The vegetarian and vegan thread #2 - Page 40

McClaire · 17-02-2013

I've just started cutting out meat in my diet. I watched Vegucated this past week and it is eye opening.
Here is a recipe for Vegan tacos that are amazing

thanks for this, it looks really good! I've been trying to go vegan again for a while (now vegetarian) but have had no inspiration, I'll try this tomorrow

nextnewface · 18-02-2013

OH. Thanks for posting, McClaire, I'm totally trying that tacos recipe this week

I'll make this Chocolate, Coconut, Macadamia Nut Tart one day for sure.

I just viewed Vegucated and found it mighty informative and entertaining. I really liked the fact that it not only tackled the health benefits of a plant based diet but really told a perspective of one's social life as a vegan (ie the individual's vacations, eating out, etc)...It may seem like a minor problem to be eating out with friends and not indulging in a meal because there are no veg options other than a plain salad, which let's be honest happens a lot in places outside major cities, but it can make one feel uncomfortable. I think the best line came from the mother on a cruise being surrounded by delectable looking donuts and pastries and stating "It's like being a nun in an orgy".

I think as a vegan I've faced my number of temptations especially those times when it's a hot day and no sorbet/veg options can be found at the only ice cream shop around

. But I make do; cooking and baking a lot at home, being prepared when heading out to a new part of a city/ researching veg spots ahead of time, keeping snacks in times of need

. It's not an easy process and I eat a hell of a lot better and tastier food now in my 2nd year than I did during my first few and native weeks as a new vegan

On a side note, I had the most AMAZING pumpkin soup yesterday and I aspire to make my own for lunch, it really hit the spot

I found a wonderful vegan parmesan cheese recipe from ohsheglows

Ingredients:

1/2 cup toasted sesame seeds
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Directions: Toast sesame seeds until lightly browned and then throw all ingredients into a blender. Process for 30-60 seconds. Enjoy your vegan parmesan cheese!

I'm trying it tonight with pasta

^ I recently discovered nutritional yeast and am slightly obsessed with it, haha. Thanks for the recipe

This stuff is liquid happiness.

^Yessss

My grocery store had a bogo sale on Silk almond and I guess people have caught on to that stuff here finally because the shelf was empty, I had to practically climb in the fridge to score the last 4 left.

I tried Cooking Basics for Dummies summer veggie burger recipe today. It was so easy and good!

paz2992 · 02-03-2013

^^the first time i tried that i thought i had died and went to milk heaven (i'm not kidding, i said that out loud!

) however the dark chocolate flavoured one wasn't that good, i thought it tasted pretty ordinary. I haven't tried the unflavour almond milk or the vanilla flavour soy milk, are they as good as that one?

Vega Magnus · 03-03-2013

^The vanilla almond milk is all I have tried thus far and quite frankly, it's so good, I feel no need to try anything else.

McClaire · 03-03-2013

Neely - I definitely want to try this out. I've never heard of nutritional yeast.

I don't know if any of you have heard of a blog called loveveggiesandyoga or Averie Cooks, but I've tried some recipes from there and it is so good.
I made this one for Monday morning:
http://www.loveveggiesandyoga.com/20...oat-cakes.html
and this one I ate pretty much all last summer: http://www.loveveggiesandyoga.com/20...kie-dough.html

I have Forks Over Knives in my queue in Netflix and cannot wait to watch it seeing how you all enjoyed it.

cloudyshambles · 03-03-2013

I'd looove to try silk almond milk, but we don't have that brand here

we only have very few almond milk brands and they're 2-3 times the price of soymilk

it's a shame bc I think almond milk is so delicious, but it's just too expensive to buy every week... need to make my own at some point!
