Let me go first - recently I found Gardein F'sh Fillets! These little things are delicious! I used some warmed Mission Street Tacos and made a small portion of homemade Vegan Tartar Sauce, courtesy of Minimalist Baker, and these were GOOD. They were super easy to make too! You can microwave to save time before pan frying,…

EVERYONE I am so excited!! One of my favorite vegan bloggers (Rabbit + Wolves) just announced that she's releasing a new cookbook this spring. The last one she came out with was called Southern Vegan, and it is BY FAR one of my favorites sitting on my shelf. Comfort foods, easy to make, everything tastes stellar! The new…

@infinicca NO WAY, that's how I got started in these groups too!! I wasn't able to keep up with it either, so I ended up leaving my spot for folks who actually could lol I also kept getting hurt (multiple car accidents, minor surger - unrelated) and had a few job changes in there as well!! What house do you usually sort…

@eturtlet Omg I haven't been back here either, they've made it harder to get to your groups these days!! Sounds like you've been having some luck with the salads, it sounds good!! Do you have a favorite dressing you tend to use? I really like making veggie hummus wraps for lunch, and I'll bring a little container of salad…

@eturtlet How's the veg journey been going? I've been keeping up with meal prepping every week (I choose a few recipes and buy the ingredients to have them on hand!) so I've had some luck with it, and it means I don't end up wasting any produce either! Do you have access to a blender? You can always do fruit smoothies for…

@infinicca Good luck with your challenge! What sort is it? A virtual one? Sorry for the delay here - my app has been acting up and not letting me actually get to the groups, so I've been just keeping to the log for a bit. Hopefully your challenge is going well so far!! I used to do one or two of those and they were really…

@infinicca - thank you for sharing your story with us! The last few years have been especially tough for everyone, and it sounds like you've also had other stuff going on too. Sending good vibes your way ♥️ I don't think we have many members in this group, but I hope we can help! It's good to have folks to talk to :)…

@Ghostofachance You may be able to find them and borrow them from the library too! There are a TON of cool resources at the library that have helped me. I frequently borrow books to see if I like them and if they're good enough I'll go ahead and purchase for my cookbook collection! Keeps things fresh. Also you're right re:…
-
@eturtlet let us know if you would like any ideas or recipes! It's tough trying to figure everything out from scratch, especially if there are certain foods you aren't fond of! It's cool that you've been making those small choices here and there. If you're ever on the go and need an easy veg meal, surprisingly Taco Bell is…

@Ghostofachance I've switched to peanut butter sometimes too, except for the violife when I want something sweet! Their feta block is pretty good - I've made that baked feta and cherry tomato pasta a few times (the one that got popular on TikTok) and its really good!! Have to give it a few more minutes to re-solidify than…
-
@Ghostofachance honestly you're right. Most of the time I tend to go with foods that avoid cheese just to make life easier. Violife brand is actually pretty decent, and tends to be the "closest" in general? Their cream cheese is actually really good, especially on sweet flavored bagels! It has a nice savory almost sweet…

A few of mine that I've really been vibing with recently: - Rabbit & Wolves blog (she has a Southern Vegan cookbook that I love!!) - Vegan Richa (excellent Everyday cookbook) - Minimalist Baker I also recently picked up some cookbooks from Chloe Coscarelli that I'm excited about! She won a Food Network program a few years…

@eturtlet that salad sounds delicious 😯 It's ok to be somewhere in between. Heck, we've all had to learn to like veggies to some degree. I've found that I'm trying a lot of different types of foods now that I'm not looking at the animal products on the menu, and I've tried things I didn't even know exists!! Herbs, spices,…
-
Heck yeah @Ghostofachance thanks for sharing! I've found that I don't really miss animal products as much as I thought either, it was a refreshing revelation 🤷♀️ I'm still struggling with cheese though sometimes - the sweet siren song of Dominos pizza calls to me occasionally 😂 But mostly I'm plant based because my body…

Update: If you prefer to join a group, I've started one as well! Come join us :) https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/144049-plant-based-pals-support-and-motivation

I'll give it a start - I've slowly been transitioning from an omnivore diet to vegetarian, and now I'm leaning very heavily plant-based! Dairy doesn't seem to be my friend these days, so I'm doing it for health and ethical reasons. As I usually describe to my other friends - I don't care what you eat! I'm just really…

Hey, new here too! Sending hugs and support to you on your journey. Hopefully we can all motivate each other together and keep at it 😊 Every day is a chance to learn something new!

Thanks for sharing! Hopefully I'll be able to join and contribute to whatever team I'm put on! (Hopefully Hufflepuff, not Slytherin!)
