2 tablespoons water or broth, for steam-frying
1 onion, diced
1 large garlic clove, minced
1 large wholesome carrot, peeled and grated
2 celery ribs, diced
1 cup mushroom, cleaned and chopped
2 cups veggie burgers or veggie crumbles
1 cup uncooked quick oatmeal or oat bran
1/4-1/2 cup vegetable broth, as needed
1/2 cup cooked oatmeal
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried sage
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon ground cumin
3 dashes vegetarian worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
Directions

3Sauté any vegetables you've chosen in the water or broth for steam-frying until soft. Add to the large mixing bowl along with all the remaining ingredients.

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.

curiousG

I don't even know where to start. I mostly lived off junk food. I now realize how bad it is and want to change. The healthy food to make at home seems so overwhelming in cookbooks and too much time and complicated for a person that never cooked.

I like to take bay steps. Any suggestions? also for snacks too?

Answer
Fruit Salad. You could do a lott with fruit and animal cracker, cut up the fruit into cubes and crush some animal cracker on top and put some raisins or something on top.

Craisins or any other fried fruit.

Apple Slices dipped in caramel (Or just plain apple slices)

Pudding cups/Fruit cups

Rice Krispie Bars

Graham Cracker Sandwich with jelly filling

Celery with peanut butter on top, sprinkled with raisins. Call this ants on a log!

Veggie Pizza

Real Fruit Fat Free Popsicles

Trail Mix

Apple Sauce

Yogurt with chopped fruit in it

Chex Mix

Air-popped popcorn with little or no butter

Wheat Thins

Budget Yet Healthy Dinner Ideas:

Ground Beef. You can either cook it with elbow macaroni & spaghetti sauce or you can cook it with alfredo pasta and Hunts gravy (99 cents only). It's delicious. Also, goes well with texas toast.

Broiled Pork Chops. You'll want to have them with steamed carrots and mashed potatoes.

Ground Chicken. I like to cook Ground Chicken with my Yellow Rice (you can buy Goya yellow rice mix for 99 cents) and throw it in the rice and add some corn for a more mexican-style dish.

Meatloaf! You can make it with ground turkey or extra lean ground beef. You can serve with a small serving of mashed potatoes and some peas.

Lean cut of beef with a baked potato and steamed broccoli.

Vegetable Soup.

Burgers (made with extra lean beef) with vegetarian baked beans and Dole Cole Slaw (from the bag).

Grilled Chicken served with peas & white rice.

Pasta Salad (cooked macaroni, add green onions, green and red peppers, pickles, olives (or any vegetable you may like) chopped up of course and for the dressing add zesty italian dressing to taste)

You can also cut the grilled chicken in cubes and add it to a salad.

I was there recently and this dish was outstanding. Also they offered a vegan gravy to go with it. That recipe would be appreciated as well.

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

Terry 81

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

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

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

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

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

• Sauté the onion and green pepper in the oil over medium heat until soft. Combine in a bowl with the ground beef alternative, oatmeal, bread, ketchup, garlic salt, and pepper. Thoroughly mix with a spoon or your hands.
• Press the mixture into an oiled loaf pan. Cover with foil and bake at 375 degrees F for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix together the ingredients for the coating and set aside.

Have you ever been to a vegetarian potluck?

vegetarian meatloaf gravy recipe image

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.

Anyone have any simple meat recipes?

vegetarian meatloaf gravy recipe image

Iris

I'm a vegetarian college student who happens to be dating a meat-loving guy. My guy deserves to be cooked a lovely meal because he is super amazing! Sometimes he cooks for me and when I sometimes cook for him they're vegetarian dishes because I have never cooked meat. So, what are some easy, budget friendly beef, chicken, pork recipes? Thanks!

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

AmyAddicti

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

Answer
First, you must do some research.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Best of luck to you.
