sauvignon Blanc Sterling Vintner’s Collection + MorningStar Farms Italian Sausage Bake
• Bijou Rose Chateau St. Jean + MorningStar Farms Chik’n Tikka Masala
• Merlot Sterling Vintner’s Collection + MorningStar Farms Moroccan Medley (vegan)
• Cabernet Chateau St. Jean + MorningStar Farms Japanese Soba Noodles (vegan)

Layla and I are both life-long vegetarians and love that MorningStar Farms has new vegan offerings. 

We both agreed that the Japanese Soba Noodles. Each bowl is 100% vegan; combines a flavorful and authentic tasting blend of soba noodles, Veggie Steak Strips, edamame, snap peas, bamboo shoots, red pepper strips, julienned carrots, and green onions combined in a zesty soy ginger garlic glaze. Nutritional Information: 17g protein, 5g fiber, 14g whole grain, 3g fat and 240 calories.

I also love the Moroccan Medley. It's 100% vegan; features a sweet and spicy blend of peppers, sweet potatoes, green beans and Chick’n Strips over couscous in a spicy Harissa sauce. Nutritional Information: 11g protein, 5g fiber, 4g whole grain, 6g fat and 240 calories.
