Kirby Posted February 27, 2023 Share #4 Posted February 27, 2023 Vegetarian - Pizza These are mostly not vegan, and some aren't vegetarian, but I saved this link from Midwestern Living with a variety of salad recipes. A number looked tasty https://www.midwestliving.com/food/salads/sumptuous-salads/?taid=63e281b93bfef600015b97d3&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shootingstar Posted February 27, 2023 Share #6 Posted February 27, 2023 Well, made a smoked salmon with sprouts, tomato, cheese and avocado on baguette with mustard. That was supper, with green tea. Are dairy products still kosher for you? Plain yogurt with fruit or nuts and low-fat milk with cereal. For snack, I will have a dollop of plain yogurt and another flavoured and today's with cut pineapple large chunks + blueberries. Butternut squash with 1 cooked cubed apple or pear, cooked with veggie boullion broth and even minced ginger if desired. Mulch with immersion blender. Voila your soup with dollop of plain yogurt. If you drain plain yogurt in a fine wire mesh strainer in fridge for few hrs.: low fat spread/dip. with fresh herbs. Simple and lovely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoseySusan Posted February 27, 2023 Share #9 Posted February 27, 2023 I’m going to try this chickpea sandwich fillings this week. An alternative to hummus in a pita with veggies. Probably skip the nutritional yeast. https://myquietkitchen.com/vegan-chicken-salad/ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have done some eggplant..but it is a night shade...and night shades are not great for psoriasis..so like tomatoes and peppers...I watch how much I use them. Zucchini on the other hand makes me miserable..doubled over in pain..the skin...I believe is the culprit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Posted February 27, 2023 Share #12 Posted February 27, 2023 I think Love and Lemons is all vegan. You can scan the website and get lots of ideas. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralphie ★ Posted February 27, 2023 Share #13 Posted February 27, 2023 When I need a quick and easy meal or snack I like to just have cottage cheese with cucumber, tomato, celery, onion, pepper, whatever. Very low cal. A little heavy on the dairy but that at least adds some protein. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have a favorite..simple vegan or vegetarian recipe you want to share? It's hardly "crazy" to go vegan (let alone vegetarian). But, darn, I do love dairy products! Maybe I'll flip through our recipe binders, but there are pretty much a BAZILLION lentil and chickpea and the like recipes out there that are delicious.

I went years and years with salads as a side to meals we make. IOW - an afterthought for the most part. My wife cranked up her keto diet, and I went looking for good options to keep my meals "simple" when not eating what she went with. Big ass salads became my go to for quick and easy. Just add a ton of "extra" stuff and it is a fun adventure. I often add cheese or sardines for some protein, but you can easily keep it vegetarian/vegan by skipping that. I like adding shaved carrots, chopped peppers, tomatoes, craisins, chopped walnuts, cukes, etc. Fun and easy, and strange I didn't do it much before. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting more plants is is a good idea, though! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When my wife gets a roasted chicken and we shred off some of the breast, it is great on a salad. Or crumbled bacon. Or even cubes of a ham.

TrentonMakes Posted February 27, 2023 Share #23 Posted February 27, 2023 15 hours ago, petitepedal said: I have yet to try vegan cheese There are reasonably good or very good non-dairy substitutes for many things. In my opinion, cheese is the only one that's really lacking. For full disclosure, I don't like American cheese and most of the non-dairy cheese substitutes I have had (cheddar and provolone-style slices) resemble a flavored American cheese in taste and texture. If you like American cheese your experience might be better. Mozzarella shreds too... we make homemade personal pizzas sometimes and I can't decide whether the fake mozzarella is better than no cheese at all. The one exception is - I did get some blue cheese-ish crumbles that I thought were very good; had some in a salad, and on a burger with some bacon and that was tasty. I forget the brand but I could probably find it. (to clarify, I am not vegan, just non-dairy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
