Q&A: Any ideas for tasty vegan foods that non-vegans would enjoy as well?

Posted on November 30, 2011 by HealthyCook| 6 Comments

Question by Lovey: Any ideas for tasty vegan foods that non-vegans would enjoy as well?
We are having a birthday party for a vegan, so obviously we want to serve vegan foods for her. What are some good meat free/dairy free foods that non-vegans will appreciate as much as vegans will? We already have a recipe for chocolate cupcakes, but we still need ideas for the appetizers and etrees.

Best answer:

Answer by geflowerchild
I have found that you can substitute many things in a recipe and make it vegan. I recently made vegan banana bread. I just substituted cornstarch and lemon juice for the egg, and agave nectar for the honey. I would try just thinking of all the foods you want to serve, vegan or not, and try to convert them to their vegan alternative. That way you can have your cake and eat it too!

What do you think? Answer below!

What vegan recipe would you recommend to help celebrate my 15 year old son’s birthday?

Posted on November 27, 2011 by HealthyCook| 5 Comments

Question by cassandra: What vegan recipe would you recommend to help celebrate my 15 year old son’s birthday?
He is newly vegetarian, and his “girl friend” is vegan. I know he’d be thrilled if I presented a special meal honoring her choice.

He wants to have a meal with her and watch a movie on our tv with her. That movie is about Palestine, if that helps inspire a theme, but that’s not a necessary theme.

What would you recommend? Please explain techniques/ingredients that might not be readily familiar to a middle aged American.

Thanks so much for your thoughtful replies.

Best answer:

Answer by Rika
You can make pasta with tomato sauce and veggies like onions, spinach, zucchini, bell peppers, mushrooms and other veggies of your choice.

Or you can also make some good veggie sandwich .

Q&A: Does anyone have a vegan parmesean cheese recipe?

Posted on November 25, 2011 by HealthyCook| 1 Comment

Question by carriezmail@sbcglobal.net: Does anyone have a vegan parmesean cheese recipe?
I found a great vegan parm substitute recipe on a website called the vivacious vegan, I remember it was made with raw cashews and a mixure of seasonings like season salt, garlic and onion powder and probably nutritional yeast flakes. Now I can’t get back to the site and I can’t remember all of the ingredients or the portions. If anyone has this recipe, please share it with me.
