Loving this thread. I am vegetarian (and I don't eat dairy either). I'm looking forward to trying most of these recipes. There are some ingredients that I have never heard of (e.g. "sriracha" - what is this?) but I reckon I can try some of them.

I would love to posts some of my own meals/recipes later as well.

Sriracha is a spicy Asian condiment - it can actually be found very easily in regular grocery stores. It's sometimes called "rooster sauce", from the picture of a rooster on the front, and comes in a clear plastic bottle with a green top. It is absolutely delicious and packs a huge flavor punch!

Not that anyone wants to see a salad here, but I like interesting salads, so here are two:

Strawberry and goat's cheese salad with toasted almonds and a balsamic/olive oil dressing.

Also, vegan enchiladas I made or dinner tonight with a peanut butter/2 peppers/nutritional yeast cheeze sauce filling. smashed avocado and homemade pico de gallo on the side, plus some leaves (because, as my husband says, I like to eat the foliage.)

Giant Mixed greens salad with alfalfa sprouts and cherry tomatoes with a smashed avocado with lime, salt and pepper.

Hungry girl snack plate dinner...hummus, celery, red pepper, carrots, cucumber, broccolli, cherry tomatoes, green olives, bread and butter pickles...

I apologize for my stupid pictures sizes(maybe) I have edited and tried to fix but they don't show the changes.... I hate photobucket, it is terrible.

Holy crap, I made the General Tso sauce last night with broccoli, noodles and paneer. It was so good! I made three servings of the sauce so I could have some for lunch today, but my husband ate the rest! :O Thinking of making a small batch of the sauce and having sweet potato fries dipped in it. Making satay for dinner. Will post pics.

So glad you liked it! That sauce is addictive - I think I could eat it with a spoon, haha.
