Mom to 2 b

I will be having a c-section in a few weeks and my husband will not be able to stay home and help as long as he did last time. He will only be able to take off work maybe 3-4 days. So I plan to make some casseroles and what not to put in the freezer so I don't have to worry about cooking. I would like recipes for things I can make ahead. I found a couple recipes I plan to use and I was thinking of making a big pot of veggie soup and putting it in multiple bowls in the freezer. What are some other things I can do so we're not eating the same thing every day and I don't have much to do other than heating the food? Thanks in advance!
I love crepes! I had no idea that those froze well.

Answer
I highly recommend a crock pot. You can make a beef roast with carrots, potatoes in the crock pot one morning, you won't have to do anything but put it in the crock pot, and then eat a freshly prepared meal later that evening. Keep your leftovers for roast beef sandwiches, hash and making beef vegetable soup.

You can do a lot of different meats and even vegetarian meals in the crock pot.

Baked spaghetti: make it now, layer it, freeze it and then reheat. The best thing is you can add extra veggies in the sauce or you can even make it meatless if that is your thing.

Lasagna: Buy the Stouffers frozen lasagna it is really a lot cheaper than making your own and it is really pretty good.

Broccoli casserole with ham: make your broccoli casserole as you normally would, add ham for a complete meal... freeze and reheat

frozen pizza-- or delivery!

I don't make a lot of stuff ahead of time, but here are some easy ideas:

baked potatoes (have the stuff for topping it on hand) and you can make bacon to top if your husband has to have a meat

meatloaf-- you can freeze a meatloaf, you mix the ingredients form the loaf, but do not cook it.. then freeze and you can bake when you are ready. look up the basic meatloaf by paula deen super easy and about the best meatloaf I have had

chili (can be frozen too): have chili tonight, and chili dogs tomorrow night

potato soup ( yep it can be frozen too)

cook a small ham (yep it can be frozen!). I prefer to buy a small boneless ham from the Honeybaked Ham shoppe... separate into meal servings and freeze. use the ham as toppings for salads, additions to soups, potatoes, to make sandwiches, or fry up and have ham and eggs for a meal.

Have you ever been to a vegetarian potluck?

Daughter o

Did you just love it? Was it at an SDA church?

Yes, I've been to an Adventist potluck and they are almost always with very very few exception vegetarian! SDA ladies know how to cook really good! Yes, I love vegetarian potlucks! Although I am not a vegetarian, I sure love vegetarian potlucks over the ones that serve meat!

Answer
I am an SDA also and have enjoyed / cooked for many vegetarian potlucks. Unlike traditional potlucks and family reunions where fried chicken, sloppy joes and meatloaf are the staples. I know there are many veggie cooks that use meat substitutes but I don't recall seeing many at our potlucks. However, the one exception is Special K loaf with carmelized onion gravy - yum yum.

One of the ladies makes the absolute best stuffed shells with tofu, fresh chopped spinach and homemade tomato sauce. Most of the ladies at my church are excellent cooks and I always look forward to the next potluck. It also gives me an excuse to try new recipes.

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.

• 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.

Do you know any simple recipes for a vegetarian meal or snack?
i have a hard time thinking of things to make quickly, that are actually somewhat healthy. i don't eat meat, fish, or geletin. But i do eat eggs sometimes. any ideas? :)

Answer
Get some baby carrots. You could also slice some cucumber, cut bell peppers into strips, get some grape tomatoes, and dip them in ranch dressing or hummus.

Baby carrots + cucumber + bell peppers + grape tomatoes + ranch dressing

Nachos are also a great snack but be sure to use some vegetarian cheese.

Mix all ingredients in a large bowl, adding cereal last, and spread in 13"X9"X2" baking pan slightly sprayed with Pam. Mixture will be quite thick.
Bake at 350 for one hour.

Add some water so that the pasta doesn't boil dry in the bottom. Cook it on medium or medium-high until the pasta is done. Sometimes you have to add a little water to keep the pasta cooking.

Earthchild

I do have my very own recipe of meatloaf. Which I call it ''Garden Meatloaf''. But that's the only recipe I have so far. I wish to have more meatloaf recipes. Do you guys have some good recipes to share with me?? Also, for those of you who are Vegetarian or Vegan, do you have a ''meatloaf'' recipe you can share with me please? I have family members that are Vegetarian. I have my own recipe book and wish to expand it some more:)
Thank you so much everyone for their recipes. Are there are any vegetarians or vegans who are willing to share their recipes for me?
Meant to say ..'' share their recipes with me?" Lol

Answer
Soak a piece of bread in milk till soft in big bowl. Add an egg, equal parts ground beef and ground pork, salt, pepper, minced onion, minced garlic, chopped fresh parsley, chopped fresh basil, freshly grated parmesan cheese, hot pepper if you likr spice, minced roasted sweet red pepper, and Worstershire sauce. Mix it all together. Press half of mixture into loaf pan. Press in a layer if fresh mozerella cheese, then the rest of the loaf mixture. Bake about an hour @ 350. I make meatballs using same recipe- I just wrap mix around cubes of fresh mozerella. So good with spaghetti. I make this using venison instead of beef- I don't use a loaf pan, I use a baking sheet and wrap raw bacon around the loaf. I didn't provide measurements because I never measure but compare to other meatloaf recipes and undoubtably you'll figure it out. This and some whole grain pasta tossed with fresh herbs, olice oil/butter mix and fresh grated parm is a big satisfying meal when you add a big salad or steamed veggies.

i want to make one but i cant find a recipe that looks good... i don't want anything that looks unappetizing.

Answer
If you have ever worked with Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP), you can use this as a substitute in any ground beef recipes, or you can use the fake meat crumbles from morningstar or Boca. I prefer TVP because it's just straight up vegetable protein and not "fake meat" and it's all natural, has a really great texture, it's easy to use and it's really cheap. The only thing is that you have to get it at a natural food store. If you live by a Whole Foods, you can get it in bulk. It comes dry and you just boil some water and watever other flavors you want (spices, soy sauce, etc) then throw in the TVP and simmer it on low until it's absorbed all the water.

I'm in the process of writing a cookbook right now that has tons of TVP recipes!

turkey veggie meatloaf cups recipe image

sweetdollf

Hello,
I'm vegan and I normally cook only vegan food but I'm getting married soon and my boyfriend eats poultry, fish and drinks milk and I want to make him a full homemade meal just for him but I don't know what to make because I don't cook with those things. I've never cooked for him before so I want it to be really special. He loves chicken, beans, and rice so I need a really good recipe with these. I also want to make him a really good dessert. Something you've made before and everyone loved. Thank you!

Answer
You can use ground chicken or turkey or even crumbled tofu with soy sauce-- and he may never know that there was no meat with tofu-- just use ample BBQ sauce to mix

Shepard's Pie:
-Brown 1 pound beef/ ground turkey
-Add 1-2 cloves of garlic, 1 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce, and 3/4 cup ketchup
-Cover and simmer 20 minutes
-Coat casserole dish w/ nonstick cooking spray

1st Layer - meat sauce
2nd Layer - Green beans and corn
3rd Layer - mashed potatoes
Top with cheddar cheese (as much as you want)

350 degrees (preheated oven) for 30 minutes - bake uncovered

Meatloaf
1 1/2 pounds ground meat
1 slice of bread
1 egg
1 package of Lipton's Onion Soup Mix
pepper to taste
4 TBSP ketchup
1/2 cup half and half

*SAUCE*
4 TBSP apple cider vinegar
2 TBSP packed brown sugar
1/2 cup ketchup

preheat oven to 350 degrees

Mix sauce together until smooth and set aside

Add all ingredients together. Put in a loaf pan. Pour suace over and cook for 1 hour 15 minutes. Do this whether you use the sauce or not

or

Try Zatarain's Dirty Rice or Jambalaya Mix. With the dirty rice mix you have to use ground beef. With the Jambalaya Mix you can use chicken or smoked sausage.( *It taste best with sausage).

My version of ghoulash:

Ground Beef with vegetarain beans(pork and beans without the pork) with chopped onions, picante sauce, and tomato sauce. Serve over white rice.

Pasta Salad with veggies: Tri-colored rotini pasta with chopped onions, tomatoes, cucumbers and green olives. Mix with Robusto Italian Dressing. Add a little seasoned salt and black pepper. Chill in the frig.

Chicken Pettazini:

Spaghetti with chopped, grilled, boneless chicken breast, Four Cheese white sauce or the Roasted Garlic and Parmesan cheese white sauce. You can also add green pepper if you like.

---
Dessert

Chocolate stuffed french toast

French bread
chocolate chips or chunks/morsels/etc
5 eggs
1 C milk
1 ts each cinnamon & vanilla

The night before you want to serve this:

Cut a loaf of French Bread into very thick slices. In each slice make a 3/4" cut to make a pocket. Spoon 2 heaping ts chocolate into the pocket. Close pocket with a pinch of the bread.
Place into greased 9x13" baking dish. Mix up the eggs, milk & cinnamon/vanilla. Cover & refrigerate overnight.

Preheat oven to 400F. Bake 20-25 minutes uncovered.

To help make food a bit more healthy you can use wheat and whole grain pasta's, rice, and bread. Use fresh or frozen veggies. Lean meats. Eat ground turkey instead of ground beef. Do not fry your foods. Bake, steam, grill or broil. Chose a healthy oil if you must use oil. Do not add sugar and salt to foods. Try herbs and spices instead. And above all else use portion control. Read labels to find out portion sizes and go by that. If you must have seconds, make it veggies. Try this site for healthy recipes: http://www.dlife.com, it is a diabetic site, but you can search recipes by what you are looking for. Example, say you want low calories, well then you can just search for low calorie recipes, or if you want low salt, you can search just low salt recipes. This is a great site, even if you don't have diabetes. I hope this helps you some. Good luck on eating healthy.

Vegans: Do you ever crave for foods that you have blocked from your diet?

� LAUR3N

You know, like the usual craving for something that you haven't had in a while, or when you see something really tasty at the store or in an ad and you look at it and it looks really good..?
Examples:
Ice cream, cake, candy, chips, any canned or boxed foods, meat...

*From someone who craves everything.
If so, how do you work your way through the craving?

Answer
Let's see,if I want ice cream,I eat soy or rice ice cream. Candy,I hate,but there's so many kinds of vegan candies. Goto-http://veganessentials.com/ or https://www.veganstore.com/index.html?action=myaccount if you want to order things or just go to your local health food store. READ LABELS EVEN IN A HEALTH FOOD STORE!! Chocolate I eat whenever I want,just the dark chocolate kinds,there's so many types and flavors of vegan chocolates to try. Chips,If I really want it I eat it. Chips are only not vegan if cooked in animal fats or coated in cheese or sour cream. Boxed foods are disgusting,I only like to eat healthy foods.For these,once again check out the websites I gave you or hit your health food stores. Meat,is even more disgusting. If I ever want something with a meaty texture then I just make some seitan.Also,I will sometimes eat tempeh,or tofu. If you really "need" something even more meat like try vegan sausages,burgers or "hot dogs". Cheese,I either use nutritional yeast or soy,nut or rice cheeses.
The only things I may crave are dishes from my childhood. If I feel sad or homesick and I want something homey,I may make something like vegan stuffed peppers or mashed potatoes with really great side dishes.Those are both things my mom would make,only the mashed potatoes dish was usually with chicken. I've learned to make everything my mom would make when I was growing up,but vegan style. Even meatloaf,or spaghetti and "meat" balls.
There's no reason to have an unfulfilled craving as a vegan. I think I have a recipe for everything including vegan marshmallows for S'mores.
Here's some great cookbooks that have a lot of those great "childhood" recipes but veganized. They are all by Sarah Kramer and only some call for vegan substitute foods-"How it all Vegan", In the Garden of Vegan" and "La Dolce Vegan". They're lots of fun. Give them a go. Have fun with your diet and be creative.

Does Anyone Know of Any Delicious Egg Dinner Dishes?

all recipes vegetarian meatloaf with vegetables image

Puddy

I want some delicious meal ideas and/or recipes for egg dishes (omelets, souffles, huevo rancheros, etc.).

Any info. 2 share, folks?

Answer
My very favorite egg dish is an Italian Frittata. It is a type of omlette and it is my way of using up leftovers. I can't give you exact measurements for all the ingredients, because as I said I add leftovers.

Frittata
Serves 2 with leftovers, maybe

1 small onion, chopped
1/2 green or red bell pepper, chopped if you have one.
2-3 clove minced garlic
1 tablespoon olive oil or a little more if needed
6 eggs, beaten
1/2 teaspoon each dried oregano and basil or 1 teaspoon of your favorite herbs.
Salt & Pepper to taste
1/4-1/2 cup grated cheese (you can choose any cheese from grated parmigiana to grated cheddar)

Leftovers you can add to the beaten eggs. Cooked potatoes, cooked vegetables - broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, broccoli raab, raw spinach chopped, cherry or regular tomatoes including those that are getting soft and wrinkled, leftover chopped canned tomatoes, deli meats, cooked sausage, meatloaf, cooked chicken, beef, pork etc., pasta and beans.

Preheat the oven to 350F degrees
Heat the oil in a 10-12 inch non-stick ovenproof skillet or frying pan. Saute the onions and peppers (if using) until soft, add the minced garlic and saute about 30 seconds.
Add approximately 1 - 1 1/2 cups of leftovers to the beaten eggs along with 1/2 the grated cheese, the herbs, salt and pepper. Add more oil to the skillet if necessary. Pour the egg mixture over the onions etc. in the pan. Allow to set for a bit then pull the eggs in from the sides, allowing the raw egg to fill in where the cooked egg was pulled in. Do this a few time, then garnish the Frittata with the rest of the grated cheese and put it in the oven for about 20-30 minute or until cooked through and slightly golden on top. Slide out onto a large round plate, cut in wedges and serve with a garlic or any good bread.

Frittatas are good eaten hot, room temperature or cold.
The best frittatas do contain cheese, and should have at least one leftover vegetable, some type of meat and leftover potatoes or pasta or beans. If your vegetarian, leave out the meat, you will still have great inexpensive meal.

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

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.

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.

I want to try different varieties of meatloaf, but something of the originality. I don't want anything that is too spicy (and I know some people like to put some hot spices into foods). Any kinds of recipe's for meatloaf is okay, but please make it easy and simple.

Answer
First of all, I'm a vegetarian. Okay, I eat fish, but so what! If I were to start eating meat again (which, after 15 years, is unlikely), there are two places I'd start: a Monte Cristo sandwich (frikkin divine--with mango chutney or honey!) and the meatloaf my mom used to make.

Actually, it was late in entering our family meal repertoire, and it was courtesy of the soup mix from Lipton.

I'm sure the Alton Brown recipe is fantastic. Haven't tried it, as Alton was probably still trying to be a cameraman when I last ate meat, but if you want to try the Lipton one (which looks dang easy), check the link below. I'm including a second link, which, according to a person who lost the Lipton recipe, is the first one he/she's liked since. Good luck.

Oh yeah, and stop eating that wicked meat. Unless you REALLY like it.

What Vegetarian Meat substitutes actually taste like meat?

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.

Vegetarians and or Vegans, what's your lunch?

vegan meatloaf recipe soy free
on eat, drink & be vegan: Soy-Free Veggie Meatloaf

vegan meatloaf recipe soy free image

Shape the

I'm stuck for ideas for lunches.
I go to school everyday, so it's gotta be an easy one. And unless I can make it and put it in a thermos, no hot foods either.

What do you usually pack?

Answer
Things such as hummus and peanut butter are tasty and convenient solutions for a lunch on the go. Look into buying vegetarian canned soups to pack into a thermo. Most grocers now carry lunch meat alternatives such as veggie hot dogs and tofurky slices- so you may want to consider trying some of those.

gelatin-free yogurt (dairy or nondairy)
fresh fruit or fruit cups
granola
hummus
peanut butter
veggie dip
carrot sticks
celery sticks
cereal
crackers
pretzels
salads
veggie soups
chips
soy milk

Another good idea is to see if your local grocers sell vegetarian-friendly MRE's to the public. MRE's are specially packed foods that can be heated without the use of a microwave or fire. There is a heating pad that is activated with water. Soldiers have and still do use them abroad when at war out in the rugged terrain. These foods include spaghetti, macaroni, veggie meatloaf, and more. http://mreinfo.com/

If you don't mind taking a little time to prepare some of your meals in advance, I have included a link to help you discover and try out vegetarian lunch recipes from a vegan mother's blog. http://veganlunchbox.blogspot.com/

Has anyone tried to take dairy out of their diet?

Lee S

Ive recently tried to cut dairy and beef products out of me and my familys diet. All of the recipes i tried to substitute with soy milk or water have turned out horrible. Can anyone give me any tips this is really stressing my out!!!
The recipes I have tried to substitute are
Aunt Jemima, Vegan Beef by Morninside(to make Fajitas), Jiffy Corn Bread Mix, Yellow Cake Mix, Vegan Meatloaf(using the Mccormick meatloaf Packet). Please give me any tips to help my food taste better or at least so my family will like my new cooking

Answer
I cut meat and dairy from my diet about a year ago.

I think your approach (ie. buying vegan versions of pre-packaged meals) is what is putting you off.

In my experience, anytime a company tries to 'veganize' one of their products, they taste disgusting. What you need to do is try making vegan meals from scratch.

I know that cooking meals from scratch sounds intimidating and time-consuming, but I promise it is easier than you think, and your cooking will taste INFINITELY better than anything you buy from a shop. For example, tonight for dinner I'm doing a vegan shepherd's pie... just substitute some canned lentils instead of beef, add lots of veggies, mashed potato, and ditch the cheese - it's actually quicker and easier than a traditional shepherd's pie, and it tastes great!

Here are a couple of recipe collections I like to use:
http://vegweb.com/index.php?action=recipecategories
http://www.recipesforvegans.co.uk/recipeindex.html

You can also try googling your own dairy/ beef-free recipes, or checking some cookbooks out from the library. Have fun!

Looking for some hearty, filling vegetarian recipes?

Vada Grace

I am looking for some good, hearty vegetarian recipies. I am mainly looking for lunch items. I try to stay away from soy, I have reactions to it. I am breastfeeding and I have trouble finding food that fills me up.
Thanks!

Answer
I can absolutely help you out here. Here are some of my favorite recipes:

Vegetarian Meatloaf: http://www.recipezaar.com/Really-Good-Vegetarian-Meatloaf-really-33921

Tamale Pie: http://www.recipezaar.com/vegetarian-tamale-pie-392881

Shepherds Pie: http://www.recipezaar.com/Vegetarian-Shepherds-Pie-269553

Weight Watchers Barley With Butternut Squash, Apples and Onions:
http://www.recipezaar.com/Weight-Watchers-Barley-With-Butternut-Squash-Apples-and-Onions-245872

I use Morningstar Farms crumbles in 2 of the recipes, but you can easily sub them out for another soy-free brand (like Quorn), use beans instead, or just omit them.

There are so many other recipes on Recipezaar, that is definitely my favorite recipe site. You can use the recipe filter to only include vegetarian meals. If you're a fan of meat substitutes, Quorn is my absolutely favorite and it's soy free. I use the tenders and naked cutlets in place of chicken in all of my favorite classic recipes.

Gluten free Gochujang sauce?

gluten free vegetarian meatloaf recipes image

Angelina M

anyone know a brand or a recipe?
I live in America. The gochujang in the stores all have gluten.

Answer
GoChuJang has been a Korean staple since hot peppers were introduced into
Korea from Japan in the middle of the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910). From that
point, GoChuJang quickly became an indispensable ingredient in Korean cooking
and can now be found in every Korean kitchen, as ketchup is found in the
United States. Recently introduced in the mainstream U.S. marketplace,
GoChuJang is a natural fit for preparing Asian dishes and also gives American
staples such as burgers, spaghetti, and meatloaf a kick.

Annie Chun's GoChuJang Sauce contains a special Korean miso and chili pepper
paste blend for the perfect combination of sweet and spicy. The sauce is 100
percent natural and crafted using only the finest ingredients with no
preservatives or MSG. With 45 calories and a half-gram of fat in each
flavorful serving, GoChuJang brings universal flare to American tables and is
ideal as a marinade, dip, or cooking sauce. GoChuJang Korean Sweet & Spicy
Sauce is available in stores nationwide in a 10 oz. bottle with a suggested
retail price of $3.99.

The new sauce is now available at Whole Foods and will be available at
traditional grocery and natural food specialty stores in the U.S. For more
information, visit www.MyGoChuJang.com or www.anniechun.com .

I don't like anything fancy, just a simple meatloaf. I really like Morning Star's Veggie Crumbles, so I'd prefer to use that. And I don't want to spend a long time cooking it. Thanks.

Answer
I grate carrots, turnips, potato's, and then fine chop my onions and celery in a food processor, saute it all in a bit of oil, cool the mix, then add some TVP or Soya crumbs, chickpea flour, seasonings, tomato paste or organic ketchup, now I use liquid egg white but that is an option, you can use veggie broth, then I spray a piece of foil with veg oil or PAM, and mold it round in the foil roll the ends and bake it for 35-40 minutes at 350 d F, then unroll it and glaze it with a ketchup or BBQ sauce for 15 minutes, let it go for 10 more minutes, the let it sit for 5 minute before I slice it, I serve it with mashed potato's, veg and sometimes make a mushroom gravy with a tin of mushrooms and thicken it with cornstarch or flour slurry, adding some spices and herbs to flavour it, a bit of soya sauce to darken it to look like meat gravy.

Phoenix Mi

I have been cooking alot lately, using recipes from a cookbook I got as a Christmas gift a few years ago. I want to make something that is a typical food dish (i.e. spaghetti, grilled cheese, soup, etc) but I want to add new spices in it that would change it up a bit and something I could serve to my family. I've already tried putting different spices in spaghetti that I made one night for dinner, but the spaghetti sauce was a little bit too strong, so I assume I added too many spices...
Anyways, if anyone has recipes for a simple dish to change it up a bit for my family and I that would be greatly appreciated. Desserts aren't really needed as much as main dishes, but I'd like to make some desserts sometime too. I apologize for the long description. Thanks in advance!
(By the way, I'm just a 15 year old kid so anything I make, my mom has to take me to the grocery store to buy it. Please nothing to bizarre or something that isn't normally in a home. I can go to the store if I really need to.)

Homemade version of Morningstar Farms Grillers Crumbles?

Alba

Where I live they don't sell any of these commercial meat substitutes, so I'd like to know if I can make these or something alike with TVP or Seitan or something like that? A lot of recipes call for them and I'm not sure substituting them just for rehydrated TVP would work :/ Thanks in advance!

Answer
I make a vegan meatloaf with TVP, soya flour, ground mushrooms and eggplant, I have used the leftovers for veggie sloppy joe's, chili, spaghetti sauce, even Mexican taco base, mix it and cook it like if you were ground meat, I always brown my TVP with oil and the fine chopped onions before I do any dish, it adds flavour and texture, I buy a product here in Canada called Soya Chunks, they come either round, oval or flat like slices of meat, I have used them broken up for the same dishes, I mix 2 cups of TVP with 1 cup of soya flour, 1 pound of ground button mushrooms and a small finely chopped eggplant, season it and I use veggie broth/veg oil to moisten, I press this in a greased cookie sheet and bake it for 30 minutes, then cool it, I have even used it for a veggie chicken parmesan with a breading and the tomato sauce and cheese garnish, I some times use soya cheese or regular mozzarella.

Vegetarian meals made by (and for) a teen?

vegan meatloaf recipe whole foods
on Meatless Monday Canadian Thanksgiving with Vegan Lentil Loaf, Mushroom ...

vegan meatloaf recipe whole foods image

26242.

My mom is not supportive of my vegetarianism, so most of the time I'll have to cook my own meals. I need recipes for some simple meals with EVERYDAY INGREDIENTS.

I can handle breakfast on my own, but I'm desperate for lunch and dinner recipes. Lunch would have to be something pre-made and packable.

I'm an ovo-lacto vegetarian, so there's no need to substitute dairy or eggs.

Thank you so much!!

Answer
Hi, great choice to become a vegetarian. I am also a teen and have been a vegan for almost four years now. I am still the only one in the whole entire family of 100+ 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.

Looking for vegan food options that aren't soy substitutes.?

evil_gummi

Alright, due to medical recommendations, I'm removing animal products from my diet. I'm not going the unhealthy meat substitute route where you eat a bunch of gross processed mock-meat foods. I've been eating mostly fruit and veggies (variety of deep leafy greens, etc), making sure to get in B12, taking a vitamin supplement and tofu for protein. What cookbooks and recipes would you recommend for a vegan? Also, any opinions on raw foods?

Answer
Congratulations on your healthy new diet! Don't worry. You will have endless options for wonderful meals without needing to rely on overly-processed foods and fake meats. Often if you wish to make something similar to a burger, hot dog, meatloaf, or meatball - it can be made out of beans, chickpeas, lentils, walnuts, etc.

Also, for B-12, you might want to check out nutritional yeast flakes that you sprinkle on top of your food. It tastes a little like cheese, and you will notice it in numerous recipes for vegans. Red Star is probably the most common brand. You can get it in the bulk food bins at Whole Foods or order it online.

best vegetarian meatloaf recipe ever image

JustMe1234

I'm having some people over for my birthday next Friday night and one is a vegetarian, and it falls during lent too of course so I have to probably have some stuff for some people who won't bend for a night. What is a good range of things to have? I was all set in making sliders on the grill....lol

Nobody ever finishes potato chips and they end up goin in the garbage. I already spoke to a few lent followers and they said they would slip for the night, but for some other ppl who won't I have to make sure there is food for them too.

I'm thinking of making some Deviled eggs....thats as far as I've gotten!

Seitan vs tofu "turkeys"?

Brook

So last year for Thanksgiving I made a stuffed tofu loaf ("tofurkey" if you will.) I really enjoyed it, but I've been eating a lot of soy lately, so I'm thinking tofu may not be the greatest thing to have for Thanksgiving dinner (and lunch the next few days.) My little sister, though, insists on having a fake turkey that night. So I was wondering if anyone has ever tried making a stuffed seitan loaf/turkey? I've never had seitan, but I've heard great things about it. Anyone have any reviews or tried and true recipes? I'm not really interested in premade products if there are any, but tips on making just plain seitan would be welcomed as well. Thanks in advance! :)
2b2gbi and marsh: I am not a fruitarian, nor does my religion prohibit me from causing harm to plants. If you believe that people should refrain from eating or using plant products, that is your business, but I would prefer that you do not preach to me as I have not and will not preach to you. Also, your responses in no way answer my question.
Oops, I guess those two deleted their answers. Please ignore the above added details. :)

Answer
Seitan roasts are quite easy to make and a delicious alternative to soy turkey roasts. This recipe I have made and is quite delicious http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npw2LKpag5o&feature=channel. The exact recipe with measurements can be found at everydaydish.tv. I halved the recipe since there are only a couple vegetarians in my family. You can make this seitan roast fancy by adding a glaze to it and by using the puff pastry (most puff pastry is vegan, just check the ingredients) crust.

Another suggestion I have is this vegetarian meatloaf. http://www.vegnews.com/web/articles/page.do?pageId=1489&catId=11 I've made this too and it's really tasty. I usually like to add extra sauteed onions, garlic and mushroom for more flavor. I like that this recipe contains less processed foods. However, it doesn't taste anything like turkey, but it is another option that goes great with traditional Thanksgiving side dishes.
