N-Joy! <3

I love vegan corn chowder, using almond milk. I also like tacos filled with beans, lettuce, tomatoes, salsa. Then of course Hummus is a perfect dip, for everything. How long have you been vegan? I have been vegan for 3 years, but was vegetarian for a long time.

I have a recipe, but not quite for those days. and i'm not sure you have all the ingredients..

1 small bag of granulated soy [this is how we call it here] - about 100 grams? Boil it and season it with some salt 1 jar of a vegetable stew [we have zacusca. it's made for winter and usually eaten on bread like a breakfast, or as starters. we can buy it pre-made of course, but home-made is best, but who has the time to make that? any other stew should work, make sure it's not very liquid]. a bag of tortilla sheets (is this what they're called?)

mix the stew with the boiled soy in a pan, over some heat. some 5 to 10 minutes should do it. spread 1 spoon of the mixture over 1 tortilla sheet, and roll it up. repeat until you run out of mixture, and serve. you can wrap this in plastic and take with you to school or work as lunch. You could probably freeze them too, if you think you can't eat so much at once, but i never tried it [freezing leftovers is not something we do over here, but i'm not sure why].

i hope this helps? even if the reply is SO late u.u

This is the ultimate lazy day meal (if you can call it that even) for those days I really cannot be bothered. Basically I just cook some noodles (usually ramen or rice noodles), then microwave with some peanut butter, soy sauce and coconut milk and there you have it - creamy, satay-ish noodles ;D I'll top it with whatever is in the fridge/cupboard... for example a tin of chickpeas/lentils, leftover tofu etc.

I used to do that exact thing! Only I'd add some curry seasoning or sriracha to spice them up. Oh man, it sounds really good right now too but I'm currently doing this vegan keto thing so ramen is out. ._. That said, something I keep making (practically every day lol) are these super-easy, low-carb breaded tofu nuggets:

1/4 cup almond meal 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast whatever seasonings you want (I usually use 1/4 tsp adobo or creole seasoning, you could do garlic, salt, pepper, whatever) half a block of firm tofu, cut into cubes

Mix all the dry stuff in a bowl, roll the tofu cubes around in it (tofu is generally wet enough to make it stick just fine...don't bother trying to squeeze all the water out of it or anything, just drain the tub when you open it), lay them out on a cookie sheet, and toss 'em in the oven for a while at, I don't know, 350-400? I'm not a chef lol. I just keep an eye on them and flip them over after a while (maybe 15-20 minutes) and then bake the other side. Anyway, they always come out perfect and golden even though I clearly don't know what I'm doing haha and they're a perfect vehicle for sriracha or whatever kind of sauce you like. I'm pretty proud of these since I figured out how to make them all by myself and I haven't even burned down my kitchen yet. :P

See how delicious they look

ohhh my goodness that sounds amazing, absolutely trying this tomorrow! So they crisp up okay even without oil?

Yep, in my experience at least, they do! I was oiling the cookie sheet when I first started making these because I assumed I needed to but then I just kinda...stopped (because yes, I'm that lazy) and they still turn out fine. XD Good luck, I hope they turn out great for you!

ah awesome! I have tummy troubles and can't really eat rich things like oil D: so making things as crispy as I'd like is tough hahah very excited to try these

just in case you want in on some of these recipes :)

I mean, I don't know if I'd call them "crispy" but they have kind of a nice, non-greasy breaded texture...maybe the oil naturally present in almond meal is enough? I just know I find these really satisfying considering that breading and frying things in the conventional manner at home is a big, messy PITA and flour-battered stuff from a restaurant doesn't work for me right now. So these might be sort of a compromise but I think they're pretty great considering how little effort they take!

ETA: Here's a variation I did where I sliced instead of cubed them. I've never considered myself much of a cook so I was just super proud of these things turning out looking like restaurant food; hence the photos. I've never felt compelled to photograph my food before lol

I make an easy vegan cowboy beans recipe taste like BBQ beans 1 can of pinto beans 1 can of black beans 1 can of garbanzo beans ( honestly you can add what ever beans and how many beans you want) I saute a yellow onion with some garlic in the pot first ( also jalapeno too if you like heat) you can also add bell peppers then I add the beans to a pot with mustard, ketchup, brown sugar, liquid smoke, and things like seasoned salt,(cumin if you like the heat) and let it simmer^^

don't have exact measurements cos its to your taste but its super fast and easy to make and it tastes like you made it all day!

Also if you put in all the ingredients in a crockpot the night before and then put it on low then when you get up while you're at work you come home to a cooked meal<3

Here's a really easy recipe for vegan cottage cheese.

1 lb of tofu (firm or extra firm) 2/3 cup of vegan mayo (I like Just Mayo brand best) 2 tsp onion powder 1 tsp garlic powder 1 tsp salt 1 tsp ground dill seed ( if you don't have dill seed handy use pickle juice!)

Just mash the tofu and mix everything together. Great with tortilla chips or just by itself as a snack.

These all sound amazing! My favorite recipe is what I call "Kale Mix", it's low carb (which is important to me) and super healthy!

Kale Collard Greens Spinach Broccoli Cauliflower Mushrooms (I use white button, any kind is fine)

Garlic Powder Onion Powder Nutritional Yeast Salt (optional)

Start by drizzling some oil of your choice over the kale and "massage" it (that makes it tender; easier to eat) and start sauteing. You can add everything else, including the seasonings, while the kale is cooking but the spinach should be last since it cooks down faster. I really don't measure anything, just however much you want. Extra nooch (nutritional yeast) is always fine too - it really makes this recipe and gives it a "cheesy" flavor.

You can also add in some tofu or seitan to the mix if you like. :3

I usually just make this broth when im craving food when i dont need any, however since this broth is 0 calories go ahead and add unlimited amounts of vegetables to your hearts content. Is delicious believe it or not haha, just blend the spices and stir them into the boiling water. I dont usually need 4 cups, i just cut the recipe in half.

Vegetable Broth

Ingredients:

• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp ground thyme
• 1 tsp ground paprika
• 0.25 tsp ground black pepper
• 4 cups boiling water

My favorite vegetarian comfort food is spaghetti. Specifically the recipe was called One-Pot Vegetarian Spaghetti...but you know, any spaghetti without meat is technically vegetarian, right(?).

Ingredients: 1 whole onion 1 tomato (I use diced canned tomatoes because I'm lazy) 4 oz diced mushrooms Spaghetti Pasta sauce 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes 2 cloves garlic Tablespoon of oil (vegetable, canola, olive, coconut, etc)

Directions: Boil water for your pasta. While the water is boiling go ahead and chop up your vegetables and set aside. In a skillet, add a tablespoon of the oil of your choice and heat up. Once the water has begun to boil, add your pasta and cook according to directions on package. In the skillet, add your onions and mushrooms and saute under tender (about 5-7 minutes). Once tender, add your spices (including garlic) and cook for about 30 seconds. Add your tomatoes and cook until heated through. Once the pasta is done, drain the water and add it back to the pot. Then, add your vegetables and the pasta sauce and mix thoroughly. Then serve and enjoy!

I like to make a single serve soup by taking whatever broth I have on hand (or adding a little miso paste to water) and mixing in: a teaspoon of sesame oil salt, pepper, and powdered ginger to taste (I like a lot of ginger; it helps my stomach) and that's it. I take that base and plop whatever veggies, noodles, and/or protein sounds good at the moment and heat it all up in the microwave. If I'm feeling fancy I might cut up some chives for it, but generally not lol. By only making a bowlful for me to have right now I don't have to bother with much clean up and that's always a plus for me on days when I'm not really with it.

Olive oil dip too! I'd forgotten about that, but it takes seconds to prepare. You just take a bottle of olive oil and drop herbs (a few teaspoons of that pre-minced garlic and a bunch of "italian seasoning") and a little salt and balsamic vinegar in it and leave it in the fridge for a while to infuse. Then, you've got a nice instant snack whenever. When you want some of it just shake the bottle to mix and pour some in a bowl and go at it with some bread. It's nice for when you want something fast, but kind of savory. One of my friends likes to drizzle that on her peppers when she roasts them too. As a bonus if you have friends over they think you're bougie when you bring out the sliced baguette and olive oil dip.

I'm not vegan but I've made this pizza for my friend who is: Trader Joe's vegan pizza dough or vegan lavash garlic hummus mushrooms (sautéed if you're feeling fancy) sun-dried tomatoes a pinch of oregano

If it's on pizza dough then bake it at 450F regular or 425F convection for ~25 mins or whatever the directions on the dough say. On a lavash I will just blast it at 500F for ~5 mins.

It's one of my favourite pizzas to make!

I made a slow cooker vegan casserole last night which was great! It fed about 6 people? It was one leek, one red onion, two celery stalks, a handful of carrots, a handful of potatoes, a punnet of mushrooms, two cloves of garlic, a can of chopped tomatoes, a couple of cups of vegetable stock and a cup of pearl barley. All chopped and thrown in the slow cooker (crockpot) for 4 hours.

My lazy day meals are rice and beans 75% of the time, but I also like making breaded tofu "burgers"

here's my recipe for the poor man's breaded tofu *burger *burger= edibles slapped on top of a slice of bread

•tofu •breadcrumbs •any plant milk •any flour •salt •bread •v. mayo •ketchup •pickles

1. cut the tofu
2. mix the flour and milk so it's sticky (and add some salt)
3. smear the tofu with the sticky stuff
4. slam that sh*t in the breadcrumbs
5. fry
6. wait
7. get the bread
8. add mayo, pickles, ketchup, whatever you want on it
9. put those hot tasty sticks on there
10. enjoy

here's a picture of what this looks like

They look good! I fry tofu slices without breading them and sprinkle them with garlic and onion powder and yeast. Will definitely try adding some breading next time.

I never know what to do with tofu, so I’ll definitely be trying those burgers! :D
