So, tell me what you are eating a lot of right now?
I am consuming hummus like its my job, but one thing I just can't get enough of is mashed potatoes with crispy kale!
I add a bit of chickpeas to the mash so I am getting protein and I crisp the kale nicely in a pan and then mix it all together. YUM! I wish I had some right now!

Pretty much everything I eat involves mass amounts of lemon; I actually just made my new favorite meal this evening! Coconut ceviche! I could've eaten a gallon of that stuff, I swear.0
-
I just found this recipe for a lentil loaf - rice, lentils, onion, garlic, bbq sauce. It gets crunchy on top and is sooooo delicious. not to mention it has a boat load of protien!0
-
One of my favorite meals right now is a pita w/ spaghetti sauce, mushrooms and chunks of sausage links. You can also put a couple chunks of mozzarella or soy cheese alternative if you want.0
-
This all sounds so good! Recipes or links please! (esp for the lentil loaf! Haven't found a good recipe yet)
I've made sweet potato black bean enchiladas 3 times in the last couple of month. Delish! Easy to make vegan and not nearly as time consuming as they look. http://www.vegetariantimes.com/recipes/11841?section= I advise doubleing the sauce recipe and letting it simmer for a couple of hours to thicken up and meld the flavors.0 -
For mine, just make traditional mashed potatoes (or get a bag of steam and mash.) add a bit of soy milk and Earth Balance. Maybe mash chickpeas beforehand (with a potato masher.) Meanwhile, add washed kale to a bit of heated olive oil. Let it crisp for about 5 minutes (it doesn't wilt like spinach.) Add to mashed potatoes and stir!0

My Father made me a big batch of quinoa today. I had a cup for lunch and I added salsa and hot sauce. Any other quinoa recipes are much appreciated as I have quite a batch. TIA.

Favorite breakfast at the moment!!! Soy coconut yogurt with honey crunch wheat germ?! It's like coconut cream pie for breakfast :0)0
-
I haven't made this in a while, but I think I may have to soon: gluten free tortilla wrap, quinoa, lentils, onions, mustard, Daiya cheddar. If I have other veggies on hand that sound good (tomatoes, peppers, peas) I throw those in too.0

Channa Masala has been my fav. meal for about 2 years now. I make it myself.0
-
i eat a LOT of tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, and spinach salad. i actually cut up and place everything but the spinach in a container. when i'm ready to eat i load it on top of the spinach. this is something i've been eating since i was a kid and i still can't seem to get enough of it.
also lima beans and grapefuit. no not together 0 -
I recently discovered Adzuki beans and I love them! I'm sure I had been eating them before when I eat Asian food but I didn't know what it was. Usually in Asian food its just called black beans but it was never like any black beans I'm used to. Turns out it was Adzuki beans all along! They are small, black, and sweet tasting.0

Do you have a recipe to share? I think I inherited a gene that makes it impossible for me to prepare a good channa masala.0

I pretty much make it exactly like smittenkitchen. Google smittenkitchen channa masala and you'll find the recipe. I used to use all the spices she used but then I found a bag of indian spices (says Garam Masala Powder on the front) in the Indian section of Meijer's grocery store and now I just use that. The bag of spices is huge and only cost me about $3. I also think it's important to use a lot of lemon at the end - I like it really sour. Also, I use way more than a clove of garlic. I love garlic. I make it a lot because it can make a huge pot for under $5.0 -
I can't get enought of my green smoothies. My favorite at the moment is simple: cucumber, watermelon and ice.0
-
Currently, dried seaweed. Why? Because I like the taste and it is the one little snack I can totally indulge in without sending my calorie intake through the roof. It's like a little trick for my mind. Sometimes (before I committed to lose weight), I would binge (just eat large quantities of things like a whole pack of cookies) eat whenever I get busy working. It was always hard for me to stop eating before the package was empty. Now, I can eat a whole package - of seaweed. No worries :-)0
-
I love tofu with soy sauce and sesame yummm
and also oatmel cooked in soy milk with a tsp of cinnamon0 -
my moms vegan chilli. No idea how she makes it though.0
-
My fave meal at the moment is steamed brussels greens or steamed whole collard leaves used as wraps and stuffed with fresh alfalfa sprouts, red bell pepper, shredded lettuce and carrots, and cucumbers. I put a spicy peanut sauce on top, it is very fresh, wholesome, packed with nutrition, and filling!0
-
Stuffed tomatoes!!! The stuffing consists of fresh basil, garlic, paprika, a splash of hot sauce, coconut oil, reserved tomato pulp, orozo, goats cheddar cheese (vegan/soy/etc.), and beans or tvp. Bake and viola! Muy delicioso!0

I make a HUGE variety of dinners. I cook for my dad, my fiance, and myself, and while I could do beans, rice, and greens every night, I use a lot of different dishes to keep them interested. Not that I mind, I love the variety too. But for lunch, I'm on my own. If I'm not eating leftovers I LOVE making some sort of bean salad. I grab a can of beans, put half of it in a bowl with...stuff. I overdid it on standard salads when I first became a vegan, so I still find them sorta boring, but a bean salad...wow. I'll add a couple chopped celery stalks, some halved cherry tomatoes, chopped carrot, peppers, anything veggie tastic, and maybe some fresh chopped herbs. Drizzle on some lime or lemon juice and a teaspoon of nut oil, and yum! Protein, veggies, healthy fats and a happy me.0

My favoirte meal is what I call raw veggy taco salad. I cook one egg or melt some cheese or put a small amount of cooked chicken breast on a small low-carb tortilla. Then I put on a combination of raw vegetables which might include lettuce, tomatoes, red peppers, zucchini, asparagus, broccoli, carrots, celery, spinach -- whatever I've bought from the produce section. Then I put a generous amount of salsa which is a wonderful salad dressing because the calorie count is so low. It makes a very filling meal for under 300 calories, all full of good vitamins and enzymes.0

"cheezy" kale chips! Apple slices dehydrated with cinnamon. I am basically having a love affair with my dehydrator...everything goes in there. Tonight more more more raw foods- Chocolate mousse0
-
This red lentil dal... It's amazing!!! I cook it at least once a week and anytime meat eaters are coming over for dinner. It's sooooo good! I just don't add any oil to the recipe http://edenkitchen.com/red-lentil-dahl/0
-
Marinated mushrooms in lettuce wraps, seriously. It's supper every night!0
-
I made a farm fresh veggie stir fry with sesame oil and hot red pepper flakes. This si my new favorite!0
-
I am completely RAW and my favorite foods now are Red Pepper and coconut soup as well as RAW felafels. OMG....the falafels are amazing. LOL.
SO good to be RAW!0 -
kale kale kale. I'm going through about 2 bags of the baby kale from costco per week right now. Love it with homemade lemon tahini dressing, or sauteed with a little oil and garlic, and I add it to just about any other meal I make. I have a huge bowl of it steamed for lunch the other day! It's amazing how much tastes can change- my favorite food (long before becoming vegan) used to be a McDonalds double cheese burger with mayo. Makes me shudder to remember!0
