What is your favorite vegan/vegitarian meal?!
for breakfast, lunch, and dinner!. : )Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
breakfast: i eat soy yogurt daily now (i love it!) and i usually eat something else with it!.!.!.!.fruit, granola, etc!. but my FAVORITE is french toast with a rasperry almond sauce that my husband and i make together =)
lunch: a big salad!.!.!.!.nothing beats a good salad and lots of water sometimes!.
dinner: coconut curry stir fry w/ veggies and tofu =)
oh, but veggie chili is high on the list, too!!
Kirbyish: no problem =) veggie chili is the best!! ours is vegan too, even though i'm a vegetarian and my husband is an omni!. too bad it's too hot for chili right now =(
i don't have a lot of time to cook, so we just use a mix for our chili that comes in a powder form at the grocery store!.!.!.!.!.it's just a blend of spices and such!. then we add cans of kidney beans, chopped peppers and onions, and canned diced tomatoes (sometimes tomato sauce, too) until we get it as thick as we want it!. you could even add some of the faux ground beef crumbles if you want it to seem more like actual chili!. a lot of the store mixes are vegan or vegetarian, just take a look at the ingredients!. we make ours really thick and then scoop it with tortilla chips!.!.!.yum =)
EDIT: in case you want a vegan chili fix without having to go through all the prep work, i just ate amy's organic spicy chili for lunch and it was DELICIOUS!. it was next to the other canned chilis in my store, and it's amy's so of course it's a little pricey but really good!. it's vegan, too =)Www@FoodAQ@Com

Hot oatmeal smothered with strawberries or bananas and raisins with fresh juice and coffee for breakfast!.
Since I'm a chicken/fish vegetarian I like lots of vegetables with plenty of color, steamed if possible to keep in the nutrients and the taste with oven baked chicken or fish for lunch!.
Then for dinner I like Pene Ziti with hot marinara mushroom sauce smothered with lots of Parmigiana and Romano cheese!. Mama mia that's good!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Whole Foods vegan chocolate oatmeal chunk cookies don't count as a meal, do they!? :'(
I don't usually eat breakfast (a cup of coffee is good enough for me), but if I'm feelin' fancy, I'll have a bagel!. Sometimes even with hummus!. Oh, and you can't go wrong with Cheerios!.
I hate a heavy lunch, so I usually get a salad or a wrap of some sort!.
Dinner is my favorite!. I'm all about pasta, stir fry, and rice & beans combos!. I usually just wing it when I'm cooking!. D:
edit: thank you, person above me, for reminding me of my love for vegan chili!! It takes all day to make, but it's worth it!. nom nom nom!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Oh my gosh! Vegan chili is SO EASY! It's absurd!. Just make your favorite chili without meat!.
I don't even use a recipe!. I generally do something like this:
Heat some soy sauce and olive oil in a big pot!.
Toss in some chopped onions, garlic, and diced chilis!. Stir!. Toss in some bell peppers!.
Put in any spices that I want!.
Add canned beans!. (Add fake meat here if you want it!.)
Pour in a few cans of chopped and/or pureed tomatoes!.
Put in some tomato paste if you want!.
It's not authentic, but it's a pretty good substitute!.
PS- This is great with lots of Tabasco sauce in it!. I eat mine with diced red onions and cheddar!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
