Easy substitutions for a plant-based lifestyle. One of the nasty pitfalls of becoming vegan or pursuing a more plant-based, healthy lifestyle is the allure of vegan or low-calorie products. These packaged goods mock the “real” thing with often not so forgiving preservatives, colorants, and other additives. That’s why one of the biggest challenges is finding simple, within-hands-reach ways to replace the most common ingredients with their vegan or healthy (and just-as-real) counterparts.
8 Substitutions for a Healthier Kitchen
Black bean brownies have made their rounds in the diet circuit for years and more recently have popped up on vegan blogs. I'd never been much attracted to them but then my good friend Tara insisted I try my hand at a healthy vegan version. Oh, my! Why didn't I listen to Tara sooner? This recipe and over 175 recipes are in my new cookbook .

Who came up with the idea that we are supposed to drink orange juice at breakfast? And why, if oatmeal is so good for us, do we eat that only in the morning as well? Apologies to the Palinites, but nutritionists are starting to realize that you and I like our oatmeal and OJ before we start the day because we evolved to like it that way—because enjoying the two together is healthier than eating each of them alone. Epidemiologist David R. Jacobs, Ph.D., of the University of Minnesota calls it food synergy, and he, along with many other nutritionists, believes it might explain why Italians drizzle cold-pressed olive oil over tomatoes and why the Japanese pair raw fish with soybeans.
Thomas Edison was right about the importance of diet but wrong with his prediction about the future of doctors and medicine. We are living in the age of Edision’s future doctor and the last thing many of them seem to do is interest his patient in the care of the human frame and diet. The average meat eating American will consume 15 cows, 24 hogs, 900 chickens, 12 sheep and 1,000 pounds of birds/fish in their lifetime which is a tremendous amount of animal flesh to be consumed by the human body.

I know what you might be thinking. . .avocado and chocolate?! No way! But really, you don't taste the avocado--it just replaces the egg and most of the oil.

I’ve been making this recipe for years because it’s so delicious – and by keeping frozen corn tortillas and store-bought enchilada sauce on hand, I can whip-up homemade vegan enchiladas in no time. Notes This recipe normally calls for 19oz of enchilada sauce, but I only had about half of that amount on-hand. Your enchiladas will be much “saucier” by using the full amount listed below. My fiancé doesn’t like olives, so I leave them out of the filling and just some to my dish before serving. You can leave them out entirely if you don’t like them either.

Vegan Taco Salad with Homemade Tortilla Bowls | vegangela
My awesome little mama has been cooking up a storm for me during my stay in Ottawa and I thought it only fair that I return the favor by making her lunch earlier this week. My mom can make pretty much anything, but she had never made taco salads before. And I know that she loves the taco salad at a certain Mexican fast food joint south of the border. So I figured that homemade taco salads would be a nice little lunch that we could enjoy together. I first came across the idea of making my own tortilla bowls over at Emily’s blog, Ordinary Arts .
I started making this sandwich back in high school, and although I don’t consider it a real “recipe”, it’s something that I make from time to time when I’m craving a sandwich or I’m in need of a quick meal. It can be easily customized to your personal sandwich preferences and/or whatever you have on hand at the moment. Making a Tofu Sandwich Fry-up a couple slices of tofu with a bit of peanut oil, pepper and a splash of tamari (light soy sauce) Blot the tofu on a paper towel to absorb any extra oil Smother your bread (toasted or not), pita or wrap with soy mayonnaise (use gluten-free bread if that’s an issue for you) Top with fresh tomato, lettuce and avocado. Other options: pickles, shredded carrot, beetroot, cucumber slices… Enjoy! <p style="text-align:right;color:#A8A8A8"></p>

My Dad's "Not-Mutton" Mushroom Curry | Holy Cow! Vegan Recipes|Eggless Recipes|Dairy-free Recipes|Indian Recipes
I grew up in a meat-eating household and one of our family's long-standing traditions was a mutton curry that my dad prepared each Sunday. My dad, who was very handy around the kitchen unlike many men of his generation in India, would do most of the work, right from buying the meat in the morning to actually cooking it, as well as supervising everyone in the household who had some role to play in the actual preparation. My job was peeling a whole bulb of garlic and grating two kinds of coconut, fresh and dry. I hated both jobs: the juices from the garlic set my fingernails on fire, and I don't remember a time when I didn't grate my hand along with the coconut!

Vegan MoFo #25 – My favorite risotto recipe is easily my mushroom risotto . I love the creaminess of the rice, and the earthiness of the various mushrooms and truffle oil. It requires opening a bottle of white wine, and I enjoy the process of making it: add broth… stir rice… sip wine… repeat!Vegan MoFo #24 – When One Green Planet approached me last week and and asked if I could submit an original vegan Thanksgiving recipe, I jumped at the chance. Although I cook almost everyday, I don’t often keep track of ingredients and whatnot. This was an opportunity to create and document a real recipe, from scratch. I was honored that they’d pick me to be a guest writer and really enjoyed the challenge. I decided to use butternut squash because it’s one of my favorite vegetables – and also because it was the only squash that I could easily find in Australia at the moment! I used quinoa because it fit with my low-carb theme this week.

Despite being vegan for many years, I’ve never attempted to make my own vegan cheese. The process always seemed a bit daunting and since I went vegan in the Southern United States in the mid-90s, I quickly got used to living without cheese alternatives (or any processed vegan food for that matter!) Sure, I love a nutritional cheese sauce as much as the next girl, and I’ve enjoyed a couple pizzas here and there sprinkled with Vegan Gourmet or Daiya , but other than that, vegan cheese hasn’t played a big part in my diet.

Warning: this is another post for mushroom-lovers. If you’re not a fan of them, then you may want to escape to chocolate-land and forget that you ever saw this. Ok, onto the fungi. Once again, I have gone overboard at the farmer’s markets, and last week I found myself with way too many mushrooms.
