Another day, Another meal to make.....vegan...

I loved sloppy joes as a child and i still do. i was thinking about lunch last night, family made some  food that smelled AMAZING, unfortunately it was beef sloppy joes.. :(..... tear.
 i decided to see if i could make something just for me, i went searching for recipes and i found this one. it was not only delicious and i had mostly everything i needed already home, i did have to buy the  veggie stock (mom only buys chicken stock)  and started cooking.
After i put my sandwich together my brothers said it smelled good and wanted to have some, and they really liked it. my older brother said it was filling but not too heavy. Later at night i caught them making more for dinner! success. :)

here is the recipe i used it comes from The forks over knives website enjoy:
