Vegan dinner ideas

[Roxy]

p.s. Im a horrible friend and Im currently working on an email to you. Grad school just started and Im so fucking BUSY.

Strawbs said the "f" word. LOL and here I was thinking earthbalance wouldn't melt in her mouth

[herbwormwood]

Which are IMPOSSIBLE to squeeze when they've been refrigerated!!

I stand on them when no one's around to be disgusted. It works quite well!

[foxytina_69]

lol roxy!

tonight i think i might make breakfast for dinner. so, pancakes, hashbrowns, tofu bacon, scrambled tofu, and maybe a slice of tomato.

[foxytina_69]

tonight were having tacos. yummm.

[Smoothie]

i'm going to my mom's place, so might have to be creative (she doesn't have all this nice vegan food around..)

maybe pancakes. i loove pancakes. i have a hardcore hangover. yuk.

[foxytina_69]

tonight i think ill have pasta.

[tofutofu]

i really feel like soya oat porridge for dinner! but thats not really a dinner is it. so i think i will have fried tofu & rice today

[Tigerlily]

You can eat anything you want for dinner. I often have waffles.

[Alex]

Hi everyone, I've not actually posted anything here before but I'd contribute what I'm having for dinner!
I've just popped out to get it: stir-fried vegetables in this amazing sauce but I forget what's in it... . There's a great little vegan/vegetarian restaurant near my office so I often pop there for lunch or dinner... I must start cooking more!

[Roxy]

Hmmmmm not sure. I feel like Veggie Hot Dogs.......but I might have one of those for lunch instead.

[Smoothie]

yesterday dinner: soysauce-marinated fried tofu and mushrooms, salad with Jerusalem Artichoke, red onions and salad onions, baked potatoes, red potatoes, jerusalem artischoke, beets, red onions and carrot. it was a fantastic meal

today: oatmeal, orange juice, coffee, tea.

gonna make some salad soon.

[Tigerlily]

I feel like pizza.

[tofutofu]

Im having gentle lentil curry with brown rice tonight

[PygmyGoat]

Tonight I'm doing a lovely Shepherds Pie with grated Carrot mixed in with the potato, and green Cabbage.

[Roxy]

We went out to a Lebanese restaurant tonight.

I got to try some new foods that I'd never had before including basil & garlic hummus, kidney bean and prune stew, a green bean and carrot dish that was a little bit sweet and vine leaf rolls (but I've had those before).

[veggiejess]

wow this site looks like it has a lot of really good ideas. thanks!

[vegandinner]

Thanks, we would LOVE any feedback you, or anyone else, has!

[veggiejess]

well here's my first bit of feedback....the recipe for the vegan mexican french fry bowl is missing in the ingredient list how much potatoes to use...very important...haha. nothing else really. I do like how you have pictures for each recipe, i consider that a major plus for any recipe.

[vegandinner]

WOW! Good eye, it's fixed now.

[foxytina_69]

on saturday were celebrating halloween kindof. were either going to make tacos, pizza or breakfast for dinner. steev said he wanted pizza, but im not sure yet.

[Mystic]

I tend to eat the same stuff a lot for dinner
- dhal and rice
- pasta with sauce
- pita wraps with curried chickpeas and salad
- tacos with refried beans, corn, tomato, cucumber, guac and salsa
- grilled portabella mushrooms with mashed potatoes and broccoli
- sesame stir-fried veggies & rice (sometimes with tempeh)
- pumpkin soup
- mexican rice & beans
- veggie burgers
- nachos

[herbwormwood]

I tend to eat the same stuff a lot for dinner

Yea, me too with seasonal variations, I eat more heavy food (chillis, stews, soups) in the cold months and light food (stir fries, salads) in the warm months.
I eat curries all year round.
I also have "lazy" meals when I can't be bothered to cook anything much and I'm just cooking for myself.
Lazy meal 1. Baked beans, frozen spinach, fried tomato or mushroom with taifun tofu fillet. All cooked together in a non stick frying pan.
Lazy meal 2. Pasta with Frozen peas, spinach and sweetcorn and Zest Vegan Pesto. Cook pasta and veggies, drain, stir in pesto. Top with vegan cheese or Engevita if required.

sausage casserole with saute potatoes

spicy and nicey - i will post the recipe

[Annie]

Lately it's been either...

-whole wheat pasta with some cooked veggies and tomatoe sauce

-veggie sausage with cooked veggies and brown rice

-Tofu with cooked veggies

I've only been vegan for a lil over a week so I'm kinda stuck on what else I could have for dinner =(

[Pantha]

We have just had mock duck pancakes and a Chinese stirfry. Very tasty.

[foxytina_69]

tonight we ARE having pizza. theyll have taco meat, tomatoes, corn, onion, and maybe olives or pineapple aswell.

[Tigerlily]

That looks awesome...specially because I love love LOVE salsa

[Tigerlily]

I'm a wimp, I only use mild salsa. I always want to try spicy salsa but I'm afraid it will be too spicy.

[Annie]

Yeah I stick with the mild kind too...I feel like I can taste the veggies and tomatoes in it better than with the spicier kind.

I had the most amazing dinner tonight! my suite won a halloween door decorating contest so we all won a free dinner (up to $30 each!) at a local restaurant. one that you wouldnt think to be vegan friendly either.

out of the 3 appetizers our table got the only I could have was chips so I had some of their homemade potato chips.

small side garden salad w. miso dressing on the side (Yum)

spaghetti squash and zucchini!! - i have never seen a restaurant w. spaghettis squash before - it was absolutely amazing and had a lil broccoli and cauliflower.

so so good

[lozza]

tonight me and the boyfriend are making a full on vegetable curry, with this gorgeous mild sauce we bought, poppadoms, homemade naan bread (mmm sooo good), pilau rice and mango chutney!!

for afters, we are going to make vegan pancakes, drizzled with maple syrup! yay i cant wait!

[Tigerlily]

I had falalfel. My aunt made it homemade. Oh man, I'm so stuffed.

[Annie]

I had teriyaki zuchinni, brocoli, carrots, onions, mushrooms and tofu with brown rice.

To be honest...it wasn't very good (I think I added too much teriyaki sauce) and I've come to the conclusion that I only like deep fried tofu =(

[foxytina_69]

tonight were having tacooosssss. yum i love tacos.

[Tigerlily]

I think tomorrow I'm going to make comfort food, such as mashed potatoes, veggie burger, and peas & carrots.

Mmm.

Unless of course, my mom cooks something vegan for the whole family.

[cedarblue]

comfort food for us tonight - cottage pie (shepherds/shepherdess etc..) made with veggie mince, onion, leek and diced carrot with mash on top, with brussell sprouts and crushed parsnips and gravy.

[maya]

Last night I had Tofu lettuce wraps. OMG!!! Yum!!!

[Smoothie]

tonight we're having cabbage-diet soup - my mom was on the cabbage diet when I was a kid, and I LOVED that stuff. and now I found the recipe. YUM

[Mystic]

That is so funny! I like cabbage too, but I have never tried cabbage soup.

How do you make naan at home, can you share the recipe? Please please please! I looooove naan and the store bought packaged kind never tastes the same as the resturaunts do it.

I am not sure what I will be having tonight, i kinda just finished lunch and it is 4 PM. maybe indian - i bought some rogan josh sauce that i figured i could eat with tofu and rice. Or maybe i'll make red lentil dal. mmmm... i love indian food!

[Annie]

I'm currently eating a Thai Kitchen rice noodle bowl thing (I added a few pieces of brocoli to it)

I talked to my campus chef today (they're gonna do all they can to accomidate me which was awesome!) and I'm the only vegan out of a campus of 2000 people!!

[Wildflower]

wow - one out of 2,000! I would think there are at least lots of other vegetarians. Maybe they can just make some of the vegetarian stuff vegan, then everyone would be happy!

[Annie]

Well...lemme rephrase what I said actually. The chef said I was the only person that had talked to him about them accomidating me being a vegan. So I guess there COULD be other vegans out there cooking their own food but I highly doubt it b/c we have to be on the meal plan...

So yeah...most likely 1/2000

I feel so special yet so lonerly o_o

[Tigerlily]

Chips and salsa. I was soo lazy to make anything and my mom didn't make anything. And and and...she just came back from the store with chips and salsa.

[Annie]

Avocado and cucumber sushi with wasabi and soy sauce and seaweed salad.

I was really skeptical about the seaweed salad but it was AWESOME!

[Wishin986]

Wow, that sounds like an awesome dinner.

I've been wary about seaweed salad...I read the ingredients once on a packaged one from Publix, and it said "jellyfish" as one of the ingredients. I was pretty grossed out. Does anyone know if that actually means real jellyfish? And if there is jellyfish in every seaweed salad?

Wow that's weird I've never heard of that before. The kind I had was just seaweed with some kind of small whiteish seeds. But maybe the jellyfish is in the seasoning or "sauce" of some seaweed salads...no idea though =/
