Rules of Veggit

Who else loves cauliflower ?

Honestly I just want a few easy recipes to get me through lunch, I don't want to have to buy a million different things and make ridiculous sauces and spend a load of money and devote my entire fucking life to making food, wasting loads in process. I'm one guy. I have barely enough time to myself as it is, I dont need a full time job preparing something that doesn't even taste good Jesus christ. Do the people that come up with recipes online actually use them or is it just photogenic feel good bs for clicks?

I've become concerned due to the use of roundup being used on most soy. If there's any correction or info that might help reassure me on this, I'm all ears. But otherwise for variety anyway, what are some other meat alternatives that are not soy? I like the convenience of the fake meat brands. impossible, beyond, gardein, etc. anything else you guys find is a good substitute and has a good consistency, texture and taste? I like mushrooms for the most part, for some reason I forget to incorporate them in my diet more when I go to the store. And I forage for other edible mushrooms when the weathers right, but obviously that's not year round (at least where I live.) thanks <3

My pregnant wife is craving a Slim Jim, I am curious if anyone’s had a good vegetarian or vegan slim jim-like, oily, spicy, snappy meatless meat stick? I see a few offerings from a few brands online, hoping some folks have tried them. Thank you!

These sausages are one of my favorites to use in recipes, and they've become harder and harder to find over the past 5 years. My Kroger right down the street used to have them pretty regularly, and so did Publix, but now the ONLY place to find them nearby is Sprouts... and that's very hit and miss. They are out of stock as often as they're in. So my question is, are there any readily-available alternatives that taste as good (or better)? I'm looking specifically for Italian style, NOT bratwurst or breakfast style.

Hi. I am fairly a new vegetarian and I am also trying to lose weight, which I mention only because it limits a bit the overall recipes. I am very much trying to mix and match what I eat in a week, not to repeat protein sources, side dishes or even spice palates too much. This is hard to achieve and I understand I am making things harder on myself.

Where tofu and meat alternatives are easy to work into 'normal' meals where you just substitue, beans are not so easy for me. Lentils have their dal recipes, Bolognese sauces, and the usuals rice combo, soup additions, salads,... If I don't include chickpeas into beans, which can easily be made into hummus, chan masalas or air fried for adding into any of salad/soup/ meal, it seams to me that beans are lacking recipe variety. Yes I know about bean dips, bean burgers (though I reserve for patties more of the red beats/veggies + oats variants and the serving is bread or potatoes), then you have the chilli sin carne (red sauce), toscana or other kind of white bean soups, other soup variants (black bean, pesto rice,..) the obligatory salads which are not really my winter favorites, baked beans (oil and or red sauce) or the usual bean and rice combo, that doesn't fit too well into my meal plan some days (like I would much rather have kimchi fried rice than rice and beans) I am sort of stumped on other choices. Some pasta dishes where beans are the second though, a lot of tortilla/tacos with bean additions, sure, but what else is there. Basically I am looking for options where you don't add too many carbs into the meal but focus on the protein, in this case, the beans and maybe even make more meals out of it than one. Maybe I do complicate it too much though .

I was frantically searching and came across many mixed messages regarding the vegetarian aspect of Buldak noodles. I chose to email Samyang Foods America and this is what I got, hope this can help everyone out, who just like I, was unsure! Doesn’t get more confirmed than this. Can’t wait to try them for the first time :)

So being a future college student, I've decided to get into fixing up instant ramen. Do you know of any vegtairian ramen brands? The easier to find in US grocery stores the better. I live in New York City right now, but college will be in a college town in PA. (pop. about 75000) I could experiment with more niche stuff in nyc, but in college, no. Feel free to put in suggestions!

Is there a cheaper source for mushrooms (even just baby bellas) that yall recommend? I've been going through about 48oz a week and it'd be nice to save a little. I haven't tried frozen.

I need advice please! I was invited to dinner last week at an acquaintance's house and I'm not sure if they know if I'm vegetarian or not. So I sent an email a few days ago saying I'm a vegetarian and offering to bring a hearty side dish. I haven't heard back and the dinner is tonight! So now I'm anxiety stewing about if I bring a dish or not. Ideally she would have responded "don't bring anything I've got it covered" or "yes please, we're having chicken" so I could bring something that paired with the main dish. I don't know what to do and her email is the only contact info I have for her.

EDIT: It all worked out! I brought fancy crackers, brie and a nice block of cheddar. She had prepared a butternut squash lasagna and a really good green salad with walnuts, goat cheese and apple. Thank you again everyone for chiming in!

Does anybody know what happened to Silk Chocolate Almond Milk? It's vanished from every store near me with no reason that I've been able to find. What is "Big Almond" hiding?

When I cook for myself, I sometimes don’t feel full after a meal. What are your favorite, most filling, vegetarian food items ? Open to any suggestions, but vegetables are especially welcomed 🥰

EDIT : can’t answer to everyone but thank you for your suggestions, very grateful! 😊

Hello my fellow veggie eaters, question for those on this thread that are vegetarian or vegan. When you’re not in a city or area with lots of veggie options, how do you get your protein when you travel? My wife and I eat tofu or some other protein daily, and it keeps me full and from always being hungry. When we’re traveling in though, it’s a different story but I want to make sure I still get enough protein to keep me full.

This was insanely good and took 15 minutes to make. Absolutely going in the rotation!

I don't know why it's only popular for vegans, it's so good, and not just a cheese alternative. I've combined it with cheese with in pasta and it's so yummy. Plus, it's my favorite popcorn seasoning. It's also healthier than cheese if that's a concern for someone. I was vegan for two years, but have been eating nutritional yeast for over 10 years, and it's still my main source of B12. There are a lot of foods people don't explore that are often mostly eaten by vegans, and I think that's unfortunate.

Coconut Curry Lentil Soup Serves 6 2 T good quality olive oil 1 onion, diced 4 garlic cloves, finely minced 1 Tablespoon fresh ginger, finely minced 1 1/2 T curry powder 1 cinnamon stick, or 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon 3 cups sweet potatoes, peeled & cubed 1 1/2 cups green lentils 4 cups vegetable broth 1 can coconut milk (I used light) 4 cups kale, ribs removed & torn into bite sized pieces 1/2 lemon, juiced Salt and pepper

Sauté onion in oil in a heavy bottom pot over medium heat until translucent. Add garlic, ginger, curry powder, cinnamon & sauté for a minute or two until fragrant. Add sweet potatoes, lentils, vegetable broth, coconut milk and mix well. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium low and simmer for 25-30 minutes until lentils are tender, stirring occasionally. If it seems too thick for your liking, add an additional 1/2-1 cup broth. Stir in kale and lemon juice, season with salt and pepper if needed and serve!

Amy's keeps getting more expensive and worse quality. Most recently, their soups have become more watery and flavorless. What have you noticed has gotten worse?

What do you make when you want to flex your vegetarian cooking? I am new to this and just getting my weeknight meals in order and want to also plan something like a fancy dinner. My current plan is a mushroom risotto, asparagus and then something like an eggplant dish or falafel that keeps the old "meat"/vegetable/carb plate.

What is your special occasion vegetarian meal to cook?

I'm making pork carnitas for my family tonight. I have dry soy curls and frozen steak tips. Which would be best for vegetarian carnitas?

Now I'm going to have to learn to make it at home... it'll probably be good, but it's not the same as being able to order it at a restaurant with friends. Whyyy.

ETA: just saw the other post from a few days ago! I guess I'm late to the party. I just discovered this the other day when my partner and I were having a munchies-induced fantasy about going there for the Bloomin' Onion the next day.

Edit 2 (electric boogaloo): I linked the wrong pamphlet, fixed it now!

Hear me out! If you like lemony dishes, try this recipe and you’ll thank me eternally. I added cashews and nutritional yeast for some extra protein.

I've lost my soup mojo and am looking to follow a new recipe/tutorial to shake things up. Specifically, I want a broth-based soup that starts with seitan and beans, is jam-packed with vegetables, that i can add greens and carbs to. I'd love a "formula" for this kind of soup with some recommended variations for different regional cuisines. It seems like something Deborah Madison would have written, but I haven't found it if she did.

Please recommend something like the soup formula I'm describing if you know of one? And if that doesnt exist, share your favorite version of such a soup and I'll try them all. Thanks!
