Other people's recipes that I make a lot and LOVE: I have to qualify that I omit the oil and fats in general or greatly reduce them in just about all recipes that I find online. Unless they are Forks over Knives, China Study, or Whole Food Plant-Based recipes that exercise the 80/10/10 rule, I take the liberty to take a lot of the oil out. Don't worry, when you get used to eating very little oil it's hard to eat food that has a lot of it in there. It just tastes so heavy. Most of the time, the oil is used to saute vegetables and they come out great when you broth saute. We have been amazed how great broth sauteing works and how much it brings out the flavor of things. All of us whole food plant based eaters agree that you lose the taste for oil , so it's not just me! It takes a while to change your tastes, so give it some time. Here are some recipes that I make frequently. It is fun to play around with them by changing the grain you use, or what veggies you put in. There is so much variety in the fruit and veggie world to play mix and match with! Millet Veggie Burgers - Mind Body Green site is not all plant based, but they do have some very good vegan recipes! All recipes are at least vegetarian. I 2 t of oil when I made these and they were very good! ............................................ Brown rice-noodle bowl with homemade teriyaki-sauce....Angela of Oh She Glows has great vegan site and several cookbooks and her recipes are so good. A lot of them are pretty complicated. This recipe is simple and delicious and you can play around with it and add lots more veggies. ........................................... Yummly Asian Soup Recipes - There are LOTS of recipes on this link and I have tried many of them. I am a soup freak so the more soup recipes the better! ........................................... Creamy tofu savory sauce -This tastes amazing on brown rice, greens and beans or in a wrap. ........................................... Basil quinoa stuffed red pepper - Whole family liked this one.. A lot!! I make it once a week. ............................................ Autumn Vegetable Stew - I made this for Thanksgiving and it was ridiculous!! Ate it for a week!!! SO good!!! ............................................ Quinoa with roasted brussel sprouts - I used a lot less oil than called for in the dressing and it was still great ............................................. Crispy Quinoa Cakes - Mine fell apart a bit but were still delish. I had to add some red sauce to the top for my hubby to love. ............................................... Vegan chili - I make this ALL the time. A crunch some Trader Joe's Corn Chips on it and it is amazing! ............................................... Gluten free Veggie Lasagna_ - I doubted this would be good, but I looooved it. I added eggplant and zucchini that I thinly sliced with a mandolin and it really made it even better. I have also added spinach and mushrooms. I also use a lot of the tofu ricotta and less of the cheese than they do. I top mine with Rao's sauce and use Trader Joes's organic red fat free sauce in the rest of it. Also, I used GF brown rice lasagne noodles to make it gf. My version is here. ............................................... Vegetable paella - Pamela Salzman to the rescue again. So delish!!! ................................................ Parmesan Substitutes - These are made with nuts and nutritional yeast and are amazing subs ......................................... Vegan Cabbage Rolls.. I grew up woth Russian grandparents and stuffed cabbage was one of my favorite foods that my grandma made. It was stuffed with beef and rice. These reminded me of them without the beef!! So good!! ........................................... Vegetarian Portuguese Caldoverde Green Soup.....Wow! Is so delicious. …........................................ Verde green soup... YUM! …........................................ Burrito bowl....Plant based Mexican is the BEST! ............................................ Vegan No Tuna Tuna Salad - Insanely good sandwich that fills that "I need a tuna or egg salad sandwich" void. I have made it with1 T Veganaise instead of tahini which makes it no longer a whole food, but it's a different flavor and my son likes it better than the nutty sesame flavor the tamari has. ............................................ Kale & White Bean Minestrone... My good friend Pamela Salzman is a cooking Goddess and has some amazing plant based recipes I make this soup a lot. ............................................. Sweet potato and black bean tacos... Cookie and Kate have lots of great recipes on their site and I looooved these. You can totally play around and vary up what you put into these little beauties. .............................................. Sugar snap pea and carrot soba noodles.... I like soba noodles but since they have wheat I ate this with brown rice noodles .So good! ............................................... Roasted chickpea broccoli burrito - Hilarious site and book - Thug Kitchen. Great recipes! It is definitely a novel way of supporting veganism… Lots of F bombs and novel instruction. Take your f'ng spoon and stir that shit up! Definitely got my teens more interested in picking out recipes. ............................................... |
