Vegan Chicken And Rice Alfredo w/Steamed Soy Vegetables

 It's not that hard to come up with some creative and tasty vegan dishes.  You only need to know where to look for the best ingredients, and have the right amount of inspiration.  There are two big name markets that know just how to cater to the growing vegan community.  Whole Foods and Trader Joes both carry a long line of delicious products that can turn your favorite meal into a vegan delight.  My inspiration? Seanna and Sean.  Thanks girls. This is a nice cozy two serving recipe.
