Answer
Veggie Meatloaf

You won't miss the meat in this flavorful dish! Serve with mashed potatoes for a great meal! You can also substitute diced eggplant for the mushrooms.

INGREDIENTS:
1 cup uncooked white rice
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 onion, finely chopped
1 cup cooked lentils
1 cup chopped fresh mushrooms
1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
salt and pepper to taste
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1/2 cup ketchup

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
In a saucepan bring 2 cups water to a boil. Add rice and stir. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Saute onions until tender. Set aside.
In a large bowl combine cooked rice, lentils, mushrooms, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, egg, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, parsley and cooked onions; mix well. Press mixture into prepared pan; spread ketchup on top of loaf.
Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes.


Hariton's 'Famous' Vegetarian Casserole

This is a very tasty dish consisting of all kinds of fresh vegetables and herbs baked in the oven. This will tantalize your taste buds. It has been a sell-out at our Greek Church at every function for five years now. We serve this on toasted, warm pita bread.

Original recipe yield: 36 servings.

INGREDIENTS:
8 large eggplants
8 large potatoes
8 green bell peppers
8 large onions
8 summer squash
6 tomatoes
1 pound fresh green beans
1 pound whole fresh mushrooms
2 bulbs garlic, cloves separated and peeled
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill weed
1/4 cup chopped fresh oregano
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
3/4 cup olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS:
Prepare the eggplant before assembling ingredients, by cutting them into 2 inch chunks and putting them into an extra large bowl with salted water to cover. This will draw out the bitterness from the eggplant. Let this sit for about 3 hours.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Cut the potatoes, green bell peppers, onion, squash and tomatoes into 2-inch chunks. Cut the green beans and mushrooms in half and peel the garlic cloves.
Drain and rinse the eggplant, then combine it with all the other chopped vegetables, the dill, oregano and basil and place all into a 3x13x18 inch roasting pan. Pour the tomato sauce and olive oil over all.
Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 2 1/2 hours, adding a little water about halfway through cooking time to keep moist.


Easy Peach Cobbler
This is a great peach cobbler--so easy a child can make it! It is great right out of the oven served with vanilla ice cream.

INGREDIENTS:
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1 cup self-rising flour
1 cup milk
1 (15 ounce) can peaches

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
In a one-quart baking dish or 9 inch square pan, cream together sugar and butter. Mix in flour and milk until smooth. Pour peaches and their juice over the top.
Bake 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown.

Note: I didn't have self rising flour, so I used (according to a "substitutions" website I found) 1 cup of flour (minus 2 tsp), 1/2 tsp salt and 1 1/2 tsp baking powder for every cup of self rising flour.

How do I tell my mom, I want to become a...?




AmyAddicti


Vegetarian.
I love animals, and I don't want to see them get hurt, and know that I'm eating it.
I have eaten meat all of my life, and I just don't want to anymore.
Please help me because, all we eat in my house is meat.
And I know this will be a healthier lifestyle.
Thanks!



Answer
First, you must do some research.

Your mother's primary concern will likely be your health, so be sure you can answer her questions. Have sources that demonstrate that it is perfectly possible for you to grow up strong and healthy without eating meat (or having a gallon of milk and 6 eggs a day to "make up for it").

Know the nutritional requirements for a fe/male your age and size (taking into account level of physical activity) and come up with examples of good vegetarian sources of the various nutrients. She will probably be mostly concerned about protein and iron. She might ask about B vitamins. Look it up, know how much you need and where you'll get it from.

Do some additional research so you can point out the health benefits of vegetarianism. (Not only do you want to demonstrate that it isn't dangerous to be a vegetarian, you want to show that it's actually beneficial.)

Get some recipes and cookbooks and learn how to make some stuff. You will be cooking for yourself a lot more these days. It is unfair and immature to expect your mom to start making a separate meal for you every night, so get ready for some Emeril action. (Note: yelling BAM! randomly might make your parents think you've gone off the deep end, so keep it down to a dull roar.)

If you are old enough to work, get a part-time job so you can purchase cookbooks and any special ingredients you may want (tofu, seitan, nut milk, etc). If you get an allowance or have money from birthday or holiday gifts, use some of it to invest in literature and/or exotic food. Heck, see if Mom and Dad will pay you to wash the car or mow the lawn. Use that money to buy stuff. (Being willing to invest your own time and money in a venture shows people that you're serious.)

Offer to help cook dinner once in awhile. Say everyone is having meatloaf for dinner. Say that you'll do the mashed potatoes and veggie. Make the salad as well. Make a rich mushroom gravy for everyone to use (if you make your own stock for it, it'll be extra-good). Heat yourself up a Boca burger (or whatever "central protein piece" you want) and help Mom serve. If everyone is having spaghetti with meatballs, ask Mom to buy the chunky extra-veggie sauce and set some aside for you before she adds the meatballs. Make the garlic bread and chop the onions, garlic, mushrooms, etc for her. In other words, you need to demonstrate that this is not going to create a lot of extra work for her.

Best of luck to you.

Stuffing doesn't have to be cooked inside a turkey - this vegetarian bread stuffing with apples and walnuts is delicious baked as a casserole.
Yield 10 servings
Time an hour
Tools

* large frying pan
* wooden spoon
* large mixing bowl
* two medium or one very large casserole(s), with lids

Ingredients

* ¾ c butter
* 2 c onion, chopped
* 2 c celery, chopped
* 1-2 t salt
* pepper
* 3 t sage
* 3 t thyme
* 1 t marjoram
* 1 t rosemary
* ½ c fresh parsley, chopped
* 2-3 T apple cider vinegar
* 16 c bread cubes*
* 4 c green apples, chopped
* 1½ c raisins (optional)
* 1½ c lightly toasted walnuts, minced
* 2 c vegetable stock

Directions Melt butter or olive oil over medium high heat and sauté onion and celery until soft and starting to turn golden. Add salt, pepper, herb, and vinegar. Mix well and remove from heat.

Preheat oven to 350.

In the bowl, combine bread, apples, raisins, and walnuts. Stir in onion mixture until well combined.

Toss with half of the stock and check consistency - you want the stuffing to be moist but not soggy. Add more stock as needed, then taste and adjust seasonings.

Butter the casseroles, add stuffing, cover, and bake for 45 minutes.







Vegetarian Stuffing
3/4 cup onion, diced
1/2 cup celery, diced
1/2 cup apple, peeled and diced
2 tsp dried or 3 tbsp. minced fresh parsley
1/2 tsp dried sage
1/4 tsp salt
pinch cayenne pepper
4 cups bread cubes (white or whole grain)
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional)
10-12 tbsp strong vegetable broth* (up to 3/4 cup)

Preheat the oven to 350F and lightly grease a 1.5-quart baking dish.
In a small frying pan, sautee the onion, celery and apple until tender with the parsley, sage, salt, cayenne (or regular pepper, if you prefer). This should take about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
In a large bowl, combine the bread cubes with onion mixture, cranberries, pecans, vegetable broth, adding slightly more if the bread is very absorbant (some need more liquids), and mix well. Taste one of the cubes and, if necessary, add additional salt or pepper.
Pour into prepared casserole dish and cover with aluminum foil. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes, until top is crisp and golden.
Serve immediately.

Why does healthy food have to taste so bad?




ya_bish


when i look up healthy recipes, it's always some plain tasting bullshit that i would never eat. it's always something like "roast chicken with rosemary" or "bread crumb baked chicken fingers". they never have other types of foods besides stereotypical american food that my family never eats. my mom is from the philippines, so she makes a lot of filipino food. and my dad is black, so we also eat southern style food too sometimes. does anyone know any healthy recipies that aren't boring and dull?

here are some shitty recipes i've found just to give a reference:

http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Turkey-Veggie-Meatloaf-Cups/Detail.aspx?evt19=1



Answer
It depends on what you are talking about when you say "healthy food".
I eat a very low fat, good carb, high protein diet and I'm sorry but it tastes a million times better than the nasty fatty traditional American diet. I cannot stand fat and grease in everything. In fact my digestive system physically cannot handle it after a while anymore. I've been eating healthy too long.
So no, healthy food does not taste bad.

I think what you are complaining about is the fact that it doesn't taste like what you want it to taste like (fatty food). Sorry but it's not going to taste anything like nasty unhealthy food.
That's the biggest issue that American's have. They are too used to eating disgusting and nasty food that anything "healthy" isn't good enough.
It's like why an alcoholic will complain if all you are giving them is light beer vs. hard liquor.

You will not be able to knock off unhealthy food and make it taste good healthy. When you make non-fat mac and cheese it isn't going to have the same flavor and texture you are looking for.
However those foods like mac and cheese should be consumed in moderation. Eat the unhealthy kind every now and then to get your fix. But if you are looking for unhealthy replacements because that is all you eat, it's time to re-evaulate your whole diet.

It does take time to get used to healthy food. Your body is addicted to fat, sodium, and cholesterol.

To answer the question I know plenty of healthy recipes.
Most of the recipes you use now can be made healthy when you only prepare them with non-fat or low fat diary products, lean meat (sirloin steak, NO less than 93/7 ground beef, and boneless skinless chicken breasts (thighs are NOT healthy skinless or not.)), and you replace carbs with the whole wheat or high fiber options. Plus add more veggies. Each meal should have a fruit or veggie (1-3 servings).

What Vegetarian Meat substitutes actually taste like meat?

vegetarian meatloaf recipe best
 on Vegetarian Mushroom-Walnut Meatloaf Recipe - Allrecipes.com
vegetarian meatloaf recipe best image



Adrianna C


My girlfriend is trying to eat less meat and I found a recipie for vegetarian lasagna, but it calls for meat substitute. Does this actually taste like meat?


Answer
Umm no, she does mean girlfriend. I don't know if you've heard, but some girls like girls. =P

I've never found a meat substitute that tasted exactly like meat, but I have had some that are so good that you don't miss the meat. I crumble tempeh into my vegan chili and it provides the meaty texture and comes out delicious. I fill lasagna with mushrooms and eggplant. I maake meatloaf with a blend of blak beans, lentils, and rye. I've heard that seitan also works very well in meat-centered recipes, such as vegan cheese steaks. I've never tried it because I am sensitive to gluten, but I've heard it's very good and meaty.

What do you eat when your money is tight?




Milkbone


Thanksgiving is around a corner, but my money is tight lol. What does people eat when their money is tight? I cook some ground beefs like meatloaf, spagettie, sloppy joe or humberger helper, but getting bored. Any other ideas?


Answer
Meat is expensive. I eat a lot of beans to get my protein with only enough meat for flavoring. These can all be cooked in a slow cooker while you are at work.
dry Navy beans cooked with a ham hock. cornbread
dry Butter beans cooked with chicken backs. slice of hot home made bread.
dry Pinto beans with beef ribs. toasted garlic bread.
Kidney bean salad. (1 can kidney beans, 1 hard boiled egg, pickles, & onion chopped, mayo)
Pork & beans made into baked beans with chunks of ham. and scalloped potatoes.
Refried beans and rice. add some shredded pork and you have a meal.

The beans are about $1. for a 1lb. bag which will easily make two meals for 2 people-----$.50 per meal....plus another $1.00 for the meat that is $2.50 for the beans, .50 for the bread and a .35 to add a potato...for a total of $3.35 for a meal for two of beans cooked in meat broth, bread, and a potato.
________________________________________
Eat potatoes...mashed, fried, hash browns, boiled, baked, potato cakes, scalloped, oven fried, creamed with peas or carrots....
A 10 lb. bag of potatoes is $4. on sale for less. You get at least 25 potatoes in that for two people that would be a veggie for each meal for 12 days. (.35 per meal for 2)

Refried Beans Recipe
2 1/2 cups of dry pinto beans (about 1 lb or 450gm)
3 quarts of water
1/2 cup chopped onion (optional)
2 Tbsp (or more to taste) pork lard, bacon fat, or olive oil (for vegetarian option)
1/4 cup water
Salt to taste
Cheddar cheese (optional)
1 Rinse the beans in water and remove any small stones, pieces of dirt, or bad beans.
2 Cook the beans in water.
Regular method Put beans into a pot and cover beans with at least 3 inches of water - about 3 quarts for 2 1/2 cups of dry beans. Bring to a boil and then lower heat to simmer, covered, for about 2 1/2 hours. The cooking time will vary depending on the batch of beans you have. The beans are done when they are soft and the skin is just beginning to break open.
Strain the beans from the cooking water.
3 Add the onions and lard/fat/oil to a wide, sturdy (not with a flimsy stick-free lining) frying pan on medium high heat. Cook onions until translucent. (Note the onions are optional, you can skip them if you want.) Add the strained beans and about a 1/4 cup of water to the pan. Using a potato masher, mash the beans in the pan, while you are cooking them, until they are a rough purée. Add more water if necessary to keep the fried beans from getting too dried out. Add salt to taste. Add a few slices of cheddar cheese, or some (1/2 cup) grated cheddar cheese if you want. When beans are heated through (and optional cheese melted) the beans are ready to serve.

What do you use your food processor for? Can you give me some ideas for great meals that use a processor?




Naptown Mo


Just bought one because on the food network they use it for virtually everything but now I can't remember any recipes. What are some good recipes that you use often in a processor for dinners?
I am actually making meatloaf tonight but didn't know if I could put the meat in the processor? I chopped the onions and everything in there.



Answer
It's so nice to have a processor. Gyoza and meatloaf are so easy to make in the process. Here are a few more recipes we use it for. =)

Red Lentil Soup with Curry and Coconut Milk

4 to 6 servings

* 3 Tbs. vegetable oil
* 2 medium onions, chopped (2 cups)
* 1 cup red lentils
* 3 medium carrots, peeled and roughly chopped (1 cup)
* 14-oz. can coconut milk
* 1 bay leaf
* 3 cloves garlic, minced
* 1-inch piece fresh ginger, minced
* 1 Tbs. curry powder, preferably hot
* 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
1. In medium saucepan, heat 2 Tbs. oil over medium heat. Add onions, and cook, stirring often, until onions start to brown, about 10 minutes. Add 4 cups water, lentils, carrots, coconut milk, 1 tsp. salt and bay leaf. Cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer, partially covered, until lentils are tender, about 20 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, in small skillet, heat remaining 1 Tbs. oil over medium heat. Add garlic, ginger, curry powder and cilantro. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add to soup.
3. Remove bay leaf. In food processor or blender, puree soup in batches until velvety smooth. Taste, and add a bit more salt if desired. Serve hot.

7-Vegetable Chicken Stew with Dumplings (You can add different veggies if you choose.)

SERVES 4

* 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, each breast cut in 2 or 3 pieces
* 4 small potatoes, preferably red ones,cut into quarters
* 2 carrots, peeled and coarsely chopped
* 2 onions, peeled and quartered
* 2 stalks celery, sliced
* 1 1/2 cups cubed, peeled rutabagas
* 1 1/2 cups cubed, peeled sweet potatoes
* 4 cups chicken stock
* 1 teaspoon dried thyme
* 1/2 teaspoon dried sage
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
* 1 cup frozen peas

Dumplings

* 1 cup all-purpose flour
* 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
* 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
* 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 cup milk, preferably lowfat milk

1. In a large pot, combine chicken, all veg except peas, stock and spices; bring to a boil over high heat.
2. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, for 20 minutes; stir in peas.
3. Meanwhile, in a food processor or by hand, make dumplings: combine flour, parsley, butter, baking powder and salt until mixture is in coarse crumbs; stir in milk, then drop by tablespoonfuls onto the hot stew; you should have about 6 mounds.
4. Cover pot and simmer-- don't boil hard and DON'T lift the lid-- for 15 minutes.
http://www.recipezaar.com/7-Vegetable-Chicken-Stew-with-Dumplings-16412

Update: Most recipes say to process other ingredients and add to meat by hand but some don't. Example : " Mix all the ingredients except the meat in the food processor. Add the meat and pulse until fully incorporated with the other ingredients." http://blogs.familyeducation.com/parenting/moms/sweet-pea-chef/ten-rrific-recipe-9-food-processor-meatloaf
It depends the ingredients you're using and how you like the texture. I would tend to use it more with ground turkey and less with ground beef.
Alton Brown doesn't use the processor for the meat and adds wants you to not even squeeze the meat. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/good-eats-meat-loaf-recipe/index.html

What are the benifits of becoming a vegetarian???

vegetarian meatloaf recipe tofu
 on ... TVP and Tofu Meatloaf Recipe - Healthy-Recipes, Vegetarian Recipes
vegetarian meatloaf recipe tofu image



theraptor


I am interested in becoming a vegetarian. It is health driven as well as cruelty toward animals driven. Are the health benifits worth giving up meat? Also any advice to giving up meat would be appreciated and how to handle family situations when the rest of family and friends eat meat would be appreciated!!!!


Answer
Oh my gosh, some people are so silly. You can have a healthy diet as a vegetarian just like you can have one as a meat eater. I'm not a vegetarian but I do have a few vegetarian recipes that I use and my meat eating family loves them.

Stay away from the processed "fake meats" though, those aren't healthy by any stretch of the imagination. You can do wonders with tofu, and I even make a meatloaf with cottage cheese that is suprisingly good. Here's a few I use if you'd like to try them.

As for your family and friends, they'll get used to it eventually. My family freaked a bit when my sister went vegetarian but now everyone's used to it. Good luck to you!

Does anyone have a recipe for vegetarian "meatballs"?

best vegetarian meatloaf recipe ever
 on Best-Ever Meatloaf |
best vegetarian meatloaf recipe ever image



Molly


My mom has this recipe for AWESOME meatballs and sauce. I recently stopped eating meat, but I do really miss that dish! It's even been christened "Molly Meatballs" after me, LOL. :)

So I was wondering, is there a recipe for "veg-balls" or something? (I was figuring I would just use the same sauce to coat them like in the original recipe.)

Thanks!



Answer
http://www.recipezaar.com/Vegetarian-meatballs-11028

Read the reviews for pointers. Here's what one reviewer said:

This is easily the best meat substitute recipe I've found. I altered the recipe a bit to make it more like an actual meatball recipe. The most helpful thing you can do is to grind up the walnuts in a food processor. Otherwise, your meatballs have a little too much crunch in them to pass for meat. Once you do that, take out a 1/4 cup of the cheddar cheese, and replace it with parmesan cheese. It also helps to add basil, oregano, parsley, garlic, and a little salt and pepper. Make you sure you keep turning the meatballs every few minutes as you brown them in the oven, or they will burn. Then, when finished browning, instead of pouring vegetable broth over them, throw them right into your pot of pasta sauce to finish cooking. These will look and taste like real meatballs. I've already had three meat-eaters tell me they could not tell the difference!! Highly recommended.

So many glowing reviews and so many people saying they couldn't tell the difference between this and meatballs.

Here's another:
Update: I have since made these for potluck dinners and NO ONE believes me when I tell them that they have no beef in them. My brother in law is a meat and potatoes kind of guy and declared to my sister that they were "the best meatballs he had ever had!" I decided to experiment a little and tried the mixture in a meatloaf...very tasty. My next experiment is to see if it can replace ground meat in tacos or chili

Wow!! I can't wait to try them myself!!

You think i should be a vegetarian?

Q. I have done i before but i lasted 2 weeks,
But i really want to be one because i love animals :( and i have just recently quit smoking so i wanna put my goal on something else,

could some one please write me out a guide to be one,

Or give me the url for a guide to take me through step by step,?

Giving best answer!


Answer
To me Loving animals is a Great Reason to be a vegetarian. It is not hard to be one and keep being one. First you must make a commitment to yourself that you not going to eat their bodies anymore even if you like how they taste. You are going to put their lives before your taste buds. I think loving animals and remembering that will keep you going. The first month is the hardest and only because you are used to eating animals. It is habit like anything else. Every day decide what you are having for breakfast . That is easy, Breakfast:cereal, oatmeal, toast,waffles, pancakes, english muffins, donuts, also mock breakfast meats as veggie bacon , veggie patties etc.
Lunch: make a sandwich ( no meat), a bean burrito, bean taco, veggie wrap, humus, falafel on pita, salads, soups, use mock meats as veggie burgers, veggie dogs with beans, veggie sausage etc
Dinner: Pasta a zillion ways, marinara, with pesto, alfredo,prima vera, with beans, veggie lasagna, or have sauteed or roasted veggies over rice, a curry dish, use mock meats to make almost any "meat dish", stews, soups,casseroles, potatoes( fried, roasted, mashed, boiled), tamales, veggie meatballs, veggie meatloaf with mashed potatoes, Tofurkey with pecan cranberry,salads, and even veggie sloppy joes.
These are just a few ideas... eat fresh fruits as apples , bananas, berries and drink fruit juice as OJ fortified with calcium
snack on nuts as almonds, peanuts, cashews, ect
snack on raw veggies as baby carrots or celery ( and use salad dressing as a dip) , I eat lots of raw veggies as well as cooked ones
If you can begin to change to soy or almond milks(they all taste different so it will be trial and error) I like Regular unflavored Silk ( refrigerator section) and Almond breeze chocolate (not refrigerated)

Things to avoid anything with Gelatin, anything with L-Cysteine, Carmine, and Confectioners glaze( the last 2 are bug guts found in lots of candies), avoid any beef, chicken or animal broths in soups and many times in rice dishes, and in cheese make sure it says non animal rennet ( otherwise the cow is killed as animal rennet comes from their 4th stomach).
I would say start here and everyday think to yourself I will not eat an animal today. Soon you will not even think of ever eating one again because your heart is in it and the more you know, the more commited you will be. Do not panic if you make a mistake , just fix it for the next time and keep going.

Good luck and stick with it ( I read some of your other questions and I would say do not try to be a vegan yet, yes you can begin to buy non leather shoes and bags as what you have wears out, and use products not tested on animals, but do not put that much pressure on yourself all at once)

Please email me if I can help or answer questions about any products.
I also suggest you look over PETA's website and read all as well as
check out vegweb.com for recipes

One last thing Vegetarians do not eat any type of Fish ever including shellfish. Fish are living animals until they are killed and gutted for someone to eat them and absolutely not vegetarian. You probably know that, but some people are confused.

Does anyone have a recipe for vegan meatloaf that does not call for tofu?
Thanks Matt. Not exactly simple, haha, but it's vegan and it doesn't have tofu. :)



Answer
Buy some TVP (textured vegetable protein) most large grochery stores carry it. You can also get it at a health food store.

2 cups TVP
1 cup water
1 cup bbq sauce
1 table spoon corn starch
Wheat flour as needed

Mix water and bbq sauce and heat till almost boiling. Add TVP. Let stand for a few minutes. Add corn starch then a little flour until it make a nice ball. Put into a loaf pan and cook the same way you would a true meat loaf.

Cookbooks for beginners and/or college students?

vegan meatloaf recipes best
 on Vegetarian Meatloaf | Best Meatloaf Recipes
vegan meatloaf recipes best image



Bookworm


My brother intends to move out of his dorm and into an apartment. He's never really cooked before (stuck with the microwave and toaster.) I see a variety of beginner/college student cookbooks, but I was wondering if people had suggestions.

He's not vegetarian/vegan and he doesn't have any dietary needs/allergies at this time. (Maybe he will depending on his roommates, but that's not set yet.)

What do you suggest?



Answer
There are some really good "3 ingredient" and "4 ingredient" cookbooks for sale (I think I saw the 4 ingredient one at Costco)

These are a great starting point & not very intimidating. And, of course, you can totally spice things up to taste!

(I'm not much of a cook either! LOL - please check out my meatloaf recipe question!)

Is there such thing as "vegetarian" meatloaf? Can you help provide a recipe?




Terry 81


By meatloaf, I mean something that sort of resembles a meatloaf made from ground beef (except using soy flour or some other vegetarian ingredient). It can contain eggs and/or milk-- no need to be vegan. Thanks.


Answer
Here's the meatloaf recipe I use...I found it on vegcooking.com. The ironic thing about this is that I HATED meatloaf when I was a meat-eater, but I like this version (go figure!). Enjoy!

~Mama's Mock Meatloaf~
Better than what mom used to make. Serve it with ketchup, mashed potatoes, and gravy.

1 medium onion, diced
1/2 green pepper, diced (optional)
3 Tbsp. vegetable oil
2 packages beef–flavor Gimme Lean Beef
1/4 cup oatmeal, dry
2 slices white bread, crumbled
3 Tbsp. ketchup
2 tsp. garlic salt
1 tsp. pepper

Coating ingredients:
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp. dry mustard
1/2 tsp. nutmeg

• Sauté the onion and green pepper in the oil over medium heat until soft. Combine in a bowl with the ground beef alternative, oatmeal, bread, ketchup, garlic salt, and pepper. Thoroughly mix with a spoon or your hands.
• Press the mixture into an oiled loaf pan. Cover with foil and bake at 375 degrees F for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix together the ingredients for the coating and set aside.
• Remove the loaf from the oven and turn it out onto a baking sheet. Spread the coating over the entire loaf. Cook, uncovered, for another 15 minutes.

Vegetarian snacks easily portable in a cooler. Need ideas please! I am going on a trip this weekend.?

all recipes vegetarian meatloaf with vegetables image



lissabeth


There are 3 couples taking a weekend trip. 2 of them are riding their Harleys there, we are trailering ours due to no saddle bags. One of the women is a vegetarian, and I would like to get a few ideas for snacks or easy dishes.
We have a rented cabin with a kitchen, but one never knows what kind of utensils or dishes will be available and we really don't know what we will find to shop for. I will be taking a cooler and I thought about taking ingredients for stuffed mushrooms or stuffed cherry tomatoes. I would mix the (stuffings) before I leave then it would be easy to get them ready upon arrival.



Answer
Some good snacks for the road are dried fruit, trail mix, primal strips (vegan jerky), and/or granola...plus I found some ideas for dinner. A vegan meat loaf can be mixed ahead of time...the recipe is below:

Vegan Meatloaf
Adapted from a recipe in The Joy of Cooking, 1997 Edition
1 14oz. package GimmeLean
3/4 cup finely chopped onions
1/2 cup quick-cooking rolled oats
1/3 cup ketchup
1/3 cup finely chopped parsley
1/2 tsp. thyme
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper
3 tbsp applesauce
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tbsp all-purpose white flour

Mix all ingredients together in a big bowl with your hands until they just come together. Joy of Cooking warns you not to overmix, though I can't imagine anything too terrible could happen if you did.

Put in a lightly oiled loaf pan and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 45 minutes.

The site where the recipe came from also has some assorted recipes that may be helpful in sparking some ideas that you can run past your vegetarian friend who will be traveling with you.

Answer
Veggie Meatloaf

You won't miss the meat in this flavorful dish! Serve with mashed potatoes for a great meal! You can also substitute diced eggplant for the mushrooms.

INGREDIENTS:
1 cup uncooked white rice
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 onion, finely chopped
1 cup cooked lentils
1 cup chopped fresh mushrooms
1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
salt and pepper to taste
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1/2 cup ketchup

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
In a saucepan bring 2 cups water to a boil. Add rice and stir. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Saute onions until tender. Set aside.
In a large bowl combine cooked rice, lentils, mushrooms, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, egg, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, parsley and cooked onions; mix well. Press mixture into prepared pan; spread ketchup on top of loaf.
Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes.


Hariton's 'Famous' Vegetarian Casserole

This is a very tasty dish consisting of all kinds of fresh vegetables and herbs baked in the oven. This will tantalize your taste buds. It has been a sell-out at our Greek Church at every function for five years now. We serve this on toasted, warm pita bread.

Original recipe yield: 36 servings.

INGREDIENTS:
8 large eggplants
8 large potatoes
8 green bell peppers
8 large onions
8 summer squash
6 tomatoes
1 pound fresh green beans
1 pound whole fresh mushrooms
2 bulbs garlic, cloves separated and peeled
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill weed
1/4 cup chopped fresh oregano
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
3/4 cup olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS:
Prepare the eggplant before assembling ingredients, by cutting them into 2 inch chunks and putting them into an extra large bowl with salted water to cover. This will draw out the bitterness from the eggplant. Let this sit for about 3 hours.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Cut the potatoes, green bell peppers, onion, squash and tomatoes into 2-inch chunks. Cut the green beans and mushrooms in half and peel the garlic cloves.
Drain and rinse the eggplant, then combine it with all the other chopped vegetables, the dill, oregano and basil and place all into a 3x13x18 inch roasting pan. Pour the tomato sauce and olive oil over all.
Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 2 1/2 hours, adding a little water about halfway through cooking time to keep moist.


Easy Peach Cobbler
This is a great peach cobbler--so easy a child can make it! It is great right out of the oven served with vanilla ice cream.

INGREDIENTS:
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1 cup self-rising flour
1 cup milk
1 (15 ounce) can peaches

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
In a one-quart baking dish or 9 inch square pan, cream together sugar and butter. Mix in flour and milk until smooth. Pour peaches and their juice over the top.
Bake 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown.

Note: I didn't have self rising flour, so I used (according to a "substitutions" website I found) 1 cup of flour (minus 2 tsp), 1/2 tsp salt and 1 1/2 tsp baking powder for every cup of self rising flour.

Trying to make quick, healthy, mostly vegan food for College (vegetarian is ok too)?

vegetarian meatloaf walnuts recipe

vegetarian meatloaf walnuts recipe image



ashley_kay


So, this is going to be my second semester in College. Only thing is that last semester I had enough time to run home to my appt and eat lunch. This time I added more classes, meaning no running home for lunch (home is a mile away, but my school/appt is on a very busy road and it takes about 30 mins to get home. I only have 10 mins between most classes now. Can't do!)

I'm vegetarian with mostly vegan tendancies. So more of the vegan recipies I get, the better! (Of course vegetarian too.)

Eating at the college cafeteria isnt an option. It's a community college, and it's in the south. Everything is deep fried and most likely chicken on a biscuit. Im not an amature cook, either, but Im in school now with a tight schedule. Simple yet healthy/low cal/low fat would be awsome. When I get home I normally have a decently fattening/calorie laden meal, Ala' Amy's Organic something-or-other for dinner.

Snack ideas, or even breakfast ideas, would help alot too.



Answer
Hi, great choice to become a vegan. I totally understand what you are going through. The good thing about the following meal ideas is that they are so fast,easy to make and healthy/low cal/low fat.

I am also a student and have been a vegan for almost four years now. I am still the only one in the whole entire family of 50+ meat lovers, so as you can imagine I had to be extremely focused, determined and self motivated to pull it off. I remember my first days as a vegan asking around on-line and I never got any satisfactory answers, so I had to learn it the hard way. Through that experience I decided to help others and share my knowledge with you.
FYI WITH THE FOLLOWING RECIPIES YOU WILL GET ALL THE VITAMINS YOU NEED. HOWEVER YOU MIGHT WANT TO TAKE SOME VITAMINS AND PROTIEN POWDER ON THE SIDE! Don’t forget to regularly see the doctor.

The Hallelujah Diet is being used by hundreds and thousands of people around the world to accomplish what our present day medical system cannot. People are getting well from a wide array of disorders. In fact the Hallelujah Diet has been so successful that is was recently adopted by the successful Oasis of Hope hospital. Why? You've probably heard the saying "God chose the simple things to confound the wise". You can't get any simpler than the Hallelujah Diet. God didn't create our bodies to run on drugs or artificial, over processed and over cooked foods. Look at what God created us to eat, feed it to your body for several months, get a little exercise and you will be amazed at the difference. It is time to stop fighting the symptoms and change what we eat! There recently was a news report on TV on a large study that proved that folks in the 60's and older benefit more from fresh fruits and vegetables than they do from vitamins. Amazing, perhaps they'll prove that God was right after all....

I think that being vegan is quite similar to this diet in that you are leading a healthy lifestyle.

she wont eat fruits or veggies!?




Justsmile


my sister is very picky with food. she wont eat fruits or veggies. she only eats apples and bananas but very rarely. and she'll only eat them if she cant taste them, like in meatloaf or fried rice. but im getting worried because i dont think she's had a fruit or vegetable in a long time and from what she's telling me, i think she's anemic! so can you give me recipes or advice or sumthin cuz i love her to death and i dont want her to get sick. thx a lot and plz no rude/stupid answers


Answer
- If your sister is a non-vegetarian, I would not worry about Iron. Iron in meats is ample and more bio-available than in fruits and vegetables

-Let us examine all the food groups
Grains - Does she eat enough whole-grains? about 6 oz per day
Dairy - Does she drink at least 2 cups of milk per day
Proteins - Does she eat good quality 5 to 6 oz of proteins every day
Eggs, skinless poultry, trimmed meats and nuts
Fats - Does she eat good fats high in omega 3
Walnuts Salmon Tuna

If al the other foods are plenty, your sister is not in such a big trouble. Fruits and vegetables provide vitamins and minerals. The basic vitamin she would have problem is in getting Vitamin C. If she drinks enough milk and eats whole eggs, B vitamins should not be problem. II am not saying that fruits and vegetables are not important, they are because her diet will wind up high in Cholesterol and triglycerides.

Your sister should be glad that you care.
I hope it was not a rude or stupid answer.

Does anyone have a recipe for vegetarian stuffing?

vegetarian meatloaf walnuts recipe
 on Vegetarian Meatloaf Low Fat Recipes | Yummly
vegetarian meatloaf walnuts recipe image



Heather


I'm looking for something easy and without too many ingredients. Thanks.


Answer
Ingredients

* 1 (1 pound) loaf day-old bread, torn into small pieces
* 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
* 1 (10.5 ounce) can vegetable broth
* 2 tablespoons water
* 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
* salt to taste
* ground black pepper to taste
* 1/2 cup wild rice, cooked (optional)
* 1/4 cup dried cranberries (optional)
* 1/2 cup fresh mushrooms (optional)
* 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)
* 1/4 cup cubed apples (optional)

Directions

1. Mix together the bread, cream of mushroom soup, vegetable broth, water, poultry seasoning, and salt and pepper to taste. Add any or all of the optional ingredients as desired. It will be sticky. Shape into a loaf and wrap in (nonstick, sprayed) foil to bake.
2. Bake for about an hour at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). You can slice it like a meatloaf and serve.






Stuffing doesn't have to be cooked inside a turkey - this vegetarian bread stuffing with apples and walnuts is delicious baked as a casserole.
Yield 10 servings
Time an hour
Tools

* large frying pan
* wooden spoon
* large mixing bowl
* two medium or one very large casserole(s), with lids

Ingredients

* ¾ c butter
* 2 c onion, chopped
* 2 c celery, chopped
* 1-2 t salt
* pepper
* 3 t sage
* 3 t thyme
* 1 t marjoram
* 1 t rosemary
* ½ c fresh parsley, chopped
* 2-3 T apple cider vinegar
* 16 c bread cubes*
* 4 c green apples, chopped
* 1½ c raisins (optional)
* 1½ c lightly toasted walnuts, minced
* 2 c vegetable stock

Directions Melt butter or olive oil over medium high heat and sauté onion and celery until soft and starting to turn golden. Add salt, pepper, herb, and vinegar. Mix well and remove from heat.

Preheat oven to 350.

In the bowl, combine bread, apples, raisins, and walnuts. Stir in onion mixture until well combined.

Toss with half of the stock and check consistency - you want the stuffing to be moist but not soggy. Add more stock as needed, then taste and adjust seasonings.

Butter the casseroles, add stuffing, cover, and bake for 45 minutes.







Vegetarian Stuffing
3/4 cup onion, diced
1/2 cup celery, diced
1/2 cup apple, peeled and diced
2 tsp dried or 3 tbsp. minced fresh parsley
1/2 tsp dried sage
1/4 tsp salt
pinch cayenne pepper
4 cups bread cubes (white or whole grain)
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional)
10-12 tbsp strong vegetable broth* (up to 3/4 cup)

Preheat the oven to 350F and lightly grease a 1.5-quart baking dish.
In a small frying pan, sautee the onion, celery and apple until tender with the parsley, sage, salt, cayenne (or regular pepper, if you prefer). This should take about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
In a large bowl, combine the bread cubes with onion mixture, cranberries, pecans, vegetable broth, adding slightly more if the bread is very absorbant (some need more liquids), and mix well. Taste one of the cubes and, if necessary, add additional salt or pepper.
Pour into prepared casserole dish and cover with aluminum foil. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes, until top is crisp and golden.
Serve immediately.

What foods are really good for you?




Kelly


I want to eat healthy all the time now, but i want to know some good but healthy foods I can eat, instead of junk food. I love sweets and I need something healthy to replace that. I'm only giving up junk food and I'm also going to try to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. Thank you! <3


Answer
*Fish of any kind...broiled or baked (any way but fried), especially salmon, tuna, etc...My personal favorite is tilapia. Season with something like Ms.Dash, cayenne pepper, etc.

* I personally don't eat beef (I don't like the taste), and it's also an added benefit that in general turkey is healthier. To add, it's not that you should never eat beef, it's that you should try to cut back on it if you do eat it and replace with ground turkey. So when I do eat things that normally use beef like burgers, meatloaf, chili, etc, I just replace it with ground turkey. But in general, I probably eat more Morningstar Farm Grillers & Boca Burgers.(vegetarian burgers). You can buy them in bulk BJ's or Sam's Club or you can look up an easy recipe for black bean burgers online. The good thing about the mock veggie burgers, you not only get your protein, but you get some of your vegetable needs too.

*Eat lots of vegetables like kale, collards, swiss chard, spinach, carrots, cabbage, baked potatoes(to a minimum), cucumbers, cauliflower (cauliflower mock mashed potatoes are really easy & taste exactly like mashed potatoes to me) broccoli, peas, onions, sweet potatoes, etc...It really just depends on what you like.

The same goes for fruit, whatever you like...Apples, bananas, strawberries, plums, grapes, mangoes, peaches, etc.

*Salads-Add things like beans, chicken, eggs, avocado, or canned tuna, for protein; & sprouts, tomatoes, carrots, cucumbers, corn, mandarin oranges, pineapple, apples, nuts, etc...Basically, you can add any fruit or vegetable you like. Just remember to keep your salad dressing healthy & try to make it a well-rounded salad/meal. Just google 'how to make a healthy salad' or 'what vegetables to add to salad', or something similar. I also love spinach salads & fruit salads. You can look up recipes online & tweak them to fit your own personal preference. Watch out for the heavy dressings. For instance, when I'm tired, I just make a spinach salad with walnuts, spinach, and strawberries & my dressing of choice instead of following a recipe.

It goes without saying to eat whole grains such as brown rice & wheat bread. I also eat low-fat cottage cheese (I don't dislike it, but for some reason, I can't just eat it plain, I have to mix it with peanut butter and honey, but you can eat it however you prefer). & I also drink lots of herbal teas, only sweetened with honey, but you can also use any type of natural sweetener you like.

To be honest, I have no problem eating really healthy, but I have a really bad sweet tooth, especially for chocolate, and nothing really combats that, not even dark chocolate, & the only thing I can recommend are granola bars, 100 calorie snack packs, skinny cow desserts, & lean cuisine desserts, all of which are still processed, but at the end of the day are still better than eating a 500 calorie dessert. Plus, you can look up a ton of low-fat, low-carb, low-calorie dessert recipes online...Basically, there's a ton of information you can find just browsing/researching online. Good luck.
