I bought a vegan cook book a few weeks ago and have loved everything coming out of it!
I am not a vegetarian, but I enjoy the concepts that the dishes are based around. Most of them offer healthier alternatives to regular meat dishes, even if you sub the tofu for meat, or sub the vegan milk/cheese with dairy.
I cooked a leek and potato soup last night that Nick is loving.. since he woke up with a cold this morning. A woman's intuition.... Though, I accidentally mixed up the recipe with another and ended up putting tofu in it where it did not belong - but it ended up good anyways
A few nights ago I made an pasta sauce that included silken tofu, sun dried tomatoes, garlic, a ton of basil, salt and veggies. I added some skim milk because it was quite thick. Nick absolutely LOVED it.. and I did too!
I am just so excited to have discovered this book. I can't wait to make more from it! Every meal this week is planned around it. And, for those of us on a budget, tofu is a cheaper substitute for meat if you know how to make it a complete meal (grains, veggies, etc).
So, I am challenging everyone to post their best vegan recipe(s), or a recipe that can be converted to vegan or to a meat dish easily (if you know how with your particular recipe).
Lets hear them recipes!
