vegan buddies & recipes

i recently decided to go vegen (for a number of reasons) and i'm looking for some VEGAN MFP buddies for support/encouragement/sharing!
i'm also looking for some simple/easy beginner's recipes & some tips, tricks, or recommendations any veteran vegans may have.
i've done my fair share of research but there's nothing like advice that's worked for other people, and great suggestions as well :D
not looking to start a debate about veganism/eating meat/ anything. just some friendly advice & support :)
