Answer
Go to www.vegcooking.com.

Search for a recipe called "Mama's Mock Meatloaf". It's superb!

When I was an omnivore I *hated* meatloaf. I tried this and I love it (go figure!). It's the perfect comfort food dish. I prepare it with a baked sweet potato and fresh steamed broccoli. Excellent combo! (and pretty colors on the plate)

anybody know of a good vegetarian meatloaf recipe?

Q.

Answer
Morningstarfarms.com , click on recipes. They have a "meatless loaf" that uses their veggie crumblers. It's very good, if you're trying to mimic real meatloaf.

Easy and cheap recipes???

ithek_thun

I am needing to go to the store and I'm on a budget. I want to make some good food too. Does anyone have any suggestions for recipes that I could make? Thanks

Answer
Meatloaf is inexpensive and easy to make- served with mashed potatoes and whole green beans or steamed baby carrots and have the leftovers as meatloaf sandwiches or heated up with gravy.

You can add or delete any ingredients that you want as long as the basics remain the same - the meat, eggs, bread crumbs and onion soup mix:

Meatloaf
3 pounds ground beef
3 large eggs
1/2 to 3/4 cup Italian style bread crumbs
1 packet Lipton's Onion or Beefy Onion Soup Mix
1 can sliced mushrooms - drained
1/2 cup sliced black olives
2 tablespoons BBQ sauce
1 tablespoon A-1 sauce
1/2 cup salsa
1/2 cup shredded cheese - I use a combination of Cheddar, Italian Blend and Pepper-Jack cheeses or whatever I have on hand

Mix all ingredients, form into a loaf in a loaf pan, bake at 350 degrees F for 1 1/2 hours.
**********************************************************************
Baked Chicken #1 or Pork Chops

Marinate your chicken in Italian dressing for about 1 hour then roll in Italian style bread crumbs that have Parmesan and Romano cheeses mixed in - bake at 375 degrees F for 45 minutes to 1 hour depending upon how thick/big they are. Serve with roasted potatoes, a veggie or salad.

Baked Chicken #2 or Pork Chops

1 box of stuffing mix like Stove Top
4-6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 can condensed Cream of Mushroom or Cream of Chicken soup - I like Campbell's but any brand will work
1/2 soup can of milk
1/4 cup bread crumbs - I like Italian style
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a small bowl, mix the can of soup and milk; set aside. Make stuffing mix according to package directions and spread into a greased 13x9 in baking pan. Place chicken pieces over the stuffing. Cover with the soup mixture. Sprinkle the shredded cheese and bread crumbs over the top of the chicken and bake for 45 minutes to one hour depending upon how thick you chicken pieces are. Serve with a green salad.

Prepared macaroni and cheese can be substituted for the stuffing.
**************************************...

Stove Top BBQ'd Pork Chops or Chicken Breasts

Melt a little butter in a big heavy frying pan, add some slice onion and cook until tender. Put you pork chops in the frying pan and brown on both sides. Cover with your favorite BBQ sauce, cover the pan and simmer until the chops are tender. Serve with rice, potato salad or mashed potatoes and a veggie.
**************************************...

Classic Potato Salad

Ingredients
2 pounds potatoes (6 medium) - Use red or Yukon Gold potatoes
1/4 teaspoon salt
1-1/4 cups Miracle Whip or mayonnaise - I prefer Miracle Whip, it gives the potato salad a bit more of a zing
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup thinly sliced celery (2 stalks)
1/3 cup chopped onion (1 small)
6 Hard-Cooked Eggs, coarsely chopped

Directions
In a medium saucepan place potatoes, the 1/4 teaspoon salt, and enough water to cover. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, for 20 to 25 minutes or until just tender. Drain well; cool slightly. Cube the potatoes.

Meanwhile, for dressing, in a large bowl combine Miracle Whip, mustard, the 1/2 teaspoon salt, and the pepper.

Stir in the celery and onion. Add the potatoes and eggs. Toss lightly to coat. Cover and chill for 6 to 24 hours.
**************************************...

Macaroni and Cheese - add a pound diced ham, a pound of browned hamburger or a package of sliced hot dogs and a package of frozen mixed veggies, peas or corn to the mac and cheese before pouring it into the baking dish to make a hearty meal.

Ingredients
8 ounces dried elbow macaroni (2 cups)
1/2 cup chopped onion (1 medium)
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon dry mustard - I like Coleman's English
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
2-1/2 cups milk
1-1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (6 ounces)
1-1/2 cups shredded American cheese (6 ounces) - I like to use Veleeta

Directions
Cook macaroni according to package directions. Drain; set aside.

Meanwhile, for cheese sauce, in a medium saucepan cook onion in hot butter until tender but not brown. Stir in flour, dry mustard and pepper. Add milk all at once. Cook and stir over medium heat until slightly thickened and bubbly. Add cheeses, stirring until melted. Stir in cooked macaroni. Transfer mixture to a 2-quart casserole.

Bake, uncovered, in a 350 degree F oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until bubbly and heated through. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Makes 4 servings.

Saucepan Macaroni and Cheese: Prepare as above, except reduce milk to 2 cups. After draining macaroni, immediately return macaroni to the saucepan. Pour cheese sauce over macaroni; stir to coat macaroni with sauce. Cook over low heat for 2 to 3 minutes or until heated through, stirring frequently. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
**************************************...

Beer Brats

Boil your Brats in the beer that you have add some sliced onions and garlic to and use a good dark beer like Guinness. I actually like to use both Guinness and either Bass Ale or Harps Ale because I like the taste of Black and Tans. Remove the Brats and onions from the beer, keeping the onions. After removing your Brats from the beer, continue to boil the beer until you reduce it by at least half and then brush it on the sausages while grilling. Take the leftover onions and saute them in a pan or on the grill with a bit of butter and serve over the grilled Brats with spicy mustard and maybe some sauerkraut.

Request simple meatloaf recipe.?

Jeffrey Wi

My mother used to make meatloaf all the time and the store has freshly ground ready mix that you can buy cheaply. wtf do I do?

Answer
1 lb of ground beef
1 pkg of dry onion soup mix
1 egg
1 or 2 slices of bread torn into small pieces (you can use bread crumbs or oatmeal if you prefer, but don't add too much or your loaf will be dry)
ketchup-as much as needed to get the right consistancy. (again, you can use bbq, A1, heinz 57...whatever you like)
Mix it with your hands and form into a loaf shape in a roasting pan, or put into a loaf/bread pan. Top with more ketchup and cook for about 1hr at 350 or until internal temp is 160.

Later you can try adding minced fresh veggies and other spices or different glazes on the top. The possibilities are endless!

How do I convert my child into a vegetarian?

valerie

I am a mother of one, and for about 2 years now, my husband and I have been eating a vegetarian lifestyle. My son is 7 years old and before we stopped eating meat, I would make meals like Pasta with sausage, meatloaf, baozi (Chinese dumpling with meat). Since we stopped eating meat, I have still been incorporating meat into my son's meals because I thought it was necessary for him to have the protein.

Recently I learned that meat protein is NOT required in our diets, in fact it's harder for our bodies to digest hard proteins that are found in meats and animal products.

Now, I tried to stop giving meat to my son altogether, but he's having a hard time adjusting to not eating meat. Have any of you experienced this with your child and have any words of advice to give me that would help? Child friendly vegetarian recipes? Please Help! Thanks.
I am a vegetarian, and if you dont like it move along. This question is for the likeminded. :) Note category or gtfo.
Human beings are not carnivores, they are classified as omnivores, therefor, meat is not a required part of the human diet. Beef collects and backs up your digestive system, No thanks! And if yo saw where your food came from, I highly doubt you'd still want to eat it. Most of the pigs, cows, chickens that you people are stuffing into your mouths are living their entire lives basting in their own fecal matter. Yummmmmy.
And do your research... The Human being DOES NOT thrive on meat. We are living creatures and thrive off of other living things. I mean, if you're a vulture or a hyena, then I could understand why you'd wanna eat something dead.
EDIT: @Jimanddottaylor: Parents who feed their kids processed meat, sugars, and fast food should be arrested for child abuse if you ask me.

Answer
My mom raised me vegetarian for the first five years of my life. She gave me meat substitutes, and I couldn't even tell that it wasn't real meat. They have meat substitutes for everything. I suggest a brand called "Gardein." They have vegan chicken nuggets, wings, ribs, burgers, turkey, etc. The food is delicious, and it taste just like meat. Plus It doesn't have all of the cholesterol, fat, hormones, etc, that are in meat. For good deli meat substitutes, use the brand Tofurkey. They have tons of vegan deli meats, sausage, cheese steak, etc. My favorite vegan hot dog is from a brand called Soy Boy. The product itself is called "Not Dogs." I grew up on them. They taste much better than hot dogs IMO, and don't have all the crap in them that normal hot dogs have. You can substitute fake meats for any recipe. If a recipe calls for chicken broth, use vegetable broth instead.

While the fake meats are good for taste issues, they can be highly processed, so use them sparingly. Make sure he gets lots of fruits, veggies, sea veggies, seeds, nuts, beans, grains, lentils, herbs, sprouts, etc. Limit processed oils and sugars.

Vegetarian diet, what do i eat?

rainbow ca

I have recently turned vegetarian. I'm not sure what to eat and my parents are annoyed with me because i don't get enough protein.

What are simple meals that are healthy and that i can do everyday and still get full nutrition?

Answer
Food, silly.

Fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains, and beans--that covers quite a bit of ground, wouldn't you say?

As for protein, even vegans get more protein than they really need. You don't want too much protein because it strips calcium from your bones (animal protein is especially acidic, causing calcium loss) and taxes your kidneys.

If you're parents think you aren't getting enough protein there are three possible reasons: 1) they've fallen for the protein myth like most people; 2) you don't get enough calories; or 3) you eat mostly junk food.

Some simple meals: A bean and rice burrito with salsa or grilled veggies.

Pasta witih marinara sauce. If you saute some kale/collards/greens and pour the marinara over it, it's really healthy.

A stir fry with cubed tofu or tempeh instead of meat. Many grocery stores also carry vegetarian meal-starter strips that are designed for stir-fries or fajitas. Lightlife makes "beef" and "chicken" varieties.

A veggie burger with oven-baked fries.

If you like meatloaf, you can make veggie versions. Google Vegetarian Loaf Studio, and there's a website where you can customize your own veggie loaf.

www.vegweb.com has tons of recipes.

Anyone have any great vegetarian/vegan recipes?

Just right

I am going vegetarian. I am not yet sure what kind of vegetarian. I attempted this before and I lasted two weeks. I am trying again. I am starting out by cutting out red meat, which I rarely eat anyway. Then I will continue by cutting out white meat, and whatever else I decide to live without. Any great recipes for me anyone? :)
Please and thank you

Answer
It's important not to just cut out meat. You have to be thinking about beans, nuts, seeds, soy, eggs/dairy (if not going vegan) and ways to make those.

Try substituting beans for meat in your favourite recipes, eg black beans, partly mashed into a packet of the taco seasoning and water you'd add to ground beef for taco night. Try grating a portobello mushroom into tomato sauce instead of ground beef. I like tofu in stirfries instead of chicken (takes practice to have tofu taste other than bland - experiment!). I like making meatloaf with a can of white beans instead of meat - mash them and use your favourite meatloaf recipe from there...

Many meals can naturally be made vegetarian... load a pizza crust with tomato sauce and tons of veggies before baking, make a frittata for dinner, pasta with tomato sauce and vegetarian parmesan cheese (look for one with bacterial culture, not rennet)...

Lunch and breakfast are easy... most of my friends don't know I'm veg when they see me eating pj or cheese sandwiches for lunch! Many breakfast cereals are higher in protein, eg. kashi/Vector.

Tastespotting.com is a round-up of many food blogs from around the world. They have a search term, eg veggie burger, and frequently feature vegetarian/vegan menu items for when you're looking for something new.

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.

How to make meatloaf?

yahoocraze

I am 20 just recently got married, so the whole cooking thing is still new to me. My husband is a picky eater! He said he likes meatloaf, but I'm not sure how to make it. He doesn't like mushrooms and onions and all that stuff so, pretty much, which is the easy way to make meatloaf?

Answer
There are a lot of meatloaf recipes out there but basically it is meat with a binder (egg &/or breadcrumbs &/or crackers &/or cheese), some seasonings and maybe some veggies (celery, carrots) - then you bake it in the oven.
One hit I will give you is that you should lower fat meat so you don't have it sitting in a pool of grease.


Meatloaf Recipe
1 lb. hamburger
1 egg
1 pkg. saltines (crushed) ½ tsp. salt & pepper
1 clove of garlic (minced) 1 rib of celery (chopped)
dash of Worcestershire sauce ½ cup ketchup
Mix all ingredients and shape into a loaf.
Bake at 350 for 1 hour.
Drain out fat and put back in for 10 minutes.
Remove from oven and let stand for 15 minutes
before slicing,then serve.
You can make a brown gravy to pour on it
or you can have ketchup instead.

Here is something a bit different:
Turkey Meatloaf Muffins with Mushroom Sauce
by Michael Bonacini
An entree for the discriminating palette
3 cups ground turkey breast
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 medium Spanish onion, finely diced
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1/4 tsp freshly chopped thyme
1 whole egg, lightly beaten
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
Splash of vegetable oil
Salt and pepper to taste

1. In a small frying pan over medium high heat, gently cook the diced onion and garlic in a splash of vegetable oil until soft and tender, about four or five minutes. Once cooked remove from heat and allow to cool.
2. In a large mixing bowl, place the ground turkey, egg, milk and breadcrumbs. Season well with salt and pepper.
3. Add the cooked and cooled onion and garlic, followed by the Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce and mix thoroughly. You may wish to fry a little of the mixture up in the pan to taste and check for seasoning.
4. Once satisfied that the seasoning is correct, divide the mixture into six or eight muffin piece sizes and place into a lightly oiled muffin pan. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 350F to 375F degrees for approximately 35 to 40 minutes.
5. Serves 6 to 8.

Mushroom Sauce
2 cups mushrooms of your choice, sliced and diced
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup Madera (a type of wine)
1 tbsp butter
Splash of olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

1. In a frying pan over medium-high heat, begin to sauté the mushrooms in a splash of olive oil, stirring and seasoning with salt and pepper.
2. Once the mushrooms begin to soften, add Madera and reduce by half.
3. Add the chicken broth and reduce by half.
4. Remove from heat, add the butter to enrich your sauce and serve.

Veggie

Help with a healthy vegetarian diet (life diet not lose weight diet)?

kadmarco

On new years I officially became a vegetarian. Everything was fine and I didn't face any cravings (I'm not much of a meat eater). But I saw that my diet has been reduced to a lot of carbs and cheese's.
I can't eat lettuce, raw tomatoes, or anything that could be found in a salad. I cant eat cauliflower, melons, or apples. It's a stomach condition...

That makes having a vegetarian lifestyle hard!!! I've been enjoying my food but I've been eating rice, pizza, spinach, a lot of home cooked Mexican food, and most of my meals contain a lot of cheese in them.
Help. I've been feeling a weaker lately and I think it's because of my poor diet. I'm going grocery shopping tonight. Any suggestions.

Answer
Hi , Even with your stomach condition it sounds like you can still eat lots of vegetarian food and eat healthier . You just need some ideas .

You can cut down the cheese when cooking Mexican food by adding Avocado (a very healthy fat) , how about cooked tomato " stewed " or diced and cooked ? ,

You can also make a Fajita out of sauteed veggies ..some choices to add are peppers, onions, and squash .

You can make veggie slopppy Joe's by simply substituting veggie meat .

How about veggie sausage and peppers on or with Italian bread ?

My mom makes awesome Vegan meatballs using TVP (texturized vegetable protein) instead of meat ..She also makes Vegan meatloaf this same way ..served with mashed potatoes .

Stuff peppers with a rice and veggie meat

Stuff Mushrooms with breadcrumbs and a bit veggie cheese.

There are lots of veggie meats today .. you can make sandwiches with veggie bacon , veggie chicken patties , veggie burgers, veggie hotdogs ,plus all the Veggie deli meats as pepperoni , ham , bologna ..etc all NON meat

Pasta dishes with cooked Veggies , Pesto , or Beans are great

Look in the frozen section for Amy's foods ( many are vegetarian) already prepared

I also adore curry foods ..look for Indian recipes

Add more fruit to your diet , Pineapple and strawberries are low calorie as well as oranges, tangerines , peaches, plums

The easiest way is to think of what you like eating and then just substitute .. begin to experiment more..it gets easier as time goes by ..

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!

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. Since you also say you still eat seafood check out my other recipes once you get there since some of them are for seafood as well. I hope this helps you in trying to find some nice vegetarian recipes:

Vegetarian meals made by (and for) a teen?

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! Donât forget to regularly see the doctor.

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!

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.

I am looking for a good veggie loaf recipe...?

Kylie

But let me clarify. I don't want something made out of a bunch of meat substitutes like Boca. I'm okay if there's a bit of that in there for binder or texture but the majority of them I'm finding just use that instead of meat.

I actually wan a veggie loaf with rice and maybe some spinach or onion or any other combination of actual veggies!

I'm not very creative at cooking so I need a tried and tested recipe. Any help is MUCH appreciated!

Answer
Veggie Loaf
RECIPE BY: Prose
This is from a book called The Great American Detox Diet by Alex Jamieson (of Supersize Me fame). All of her recipes are super healthy and this is the tastiest vegan loaf I've tried. Like other vegan loaves, this is more fragile than meatloaf. Be sure to let it cool about 15 minutes before slicing, and even then expect some crumbling.


Ingredients
1 cup cooked brown rice
1 cup cooked lentils
1 cup uncooked instant oats
1 cup finely chopped mushroom
1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
1 medium carrot, grated
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
1/2 cup finely chopped walnut
1/4 cup tomato paste
1/4 cup olives, any variety, pitted and chopped fine
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons Braggs liquid aminos or soy sauce
2 tablespoons mustard
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried marjoram
1 teaspoon dried sage
Directions
1Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2In a large mixing bowl, combine the rice (or other leftover whole grain), lentils, oats, mushrooms, onion, carrot, pepper, walnuts, tomato paste, olives, parsley, soy sauce, mustard, thyme, marjoram, and sage. Mix well.
3Lightly oil an 8" x 4" loaf pan.
4Fill the loaf pan with the mixture and pack well to press out any air pockets.
5Bake for 40 minutes, covered. Uncover and bake for another 20 minutes, until lightly browned. (Be sure to check it after 10 minutes uncovered as I found it was already done). Allow to stand at room temperature for 15 minutes before slicing. Use a serrated knife to carefully slice.

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.

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?

How do you jazz up your meatloaf?

Sea Kittre

I'm so looking forward to fall and filling my house with cooking smells again. Meatloaf is the classic fall dish to me. I'm curious, it seems like everybody's meatloaf recipe is unique and personal to them, what is your take on it?

I like to use fresh (not dried) bread crumbs and ritz crackers. I don't like to over egg it, or add milk. I always put in a good bit of Old Bay seasoning (it gives it a warm and spicy aroma).

For the topping I like to cut a fresh tomato into thick slices, arrange them over the top and bake them for 45 minutes until the tomatoes caramelize beautifully, then I spread a thin layer of ketchup over the top for the last 15 minutes. It makes a thick satisfying topping that stays put and tastes like tomato candy.

If I'm feeling super fancy I'll roll out the meat mixture and wrap a bar of cheddar, swiss, or muenster cheese in the middle with some roasted red peppers and spinach leaves... OM NOM NOM.
LoL I'm doing pretty good Abe. Isn't weird how much Meatloaf is starting to look like Ernest Borgnine?
(((JA)))

Awwwwww well I was a vegan for the last year and a half (I wasn't an ethical vegan, I was specifically targeting animal proteins for health reasons, so, for instance I couldn't eat eggs but I could jello...) until I was recently diagnosed with anemia. My doctor suggested I reintroduce meat to my diet to recover faster, and I have to say it's the perfect season for it, I'm really enjoying all of the possibilities.

Here's my basic recipe for vegan meatloaf if you'd like to try it. You can add your own spices and veggies:

I use a cup or two of textured vegetable protein, rehydrated in the microwave.

I pick apart a few slices of fresh bread and add a tablespoon or two of coconut oil (it's important for texture that you use an oil that solidifies as it cools, you can use crisco too, but it's so flavorless)

I mix those two ingredients with a handful of roughly chopped green olives (they have the exact texture of gristle) and a little olive juice

Answer
Well, darling, since the offspring's now a vegetarian and I no longer eat beef, I haven't made meatloaf in a very long time, but I used to soak dried breadcrumbs in milk and add some sauteed diced vegetables like onions, carrots, green peppers or broccoli stems, and mushrooms to the meat. I'd usually put a pretty substantial amount of sliced onion on top of the meatloaf - the offspring is very fond of onions - and I'd use generous measures of sage and thyme as my seasoning with salt and pepper, since they have a lovely autumnal fragrance. In my family, we use a minimally-seasoned tomato sauce (hot) rather than ketchup or a brown gravy, although I have used ketchup on top of the meatloaf as you describe.

My meatloaf - though good and a favorite of the offspring's - was never more than a patch on my mother's meatloaf. I pretty much follow the recipe she taught me, and I don't know what she does to it, but hers is just a whole different level of deliciousness than mine has ever achieved. On those rare occasions when he reminisces about his carnivorous days, the offspring gets nostalgic for her meatloaf, not mine.

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.
