Lately most of my meals have been coming from OhSheGlows or ADashOfCompassion. Both websites have killer vegan recipes and many of them improvise really well. Most are also written in blog form with lots of photos, or you can choose the simply recipe view as well.
So far I've tried many OhSheGlows hot breakfasts & vegan overnight oats. The overnight oats are nice and chewy & ready to go right when you wake up. & her carrot cake oats are such a great twist on oats. Really, I improvise any of her hot cereal recipes with whatever I feel like that day, be it oats, amaranth, quinoa, cream of wheat... or any fun mix & match.
Other great recipes on OhSheGlows that I've tried:
"burger" recipes
macN"cheese" sauce (or try the pumpkin version... so good)
pancake recipes
spelt crackers (I think that recipe could easily be done with less oil)
avocado pasta sauce
soft serves
broccoli "cheese" soup1 -
Tried this last night and was soooo happy with it! Family loved it (for the most part)... I did the no oil and margarine option and added some mixed veggies...
Hearty Lentil and Mushroom Shepherd's Pie
Ingredients
8 large or 10 medium potatoes
2 tablespoons nonhydrogenated margarine*
1/2 cup rice milk
Salt to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil*
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
6 ounces cremini or baby bella mushrooms
Two 15-ounce cans lentils, lightly drained but not rinsed (or about 3 1/2 cups cooked lentils with a little of their cooking liquid)
2 tablespoons dry red wine, optional
1 to 2 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce or Bragg’s liquid aminos*
2 teaspoons seasoning blend (such as Spike or Mrs. Dash)
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
Freshly ground pepper to taste
3 tablespoons cornstarch or arrowroot
8 to 10 ounces baby spinach or arugula leaves
1 cup fresh bread crumbs or panko bread crumbs (gluten-free if needed)
Instructions
1.Peel and dice the potatoes. Place in a large saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to a simmer, then cover and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and transfer to a small mixing bowl.
2.Stir the margarine into the potatoes until melted, then add the rice milk and mash until fluffy. Cover and set aside until needed. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
3.While the potatoes are cooking, heat the oil in a medium skillet. Add the onion and sauté over medium heat until translucent. Add the garlic and mushrooms and continue to sauté until the onion is golden.
4.Add the lentils and their liquid and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the optional wine, soy sauce, seasoning blend, thyme, and pepper. Cook gently for 5 minutes. Combine the cornstarch with just enough water to dissolve in a small container. Stir into the lentil mixture.
5.Add the spinach, a little at a time, cooking just until it’s all wilted down. Remove from the heat; taste to adjust seasonings to your liking.
6.Lightly oil a 2-quart (preferably round) casserole dish, or two deep-dish pie plates. Scatter the breadcrumbs evenly over the bottom. Pour in the lentil mixture, then spread the potatoes evenly over the top. If using two pie plates, divide each mixture evenly between them.
7.Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the potatoes begin to turn golden and slightly crusty. Let stand for 5 to 10 minutes, then cut into wedges to serve.
Susan’s Notes
*This recipe comes out equally delicious without the margarine or olive oil. Mash the potatoes with the rice milk only, and use a non-stick pan to sauté the onion, adding a splash of vegetable broth if needed to prevent sticking.
Most regular soy sauce contains gluten. Look for a specially-marked gluten-free version if you’re cooking for someone who’s gluten-sensitive and omit if soy is an issue.

This is one of my favorite slow-cooker recipes. I adapted it from a traditional Indian recipe made with loads of oil. I eliminated the oil, however, and added the sweet potato. It is hearty and delicious over brown rice.
Chickpea and Sweet Potato Curry
1 Large Onion, Diced
1 T. Garlic Paste
1 T. Ginger Paste
2 t. Garam Masala
1 T. Coriander and Cumin Mix
1 t. Red Chili Powder
1/2 t. Tumeric
1 T. Amchur Powder
1 15-oz. Can of Tomato Sauce
1 15-oz. Can Diced Tomatoes
1 15-oz. Can Chickpeas, Drained
1 Sweet Potato, Diced
In a small bit of oil (or water), saute the onion until clear. Add the garlic and ginger; saute one minute. Dump everything else into the pot and add water, if necessary, to cover the sweet potato. Simmer on low for an hour until the sweet potato is soft or cook on low in a slow cooker for 3 to 4 hours. Serve over brown rice.1 -
some one gave me a Pressure Cooker. Please Advice.0

Banana Ice Cream
If you have a good juicer with a rottery thing that mushes everything, and yes that is the technical term.
Put in frozen banana chunks.
Juice into a bowl
Sprinkle cinnamon, nutmeg etc
shockingly delicious0 -
Vegan ranch dressing: http://www.food.com/recipe/best-vegan-ranch-dressing-132916
Just made this and mixed in with chopped caulflower, sliced grape tomatoes, fried and drice tempeh bacon, and green onions. so good.0 -
MAKE THESE! You will NOT be sorry. SOOOO delicious and super easy and such a really rich, perfectly sized dessert. You do need at the very least a blender - you can certainly blend up the oats and nuts to make a nice textured flour, then hand chop the choc chips/oats and mix in the almond milk and syrup by hand...
Also - I subbed brown rice syrup for pure maple syrup - might work even better b/c brown rice syrup is super sticky.

Vegan feta cheese... minimal ingredients, very easy to make. I was amazed how similar the texture is, and that I could make a greek salad with it.1 -
Here are a couple recipes, with some modifications. Enjoy! :happy:
Indian Spice Frittata
From Vegan With A Vengance by Isa Chandra Moskowitz; also check out her blog at www.theppk.com
1 pound extra firm tofu
1 T soy sauce
1 t dijon mustard
1/4 C nutritional yeast
2 t olive oil
1/2 C diced onion
2 cloves minced garlic
1/2 C cauliflower florets
1/4 C cooked chick peas
1/4 t turmeric
1 t curry powder
1 t cumin
juice of 1/2 lemon
** Notes: I used more like 1/2 C chick peas and 1 C cauliflower. I also added 1/4 C chickpea flour and 2 t baking powder (t=teaspoon and T=Tablespoon)**
In a mixing bowl crumble tofu and squeeze it through your your fingers until it resembles ricotta cheese. Mix in soy sauce and mustard. Add nutritional yeast, and chickpea flour and baking powder if using, and combine well.
In a small (8-inch) skillet, saute onion in the olive oil about 2 minutes. Add the cauliflower and saute for about 3 more minutes. Add the garlic, curry powder, cumin, turmeric and saute 1 more minute. Add the lemon juice to deglaze the pan. Transfer onion mixture to the tofu mixture and add in chickpeas. Transfer back to the skillet (or an 8 or 9 inch pie pan) and press the mixture firmly in place. Cook in a 400 degree oven for 20 minutes. Transfer to the broiler for about 2 minutes, taking care not burn. Let the frittata sit for about 10 minutes before serving.
**Note on cooking: I baked mine for about 40 minutes and did not use the broiler.**
Middle Eastern Style Cauliflower “Rice” Salad
Adapted from Crazy, Sexy, Raw by Carol Alt
1 medium head cauliflower
1/3 C raw pine nuts
¼ C dried currants, cranberries, or raisins
2 T EVOO
3 T fresh lemon juice
1 t fresh orange juice
1 t grated orange zest
1 t ground coriander
1 t ground cumin
2 pinches ground cinnamon
Salt and pepper
1 C minced fresh cilantro
1/3 C minced fresh parsley
Handful of fresh chopped mint
In a food processor pulse the cauliflower until it has a rice-like consistency. Transfer to a bowl and add pine nuts, currants, and onion. Toss to combine.
In a small bowl combine remaining ingredients, besides fresh herbs. Add the dressing to the cauliflower mixture. Add fresh herbs and toss.
**Notes: I lightly steamed the cauliflower before I made my “rice” because I find that I cannot eat raw cauliflower. Also I subbed ½ C sunflower seeds, soaked for 8 hours, for the pine nuts.
Curried Lentils
By Me
I don’t use recipes and therefore I don’t write them. But here’s what I did, more or less for the Curried Lentils.
You need:
Lentils, pre-cooked – See below
Onion
Garlic
Zucchini
Oil, for sautéing
Curry powder, a few T
Cumin, 1 t or so
Cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes
Salt and pepper
In a large skillet sautee onion in oil for a few minutes. Then add garlic and sautee a few more minutes. Add spices and mix well. Add pre-cooked lentils and some water, enough to about cover the lentils. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat a little and let the lentils cook about ten minutes. Be careful not to add too much water. Some water will evaporate so you may need to add more water during cooking. When the lentils are about done add in the chopped zucchini and any other vegetables you want (tomatoes, cabbage, peppers) and cook until the vegetables and lentils are done, about 10 minutes.
I took this from the article Lentil Measures, Equivalents and Substitutions; How many lentils do you need? On about.com
• 1 cup dry lentils = 2 to 2-1/2 cups cooked
• 1 pound dried lentils = 2-1/4 cups dry
• 1 pound dried lentils = 4 servings
• 1 pound dried lentils = 5 cups cooked
I soak the lentils about 2 hours. Drain water. Then I pre-cook lentils about 20 minutes in plain water. You could also soak, drain, and just cook the lentils with the seasonings. I like pre-cooking mine a bit so that I can drain off the water and have more control over how the final dish will turn out. Sometimes lentils cook really fast and sometimes the take longer. If you add vegetables before the lentils are done cooking you run the risk of the vegetables being way over cooked. Stop the pre-cooking when you think the lentils are 20-30 minutes from being done.0 -
A Tex-Mex Fritatta!
It also had cayenne pepper, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper
Keep the basics (for me that is tofu, soy sauce, yeast, chickpea flour) and add and subtract to make it your own! It's super easy and quick. This one I made a day ahead and left uncooked. After my evening bike ride I popped it in the oven, took a shower, and sauteed some greens to go along with it. Simple. Easy. Delicious. Filling!
I find the recipe without the chickpea flour is a little too mushy for me. That is also why I have been adding in beans and chunks of veggies!0 -
yams baked with cinnamon and almond milk simple easy and soo good1

Wheatberry & Kale Salad
(tweaked the recipe from from downtoearth.org - took out nuts, oil & sweetener, added more veggies)
It is like tabbouleh in flavor but has more veggies than grain. Great alone or served with a cup of carrot or squash soup on the side for a filling dinner.
Serves 6-8
SALAD
1 1/2 Cups wheat berries/farro (I use 1 bag of the Trader Joes quick farro) cooked, strained and cooled
4 Cups shredded or chopped raw kale
1 Cup chopped or thin sliced raw red, yellow or orange bell pepper or mini sweet peppers
1 Cup chopped or thin sliced cucumber
1/4 Cup raw chopped or thin sliced red onion
1/2 Cup chopped parsley
1/4 to 1/2 Cup (to taste) chopped cilantro
1 15oz can of garbanzo beans, drained
1/2 Cup pearl or grape tomatoes, halved
DRESSING
1/4 Cup Braggs Apple cider vinegar
2 Tbl Bragg's liquid aminos
Juice from 1 lemon
2 cloves fresh crushed garlic
1/4 Cup minced/finely diced red onion
A pinch of cayenne pepper
Toss all the salad ingredients together in a big bowl. Mix the dressing ingredients together in a smaller bowl, pour dressing on the salad and mix/toss it well. Serve as is or refrigerate a few hours to let the flavors soak in and to have the vinegar make the kale a little easier to eat. If this is too much raw kale for your liking, do 2 Cups kale and 2 Cups mixed baby greens BUT eat that one right away so the baby greens don't wilt and get soggy.0 -
Bump for later. I'm at work now, but want to really read through these later. I'm always looking for new recipes to try!0

A very yummy vegan dessert. Make it the night before to impress your guests with how delicious it is the day after!
Summer Pudding
175g redcurrants (stalks removed)
350g blackcurrants (stalks removed)
225 - 275g brown sugar
thinly pared rind of 1 large orange
225g raspberries
225g blackberries / loganberries
12 thick slices white bread, crusts removed.
NB: You can replace the fresh fruit with about 900g - 1kg of frozen mixed berries - just make up the weight with whatever mixture you've got.
1. Place the redcurrants, blackcurrants and orange rind in a large saucepan. Cover and cooke gently until the juices flow and the sugar has dissolved (if you're using frozen fruit, you can add it all at once). Add the raspberries and blackberries / loganberries and continue cooking for about 5 minutes until they are softened. Remove from the heat and leave to cool.
2. Cut a round shape from one of the slices of bread, large enough to fit in the base of a 1.7 litre pudding basin. Place the round in the basin, then line the sides of the basin with slightly overlapping slices of bread, reserve the rest for the centre and top.
3. Remove the orange rind from the fruit. Spoon half of the fruit and juice into the bread-lined basin, then place a layer of bread on top. Add the remaining fruit and juice, then cover completely with the remaining bread, trimmed to fit if necessary.
4. Cover the pudding with a small plate or saucer which just fits inside the basin. Place some heavy weights on top of the plate. Chill overnight.
5. To serve, gently loosen the pudding from the sides of the basin with a pallete knife, then turn out on to a flat serving plate.
Serve with vegan cream / vegan icecream (if you're not watching the calories too much that day!).0 -
I found this recipe on Pinterest and we all love it with blue tortilla chips.
BUFFALO CHICKPEA DIP
The cashews do not need to be soaked for this dip, but if you’re the soaking type or don’t feel terribly confident in your blender/food processor’s capabilities, feel free to soak them overnight. Also, make at least a few hours ahead to allow all the flavors time to meld together; cover with plastic wrap, refrigerate, and bake just before serving.
1 15-oz can white beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup raw cashews
¾ cup original Frank’s Red Hot sauce
1/2 cup unflavored, unsweetened non-dairy milk
2 teaspoons lemon juice (about ½ lemon)
1 rounded tablespoon nutritional yeast (optional)
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
Ground black pepper
Kosher salt
1 teaspoon fresh, finely-chopped parsley
1 teaspoon fresh chopped chives
1 15-oz can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 cup Daiya cheddar-style cheese, divided
Preheat oven to 375˚F.
Add beans and cashews to the food processor. Pulse several times to break them up a bit. Add hot sauce, non-dairy milk, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, onion powder, garlic powder, and a pinch of black pepper. Process until mixture is entirely smooth. Adjust salt to taste.
Scrape bean mixture into a bowl and stir in the parsley and chives to evenly distribute. Stir in chickpeas and 3/4 cup of Daiya. Transfer the dip to a 9×9-inch square baking dish and sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of Daiya on top. (Note: Dip can be made up to this point a day or two ahead. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to heat and serve.) Cover baking dish tightly with foil and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until warmed through. Serve with tortilla chips or veggies for dipping.0 -

Sorry if I'm overwhelming this board but - these are the best Brussels Sprouts I've ever tasted. I make them every Thanksgiving!
BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH CRANBERRY PISTACHIO PESTO
(from Chef Todd at Checkers Restaurant at the Hilton Los Angeles)
For Brussels Sprouts:
1 1/2 pounds brussels sprouts
3 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

My final contribution (for today, anyway)...my favorite side dish.
SPINACH WITH GARLIC AND CARMELIZED ONION
Ingredients:
1lb baby spinach
4-5 large cloves of garlic, peeled and chopped
1 small onion, sliced thin
1 whole red dry chili
1/2 teaspoon white sesame seeds
salt
1.5 teaspoons sesame oil
fresh lemon
some roasted peanuts, crushed would be a nice way to garnish
Preparation:
Wash the spinach well. (take care to see there you wash off the dirt if you are using fresh spinach); drain and tear the spinach roughly.
Add sesame seeds and oil in a pan and let the oil heat up (this flavors up the oil); add the red dry chili and the chopped garlic. Fry till the red chili darkens and the garlic turns light golden. Add the sliced onions and saute at low to medium heat till the onions are light brown/lightly caramelized. The garlic with turn darker while the onions are getting brown, and that is okay.
Add the spinach and the salt and stir till everything combines. Cover and cook at low heat till the spinach is cooked and all the water is absorbed.
Sprinkle fresh lemon juice.0 -
