Tonight’s dinner was Snobby Joe’s from my favorite vegan cookbook, Veganomicon. They are an old favorite around here and are perfect for batch cooking on the weekends. They freeze beautifully (a term I stole from Steel Magnolias) and are great for something that you can quickly heat and get on the table. They are made with lentils, tomatos, green pepper, onions and delicious blend of spices. We like them wrap style with spinach and hot mustard.
After arriving home tonight, dinner was on the table in a matter of minutes and now we have the rest of the evening to enjoy. We will probably catch up on the DVR and hit the hay pretty early. We must rest up because the weather is going to be gorgeous tomorrow and we want to get out and play!
Do you have the Veganomicon cookbook? Have you ever made Snobby Joes?

i don’t have that cookbook, but i’ve been seeing the snobby joes all over bloggerland lately! they look so good…i like the idea to wrap it up by the way! Heather (Heather’s Dish)´s last blog ..NEW BLOG!!! NEW BLOG!!! NEW BLOG!!!
Those look so good! I think I’ve overdone it on meat eating lately so I’ve been trying to take a more vegetarian approach. I might have to get that cookbook.
Have fun in the sunshine!
I like sloppy joes – my mom never made them when we were little, so they were a treat to eat at other kids’ houses. I’ve not made a grown-up version, though… maybe I should. Elizabeth (The Dallas Celiac)´s last blog ..Cheese and Green
Mmm I made a version of snobby joes a few weeks ago and absolutely loved them. Lentils have been such a wonderful discovery for me. I just love their texture and earthiness. They’re especially delicious in chili. I love the way they look in your wrap! Beautiful photography
Have a wonderful Saturday! Andrea @ CanYouStayForDinner.com´s last blog ..Cheesy Black Bean Scramble
When you said that they were ready in a matter of minutes, is that because you got them out of the freezer, or are they really that simple?! I’ve never looked at that cookbook, but I read about it often enough that I probably should! laura dishes´s last blog ..Chocolate Mint Pie
Ah, yes, I actually made them earlier in the week so all we had to do was heat them up. If you are cooking them from start to finish, including using dry lentil, they take about 45 minutes.
I’ve seen you make these many times and they look sooo good!
I have the cookbook and the only thing I tried was the chickpea cutlets that were all rage when the book first came out. I think I messed up the recipe, but I could still tell why people liked them. Spiceaholic´s last blog ..I’m not ignoring you!
Haha no I dont have that cookbook but the name of that recipe is funny. sounds delicious though. (sorry for posting this twice, realized i typo-d-woopsies!) Kelly (Local Foodie’s Fight)´s last blog ..Reporting back on food spending
Well these look good! So easy too! I can not remember the last time I had sloppy Joes, but i’m near positive I was in the single digits. Jenna @ Healthy. Happy. Well.´s last blog ..Eat Chic in Chicago!
I’ve always cracked up at that name…SNOBBY joes…haha, why snobby? It’s cheaper than meat, actually. Maybe because of the sense of nutritional superiority one feels while eating it?
either way, I haven’t tried it…but I will soon!
oh i remember the real sloppy joes. so messy and delish! your grown up version sounds good too! Lindsay (goodiesgalore)´s last blog ..5 weeks till our run. Oh no!
I don’t have that cookbook, but am currently trying to cook my way through the Passionate Vegetarian cookbook which was written by a wonderful woman, Crescent Dragonwagon, from my hometown (well the area anyway) and THERE ARE NO VEGETARIANS THERE so I was shocked to learn where she was from!! The Snobby Joe’s look amazing! Maria (realfitmama)´s last blog ..Rainy and Cold
even though i have it, i have never made anything from veganomicon. i think i’ve been intimidated by the long lists of ingredients, but after i saw your post i looked over the recipe and i have everything! i am ready for some snobby joes!
I love the snobby joes! I used the leftovers to make the most fantastic nachos every… and the man loved them too always a win when it comes to “healthy” foods with that haha Stephanie´s last blog ..Fit & fun!
