Hey Fluffygio,
Try this recipe out for breakfast, you would just need to change the honey with brown sugar.
Let me know how it goes

Here are a few of my favorite lunches/dinners. I often tweak ingredients to make recipes fit my needs - sneaking in extra vegetables wherever possible and eliminating or substituting ingredients to meet my preferences. So all of these recipes are starting points. You can browse around the different sites that these recipes come from - most have other inspiring ideas. Also, I like the website Finding Vegan for inspiration, but be warned that there are many less than healthy recipes showcased there - you have to be selective.

Mac and Cheese (I add lots of veggies - onion, grated carrot, zucchini)

Smoky Apple Baked Beans (not being a fan of liquid smoke, I don't include it and it comes out great)

If you're morally opposed to harming animals, stay vegan.

Otherwise I would highly recommend going that light weight Vegetarian.

Vegan groups are very nasty, I've even seen it towards other Vegans.

Not saying all Vegans or Vegan groups are nasty, but there's no reason to create more artificial limitations to your eating habits unless you just feel that honey is slavery, and can't partake in that sort of "atrocity" anymore. Be careful about going to Vegan. I'm not here to attack anyone, I'm just sharing my experiences trying to get help from Vegans to eat healthier, and just finding that they are too extreme for me to try and be around.

I just posted a great breakfast that you can tweak to make vegan. Check out my post called "Brownie Batter Overnight Protein Oatmeal". I'm also about to post a really wonderful minestrone recipe that's 100% vegan that I will eat for lunch ALL WEEK and still have leftovers.

I am not vegan or vegetarian but have made this before and it was tasty! http://minimalistbaker.com/bbq-jackfruit-sandwiches-with-avocado-slaw/

My boyfriend is vegan so I have learned some good recipes without missing good flavor!

Chickpeas seasoned how you want cooked in a little olive oil with brown rice
Vegan tacos, mix black beans and taco seasoning and fry like you would beef, I also heat up vegetarian refried beans
Vegan chili is the best thing ever! You can get so creative, I use five cans of beans in a crock pot, lots of fiber and protein!

You can eat anything you ate as a meat eater. You just need to learn to substitute eg. Sub mince meat for lentils, chicken for tofu, chia seeds instead of eggs.
Feel free to add me, my diary is open and I'm a vegan.

Disliking vegans is a very good reason to avoid vegans. But it isn't a great reason to continue using animal products.

If you don't care for vegans, simply avoid them. But it shouldn't influence how you decide to treat animals -- that's a whole other issue.

Well, there are always those radical 'fringe' attitudes/view points in just about any group. From religion to health. There always seem to be those individuals that take it too far. One just has to look at this site to find LOTS! Unfortunate for the integrity of any group.

Lol this is my vegan week and all this looks delicius lol but did you see the vegan group comments that made me laugh yall are awsome

Made this for lunch the other day and loved it!
http://www.stetted.com/indian-spiced-mushrooms-and-lentils/

Had it with this on the side (I had it with sour cream but you can do without)
http://www.rockrecipes.com/lemon-herb-roasted-potatoes/

and a basic strawberry and arugula salad.

It was a very satisfying meal that kept me going for hours to the point where I had to have mixed nuts instead of dinner to hit my calories for the day because I wasn't hungry at all.

I recommend learning to make your own seitan unless you are low carb/gluten free then avoid this
http://www.vegetariantimes.com/recipe/homemade-seitan/

I find that baking it turns out a lot better (Google baking directions) and it's a versatile recipe you can change up seasoning based on what you use it for. It can be used as a meat substitute for a lot dishes

I know many vegan and vegetarians...they are some of the nicest and most caring people on the planet. I hate when people generalize.

I cook vegetarian and vegan frequently...probably a bit less since I started working out...but then I just make a meat protein on the side. I never put meat with vegetables...and rarely with the starch/grain...so it is not a challenge.

Maybe if I change my mind on the use or protein shakes (working for healthcare manufactures, I just don't trust them...), then I could move back to less meat.

Which ones are referring to (that you don't trust...)?

This is an incredible recipe and goes down really well in our house (I'm a vegan the rest are omni's)
The Minimalist Baker is one of my favourite cookbooks..

I go vegan twice a year, and substitution is pretty easy in most conventional recipes. In addition to those listed above, butter=margarine or coconut oil (or any oil if a solid fat is not needed), milk=some nut or soy milk (I don't like them, but you might), cream=coconut cream, in some recipes meaty mushrooms work well instead of chunk meat, cheese sauce for casseroles and dips= this recipe.

You can take almost any recipe and remove/substitute some items to turn it vegan.

Just curious...why even bother to 'go' vegan when it's done twice only in one year. Why do you do this?

For Christmas and Easter fasts (lent). My family upholds a 48 day animal product fast before each for a total of 96 days a year.
