Calling all vegans......

dlyeates

I would love some tried and true holiday vegan recipes. Especially main dishes!!! My parents are vegan and I want to respect their dietary choices but also be able to make them a dynamite meal instead of their salad, roasted veggies, etc. staples.

For Thanksgiving I made them creamy vegan mashed potatoes (they were really good), vegan stuffed mushrooms, bread and a relish tray (they provided the vegan stuffing and gravy) so I feel like their meal was more complete!!!

But I want to do more and I would love it if you guys could give me your tried and true recipes so I can show them, through respecting their choices and making them a great meal, just how much I love and care for them!!!

Bring them on!!!! Thanks everyone!!!

What a great daughter you are I would love to have some recipes too as my daughter and I are vegetarians....however, we will do butter and cheese once in a great while.....for Thanksgiving I had Broccoli, Sweet Potatoes, Mashed Potatoes, Stuffing and a Crescent Roll, YUMMERS!

Can't wait to hear what others have to say....

This isn't a main dish, but I've made this pumpkin pie twice now and everyone loved it.

I LOVE Chef Chloe recipes! She is a vegan chef (she even won cupcake wars on food network!) and most of her meals are simple, easy, and relatively inexpensive. One of my favorites is her stuffed shells recipe and her lasagna recipe - they taste JUST like the real thing! her website is chefchloe.com and her cookbook is Chloe's Kitchen - it's pretty much my go-to cookbook and I highly recommend it! Also, her dessert recipes are amazing. I actually like her vegan cupcakes and cakes better than non-vegan. Plus, you don't have to keep buying eggs. Good luck!

No sure if you like spicy but this is a soup I make constantly and love the spicy tomato flavor. I call it V8 Soup

1 cup diced baby carrots
1 cup diced celery
1 large yellow onion diced
1/2 Green Pepper seeded and diced

Cook the above in 2tbs Olive Oil till carrots tender
then add
1 46oz V8 Vegetable Juice (I prefer the spicy Hot)
1 28oz can diced tomatoes (or 2 cups fresh tomatoes diced)
1 can Black Beans (drained)
1 can Pinto Beans (drained)
1 can Corn
1 sm can Mushroom stems and pieces (optional)
1 tbsp Basil

Bring to boil and simmer for 45 minutes.
