So I'm not vegan, but I am a lactose intolerant vegetarian who's not a big fan of eggs...so I figure I'm at least halfway there
My favorite three recipes at the moment:
Veggie Tofu Stir Fry with Quinoa - http://www.myrecipes.com/m/recipe/tofu-asparagus-red-pepper-stir-fry-with-quinoa-10000000665176/
Sweet Chili Tofu (if you're okay with sugar) - http://chefinyou.com/2011/10/fried-tofu-sweet-chille-sauce/
**I dry fry the tofu instead of deep frying it. Much healthier, way less calories.
Lentil Loaf - http://vegetarian.about.com/od/maindishentreerecipes/r/ricelentilloaf.htm
Andddd now I'm hungry!0 -
Tofu lemon carrots and green bearn
extra firm tofu cooked in spicy olive oil. (remove tofu)
out in the pan shredded carrots with fresh lemon juice and a little soy sauce heat just for a min while stiring (really just to heat)
then steam some cut green beans. (i buy frozen steam pack)
this is one of my go to 10 min meals.
I also make vegan tacos
Heat up corn tortillas
slow cook black beans with big slices of jalepeno pepper (you can remove when done cooking) add a little salt
slices avacado and chunky salsa. another quick meal.
feel free to add me i can use vegan/veg friends0 -
I'm a vegan I do all my own cooking. Best decision I ever made. Anyone can message me with questions, I love to talk about veganism.0

One of my faves is baked sweet potato with the following topping (ingredients listed tops 2 sweet potatoes):
Combine 1/4 cup beans (red, black, white, pinto...your choice), 1 diced tomato, 1/2 diced onion, 1 tablespoon ground flax, 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast, 1 tablespoon lime juice, cilantro, salt and pepper. Mix it all up and top the sweet potatoes.
I usually just stab the potatoes with a fork several times and microwave them for 10 minutes and they turn out perfect!
My 13 year old asks for all the topping0 -
My hands down favorite vegan & weight loss friendly cook book is "Appetite for Reduction" by Isa Chandra Moskowitz. I could live on the zucchini- black bean-kalamata olive tacos!0

Vegan here for almost 30 years. Best cookbooks I have ever come across for Vegans are by Dr. McDougal. There are about 4 or 5 of them and they have amazing recipes for everything. Lasagna and Manicotti that fooled my meat eating Italian family. No processed food, all natural. They may be little hard to find now, they were written awhile ago. I am sure you can find them on Amazon or Ebay.0

Coat tofu in nutritional yeast and pan fry tofu in PAM until crispy. Sautee sliced bell peppers, onions and bamboo shoots to your preferences, then toss with tofu in a light teriyaki sauce. Serve alone or with quinoa (if you like fusion, add caluiflower to the mix and wrap in a low-calorie torilla). One of my favorites. Not a vegan anymore, but vegetarian who consumes very little dairy unless going out (mostly to make things easy for my non-veg girlfriend).0

You and your gf should go to a place where you can both get the food you want. In my opinion, things should be made easier for you. She can eat anywhere! My husband is vegan, but when we go out to eat with family or friends it's always to a place we can all enjoy!0 -

It appears we weren't identifying ourselves for the OP to have crated this thread. You and logic don't get along, do you?0 -
Vegan- leaning vegetarian who eats vegan more than 99% of the time here. Don't have many recipes, as I love to just throw things together, but one of my favourite breakfasts comes from here:
http://www.stuffed-grapes.com/2013/01/the-secret-to-eggy-tofu-scramble-indian-black-salt/
I tend to up the nutritional yeast and go creative with the veggies, though. Great recipe if you crave something a bit eggy tasting.0 -
Asian Style Slaw with Edamame
Dressing
¼ cup fresh lime juice, 2-3 juice of limes
2 T tamari or soy sauce
1 clove garlic, crushed (I use 1 T of jarred crushed garlic which is milder but more convenient)
1 T sambal olek (crushed red chilli paste, found in the ethnic aisle)
Mix dressing. Add ¼ cup chopped peanuts to dressing (they don’t fly all over your kitchen when they are coated in dressing before you toss salad)
Bag of carrot slaw (3 large grated carrots or match stick carrots)
Bag of broccoli slaw (could also use coleslaw cabbage mix)
1 or 2 sweet peppers (red and orange work best)
2 cups edemame, cooked (I buy the frozen shelled kind and cook in the microwave as I’m making the dressing)
Toss salad and dressing.
Additions
Mangoes
Canned mandarin oranges
Red cabbage, grated or finely chopped
1 t Sesame oil for the dressing
Carrot Cake Style Oatmeal –modified from ohsheglows.com
make enough to have for a couple days of breakfasts
2 cups quinoa (I use half plain/half red)
2 cups of milk alternative ( I use soy)
4 cups water
2-3 medium carrots, finely grated
1 T cinnamon
2 t ginger
1 t nutmeg
1 cup raisins, soaked and drained (I microwave them for 3 minutes in ~3 cups of cold water to plump them)
2/3 cup crushed walnuts
1 T vanilla
1 t lemon juice
2T to ¼ cup unsweetened, shredded coconut
Optional 1 T maple syrup (I don’t bother any more)
Instructions
1. Rinse and drain quinoa in fine mesh strainer. Add to large pot (I use dutch oven)
2. Add spices to quinoa and mix well.
3. Peel and grate carrots. Add to quinoa and mix well.
4. Add milk and water
5. Bring to a boil. Watch pot as the addition of milk can cause the liquid to froth as it heats. I’ve had bad experiences with milk boiling over and burn on the stove…smoke alarms going…ugly.
6. Reduce to low, add raisins and walnuts and simmer for 12-15 minutes (see quinoa instructions—brands vary a little)
7. Shortly before quinoa is done add vanilla, lemon juice, quinoa.
Mixture should be a little wet. When you reheat add a little milk or water.0 -

Hi,
I'm a Raw food vegan
I have a few cool, yummy recipes.
And I could use more vegan friends as well.
Raw, Vegan Bircher Muesli
1 *heaping* cup rolled oats (use GF certified rolled oats if you are allergic to gluten)
1/3 cup slivered almonds
1/2 fuji or honeycrisp apple (or apple of choice) grated with a mandolin or box grater
1/4 cup goji berries
1/4 cup dried mulberries
2 tbsp chia seeds
1 3/4 cups homemade almond milk (if you want to use storebought instead, you might try 1 cup almond milk and 1/2 cup coconut milk yogurt for a rich, creamy texture!)
Place all ingredients in a bowl and soak overnight. Dig into breakfast bliss.
(Makes 3 small or 2 generous portions)0
