    My new favorite dessert is 2 cups almond/coconut/hemp milk with 1/3 cup chia seeds, stir it every ten minutes for 30 minutes and then let it sit in the fridge overnight. Sweeten with agave( or honey if you are okay with it) and add fruit or whatever you like. It is very similar to tapioca.

    I second this! "Chia Pudding" is another name for it, very delicious and nutritious!

  • Sorry I am so slow. Here is one I love.
    Red Lentil Burgers

    Serves 8

    Ingredients

    1 pound (1 1/2 cups) red lentils
    5 cups water, salted
    1 cup minced onion (1 medium)
    1/2 cup minced carrot (1 large)
    2 teaspoons minced garlic (2 cloves)
    Olive oil for the skillet
    2 cups chopped crimini mushrooms
    1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
    3/4 cup Japanese bread crumbs (panko)
    4 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
    10 ounces firm tofu, pureed in a blender
    Method

    In a large pot, simmer the lentils in salted water until tender. Drain and cool.

    In a large skillet, sauté the onion, carrot and garlic in 1 teaspoon olive oil until tender, about 2 minutes

    Add the mushrooms, oregano, and salt and pepper to taste. Cook until mushrooms are tender and liquid has evaporated, approximately 5 minutes, and allow to cool.

    Add the bread crumbs, lemon juice, pureed tofu, 2 tablespoons olive oil and cooked lentils and mix to combine. Transfer to a large bowl. Chill for 30 minutes and then shape into 8 patties.

    Pan fry in olive oil in a large skillet until each side is crisp and golden. Finish in a 350°F oven if necessary to heat through.

  • I'm a vegan and I have a website that I post recipes. I get busy and don't post all the time, but I try to post the best one. www.deliciouslyjoyful.com

    I can veganize pretty much anything. I get a lot of recipes off the internet and then adapt them.

    Also, if you haven't, check out fatfreevegan.com. She has great recipes.

    Chef Chloe has a book coming out next week, I've tried several recipes from her website and they have all turned out great. Also the book Forks over Knives ...the last half of the book are all easy vegan recipes. I made the "raise the roof lasagna" over the weekend ..it's already gone!

    the PPK is the same person who does The Appetite for Reduction cookbook... I can never remember her name, Isa ???? but she is awesome! I love her falafel recipe. YUMMMM!

    Yes, Isa Chandra Moskowitz is both the writer of The PPK and has several cookbooks out. She is one of my favorite cooks - I've asked for nearly all her cookbooks for my birthday!

    I just posted this on a crock pot topic...we make it for my vegan sister when she visits. Google Wendy's Chili Recipe and make it without the beef (of course). We substitute tomato sauce with stewed tomatoes instead... and it is fantastic... about five minute prep time. The nutrients are listed on some of the sites googled so check a couple of them...I think it's around 250 cal/serv with the meat.
