Any vegans here?

Boco burgers are not vegan. They have eggs.
So nice to see another vegan.
We use yelp.com to find places to eat and shop. Type vegan restaurant in the search area.
For groceries, Trader Joe's has the best prices. We also shop Whole Foods, and Earth Fare. You can find vegan prepared foods in their deli.
Tofurkey makes great products.
Veganomicon and Vegan with a vengeance are two good books.
We were vegetarians since 1978 and vegans since Sept 2012. Since becoming vegan, I've lost weight and come off of 3 heart meds. I wish we'd done it sooner.
When I eat at vegan restaurants or attend a Vegfest (attend one of these for great info) I am struck by the beauty of people's skin and hair. They just look healthier.

OOps... missed the chicken in the assembly portion of the recipe. It was originally an all vegetables recipe from my mom in Tennessee - I added the chicken and cayenne.

yes, pizza sounds good...sans the cheese and roasted veggies are yum!
Although some freshly grated parm/reg cheese would be perfecttttttttt.

Thanks!

Another one of my favorites is Edible Prespective She is not vegan but she doesn't eat meat and usually gives substitutions. Bonus for you - she is gluten free! Her recipes and photography are to die for. She also illustrated another one of my favorite cookbooks "Peas and Thank You" from the now-defunct blog of the same name but you should be able to find a copy. Anything by Dreena Burton is wonderful too.
My favorite veggie burger is 1/3 cup kidney beans, 1 T oats, however much liquid of your choice to make it wet enough to shape (I use lite soy sauce) pan fry both sides until crispy. So good! I used to make a great pizza too - no cheese just lots of mostly roasted veggies. Hmm I might have to go back to being vegan, I sort of miss it!

This looks like another good link http://www.vegkitchen.com/recipes-galore/

Vegan here also for a year now. Have been vegetarian for about 20. My hubby eats what I cook but will have meat if we go out or if it is served at someones house. We do vegan camping. I recommend just keeping it simple with recipes you both like. We eat a lot of Mexican minus the cheese. Italian dishes ( spagehtti sauce with lots of veggies like mushrooms, zuchinni,peppers etc), lots of soups. If you have a good library I would check out books. I look on Amazon for Vegan cookbooks then go to the library and check them out if they have them. Food for Life is one I use a lot by Dr Neal Barnard. Also here is a website you might like. http://thevegan8.com/recipes/

I am vegan and DH is a carnivore. There are a lot of recipes on-line that I like. I use egg substitute when making waffles, and DH has his bacon and eggs. There are also a lot of nice recipes for vegan burgers and I like to bring vegan hot dogs when camping. I always offer them to friends, but they all laugh and say no thanks.

Thanks will print it out to try.

This is one of my favorite recipes. Dr Kim has a website with other recipes and tips for healthy living...he's also on Facebook.


Garbanzo Bean Burger Recipe

Posted By Dr. Ben Kim

Ingredients:

1 cup of cooked garbanzo beans (chick peas)
1 cup of cooked brown rice
1/2 cup of rolled oats
1 rib of celery, finely chopped
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 clove of garlic, minced
2 tablespoons of naturally brewed soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
Extra virgin olive oil
Whole grain bread/buns of your choice
Mustard of your choice
Lettuce leaves
Tomato slices
Cucumber slices or sliced pickles
Red onion slices

Directions:

Mash garbanzo beans with a fork until they turn into a coarse paste. Mix mashed garbanzo beans with brown rice, oats, celery, onion, garlic, soy sauce, and black pepper. Use your hands to form mixture into six patties.

Cook patties over medium heat in a pan that is lightly covered with extra virgin olive oil. Cook until both sides are lightly browned.

Serve these bean patties with the rest of the ingredients listed above, just as you would put together a regular burger.

Thanks!

Ya know I could never understand why everyone seemed to navigate towards fake bologna, fake hamburger/veggie burgers,trying to replicate meat...like they really wanted to eat meat? Nwo bacon...I will try the morningstar fake bacon...could add some nice flavors. I used to love bacon! It still kills me when I smell someone cooking it in the campground...I want to run over and swipe some strips....:B
