Go to VegCooking.com. They have GREAT recipes for vegan pancakes and muffins and stuff, and also the greatest meals that no one would ever think of making up. I love that website. It's easy to navigate, the stuff is easy to make, and whoever posts that stuff is a GENIOUS. Hope I helped! =)
Tempe Bacon see recipe at www.p30.com/chris.htm
Slice Tempe 1/8 of an inch thick and as long as you can.
Mix 2 Tablespoons of Maggi sauce with 1 teaspoon of Artificial Smoke. Dip the sliced tempe into the sauce and fry until golden brown.
If you do not like to use Maggi seasoning it can be removed from the recipe. Or substituted with some shitake mushroom powder.
Artificial Smoke is a liquid seasoning that impart the flavor and scent of smoke into food.
The process of making Artifical Smoke consists of capturing the smoke of smoldering wood and then condensing the smoke in condensers. Additional refinement of the condensed smoke may consist of the addition of water, purification or aging in wood barrels.
Thus it is Vegan
Another breakfast idea is vegetable fried rice, I often make this but greatly reduce the amount of rice that is used and bulk up the dish with finely chopped tempe, tofu, and bean sprouts.. Once these three items are chopped and cooked they almost look like rice grains so it is a good way to reduce the amount of carbohydrates in the dish while fooling your eyes into thinking that it is a high carbohydrate dish.
Scrambled tofu. It's addictive.
Look here: http://www.theppk.com/recipes/dbrecipes/...
Serve with hashbrowns or home fries, whole grain toast and fruit. There's a breakfast that'll keep you full for hours. I add salsa to mine for extra addiction-inspiring yumminess.
This last week we've had, cereal w/ soy milk (though normal, not an everyday breakfast in our house), oatmeal, bluberry buckwheat pancakes, chocolate chip whole wheat waffles, this oatmeal porridge (halfway prepared for tomorrow morning), yes fruit smoothies, whole grain, coconut, goji berry muffins, and wanting to make this coming up week an onion, potato, tofu, brown rice, bell peppers camping style skillet thingy!! And some type of fruit added to each breakfast! Still trying my hand at making homemade yogurt, since it's soy version is pretty expensive when only one store in my area sells it! When I do figure it out, that will add on to the breakfasts!!
