    Appetite for Reduction is a GREAT vegan cookbook. It's by the author Isa Chandra Moskowitz, who also wrote Veganomicon... everything I have tried is delish! And great for those trying to lose weight.
    I'm seriously surprised at the sheer volume of some of her portions for some of her recipes... they are huge for some recipes (caulipots) and relatively low in calories.

    Have you tried the newer vegan cheeses like Daiya? My non vegetarian boyfriend loves the stuff.

    Daiya rocks my world! I had given up on vegan cheeses as a whole, but daiya means I can enjoy quesadillas again! (as a treat, of course...it's not health food. :p)

    I generally use it on lasagna. Fabulous!

    NO! Not only NO but H_L_ NO! It is not possible to maintain a normal healthy mass strength energy balance without including Meat in your regular intake!
    ( Just my personal opinion )

    I've been without meat my entire life, my body system is very healthy.

    There are some awesome soy based yogurts out there. I love Whole Soy and Co. Also, there are some veggie protein breakfast sausages. Have you ever tried to make vegan pancakes? They're super easy and awesome. I usually have oatmeal with bananas. have you tried making smoothies in the morning? Also, hashbrowns are pretty simple to make and some store bought brands can be vegan.

    Bump it up! I've been cutting more and more animal products out of my diet and want to continue down that track. Thanks to you all that have shared your experiences and recipes! Yummy.
