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 beefâflavor 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?

nyakizta08

anyone knows the kinds of vegetarian meat?? i only know is the gluten, and my family don't like it when i used it in my recipe. can you please give me some other kind?? tnx
tnx!!! when i bought gluten they said ähh veg. meat" that's why i think it's called a veg. meat. tnx to ur answer, but i want to know is there any other except from boca?? i want to know more kinds so i can choose.
tnx evrybody, the truth is i'm the only vegetarian, in my family i just want to show them that vegetable is delicious, that why i'm searching kinds of fake meat. tnx to all

Answer
The gluten you refer to is called seitan, it is basically wheat gluten.

You can use tofu or tempeh in it's place. It's not "meat", but it is a meat stand-in in a lot of recipes. I've even had really good vegan stroganoff with tempeh before!

Tempeh is fermented soybeans, it tastes sort of nutty and odd, it's an acquired taste, but it is wonderful if you use it with sauces, marinades, or fry it (when breaded and fried, it is almost chicken-like).

Tofu comes in many varieties. You can have very soft silken tofu, which is good for deserts, baking, smoothies and dips. There are firmer varieties of tofu that you can use in the place of eggs in many recipes (look up tofu eggless egg salad recipes, or tofu eggless scrambled eggs). It is wonderfully versatile and a staple in my home.

I would also suggest cooking more with beans. They are very flexible. You can make a vegan meatloaf-like dish with black beans, veggies, pine nuts and some ketchup and spices.

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

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! Donât 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.

Does anyone have a recipe for vegetarian stuffing?

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.

I'm a vegetarian. What are some simple recipes?

Yaz

I recently bought tofu and a few broths from whole foods. I didn't even know what I was doing when I was grocery shopping. Anyway, please let me in on some good recipes and/or vegetarian cookbooks.
Excluding the obvious of course. i.e. SALAD! Haha. I need some real meals. Also, I don't eat fish or shellfish because I am allergic. Keep in mind I am 16 (going on 17) so simplicity is key.

Answer
What about a tofu scramble. You can use it the same way that you would use eggs. I go on tofu binges often so I cook it so many different ways. There are so many different types too, silk or firm are my favorites.
For a tofu scramble it is simple I will give you 2 recipes. One I make is a soy scramble, use soy or tamari. I saute some minced garlic, onions, carrots until tender then add the tofu and scramble it like it was an egg, then top with soy, salt, pepper, and for me always some hot asian chili paste or sauce and green scallion If you have black bean add it with the veg. Another one is to use Balsamic, oregano or basil and the some peppers if you like. More italian or greek influence. So now you have the basic try your hand on a scramble. Another thing I make is chili, I use the tofu like ground turkey or beef. I cook the onions, garlic, spice then add tofu and beans and more spice. You can even make a burrito scramble and put it in some whole wheat tortillas for breakfast or lunch. Tofu curry is always good, tofu with ginger, scallions, peanut oil and soy cold is good. It is good in noodles. I always make tofu curry with eggplant, longbeans, garlic, and thai green curry with a little kabocha pumpkin. The skies the limit with what you can do, make a tofu and veggie meatloaf or a loaf with chickpeas and veggie or lentils and veg. Good luck!

How do you plan a vegetarian meal if you are a reformed carnivore?

Sharon M

I am transitioning my family to a more vegetarian diet and without meat as a centerpiece of dinner, I'm a little stumped. I can do the one pot stuff, and we love it, but how do you do everyday meal planning?

Answer
Vegetable Lasagna and salad (Cut leftovers into individual portion sizes and freeze for another meal). I like to use roasted vegetables like butternut squash, mushrooms, tomatoes and eggplant, layered with the lasagna noodles and a mixture of ricotta, mozzarella and parmagiano cheese. We are not vegetarians, but do try to eat meatless several days a week. For a less fattening version, use a sauce made with low fat cream cheese or other low fat cheese instead of the 3 cheeses.

Portobello Mushroom Burgers: Marinate the whole portobellos in minced garlic, chopped fresh parsley, olive oil, and salt & pepper for a couple of hours. Grill, pan fry or broil the mushroom until nice and soft. Serve on a bun with usual fixings or as that centerpiece of your dinner with Oven Baked French fries and a salad or vegetable.

Soups: I often make soup as our main meal serving a salad before or after the soup. To low sodium vegetables add canned or cooked beans or lentils and pasta. Allow to simmer about 20 minutes, then add any vegetables you like. One of my favorites is Barilla 3 cheese tortellini simmered in the low sodium vegetable broth until done, Remove the tortellini, add some cooked lentils and a can of drained chopped tomatoes and heat. Add back the torellini. Serve over raw julienned baby spinach.

You can find recipes for burgers and meatloaf made with lentils or other beans. Check the frozen food section of your market for more ideas or google recipes. .

Does anyone have a favourite veggie recipe with fake meat?

Stephanie

My husband will happily eat vegetarian, but only if he can't tell it's not real meat

I already make with fake ground beef:

Lasagna
Cottage Pie
Bolegnese

With fake sausage:

A tomato sauce to serve over pasta

Answer
Vegetarian chili is great with fake ground beef. You can also make fake meat meatloaf - here's one recipe but there are others online http://frank.harvard.edu/~howard/recipes/veggieloaf.html
And you can follow the same type of recipe for fake meatloaf and make meatless balls that you can serve with pasta

With the fake sausage you can do Italian style sausage, peppers and onions and serve that either on a bun or over polenta, pasta, rice or even mashed potatoes - just use veggie sausages instead of meat

Really good Vegetarian recipes?

FallenANGE

I've been a Veggiebite ever since May of 2008. And since then, I've always eaten the side veggies that my parents cooked. They're EXTREMELY huge meat eaters. Every day, their supper consists of either, Hamburgers, Meatloaf, Porkchops, Steak, etc etc. And They would always fix something on the side like Corn, or other times, French fries. Anddd.. I'd really like to try something different.

Soo... Is there any really delicious Vegetarian recipes that are filling, healthy, and doesn't cost a lot of money?

I still eat sea food, btw.

Thanks in advance! :D

Answer
Below are some links to some of my vegetarian recipes at ehow.com. I have other vegetarian and also some non vegetarian ones there too but they only allow you to give up to 10 links on here.

1 large garlic clove, minced
1/2 cup carrot, peeled and grated
1/2 cup celery, diced
1 package Yves Veggie Ground Round
1 1/4 cup dry whole wheat bread crumbs (lightly toasted or slightly stale)

2-3 tsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
Black pepper, to taste

Saute onion, garlic, carrots and celery in a large pan until tender, about 10 minutes on medium-high heat.
Combine vegetables, veggie meat, breadcrumbs, oatmeal and all spices in a large bowl and mix together. If it doesn't stick together easily, add a extra tbsp or two of dry breadcrumbs.
Turn mixture onto foil-covered pan and pat into a rectangular loaf about 2-in. high.
Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes until loaf is slightly firm to the touch.
Let cool for 15 minutes before slicing.

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 beefâflavor 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.

Easy Vegan Meatloaf Recipe?

fawnberrie

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.

Recipe for mock meatloaf?

La Vie Boh

I want to try to make a mock meatloaf out of soy crumbles. Does anyone have a recipe that you have actually tried? I already know there are countless recipes on line but I'm looking for an already tried recipe that's tasty : )

Thanks!
caroline,

Have you tried that recipe? I've seen it online and the reviews suggest it falls apart and does not form because there is no binding agent.
I ended up finding one with Gimme Lean and made it last night. My omnivore hubby said it tasted like meatloaf LOL

Answer
I tried this and LOVED it:

Best Ever Vegan Mini Meatloaf
INGREDIENTS
Makes 10 mini meatloaves. Cut in half if you aren't feeding 3 growing boys.
- 2 8.5 oz pkgs tempeh, simmered in boiling water for 10 mins, cooled, then coarsely grated
- 1 large onion, coarsely grated
- 4 cloves garlic, finely grated
- 1 cup instant oatmeal
- 2/3 cup vital wheat gluten
- 2 tsp ground fennel seed
- 1 tsp sage
- 1 tsp thyme
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1 tsp parsley
- 1 tsp marjoram
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp HP sauce
- 2 tbsp BBQ sauce
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp browning sauce (optional)
- 1/4 cup (or more) water
Glaze
- generous 2/3 cup ketchup
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp mustard
METHOD
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Oil a 9 x 13 baking pan.
1. Mix grated tempeh, onion, garlic, oatmeal, flour, and spices in a large bowl. The spices are really up to you. I like a well spiced and complex flavour.
2. Add in sauces and oil, and enough water so you are able to mash everything up with your fingers. Knead/mush/mash for a few mins to mix everything well.
3. Divide dough into 10 pieces and shape into small loaves. Actually, they end up looking like lumps/rocks, not really laoves. Place into oiled pan.
4. Mix together ingredients for the glaze and spoon evenly on top of each loaf. Make sure the whole loaf is covered.
5. Bake, uncovered, for 50-60 mins, until glaze darkens.

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

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! Donât 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.

Good recipes?

Coop <3

So recently my husband and I have been sort of frightened at some of the things that are unnecessarily put in our food (in the name of preservation, etc.), and have decided that they are no better than poison for our bodies. For this reason, we have made the decision to become vegan, simply because veganism cuts out the things that we find most disturbing--meats, dairy, eggs--and other things that are exposed to horrible environments and processing. I have been a vegetarian in the past (I stopped when we got married because I honestly wasn't doing it very healthfully, and my husband didn't understand back then why I was a vegetarian). Now we are older and wiser and ready to make the jump, but I'm afraid he's going to miss meat, so I'm trying to explore meat substitute products (which I have never explored before). My other concern was that being vegan may be too expensive for our budget.
Any recipe suggestions (esp. with meat subs.), or cost control ideas?
Also, if anyone has any good info pages on the different kinds of meat substitutes and their culinary uses, I would really appreciate it if you sent them my way :)

Thanks.
Sorry to be long (and ignorant), but also, if you knew of any common mistakes that new vegans make, please inform me! Like, what's the deal with gluten?

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!

lunch ideas for college?

Char Webb

at college i get so bored, i bring the sam old lunches: sandwiches, crisps, a drink, and a chocolate bar. Anyone got any ideas of stuff i could bring to eat at college?

Answer
I would carefully consider your containers and get some insulated pieces. They will help you expand your food choices to keep hot and cold foods safe and yummy. Get double the amount you would carry so that you can have one set in use, and keep one set at home getting cleaned and chilled. Make sure everything is easy to clean and get a baby bottle brush and some white vinegar to help you keep everything fresh. To keep things clean run a sink of hot soapy water, add 2 cups of white vinegar and let your items soak. Then scrub them clean, rinse, and let them air dry.

You can start with 4-6 reusable drink bottles. 2-3 drinks packed per day will keep you away from the vending machines and coffee shops, saving money and allow you to choose healthier options. Add to that 2 insulated soup thermos, and some reusable disposable plastic containers with lids, some zipper bags, and 2 flexible, reusable ice packs...and 2 insulated lunch totes that fit half your gear in each. You can also get a stash of handi-wipes. These are a washable/reusable very sturdy paper towels, meant for household cleaning, but they work great for this, pack damp in a zipper bag to wipe your face. They can be discarded after a few uses. And tuck in a small bottle of hand sanitizer, and some washable plastic silverware.

With better containers you can make use of leftovers, take hot soup or pasta, etc, even a slice of meatloaf or a hunk of roast and mashed potatoes.

As for typical lunch food choices, you can pack fresh veggies...if you like to dip, slice your peppers, scallions, celery, carrots, in sticks and stick them straight up in a container (cut your food to fit that container) that has dip or hummus in the bottom...pull each piece out to find it pre dipped.

If you prefer a salad you eat with a fork, pack some chunked up salad veggies, some chilled pasta, some bottled salad dressing (or herbs and olive oil). Then when you sit down to eat, add a packet of tuna, chicken, a string cheese, or pepperoni, and toss it all together...packing your salad in an oversized container will allow you to add and stir easily.

You could swap out the pasta in the above recipe for chilled barley, rice, lentils, potatoes...or swap out the dressing for chilled marinara sauce.

Instead of chips/crisps you can try pita chips, crackers. They also make veggie poofs that are similar to cheetos. I wonder if you are from UK do you have these or know what I mean. You can also pack plain tortilla chips (instead of the spray painted flavored kind) and carry your own fresh bean dip or salsa. These are healthier and you get better flavor and variety.

For different sandwich options, switch our your bread for bagel, pita, tortilla, flatbread, or skip the bread altogether and pack all your sandwich fillings as a salad.

For drink options, you can buy juice box type containers of lots of things: milk, yoo-hoo chocolate drink, or buy drinkable yogurt or smoothies. You can also use your reusable containers to prepare yourself an iced tea or coffee, a lemonade, or powdered drink.

For dessert...fresh fruits! Grapes, apples, oranges, bananas, pear, peach can all be packed whole...or you can cut and bowl up some berries, melon, kiwi, papaya, mango, pineapple, mandarin oranges.

Other dessert...you can use purchased snack cakes, homemade cookies, make cheesecake cups, make caramel popcorn, make marshmallow treats with cereal, make a chocolate ganache and stuff to dip in it.

You can also freeze certain things. You can freeze pudding cups, yogurt cups, jello cups, and applesauce cups. Pack them frozen, they are cold and refreshing when you sit down to eat. They will help keep everything else cold. You can freeze drink bottles if they aren't all the way full.

Former meatloaf consumers, need your help?

http://www.food.com/recipe/really-good-vegetarian-meatloaf-really-33921

I made a vegetarian meatloaf, but before I became vegetarian, I never really had meatloaf. Much less I don't know what it supposed to taste like. I followed the recipe and the top was done but the inside was somewhat mushy. It's good though, but I'm not sure if this is what supposed to happen? Do I need to put it in the oven longer? I'm not sure. Thanks!

Answer
Yeah, meatloaf is quite mushy by nature. That's part of what makes it so delicious, actually.

Whether I use meat (for husband) or lentils (for both of us), I try to let the loaf 'stand' for about 5 minutes or so once I take it out of the oven. This helps the juices redistribute and that helps firm it up.

Here's my recipe:

1 19oz can red lentils, drained and rinsed, then shaken dry in the colander (eliminating a lot of extra moisture)
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup finely diced onion
1/2 cup finely diced pepper (green pepper looks pretty, but use what's on hand)
1 egg, lightly beaten (or egg replacer if going for something vegan)
8 oz canned tomatoes with juice
1/2 cup quick oats.

Combine it all and press into a loaf pan.

Glaze:

1/3 cup ketchup, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon mustard (use your favourite... grainy dijon is awesome, but use yellow or regular dijon if that's what you have).

Bake at 375 for an hour, and let stand for 5-10 mins afterwards.

This loaf will firm as it cools to the point where you can make 'meat'loaf sandwiches out of it for lunch the next day (awesome on soft bread with mayo....)!

Does anyone know a really good vegetarian meatloaf recipe?

sfc<3

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!

Answer
apple sauce
some butter
Ousting eggs from baked goods
Eggs are used in baked goods for leavening, or lightness. They also may serve as a binder. The purpose the egg serves in the original recipe â as well as the amount of egg the recipe calls for â determines whether you need a substitute and, if so, which alternate ingredient will best serve the function of the egg in the recipe.

Flat foods such as pancakes and cookies don't rely on eggs for lift. In fact, in many cases, you can eliminate the egg without noticeably affecting the final product. That's especially true if the recipe calls for only one egg. If you do omit the egg, however, it's a good idea to add a tablespoon or two of additional liquid â soymilk, fruit juice, or water, for example â for each egg omitted to restore the recipe to its original moisture content.

When a recipe calls for three or more eggs â as many cakes do â the eggs perform a vital function and need to be replaced with an ingredient that can deliver a similar effect.


In recipes for baked goods that have a light, airy texture, replace eggs with an ingredient that provides lift. Any of the following ingredients can replace one whole egg in a recipe:

Half a small, ripe, mashed banana. This substitution gives the food a mild banana flavor, which can be nice in recipes for muffins, cookies, pancakes, and quick breads.
1/4 cup of any kind of tofu blended with the liquid ingredients in the recipe. Light or reduced-fat tofu cuts down on the fat and calories in the finished product.
1-1/2 teaspoons of a commercial vegetarian egg substitute, such as Ener-G Egg Replacer, mixed with 2 tablespoons of water. This product is a combination of vegetable starches and works wonderfully in virtually any recipe that calls for eggs. Natural foods stores sell it in 1-pound boxes.
1/4 cup of applesauce, canned pumpkin or squash, or pureed prunes. If you use these foods, know that, depending on the recipe, they may add a hint of flavor. If you want to give the food a lighter texture, add an extra 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, because using fruit purees to replace eggs can make the finished product somewhat denser than the original recipe.
A heaping tablespoon of soy flour or bean flour mixed with a tablespoon of water. This mixture works similarly to vegetarian egg replacer.
2 tablespoons of cornstarch beaten with 2 tablespoons of water. This, too, works much like vegetarian egg replacer.
1 tablespoon of finely ground flaxseeds whipped with 1/4 cup of water. The flaxseeds gel and bind with the other ingredients.
Replacing eggs in casseroles, loaves, burger patties, and main dishes
Some recipes need an ingredient that binds all the other ingredients together. Eggs are famous for acting as the glue that holds meatballs, meatloaf, and casseroles together. Lacto vegetarian and vegan versions of these traditional foods need something to serve the same purpose. Fortunately, you have many options.

As you might suspect, your choice of ingredients to replace eggs in these types of foods depends on the degree of "stick" you need, as well as how the ingredient will blend with the other flavors in the recipe. Cooked oatmeal may work fine as a binder in a veggie burger patty, for example, but may not be a welcome addition to a vegetable casserole if you don't care for the flavor or texture that it brings to the dish.

If you're altering a traditional recipe, you have to experiment a bit to determine just the right amount of an ingredient to serve the purpose. A good starting point with most recipes in which egg acts as a binder is to use 2 to 3 tablespoons of any of the following ingredients (or a combination of them) to replace one whole egg. If the original recipe calls for two eggs, start with 4 to 6 tablespoons of egg substitute.


Tomato paste
Arrowroot starch
Potato starch
Cornstarch
Whole-wheat, unbleached, oat, or bean flour
Finely crushed breadcrumbs, cracker meal, or matzo meal
Quick-cooking rolled oats or cooked oatmeal
Mashed potatoes, mashed sweet potatoes, or instant potato flakes
You can also try 1/4 cup of any kind of tofu blended with 1 tablespoon of flour or 1-1/2 teaspoons vegetarian egg replacer mixed with 2 tablespoons of water.

Replacing eggs in sandwich fillings, salads, and scrambled eggs
Finding substitutes for eggs that are hidden in recipes is one thing; finding suitable substitutes for eggs that are more visible in foods is quite another. Fortunately, tofu looks remarkably like cooked egg whites and functions in much the same way in several popular recipes.

You can use chopped firm or extra-firm tofu in place of egg whites in egg salad. Use your favorite egg salad recipe, but substitute tofu for the hard-boiled eggs. You can even replace regular mayonnaise with soy mayonnaise for a vegan version.
Cubes of chopped firm tofu are a nice addition to a mixed green salad or spinach salad, standing in for the customary chopped hard-boiled eggs. You can also add chopped or minced tofu to a bowl of Chinese hot and sour soup.
Try scrambled tofu instead of scrambled eggs at breakfast. Natural foods stores stock "tofu scrambler" seasoning packets, which you may also find in the produce section of your regular supermarket, near the tofu. Many vegetarian cookbooks give recipes for scrambled tofu. The recipes usually include turmeric to give the tofu a yellow color similar to that of scrambled eggs. You can also use scrambled tofu to fill pita pockets or as a sandwich filling on hoagie rolls.

Some typical american dishes?

Snow

Hi everybody,
I'm italian but I have many american friends who study in my city so I would like to organize an american dinner for them (they've been here for a while and sometimes they complain about how much they miss their food :)), and for my italian friends as well.
When I came to the US my boyfriend made me try a lot of american food (he's american), and I really likes grilled cheese sandwich, sweet potatoes with cinnamon butter, green beans with nuts, macaroni and cheese, corn, coleslaw, garlic bread, onion rings (no meat and no fish, I'm vegetarian), cupcakes, cheescake, muffins and donuts.
What do you guys think I should make? Do you have some more recipes? :)
I don't mind having meat, I just don't know how to cook it cause I've became a vegetarian before I learned how to cook, but maybe my roommates would help me with that :)
(By "having meat" I mean having it at the dinner, for my friends, not myself of course)
