mitch. Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Wife made this last night: http://www.thevegancrew.com/?p=8156 Creamy Tuscan White Bean Soup. It was pretty great. It is almost a little too creamy, we had to add some extra stock. I'd cut the cashews down a bit next time. I also did my cashews with stock instead of water and as with nearly all vegan blog recipes, you need more salt. Thanks for posting this recipe, I made it for dinner tonight and really enjoyed it!

Team Avatar Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Personally, the soy arguments are complete and udder (lol) bull shit ( cow puns ). Like everything else, eat it in moderation. I've cut it from my diet completely and saw no change, and I ate lots and lots of it and saw no change. It's just meat industry propaganda - followed by people who think it's crazy to give up eating meat, since it's the whole circle of life, survival of the fittest bullshit. smash2pieces 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManhattanValley Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I just tried this vegan recipe last night. It was awesome!!! It's a cheesy alfredo pasta if anyone is interested: http://luminousvegans.com/2013/10/10/cheesy-vegan-alfredo-peas-kale/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I burned myself out on pasta last year, but once I get the hankering for it again I'll probably make this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Avatar Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I want to try that alfredo recipe. Every time I blend cashes they just spit up on the side of the blender, but maybe with that much milk they won't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Avatar Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Also, they started selling these at Whole Foods http://www.amazon.com/Imagine-Foods-Almond-Dream-Multi-pack/dp/B00JHGVPN4/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1397568047&sr=8-3&keywords=almond+dream+latte They make me really happy. They are the same price online as in the store ( 2 bucks each ) and taste pretty fucking good. I compared caffeine content, calories, and sugar to the non-vegan alternatives and these seem healthier with more caffeine. I compared to the starbucks frapps though.

BuzzersonKillwell Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 We make cashew cream all the time, do you have a Vitamix? Speaking of which, has anyone ever add probiotics or cultures to their cashew cream? I've made the alfredo recipe before, it was good but I feel like I would have done something a little differently. What it was escapes me now, doesn't help you guys much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(jewel). it's incredible. tastes just like those starbucks frappuccinos. tried the vanilla but just picked up mocha. http://almondbreeze.com/?navid=552&pid=555 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzersonKillwell Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Yeah, it is tough to do cashews in that, and it comes out all grainy anyway. You need to save for that Vitamix, it is amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Avatar Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I didn't find those iced coffee things to have lots of caffeine or taste that good. I didn't try blue diamond, which might have been my mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's definitely on my list. I wanted to buy one at the time I tried raw but I couldn't justify it for a failed diet haha. One day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out of Breath Records Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Tonight I made a great veggie sandwich/burger. Costco sells these Malibu garden burgers that are so delicious, basically like patties made of hashbrowns/corn/peppers/ just good stuff, and I put it on a croissant with homegrown avocado and tomatoes, balsamic mayonnaise, ketchup, and soysauce.

radiatorhums Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I made this a few nights ago http://ohsheglows.com/2011/12/13/naughty-nice-vegan-enchilada-casserole/ It might be one of the best things I've ever made, it was REALLY damn good. I might cut the recipe in half next time, because I'll be eating it for the next week. Would be super easy to make gluten free with a GF pasta and I'm guessing nutritional yeast could be subbed for Daiya (which I'm going to try next time).

Team Avatar Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 That looks awesome. Also, Daiya is GF and SF ( soy free ), which is good. Nutritional Yeast alone doesn't seem to cut it for me. Tonight I've decided I wanna make stuffed peppers with a cheesy bean and rice, topped with sour cream! Usually I use big bell peppers, but I think I wanna experiment with poblanos.

I like nutritional yeast, but it doesn't always work as a good cheese substitute. I've used it in things I've baked before and been really happy with it, but if it's something where you need a melty 'cheese' it doesn't work at all.

Out of Breath Records Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Oh man, I went to a folk punk fest in LA and they served the best god damn vegan pizza I've ever had. It was better than normal pizza. Pretty sure they used Daiya too. anthemforadoomed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Avatar Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I stirfried refried beans, tomatoes, onions, hot green chiles and seasonings, added rice at the last minute, and stuffed into these peppers. Some have daiya cheese in them, and the middle one was all cheese. Dollop of tofutti sour cream on top. They rule. I need to cook the peppers longer/hotter though, 25 min at 375 isn't enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look good though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TinaRod Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 So I read through this thread and saw a lot of recipes I want to try. I made the switch to vegetarian at the beginning of the year. I had done it before for about two years then just stopped. This time my mom agreed to go meatless more often which is helpful since we eat together. My favorite things are smoothies and hummus. I make my own hummus and add in different ingredients for flavor. As far as packaged foods, I really enjoy GoPicnic. I hadn't seen it brought up before. Not all of their meals are veg*n but some are. They are packed full of protein and fairly healthy. Target has them in Texas and slowly the rest of the retailers are getting them. Also Toffuti QTs are amazing! We have been buying those for several years. Definitely the best when it comes to ice cream. I'm really interested in those black bean brownies. I might have both ingredients in the house and will try them this week for sure. Protein and chocolate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember if I posted this or not, but this is my go to hummus recipe. I usually go heavy on the chipotle peppers and increase the lemon juice a bit. Probably takes me more time to collect all the ingredients than it does to actually make, super quick and easy overall though. http://hellyeahitsvegan.com/chipotle-hummus/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Avatar Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 does anyone like this? it actually does taste like chicken. Like white meat chicken. I don't know if it's my favorite mock or anything, but it was good for being GF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzersonKillwell Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I've had it. It is a decent substitute, though none of the mocks are all that close in my opinion. I found this brand to be pretty good for stuff where you are going to cube the protein. Pot Pies, Fake Chicken Salad, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out of Breath Records Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 So my grandma is in Europe for a couple weeks and I'm home alone, so I was looking for food and there was nothing so I grabbed an old jar of marinara and noodles, and I sautee the onions in soy sauce and butter, add the marinara, and tada delicious man spaghetti.
