Answer 4

I really like this casserole. You can look it up on http://www.vegweb.com

It's called creamy tofu spinach rice casserole or something like that, but I usually make it with pasta and sometimes broccoli instead of spinach. You just saute some garlic, onions, and mushrooms in olive oil. Add some flour til it's pasty, then add soy milk. Cook it til it's reduced, then add a bunch of nutritional yeast. Mix it with chopped tofu, steamed broccoli or wilted spinach and either cooked pasta or rice. Bake it in the oven for about 25 mins. Really yummy and comforting in the winter.

I also like vegan mac n cheese which is actually really similar to this recipe and veggie burritos with lots of guacamole. And ABJ's--Almond butter and jam sandwiches. And vegan mint chocolate chip ice cream--which I can't find in London. Argh! I'm getting hungry....

Answer 5

Then there's always vegan mac n' cheese. Some recipes I've tried are honestly horrible, but this one actually really good.

Another thing I like to do when in the mood for comfort foods is make a big meal of my fave holiday "side" dishes... Candied yams (no marshmallows of course, but TONS of brown sugar) mashed potatoes with mushroom gravy, and bread stuffing made with no-chicken broth and lots of celery and onions. Funny, but these were the only things I ate at the holiday meals even when I wasn't a vegetarian!! Yummy, I think it's time to go make dinner!

Hope this Helps!

Answer 8

i'm no longer a vegan, yet vegan chocolate chip cookies are insanely undemanding to make. purely seem at any old recipe for chocolate chip cookies, non-vegan ones. some minor substitutions will make an excellent, undemanding version. a million. Use semisweet, non-dairy chocolate chips. (maximum grocery shops have them.) 2. Use vegan non-dairy margarine. (i'm specific, as a vegan of even a pair of weeks, you may come across this, yet maximum medium or greater desirable shops could have it.) 3. extremely of two eggs, use a million/4 cup of all organic, unsweetened applesauce. (Any food market could desire to have this.) 4. Minor replace to the baking soda content cloth, meaning upping it to in keeping with probability a million and a million/4 tsp, to make up for the pureed fruit content cloth.

Answer 9

scallop potato
baked potato with the works
caesar salad

Oh, my favourite is the garlic spread. If you like garlic bread, you should try this:
>Cut off the top bit of a nice garlic bulb to just expose the garlic
>spinkle a pinch of salt onto the garlic
>then pour a bit of olive oil onto the garlic
>Wrap the bottom of the bulb with tin foil
>Put the bulb in the oven until the garlic soften
>The garlilc spread goes well with a nice piece of french toast
