Vegetarian
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.Quinoa and Sweet Potato Salad

I made this delicious version over the weekend--and I didn't even tell my husband it was healthy or on the vegetarian website or I knew he probably wouldn't eat it. ;-) French Onion Soup - Serves 6 Original recipe from Vegetarian Times Traditional French onion soup can come in as high as 39 grams of fat per serving. Ours has just 10.5 and tastes amazing.Vegemite UPDATE and a recipe!
Usually I don't like to get too personal in my groups, but sometimes I think maybe I should--so this isn't such a sterile and dry recipe submission group.
For those of you who don't know, I'm in the process of becoming vegetarian. It's not because of ethical reasons, more on the health aspect, as well as the weight loss benefits (or that is what I've been told).

amazon.comI love the Essential Kitchen series. They always have a well organized cookbook with lovely pictures. I like asian foods.Coconut Curry Tofu and Rice Noodle Bowl
I'm trying to eat more healthy and incorporate tofu into my meals. Lately I have been trying to use more coconut in my meals as well, even though it's not necessarily the most healthy item to include. And being the "bad" person I am, I feel that since I am using tofu I should be able to use coconut and even it out.Top Brands
