Hi all! Checked a few keywords and didn't see it anywhere, sorry if this is a repeat question.

Any dog owners out there who have found a vegan alternative for tough longer lasting chews, like yak chews? I have five dogs, and while they love their vegan chews in general, the ones we make tend to be chewier and only last a few minutes, tops. We also use Nylabones for big chews that will last for years.

However, I'm still having trouble finding a good alternative something that is tough enough to last a few hours, but more enticing than their Nylabones. (Something that will keep them occupied while I'm working from home or out for a few hours.) They adore Himalayan yak chews, which are perfect for this niche...but, of course, dairy.

Hoping to find a vegan alternative - DIY/homemade options are definitely preferred, but I'd be open to something I can buy, too!

Thanks in advance for your help!

This includes waffles and pancakes and stuff. Just wondering, as my mom is thinking about not buying eggs anymore but I want to let her know what she can and can't use replacement eggs for

This is regarding cheap substitutes, since things like just egg are so expensive (so apple sauce and flax eggs for example)

Recipe

1. Saute garlic and onions with butter in a pan.
2. Add diced yellow pumpkin and few cashews.
3. Cook till pumpkins are soft.
4. Blend everything into a smooth puree.
5. Add the puree into the same pan and adjust consistency by adding water.
6. Season with salt and black pepper powder, chilli flakes(optional)
7. Top with toasted pumpkin seeds and burnt garlic butter.

Sooo I wanna try to learn to make vegan recipes, I usually do a bowl with a lot of veggies and sometimes rice or riced cauliflower, I'm not 100% and maybe will try to be vegetarian first as I'm indian, and do eat a lot of vegetarian food, but I still sadly consume chicken mostly.

What's something I can whip up fast ? And good ways to cook or prep tofu ? I love tofu actually and just been eating it out the packet with some seasonings and sauce lol

Sorry if against the rules, thanks

I'm new to tempeh and am finally willing to try it. I see a bunch of different kinds of Lightife's brand, Trader Joe's has one and recently found Soyboy has two kinds. Is there one that everyone prefers over others? Is there a kind that is terrible and I shouldn't go near? I'm scared of it wnought as it is lol

Tried to make the liv b version and it was kind of like bread or a pancake.

After much trial and error, I've created this Vegan Saag Paneer recipe, and it's perfected (for me at least). Try it!

Hello Vegan Community!

I'm working as a Craftee on an undergrad thesis short film set in three weeks, and am looking for any ideas of Vegan meals I can make for a group that will vary 20 to 50 people.

Any Ideas Wanted!!!

Made tofu and trying to think of what to do with the okara. I usually throw it in a baked good, but ive got so much bread and goodies right now. I want to try a ricotta recipe but im a little wary that it might not be so great.

Any ideas welcome!

Similar to the black bean fudge I posted but this version is with chickpeas. RECIPE: https://www.asweetalternative.com/blog/chickpea-fudge
