Vegan/Vegetarian Thread (discussion, recipes, laughs)

[Kelt]

I'm not sure if I should post in here, I am still an omnivore of sorts. I would say that 90% of the time I would be a lacto/ovo/pesco, and not much of that. (Does that even count?)

Today I set about batch cooking and discovered that everything I made would qualify as vegetarian, even vegan, by choice. It's just what sounded good and I didn't even try to avoid animal products.

I made 10 servings each of:

Many vegetable and barley soup, more like stew
Lentil soup
Quinoa and Black Beans
Black Bean and tri-color pepper vinaigrette salad
Also made a weeks worth of oatmeal in advance

This way just by tossing together a few quick salads and replenishing fruit a couple of times, I shouldn't have to cook for a couple of weeks. It helps that I don't mind repeat meals.
I also rounded out the fridge and pantry for other stand alone items.

And just because I am feeling decadent and experimental;
Coconut rice for dessert, subbing quinoa for the rice and will top with berries
