Reply #10: Well, here's what we're having tonight, but

[yewberry]

...there's not really a main course.

Spinach salad with (seedless) red grapes, walnuts & diced smoked tofu with raspberry vin. (Don't make this with plain tofu!!) Also sweet potato fries (actually baked, skin-on, SO good for you) with chipotle aioli (actually made from vegenaise.)


Last night we had hummus & baba ghanouj (homemade is the way to go--if you want recipes, let me know) with baked pita chips & lots of vegetables.

You can make BLTs--just use vegenaise or some vegan sub, and fake bacon. (Morningstar breakfast strips are vegetarian, tempeh strips are vegan.) Also mock tuna (made of crushed garbanzos with chopped green onion & a little dry mustard with mayo sub.)

The easiest "make-everyone-happy" meal is something like tostadas--just fry up the tortillas and serve with an assortment of stuff--lettuce, tomato, jalapenos, salsa, beans, rice, whatever dairy & meat your family likes. Let them build their own.

Next time your son is home, c'mon over to the veg*n group and check out the recipe thread. There are both vegetarian and vegan recipes there, actually, so why wait?
