[sponge]

That looks great piggy!

[radioprotector]

My phone's camera managed to suck out all of the colour, but it was good, I swear.
Stuffed mushrooms (soy mince / onions / tomatoes), roast potatoes, and mange tout (sp?) - though I had already eaten some hahah.
My nan cooked it, as she is a legend.

I'm going to have a go at making those peanut butter bar things from a couple pages back tomorrow..we'll just have to see how that goes.

[jamboxrock]

oooh whats the uncheese made from?

It's a version of the colby block cheeze from uncheese cookbook, it's got roasted red peppers, cashews, tahini, spices, agar agar, other stuff.

[RubyDuby]

yum radioprotector! the 2 lonely sugar snap peas made me giggle.

[sponge]

You're right RubyDuby. How observant.

[emzy1985]

Quick veggie sausage and vegetable soup I made for lunch.

[RubyDuby]

*mouth watering*

[bryzee86]

i concur, ruby! off to make some pasta.

[emzy1985]

I don't think I've had "meatballs" since I was vegetarian. Probably because you can't buy pre-made ones here easily. I've got some of that burger mix in the cupboard so I'll get some going in the next few days.

[cedarblue]

asda do frozen meatballs, will check if they are vegan - my family eat them and love them.

[emzy1985]

Cool thanks cedarblue!

Anyhoo here is the yummy bbq tofu, pepper and aubergine marinade and bulgar wheat I made yesterday for dinner!

[Aradia]

I made mine from rehydrated TVP, onion, garlic, flavourings, etc. Wouldn't have them again though as they were far too "meaty" for my taste .. they were pretty dense.

[BlackCats]

That looks really good Emzy.

[cedarblue]

yes, that DOES look tasty emzy!

p.s. the asda meatballs are not vegan just veggie

[vava]

I made these for the first time today yum - I had never heard of ackee till I became vegan - so much for "what do you eat", eh? Answer loadsa stuff omnis have never even heard of!

Ackee quiche! - I will have one of these this evening with a huge salad but they would go just as well with mash and beans and I think would be yummy with brown sauce or tomato ketchup. The original recipe is for one large quiche but I didn't have the right size quiche pan so I made 4 littlies!

[BlackCats]

My friend raves about ackee, her family are West Indian and I think it's quite a common dish there.
It looks lovely, but what does it actually taste of?

[vava]

Ackee is a west indian favourite it looks and feels like egg yolks and even tastes a bit eggy strange but I think this is why it works so well in quiche!

[Aradia]

oh yes please!!!! (where is the *drool* smilie when you need one?)

[Roxy]

Tofurky sausages, roasted herb potatos and carrots, cauliflower, creamed corn, gravy.



Tuscan risotto with veggie chicken & vegan parm, roasted herb carrots, roasted herb & garlic peppers, mixed leaves with walnuts & Santa Fe dressing.



Tuscan risotto, faux chicken breast with dijon marinade, red cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, gravy.

[Cup'O'Tea]

Gardein dijon 'chicken'?

Isn't it wonderful?

[Poison Ivy]

Yum! That all looks absolutely lovely Roxy....and I really, really like your plates too!!

[JC]

can you get creamed corn in the uk?

[RubyDuby]

oooh vava, that looks really good!

roxy, i want one of each for dinner please!

(I just discovered the 'go to last post' button and keep missing entire pages!! sorry bout that!)

[emzy1985]

can you get creamed corn in the uk?

I've asked that question myself - peaople say you can but I've never found it!

This the chicken patty, curlykale, steamed brocolli and mixed wholegrain rice and red lentils, served with soy sauce - I had last night for dinner!

This my loaded veggie burger with avocado, red onion and tomato on a wholegrain bun. Large potato salad and lots of alfala sprouts

This my awesome porridge breakfast!

[Roxy]

Thanks Ivy and Ruby

Cup o Tea - yes that's the one! I love their whole range of faux meats They're quite expensive though, so I only buy them when they're on sale.

[pavotrouge]

aaaw such amazing food everybody!

I've been lazy the last week but have projects in mind for the weekend

who needs creamed corn, anyway?

[JC]

I do if it tastes as good as it sounds!!!

[pavotrouge]

ok I've found a food I can't stand to post in the yukky vegan eats thread. I can't stand creamed corn!

[Tigerlily]

I hate this thread.



Stop making me hungry.

[Aradia]

can you get creamed corn in the uk?

Just blitz a can of corn with a hand blender.

[Casper]

That would not work, but you could get a recipe and make your own.

[Poison Ivy]

Looking at a few recipes for it, it seems that creamed corn is basically a bechamel sauce (but made with cream) with corn added to it....that sounds easy enough to veganise

[Tigerlily]

Hmm not really. Canned creamed corn is just corn, sugar, and maybe water.

[sponge]

That looks great roxy and emzy.

[Casper]

My can of creamed corn says, Whole kernal Corn , Water, sugar, corn starch and salt. (A little white pepper might be nice too.) A recipe would give you the correct amounts, which would be nice.

[cedarblue]

i've noticed a lot of people make quite thick gravy - i like mine more runny and liquid.

[pavotrouge]

a lot better than creamed corn, my attempt at the raspberry-chocolate chip blondies from VWAV:

[bryzee86]

ooh i was intrigued by that very same recipe yesterday. Might have to make it next week.

[pavotrouge]

they are divine!

look, I didn't totally waste the day, I made sausages!

[sponge]

This may not look "good" but trust me. It is. It's a pasty pie. (lazy man's version of a pasty) It's made with gimme lean fake ground beef, onions, potatoes, seasonings and some vegan brown gravy all cooked in a pie crust. I eat it smothered in brown gravy. The next day, when it's cold, I eat it smothered in ketchup.

[RubyDuby]

looks good to me. mmmm meet pie w gravy...

[emzy1985]

Did someone say ketchup?

Here's a picture of the wholemeal blueberry pancakes I made the other day!

[RubyDuby]

omy yum.

[pavotrouge]

yum, pie!

Emzy, where do you get strawberries from in February?

[Aradia]

Pavotrouge - those sausages look yum! Recipe please!!

And Sponge - that pie!!!! Do you think I could make it with TVP? And what pastry do you use? I'm soooo making it!

Here's stuffed pepper, pepper sauce and broccoli

[bryzee86]

Big Pepper!

[pavotrouge]

mmmh peppers... why must the organic ones cost a fortune?

the sausage recipe is from http://www.everydaydish.tv/ the second last one on the list, though all recipes from that site are awesome (just making the mocha cake!).

[Aradia]

Bah! I haven't got any gluten flour

Maybe I'll make a cake instead.

Although I've been super-healthy all week.
