    Indian lentil curry is a household favorite here. It's ridiculously easy to make, fast and sooo tasty. It will even keep in the freezer for a week or two, past that I find it gets a bit dry: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/red-lentil-curry/

    Yesterday I found that recipe and i'm planning on trying it later this week or next week. Maybe you can give it a try as well, it's a sweet potato and quinoa patty. She serves it with a berry salsa but I'll probably have it with plain yogurt, I guess that won't work for you but if you are like me and don't like sweet salsa, I think guacamole would be a good fit: http://www.yummly.com/recipe/Sweet-potato-quinoa-cakes-333384?columns=4&position=2/2

    You can make muffin really easily by switching the milk for almond/soy/coconut milk. Replace the egg by applesauce.

    Finally, I found this chickpea sandwich a few months back and I absolutely LOVE it. This blogger offer very good vegan recipe, you should check it out in general as well. :http://thesimpleveganista.blogspot.ca/2013/09/mashed-chickpea-salad-sandwich.html

    I love the idea of a chickpea sandwich - I try to avoid bread but that sounds delicious. Maybe it will work with rye bread?

    A chickpea curry is a great vegan dish if you like spicy good, or you could just use a little less chilli?

    Side Note - I understand that some people choose to be vegetarians, or vegans, but I had to look up "ethical vegan." Assuming I am not alone in understanding why the word 'ethical' was paired with 'vegan' - here is a definition that I found on Wikipedia.


    Ethical Vegan: The main difference between a vegan and vegetarian diet is that vegans exclude eggs and dairy products; ethical vegans state that the production of eggs and dairy causes animal suffering and premature death.

    Sweet Potato and Spinach

    1 sweet potato, boiled or baked.
    2 cup spinach
    1/2 onion
    4 scallions
    1 red pepper
    3 cloves garlic
    1 tsp salt
    1/2 cup portobello mushrooms
    1 tbsp sesame seeds
    1 tbsp sunflower seeds

    My absolute favorite vegan recipe must be vietnamese fresh spring rolls!

    how-to-roll-spring-rolls-recipes-485-1.jpg

    http://whiteonricecouple.com/recipes/how-roll-fresh-spring-rolls/

    I make them somewhat like this recipe, and then make a dip of japanese soy sauce, water, sambal oelek and cilantro (you're supposed to also add fish sauce, but then it's not vegan anymore now is it? It's delicious without the fish sauce anyways:smile: )

    I hate recipes. I'm more of a fly by seat of my pants type.

    Here's a vegan one we like- zucchini cut up, sautéed in water with an onion, add a jar of marinara sauce to the zucchini.
    Serve over cooked spaghetti noodles.

    Tacos- canned beans, corn tortillas, salsa... Guacamole if your feeling crazy. Serve with boiled corn.

    Sandwiches-tomato, lettuce, cucumber and veganaise or hummus as a spread. Served on bread.

    I am old fashioned and loooove cookbooks. Deborah Madison's Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone and Madhur Jaffrey's World Vegetarian are chock-full of delicious vegetarian recipes, many of which are also vegan and many of which can be made vegan. I just made the Hot and Spicy Szechuan Eggplant from World Vegetarian tonight, and it is delicious!!

    Bring different kinds of lentils (dhals) from Indian stores, if split you can directly cook them, if whole soak them over night and cook next day. You can saute onions, garlic, tomatoes, any cooked vegetable...in a tsp of oil , add the cooked lentil, salt , lemon and there you have a protein and vitamin rich dish that can be had with Rice, couscous, quinoa, bread, roti, naan ..absolutely anything. Adding some spices like cumin, mustard seeds....adding green chllis, herbs like mint, coriander leaves, curry leaves etc gives additional flavors and nutrients to the dish. You can play with it everyday with different vegetables.

    I'm an ethical vegan too (: have been for almost a year yay! I don't believe calories matter tbh. I'm almost at 3k today and I'm actually pretty thin haha (although I think I could use some more work). Have you ever tried banana ice cream? It's my favorite (: I'm eating it right now lol! Just freeze bananas and blend them with only a little water so it's thick. Add vanilla, unsweetened cocoa powder, strawberries, or just leave it plain! So yum ????????????

    Hello! I am plant-based neither "vegan or vegetarian" because I do NO OILS, NO DAIRY, NO MEAT OR ANIMAL PRODUCTS. THIS SAID YOU COULD ALL EAT MY FOODS AND I can tell you where you can find many recipes! :)
    first of all you may want to find me on Facebook because I post photos and give the recipes on my page nearly every day. Look for Donna Marie and in the photo you will see me wearing a green "kale" shirt. (At least that's the current one)
    secondly I would encourage you to look up either on Netflix or Amazon for his books or even on youtube: Dr Caldwell Esselstyn and his son Rip Esselstyn.
    Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease by Dr Caldwell Esselstyn

    One of my favourites for winter (obviously swap the butter for vegan margarine and omit the cheese!):

    I think you missed the ethical vegan part = no fish, seafood, meat, eggs or dairy. Oyster sauce, prawn and egg do not = ethical vegan :noway:

    Vegan quinoa chili! - soooooo good and filling, and high in protein! You can put in a variety of beans, veggies, quinoa..whatever you like really, and then just let it sit in the slow cooker for a few hours.

    I leave out the bay leaf, it adds a weird taste (unless you're really into bay leaves, then go for it!)

    You may already know but Ohsheglows in an amazing blog.

    I didn't think it was possible but this is a vegan recipe that is in fact better than the non-vegan dish it is modeled after:
    http://ohsheglows.com/2014/01/20/cauli-power-fettuccine-alfredo-vegan/

    And this is a great breakfast that keeps me full through the lunchour!

    This blog and a few others were lifesavers as I have been transitioning my diet.
