Kitteh- that tostado is inspiring! It's 8am but it still looks damn good.

[meihee]

pasta with onions, greens and fennel


spicy chicken pizza with spinach


tofu scramble with spinach, bacon in homemade bread


shepherd's pie

[ellaminnowpea]

Raw Zucchini pasta w/ pine nut cashew pesto, topped w/ avo & tomato


This is the pesto recipe, only I had no pistachios so I used pine nuts & cashews. It was yummo!

I've always wondered how to make this! Looks amazing... will have to try it now!

spicy chicken pizza with spinach...
tofu scramble with spinach, bacon in homemade bread

Sorry to ask but not real chicken or bacon... right?

[Kitteh]

Thanks Cedar!

It might make a good brunchy meal!

Ta! I don't have a spiral-noodley making thingo so I had to cut the zucchini into strips by hand, haha. Took a bit of time but it was fun chopping it all up and processing the pesto etc

[meihee]

ummm, no of course not. this is a vegan forum right?

[Risker]

^ No offence meant, just that some people have very strange ideas about what vegan means and usually people put the type of faux meat they're using.

I use a potato peeler to cut courgette in to strips like papardelle, works pretty well

[Roxy]

All of that food looks so good!

I think I recognise those chicken strips, Meihee. Are they the "It's All Good" ones?

Thanks! I read that afterwards, so I might try that so I don't need to buy a spiral making thingo

[Roxy]

Kitteh, your food always looks so professional!

They are the presidents choice ones? Are they the same ones??

[Roxy]

Yep, they make the PC ones too. Except they sell for a couple of dollars less with the PC labelling on them! I used those same chicken strips in a salad tonight.

[meihee]

they were surprisingly good. I usually don't like things like that but I had them on the pizza and they were really delish!!

[Roxy]

I haven't tried them on a pizza but that's a great idea!

[meihee]

you are in Van, we should do dinner or something some night!!

[songlife]

my eyes fell out while I was looking at this stuff, seriously... I love you all SO MUCH.

[Kitteh]

Ta, Rox!

Someone thinking chicken and bacon are vegan? If this person exists they need some serious sense knocked into them.

To save a killing spree I urge you to keep away from yahoo answers.

Kitteh and Squig... I dont have a spiral cutter or a food processor! Suppose I could go get them... I'm way terrible at cooking/ preparing food. Maybe a processor would help!

[Kitteh]

Well you don't need a food processor but they make everything so much easier! Otherwise you'll spend a lot of time cutting everything up v.small and mixing well for sauces. You don't need a spiral maker as I used a veggie peeler the second night and it made nice ribbons!

This is the zucchini pasta made with the veggie peeler and some of the pesto blended with a tomato & water


And last night I had an avocado topped with tomato, cucumber & lemon juice

Shiny- I can't see yours.


general tso's tofu




my attempt at pho




I have a couple more but can't upload til later...

[meihee]

how do you make your pho broth?

[RubyDuby]

boiled leaves of 1 leek, 1 whole onion, crushed chunk o' ginger, handful anise in dilluted vegetable stock for an hour plus until it had boiled down and the onion/giner were soft. then removed ginger and leek leaves, broke up the onion, and added soy sauce, sugar, and chinese 5 spice.

funny you should ask... I took pics of the process.




the "meat" was the rest of the leek sauteed in pan with seitan strips, mushrooms, soy sauce and pepper. (also broiled some plain tofu and added it separately)




noodles:




topped with "meat":




pour on broth:




then topped it with fresh bean sprouts, fresh cilantro, a little chili sauce and lots of lime juice. I don't know how authentic it was, but it tasted darn good.

[RubyDuby]

(k, I'm done )

(k, I'm done )

WoahMyGod Ruby, that looks YUM!

[jamboxrock]

Ruby, the pho and everything else looks so good! I've never noticed that frennch bake recipe in VCON, gonna check it out.

creamy greens, veggie burger w/ grilled mushrooms, roasted potatoes



recipe for creamy greens here, they're super good.

roasted veggie quiche that didn't hold apart too well, raw collard & carrot ribbons. gonna make the quiche again soon and perfect it.



pumpkin & carob chip muffins from Vegan Lunchbox, made with butternut squash puree



white bean & leek cassoulet from VCON

[meihee]

WHoa, those baked fries look AMAZING.

I LOVE veggie pho. Here in Vancouver (where I live for now) there are pho places EVERYWHERE and many of them have veggie versions. There is even a place that is strictly veggie. It's so good and cheap. I'm too lazy to get all of the stuff to make it myself...

[cedarblue]

those greens look glossy - did you massage them with oil? makes them soft and chewy!

[RubyDuby]

the pho was kind of a pain, but worth it. If I could get it cheap somewhere I definitely would!

mmm white bean & leek cassoulet. haven't tried that yet. looks yummy.

french bakes are at the beginning of vcon. found it when looking up roasting times and temps for veggies.

[PaintedXSkyline]

Softened Seifun under tomato sauce and fried tofu with mushrooms, onions, and red pepper. (i was fascinated by the fact the the noodles were clear. haha. yummy too.)


For dessert, pineapple, banana, and grapefruit smoothie with coconut shreds.

How do I add an image?
why does it ask me for a URL for a pic??

[Risker]

^ You need to upload your picture to a website like www.imageshack.us , the URL is the web address of your picture, however the imageshack website should give you the code to copy and paste to show your images.

If it's food that looks like sick then don't bother, there's already enough of them.

[vegetarian_cat]

Well, you'll be the judge

Thank you for the answer, i had forgotten about such websites.
i'll go upload some now

How do i actually attach a picture so that it shows in the post?
i gave it the URL but it didn't show it...

[vegetarian_cat]

do you need to be a special member to post a picture ?

[vercimus]

Oh man, I haven't been on here in a good while because of school. Lots of great stuff on here :

I managed to take pictures of a few things I've eaten recently:

Quinoa, veggies, and a purple potato with veganaise and vegan cheese:



A delicious treat:



Some veggie rolls from Mr. Chopsticks:



Almond brownies and cherry brownies! Freakin delish:

When you uploaded to imageshack it should have given you a selection of different codes you can use, one of them called 'code for forums', if you copy and paste that one it should show up.

Otherwise what you need to do is click this button and then put the web address of the image you want to show in the box that appears. Only problem is that the links you've posted are not direct links to the images but links to imageshack web pages that have the images on them.

Rather than http://img5.imageshack.us/my.php?ima...hquicheye1.jpg you need http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/921/a...hquicheye1.jpg

Your food looks fantastic by the way

[Roxy]

OMG Vercimus! Wanna share the rest of that tray of brownies!!

[Poison Ivy]

do you need to be a special member to post a picture ?

No you don't need to be a special member to post a picture, when posting a reply you need to click on the little yellow box with the 'mountains' on (3 to the right of the hyperlink clicky) and input the URL/or the direct link URL in there and voila, you will get pictures in your post!

[Kitteh]

Or type [ img ] before the picture's url and [ /img ] after (without the spaces)
