What do vegans and vegetarians do for Valentine's day? The same thing as the rest of us - a romantic meal and chocolates except there's a twist - no animals were harmed in the making of any meal or treat. It's easy to do, starting with breakfast and ending with a romantic meal.

Breakfast in bed sounds heavenly for Valentine's day. There's nothing like a big breakfast shared with your loved one.  You can still have  bacon and eggs , thanks to Morningstar Farms and Vegg Vegan egg yolk, The first produces a yummy bacon that cooks into tasty, crispy strips much like the real thing. The second is Vegg's take on egg yolk, perfect for dipping toast points or croissants into. This last is just a mix if the powder and water and then microwaved. The company also makes a power scramble that is like the real thing. They also have  a French toast mix that is a sub in for the usual milk and egg mix. You could easily make this, using thick slices of challah bread for the French toast. What about waffles and pancakes? Use the Vegg egg mix for baking for those, It's mixing a the egg mix with a small pinch of sugar and water and then adding it to the batter.As for butter use Miyoko's oat butter or I Can't Believe It's Not Butter.

Lunch and dinner can be just as special and equally as vegan. A fun idea is making Beyond Burgers and then filling them with avocado slices , tomato slices , vegan cheese slices and Morningstar Farms bacon. Vegan cheese slices are easy to find. Most grocery stores carry Chao vegan cheese slices. The company has smoked cheddar that works well as a snack or in various dishes. It can  top a homey baked mac made with soy based cheese. You can pair it with soy ham and create a tasty croque Monsiuer , that French bistro classic. Add homemade fries  to it and a glass of hard cider for a truly Gallic meal. As for a romantic dinner, think Gardein's crab cakes which are perfect for a sweet dinner in. They taste exactly like real crab cakes and can easily be cooked in an air fryer. Gardein also makes turkey and gravy that can fool any meat eater Add some stuffing and Brussels sprouts for an elegant dinner for two.
