about vegan and vegetarians
Dedicated to Vegans and Vegetarians who would like to discuss, share recipes, places to buy, etc.
Okay so my Hubby is laughing at me for starting this Group since I am neither. I am learning and very interested in learning how to cook and create new menu ideas. I have a Daughter by marriage who is vegetarian and I really do not have a stumbling block when it comes to her and cooking. Now enters a wonderful Friend of ours who is Vegan. We so love having her over for dinner and Family events. I just hate her coming up and having the same old things...I am learning whatever I make for us as meatetarians I can copy to Vegan with a little extra effort...meaning reading all ingrediants when purchasing.
So if you are interested in learning and sharing Please come in.
BTW I do love growing my own fruits and veggies...I have a wonderful garden every year and many fruits around our yard...many of you may already know this.

The other thing is really good in a chili is TVP. I find that the TVP will really absorb all the spices and flavors. Plus it is less expensive then the crumbles and stores well.

Whole Foods used to carry Nate's meatballs. (gonna guess they still do) They are really, really good. Trader Joes has some that are cheaper but they aren't as good as Nates.

Hope everyone is having a GREAT weekend!!! I am so glad it is the weekend...it has been a rough one to say the least BUT we made it through!!!
I am so ready to start planting all my goodies in the garden but waiting...some of my plants and trees had to come in again as cooler weather hurts them especially my banana tree. Nothing better then fresh veggies out of the garden!!!

Headlong, can you add this link into the main profile so that it won't get lost?
http://www.wral.com/golo/blogpost/4812452/
When you guys add recipes, either add the link to the collection blog or put the link here and one of us can add it in. That way all the recipes will stay together and be easy to find.
I am too lazy to alphabetize, but if there is a nice OCD person around who wants to go in there and fix them, it will not hurt my feelings. I just hate alphabetizing things.

Headlong and I don't know if it will let you or not. If it will not, then I will go in there and add your blogs to the master recipe list.
I need to go through all my recipes and find something really tasty to send in to send in for the cookbook. I have this really good black bean, rice, almond, golden raisin casserole that someone once gave me the recipe for that is AMAZING. I just have been kind of making it up as I go along recently, but I would like to actually put the proper recipe in there.
I was told that they are going to have a vegetarian section so it would be nice if the veggies on GOLO all represented. :)

We went to the Mellow Mushroom Sunday night again. OMG Sooo Good!!! And Sue was excited to learn they have soy cheese so she can also have Pizza there!!!
BTW there is a Mellow Mushroom in Wake Forest...US1 ALT across from the WalMart!!!
I know the one in Durham always has wonderful food...my favorite is Portabella Mushroom, Artichoke, Sun Dried Tomato sub. BUT Sue let me try a taste of her Tempa (spelling) which was so good and I want to try this sub next time. I am not Vegan nor Vegetarian but do enjoy my veggies more then meat. Plus hard for me to give up my fish *LOL*

Crocus...take this Vegetarian for what he is...a silly silly man who loves to make people laugh and giggle. Just watch his faces and you will know quickly.

BlueDevil...Don't you just love the Mellow Mushroom YUM!!! I have yet to be to the one in Wake Forest BUT if it is half as good as the one in Durham I am excited!!! We just learned they do have "soy" cheese for those who are Vegan. Sue was excited she could have cheese on her subs and pizza there. Next time I go I am having what Sue and Kat had...I got to taste a bit of it and YUMMY!!!

And again Thank You Crocus for all you have been doing!!! Amazing!!! I will get to a lot of reading when things calm down a bit for me again...though do they ever *LOL* Another step accomplished by my Daughter yesterday and more bandages removed!!! Got to love young age, fitness, and the ability to bounce back so quickly.
BTW you all would be proud of me...I had a Portabella Mushroom instead of a hamburger last night...hamburgers are not my favorite anyway as is no red meats...and home made sweet potato french fries!!! BUT of course did have my cheese...I love cheese and yet another food I could never live without *smiles* And I am getting braver tasting things I have made...the Vegan Coconut Cream Pie was pretty good BUT a bit to sweet for me. BUT person who I made it for enjoyed so all that matters!!! AND I was told after about 24 hours it was well set. Gosh I was so upset I could not get it to set...lesson learned :)

Crocus you are my hero!!! You keep up very well with all this stuff better then I could ever. I have been so busy running here and there and every where. I can never Thank You enough for jumping on in with both feet!!!
You would have been proud of me lately as I have been trying new things...Okay can not give up my cheese BUT I have had a Tempeh Sub which was wonderful!!! Even brought half home and my one Daughter took some bites thinking how good the flavor was...then asked what it was *LOL* Last night while they all ate their hamburgers...I am not a big fan of them and never have been...I had my Portabella Mushroom grilled YUM!!! I could so easily convert minus cheese and fish...love them both so much. I have even been skipping most meats I make and just eating the veggies and rice. And patting myself on back for this...instead of ordering Seaseme Chicken for Chinese...Yep Veggies is my new love!!!

I had a friend come over for dinner last night and made homemade roast seitan (used the pot roast recipe but roasted it in the oven instead of the stove as I have a shortage of pots) It turned out great!! I'm tempted to make some more today as my friend packed himself a doggy bag and cleaned me out of seitan.
