My Favorite Vegan RecipesSince I have been a non meat-eater for so many years, I have compiled thousands of vegan recipes that I love. I was a vegetarian in college, so most of them are cheap recipes as well. When I was still eating dairy products, I would add cheese or fish to some of them, but I found that it has been simple to adapt those great recipes to my new diet.
I love to cook and don't mind experimenting with vegan recipes that look long and complicated, but on a daily basis I prefer simple, quick, healthful meals. I am giving you mostly my easy vegan recipes. If one of the recipes has more steps and ingredients, I will alert you.
While most bread is vegan, sometimes it can be harder to find recipes for the sweeter breads. There are an assortment of easy vegan bread recipes. I love banana bread, pumpkin bread, breads with nuts, pizza, muffins, and naan. Are you hosting a party and need some ideas for alternatives to salsa and chips? There are many vegan recipes for dips and appetizers. I love hummus and have experimented with adding different ingredients like you see in grocery stores. This page is great for party planning. I've mentioned before that vegans hate being stuck with the stereotype that all we eat is lettuce. There are some amazing salads out there that have nothing to do with the normal iceberg lettuce and carrot shavings. ________________________________________________________________
Only Vegan Bytes members get extra recipes that aren't listed on this site, along with other great updates! ________________________________________________________________ Now back to the recipes... If you have grown tired of the same old vegetables, you will find the page on vegan vegetable recipes. There are so many more vegetables out there to cook with, and in many different styles. Sometimes it can be hard to figure out what to do with all the healthful grains like quinoa, oats, millet, barley, and bulgur. Here are some easy vegan recipes for all those grains. In the summer one of my favorites is tabouli salad, and we also love to mix grains with beets and make a pretty pink dish. Sometimes the grain recipes overlap with these pasta recipes. Just remember, pasta does count as a grain. To make it healthy, just make sure the first ingredients is "whole," and there aren't a ton of extra ingredients you can't pronounce. Beans, beans, they're good for your heart... And they're so easy to cook as well. Beans have always been a staple in my diet, especially because they are cheap to buy and easy to cook. Here are some great recipes for different beans cooked many different ways. I show my easy 10 minute dishes as well as some great bean recipes I've picked up over the years. Have you recently moved to a vegan diet and miss eating decadent chocolate cake and cookies? You don't have to crave them anymore. I have several recipes for delicious desserts. One of the best is a great chocolate cake I made for my boyfriend's birthday. Speaking of whom... we know how he loves ice cream. There's nothing quite like making your own homemade ice cream, and these recipes are non-dairy and full-flavor! Are you raising children on a vegetarian, vegan, or plant-based diet? I love when parents expose their children to a variety of foods at young ages because it broadens their tastes for the rest of their lives. All of the recipes I have in this section can be fed to children, and any exceptions are specified, however, if you have a picky eater or are just looking for some great
kid-friendly dishes, this page is for you.
Here's a quick guide to milk and egg substitutes.
