Vegan
Mayan Waffles (vegan)
I have always loved experimenting in the kitchen and I have been a dietetic (health reasons as opposed to moral/ethical) vegan for a little over a year now -- while my diet has expanded to encompass vegetarian choices at present because my budget is somewhat limited while on the job search (^-^) I do plan on following vegan guidelines again as soon as possible, but I figured I'd share the wisdom I've garnered over my year-long journey as the Big V. Today I've decided to share my own recipe for home-made, Mayan Waffles; chocolate with a little kick to get you going in the morning (but don't let me limit you -- some of my best dinners have circled around breakfast foods). The special equipment you'll need for this recipe is a handy waffle iron.Spicy White Bean Chili
Original RecipeI wanted to make white chili and so I spent the other night when I could not sleep Googling recipes, and found several different ones. None of them were quite what I wanted, so I really just used them to get an idea of the proportions for the spices, but I definitely made it my own. None were vegan or made with tofu, and many served 10-15, so I changed that about it as well.Easy Ginger Tofu Bake
This is a quick recipe for a large quantity of tofu so that there are lots of leftovers.
Preheat oven to 200 degrees C/175 degrees F
Here's what you need:
-large glass or similar baking dish (see picture)
-Package of Tofu (I used 2 blocks so that I can have leftovers)
-1/3 Medium onion or more
-1 head of garlic
-1 inch of ginger or more
-1/4 cup soy sauce or tamari
-splash of rice wine vinegar or ume plum vinegar
-sesame oil to cover tofu
-3 stems or so of cilantro/coriander
Optional
-10 cumin seeds
-sprinkle of cumin powder
-2 green (or red) chillies
Chop all ingredients (chop tofu in cubes - see picture), add liquid ingredients and toss together. I usually just mix everything in the dish that I'm using to bake it all in.
Roasted Red Pepper Dip
Roasted Red Pepper Dip - Serves 8 as an appetizer
Original recipe from Whole Foods.
Try this alternative to the usual hummus. Muhammara is a delicious Syrian recipe for a spread of roasted red peppers, toasted walnuts and a touch of spice, offset by pomegranate molasses.
Thai Spring Rolls
In a different group that I started, I posted a recipe for Peanut Rolls. However, this is different as it is vegan and incorportates coconut which is mighty delicious. Hope you all enjoy this one.What is a vegetarian? What is a vegan?
No doubt you have come to this post because you are vegetarian, vegan, or are curious about either of these terms. Like most people, you might be confused about the difference. But you are not alone.Top Brands
