Hello! I'm not exactly new, but I am returning to veganism soon and could use some vegan friends on here!
Always looking for new people and ideas.

vegan and I love it
I agree, gardein is delightful. Dr. Prager's veggie burgers are also great! I love cooking mushrooms or asparagus or chickpeas. Just with spices and such! and of course tofu. Just marinate how you like it and cook it either on the stove or in your oven.
Pinterest has also been a LIFESAVER for finding alternatives to whatever I'm looking for.0 -

I'm transitioning into a plant based diet/vegan diet and am looking to connect to others for support as I don't have a huge support system locally.
Also I notice a below the mention of veggie burgers...if you haven't tried Hilary's brand they are great. My meat loving husband eats then...in fact he asks for them at least once a week which make the beginning of this transition easier for me.0 -
I am plant-based (or vegan but I hate using that label). I have had some low moments and caved into my cheeseburger cravings a few times, but for the most part I'm consistent. Feel free to add me.0

I have been a strict vegetarian for 18 years, and lean mostly vegan. I just got the Oh She Glows cookbook and LOVE IT. She has a blog by the same name and while I found that to be ok, I love the book. I just took out VB6 by Mark Bittman from the library and it's loaded with great recipes as well. I love taking out vegan cookbooks from the library, trying new things and adding to my repertoire that way. While I do eat some of the meat replacements, it is important to watch for all sorts of additives that are not necessarily better for you than eating meat. I have begun making my own bean and vegetable based veggie burgers and freezing - healthy and delicious and I know what goes into them! Good luck! Please feel free to reach out with any questions.0

I've been vegan for 19 years for ethical reasons.
There are a couple of groups on here worth joining. If you post anything vegan / vegetarian related on the main forums you'll sadly be flooded with comments from haters who still believe that vegans are all sickly and deficient in everything!!

Welcome back to veganism!
I would love to connect with other vegans as well!
I love these raw vegan recipes for the summertime:
Zucchini Pasta
1 small to medium zucchini per person or half zucchini and half root vegetable like rutagaga or turnip
Run zucchini (or other vegetable) through a spiralizer, or shredder (Saladacco) or food processor for long “spaghetti” or simply shred by hand. Rinse and allow to drain in colander for a few minutes. Top with Italian Tomato Sauce or Pesto Sauce (see recipes below).
Italian Tomato Sauce
6 large fresh vine-ripened organic tomatoes, 1/3 chopped into chunks, 2/3 pureed in blender or food processor
2 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
1/2 cup fresh basil and oregano, mixed
2 tablespoons dried Italian herb mixture
fresh black pepper to taste
1/2 onion, minced
1/2 cup cold-pressed olive oil
1/4 cup raw apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons raw honey or raw agave nectar
dash of cinnamon
Blend all ingredients. Serve over Zucchini Pasta.
Pesto Sauce
1 large bunch fresh basil
1 cup pine nuts or walnuts, or combine both
2 cloves fresh garlic, peeled and crushed
1 cup olive oil
fresh black pepper to taste
Chop the basil together with the nuts for a few seconds in a food processor. Add all ingredients and pulse into a thick and chunky paste. Serve tossed with Zucchini Pasta.
I also love to make an avocado pesto with a handful of basil, an avocado, garlic (and oftentimes I use water instead of oil to dilute..)0 -
