VEGAN substitutions and converting recipes to vegan. Virtually All meat is altered before it is eaten. The final product is "what it is" through texture, spices and usually a high contact of fat, which isn't good for you in any form. (see side note below) so using a "meat" replacement should not be that big of a deal. I of course haven't tried all the substitutes out there so there might be even better ones, since I found these. The ones I list here are the ones that I use in my recipes, and have fooled many a meat eater with them! The easist way to substitute meat in a dish, is to use tofu! You can crumble it, in place of burger, or fry it or bake it.. Beef, chicken pork, etc.... each have many analogs out there. You will see TVP , which stands for texturized vegetable protein, which can be used in just about any recipe.

I prefer a mild flavor alternative in most recipes, such as the There are many alternative Burger products on the market. The best burger substitute I found is called Soy 7, or aka "whole Earth" burger mix l. Cream Cheese. Which candies are vegan? Raw Holiday Pecans. The following is adapted from an article by Carissa Leventis-Cox of Mama in the Kitchen, and she ain’t cookin’! My cousin Ami served her father’s Christmas Garlic Pecans a few years ago, and they were delicious and addictive. I think I kept pestering her to make it since then because I never knew that pecans could taste so good. In the past few years, I have discovered other recipes for pecans.

Here is a raw holiday pecan recipe spiced with cinnamon and rosemary. People never guess that this is a raw treat. Enjoy! Raw Holiday Pecans 2 cups raw pecans 1/4 tsp. cinnamon 1/4 tsp. pepper 1 tsp. chili powder 2 tsp. sea salt 2 tsp. paprika 2 tsp. Soak the pecans overnight. Makes 1 tasty bowlful. Accidentally Vegan. Grocery stores carry an array of great-tasting vegan options, including some items that you might not know are vegan. “Accidentally vegan“ foods are those that were not created intentionally to be marketed to vegan eaters. Many products, including faux franks; veggie burgers; chicken-free chicken patties; flavored soy, almond, and rice milks; nondairy ice creams; and other sensational snacks, are marketed to vegetarians and vegans.

However, there’s also an abundance of chips, dips, cookies, candies, frozen pies, soups, and other mouthwatering items produced by some of the most well-known brands that are also vegan. Take a stroll through your local grocery store and check out some ingredient lists, and you’ll see what we mean. Please note that this list is just for U.S. Thank you, and happy munching!

Breakfast (Dry) Beverages Snacks Condiments Baked Goods Refrigerated and Frozen Foods Baking. The Ultimate Vegan Baking Cheat Sheet. Recipes | That's So Vegan. Creamy Baked Artichoke Dip. The following article was written by Keegan Baur. Holiday parties are just around the corner, and we’re all gearing up to prepare—and eat—the delicious food that comes with them. In preparation, I’ve been looking for an artichoke dip recipe that doesn’t contain vegan mayonnaise. I finally found an interesting one in the cookbook Eat, Drink, & Be Vegan by Dreena Burton. However, much to my dismay, the recipe was chock-full of one of my least favorite ingredients: olives. (I wouldn’t touch an olive with a 10-foot pole, even if you dared me.) So I changed the recipe and made it my own, keeping potatoes as the base. I’m 100 percent satisfied with the results. This recipe was adapted from Eat, Drink & Be Vegan. Creamy Baked Artichoke Dip Approx. 6 in.

With Jaggery! The Indian version of this rice krispy is called Murmura Laddoo and is made into a ball. Sometimes peanuts, coconut flakes, raisins are also added to the balls. Jaggery is traditional unrefined non centrifugal whole cane sugar. It is rich in minerals and salts, vitamins and even contains some fibre, whereas sugar, being highly refined, lacks these things. These Rice krispies are a fusion one with a secret ingredient.

Directions: In a thick-bottomed vessel, add half cup water, half cup apple juice(I added some fresh with minimal pulp) and jaggery. I couldnt find Jaggery powder, so I added 2 by 2 by 1 inch block. Cook on medium, stirring occassionally till the jaggery dissolves. Cook on low-medium heat and keep an eye on the mixture. Reduce heat to low when the mixture begins to concentrate and foam. Remove from heat, and let sit for 2-3 minutes. Vegan Halloween Spritz Cookies. It's finally October!

Hubba, hubba, dairy-free recipes!

But before we get to that… How is it already Sunday? And, the last weekend in September? Weekends have Life is just flying by. I spent most of the day yesterday running around the city. After heading in to the city to visit my Chiropractor, my #1 priority was finding some chocolate soy pudding for Kevin. I’ve told him multiple times that I can make him pudding, but he refuses.

Eh, more for me! Then it was on to find him raspberry soda mix for our sodastream machine. While I was searching for said mixture, I stumbled on a rolling pin sale! Awesome. I’ve been using an old (clean) wine bottle as a rolling pin since I started the blog. I figured it was time for an upgrade. Then, Kevin and I went to Home Depot… again. I found some awesome paint colors and a couple more wood stains for more homemade blog props! I really need to start planning the paint colors for the house, but I figure painting little pieces of wood is good practice for large walls. Baby steps. Raw desserts have become an integral part of my diet. While I wouldn’t go as far to say they are completely guilt free, they do carry a somewhat lesser burden than their sugar filled and usually horribly processed counterparts. It wasn’t until I became vegan and started exploring whole foods in more depth that I came across raw cuisine. Can you believe I had never heard of such a thing?

It amazes me to think I once lived in a bubble where I had very little understanding of food and nutrition. I often think back to those days and wonder how on earth I ever managed to stay relatively trim and fit; I have a feeling it would have caught up with me at some point -- bad diets have a habit of doing that! Not that my diet or lifestyle was particularly bad. I didn't overeat and we never frequented fast food joints -- even then they horrified me. Never would I have thought it possible to replace a product like cream with a plant based, never mind raw, alternative. Cashew Cream Cups Ingredients Notes.

Xxx. Jack-o-Pumpkin Breakfast Sandwich. It's been a while since I grilled up a vegan breakfast sandwich and my fall inspired mood was the perfect excuse to create a new recipe! My Jack-o-Pumpkin Breakfast Sandwich is stacked tall with savory sweet flavors throughout. Sweet maple pumpkin butter is slathered on each grilled whole wheat English muffin.

September 25, 2011 at 5:11 pm The first time I had lentils was at my best friend Holly’s house in middle school (taking me back a couple years!).

That’s the same house where I discovered my love for Persian food…oh wow, so good! My favorite dish her mom made was Adas Polo (rice, lentils, currants/raisins, spices and sometimes meat – chicken, ground lamb or beef)…I remember the taste to this day! I’ve never tried to make my own version of Adas Polo (thinking I could never come close to hers) but I have experimented with lentils in the last several years, particularly the past couple months. For those that are unfamiliar with lentils, they are grouped with beans and peas as part of the legume family because they grow in pods. Lentils are high in protein and fiber and low in fat, which makes them a healthy substitute for meat.

They’re also packed with folate, iron, phosphorus, potassium and fiber. Lentils come in three main varieties: brown, green and red. A few tips on choosing your color: Yeasted Applesauce Whole Wheat Bread. When I was in grad school, one of my classmates who was in her mid thirties became a good friend of mine. She had told me once - "When you walk in to a room to do something and totally forget what it was when you get to the room, that is a sign that you are in mid thirties". I, who was in mid twenties at that time had laughed at it. But it is so true. Every person has his/her strengths, weaknesses. One of my strength is 'memory' or so I thought.

One year back - Curried pasta with Green Tomato SauceIngredients: Whole Wheat flour - 3 cups (I used King Arthur Flour brand) Warm Water - 1/4 cup Sweetened applesauce - 1 cup (If using unsweetened, add 2 TBSP of sugar) Salt - 1/2 tsp Instant yeast - 2 tsp (Use 2 1/2 tsp if using active dry yeast) Raisins - 1 cup (optional) Method:To make the dough by hand: Mix applesauce and warm water.

Blueberry pumpkin hemp muffins. I’m glad most of you liked the birds – those guys were fun to photograph. I still look at the photos and laugh – the bold guy in front is just so cute. Yesterday I was up early as usual, and had a craving for a muffin for my birthday breakfast. I have been doing the juice fast again the last several days, and took a break yesterday as we had dinner plans (I will tell you all about it soon – fantastic dinner!). With plans to start the juice fast again today, I figured I could make some muffins worthy of a birthday and still be good for us. So while I am enjoying juice for breakfast, I am sharing blueberry pumpkin hemp muffins with you. One of my favorite muffins is blueberry, and one of my favorite quick breads is pumpkin.
