Vegan/Vegetarian Thread (discussion, recipes, laughs)

Avocadoes are a great substitute for meat. Ghandi was a strict vegan who ate only Unfertilized eggs. My breakfast recipe is: ground almonds in a glass of orange juice.

I like to have either instant oatmeal or 0% fat plain Greek yogurt (lower carb) with cinnamon, fresh fruit, flax seed, ground walnuts, and unsweetened plain soymilk (if it's the oatmeal choice) and whole grain kamut puffs (if it's the yogurt choice).

I'm also very fond of avocados. I like them on veggie burgers or with hummus in sandwiches or in salads. And, I love sushi made with avocado and brown rice.

Tofu-Salad (for Sandwiches)
(I usually just mix up my own blend of whatever I have on hand, but for those that want an actual recipe....)

1/2 lb. soft tofu
3 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
1 1/2 Tbsp. sweetener of choice
1 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. turmeric
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 lb. firm tofu
1/2 cup celery, chopped
1/2 cup carrot, finely grated
1/2 cup cucumber, chopped
1/4 cup onion, chopped
1/4 cup parsley, chopped

In a blender or food processor, blend 1/2 lb. soft tofu, vinegar, sweetener, onion powder, turmeric, salt, and garlic powder until smooth.

Crumble 1/2 lb. firm tofu into a bowl. Mix in th ecelery, carrot, cucumber, onion, and parsley. Stir in the blended tofu mixture, and serve on your favourite bread.

(Ok, that's all just WAY too complicated...I just crumble firm tofu, chop some celery, maybe a little onion, black olives ('cause I love 'em!), some mayo, a touch of relish, garlic, turmeric, pepper...whatever....YUM!!!)

Vegan reporting for duty! Been vegan before people were really calling it that...early 90s. had my lapses; but it's mostly for health as I am still a leather-wearer. I try to buy all my leather second-hand, though.

Nutritional yeast is my favorite single thing in the entire world.
