hope some sound good

getting off meat was very difficult for me
I was born in Cali but raised very much in the Southern USA and we pust meat in all vegetables and every member of my family saves and cooks with bacon grease- but it can be done

I've been vegan for a little more than two years, vegetarian six months before that.

http://vegweb.com/ has a lot of good recipes. I believe all of them are vegan, if not things can easily be substituted. They have rating a comments that can help you decide what to make. It's organized pretty well.

Also, Vegan Planet by Robin Robertson is an excellent book. It has ton of recipes along with facts about veganism and vegetarianism.

Ooh! Yum!

I love Zatarain's products and have messed around with a few of their rice dishes, but am glad to have some professional guidance.

Good links! My tastebuds thank you.

Does anyone have a recipe for thai green curry with tofu?

Here's what I do for green curry, and is meat optional. I like to use fried tofu once in a while since it's tastier.

"Green Death curry" is the one dish I make that's too hot for me; it's my rough hack of a fresh Thai-style green curry paste... start with about 20 - 30 green Thai chillies, crush them in a mortar and pestle or chop very fine with garlic, lemon grass, green onion, some cilantro, some lime juice / zest (kaffir lime leaves are better if available), and corriander seeds (underripe if possible). Saute all that good stuff with your meat or tofu of choice and lots of veggies, add a little Thai green curry paste if you have it or some Indian hot lime pickle or both, hit it with a can of coconut milk, black pepper, some Nuoc Mam to salt it, and simmer it down until it thickens. Serve with rice.

Bean Salad(even though hominy is not a bean)
very easy

salt and black pepper to taste
a few stems of cilantro, chopped very fine with tough parts removed and
discarded
1 medium chopped tomato, or 2 plum tomatoes, squeeze out as much
juice as you can


Mix everything together in a bowl and then add Russian dressing to taste- not soupy just coat everything.

Chill for a couple of hours.

but can be doubled or tripled or more
just watch the amount of onion- unless you like lots of onion

I'm a vegatarian what i do is replace all meaty substances with a lack of that same meaty substance trust me it works

[Moral Minority]

I'm pescatarian. Does that count?

[anthrobabe]

It all counts and it's all good!


I must admit I've been backsliding a bit the last few months- some chicken and (I'm really ashamed) a hot dog.

but still over all good!

[Rev. Rowan Redbeard]

I've done vegetarianism and wouldn't mind going back. It is just more convenient to eat meat right now.

However, I have also done raw-foodism, I do want to go back...it's just not convenient right now.

So...raw-foodism 'ghetti.

Take your vegetables, carrots, celery, beets, cucumber, zucchini, what not. Whatever ones you like.

If you have a shredder that will make long, thick shreds, you've got raw-foodism 'ghetti. Otherwise, cafefully play with your kitchen knives until you've got it.

Blender - tomato, fresh herbs. Mix with chunks of soft veggies that you like in sauce. Pour over 'ghetti.

Yum.
