OrangeJoe Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 First time seeing this thread, I've been a vegetarian about 9 years, one of my favorite dishes that is super easy (and vegan) is ; -2-3 avocados -garlic (use own discretion, I use 1 piece) -basil(5-6 leafs) -tsp olive oil -tsp water -tsp lemon juice -black pepper Add all those in a food processor until creamy and then add to your favorite noodles, takes 10 minutes and is delicious. Only downside is you can save it because of the avocados. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burningpewter Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Awesome. I live near Toronto and am there often. I look forward to trying it! Wicked! I live quite close to Through Being Cool, the vegan bakery, and Hogtown Vegan. It is nice being surrounded by so much vegan food, and i am excited to be contributing to toronto's excellent selection in the near future. Any food in Cambridge worth checking out?

radiatorhums Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I made some excellent tacos the other night and they were incredibly easy, 10 minutes of cook time at the most. Take 1 cup of walnuts and 1 cup of baby portobello mushrooms and chop them in a food processor until they're really close to crumbled ground beef. Throw it in a pan and head with 1 tbsp of tamari (or soy sauce), 1 tbsp of cumin and some cayenne (to taste). Once it's hot, toss them in a few tortillas and add whatever other taco stuff you want. Tastes surprisingly close to ground beef. I topped mine with avocado, homemade pico, lettuce, green onion and some hot sauce. I have a feeling I'm going to be making these a lot this summer.

Out of Breath Records Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Girlfriend converted to veg! We went to a little place called Seabirds Kitchen in Costa Mesa, tried their portabelo molé quesadilla. It had portabelos, carmelized onions, vegan cheese, and spinach, topped with molé sauce and chipotle (vegan?) sour cream. It was really good, but kind of too rich after the first slice. We also had it with some potato taquitos with chipotle sour cream dipping sauce. Great neat place. Will go there again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiatorhums Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Made a really simple salad for work this week. Garbanzo beans, quinoa, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, red onion, grape tomatoes and kalamata olives. Pretty happy with how it turned out. Think I'm going to add cucumbers next time though.

Team Avatar Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Those salads are seriously the best. Always a light dressing, always so good. My mom makes this killer salad. It's just corn, edamame and red peppers, mixed with some light oil / ACV dressing? ( I'm not really sure ) and it's too good. When she makes it, instead of buying frozen edamame beans and corn, she buys corn on the cob and frozen edamame shells, shaves the corn off and pops the seeds out. It's more work but it tastes surprisingly better than the completely frozen counterpart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzersonKillwell Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 We make a salad like that all the time. Usually add cukes too, red or yellow Bell peppers and artichoke hearts. Or some variation on those ingredients. Sometimes Orzo instead of quinoa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 my wife had vegetarian Haggis this morning in Scotland. no idea how that works, she forgot to take a picture of it for me. Made a really simple salad for work this week. Garbanzo beans, quinoa, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, red onion, grape tomatoes and kalamata olives. Pretty happy with how it turned out. Think I'm going to add cucumbers next time though. I make this allll the time, use a simple oil/vinegar dressing in it with all the veggies and quinoa! love it!

dreamover Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I made this awesome vegan cheese sauce over the weekend take one cup of unsweetened almond milk, 1/3 cup vegan butter melt in a medium nonstick sauce pan over medium heat once butter is melted, add 2 cup daiya cheddar shreds (or other vegan cheddar shreds), 1 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp of salt stir so the cheese doesn't stick to pan Cook for 10 minutes, then remove from heat and stir It's really good on nachos and tacos. I made a bean dip with it too. You can also put it in the fridge for 20 minutes and spread it on toast or throw over pasta for really good mac and cheese Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzersonKillwell Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Try to Diaya havarti wedge in a preparation like that if you used the shreds. I prefer it! Vegetarian haggis?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuzzersonKillwell Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 I really don't like it other than the occasional havarti wedge in a recipe. All manufactured dairy substitutes are pretty gnarly, except tofutti cre cheese which I can hang with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgrantx Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 I wanted to pop in here and attest my love for Louisville Vegan Jerky Company. It's a bit pricey but it's the best vegan jerky I've tasted. http://www.louisvilleveganjerkycompany.com/ It's only in smaller health food stores right now. I've been ordering it from Fakemeats.com If you guys are in NC check out these all vegetarain/vegan places: Raleigh- Fiction Kitchen (This place is amazing) and the Remedy Charlotte- ZiZi's and Bean Asheville - Rosetta's Kitchen, Plant (this place rules - expensive though), Laughing Seed Greensboro - Boba House passionbrand 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiatorhums Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Made these last night and topped them with spinach and avocado, turned out really well. I would maybe consider cutting the rice down just a bit though. http://ohsheglows.com/2011/10/24/black-bean-and-butternut-squash-burritos/ trevorxramage 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radiatorhums Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I have a potato and kale burrito that I make every once in a while too... I'm planning a potato burrito for next week. If my spinach is still good, I'll probably use that for the green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out of Breath Records Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Made pesto pasta (I know it's basically already vegetarian) but anyways I added my Maggi sauteed mushrooms and onions and some sliced heirloom tomatoes. It's pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitch. Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 I made a bunch of Chinese steamed buns for dinner and they were delicious. The only thing was was I made them a bit big, so when they finished steaming they were gigantic. I used the recipe from the video below, just remember to add olive oil when making the dough (it was either the Chinese hamburger or pork bun video she shows you how).
