Make a good curry.
Those are easily vegan friendly, and good curries can be amazing.
---

Hmmm well.

You could do garlic and onion string beans (much better with pork as well, but...not vegan).

A nice pot of yummy baked beens.

Some delicious home made mashed potatoes (If cheese is allowed, I have a great recipe for backed potato pancakes...it's like potato lasagna (no sauce, just cheese and breadcrumbs...and potatoes hehe).

Brussle sprouts roasted with a bit of oil and spices.

Maybe a really yummy Brocolli based soup as well (mushrooms/onions/carrots/spices + veggie broth + blended brocolli....some like cheese as well if it's allowed (I don't).)

Sadly most of my delicious dishes involve meet, so I can't help that much.

Cheese that comes from animal milk is not vegan.

Though you can find plenty of vegan cheese made from plants.

I like the curry idea but I'm still making multiple dishes so I'll need more ideas

I appreciate the input thus far

Honestly, just throwing together a mixed pile of veggies can make some easy delicious, easy food.

Potatoes, carrots, cucumber, onions, and maybe some mushrooms. Cook it in some olive oil, throw in salt and pepper, some chili peppers, and whatever else you're interested in.

I don't mean to be presumptuous, but I think just trying would matter most of all.

Don't enable them.

Encourage them to adopt a healthy diet.

Just a heads up about curry, if you aren't prepared for spicy foods, you will be absolutely blown away by the spiceyness if you go for more traditional curry pastes.

Here's a Pinterest board of vegan recipes I've mostly tested: https://pin.it/d7ay447xues4jb

Here's a Pinterest board of results I've tried in a pressure cooker. They can all be done on the stove as well. https://pin.it/pq44uguvzfsz5l

Curries really are easy. And there's a lot of variety of spices.

Chili is an easy food for batch cooking

I was making my partner Thai green curry for the first time and I used probably 10x the paste I should have

It was a Thai brand with an English translation sticker

I think my stomach still hurts weeks later



A little of the good paste goes a long way

Like the plant based diets doctors advocate for of course!

Haha that was pinned when I didn't have a kitchen and only had my instant pot

The popcorn is ok. Stovetop works better

Just use your damn microwave like the rest of us!
That's just being fancy for the sake of being fancy.

Bagged microwave popcorn is yuck (and often not vegan)

I was all bougie and bought bags of kettle corn or lightly salted already popped corn

Same

I think Indian food as a whole is the only way I would stay sane if someone held a gun to my head and made me go vegan. So much good stuff where you don't miss the meat at all.

In general dishes with beans, mushrooms, chickpeas, lentils, potatoes, etc.

All about using spices correctly to make stuff enticing. :P

Avocados are the best thing in the world

Whatever you do, use those

Apparently eggplants are also pretty decent if you use them right.
From what I understand they're not a powerful taste though.

If you're a good cook you never have to worry about a lack of good vegan food.

If you're not a good cook... Well, it would be way harder

I managed to do it for over 8 months without a functioning kitchen. Now I'm cooking all the delicious things

You mean B12? Something that's not actually naturally in animal products, and it's produced by bacteria (that live on plants)

Or what else?

oxymoron

Hilarious how some folks get instantly triggered when theyre reminded that some people dont eat meat

I see that happen far less than Ive seen people get hostile over people eating vegetarian or vegan diets

People always want to go after groups that they deem the other

Not a recipe I'm recommending, but go to Taco Bell and order the 7-layer burrito without sour cream or cheese, and add potatos.

That's a great way to get some vegan fast food.
---

Quinoa lightly roasted in olive oil, with cumin, paprika, turmeric and coriander. Add red bell pepper, serrano pepper, chopped onion and garlic. Stir and saute until soft. Add vegetable broth, frozen corn and simmer. When most of the liquid is gone, add cooked black beans and sunflower seeds.

Serve hot or cold.

I'll usually top it with grilled chicken.

I like to get a bean and rice burrito with pico instead of cheese and add potatoes

Not vegan because of the cross contamination.

Yes it is. The actual meal is vegan.

https://www.tacobell.com/how-to-eat-vegan

This isn't like celiac

They're shouldn't be any cross contamination with how that food is prepared either.

This line of thought extended would suggest no food at any restaurant serving animal products could ever be vegan

Further, any food served at any store with animal products

The biggest animal advocacy groups and vegan groups recommend stuff like taco Bell for those looking for easy transition food

Yeah it says your food will come in contact with tons of animal products like I said.

k.

if you think no meat "contamination" will happen at taco bell... (gloves, where it's prepped, pieces falling in other containers before being taken out, etc.)

...then i would like to sell you some prime real estate on mars

I'm not surprised that vegans recommend taco bell. Dietary and nutritionally, they are both terrible.

While I can't defend taco bell to any real degree, you're very much wrong about the healthiness of plant based diets. For humans and the planet.

While I won't defend carnivorous or plant based diets, I went vegan for the most part, 99%, because of the documentaries I'd watch (probably at least 30) that show what happens in the meat and dairy industries.

There is no possible way to meet the profit margins that they do without a severe cut in health standards. If I eat ANY meat products, its coming from somewhere as local and "organic" as possible. I cut dairy out completely for different reasons entirely.

But yeah, the meat *industry* is the reason I went plant based. My mental health and physical system feel cleaner in ways I never would have imagined until I tried it for years. Makes a difference.

I won't argue with people about what works best, but it's definitely worked for me.

Oh yeah my vegan friend eats taco Bell since she can just get beans and veggies

But she says she can make anything work at any other restaurants

Restaurants are super accommodating nowadays around me at least

My wife heard about some burger restaurant but she seemed kind of bummed because she thought they wouldnt have anything for me to eat there, but when I looked up their menu they had an entire vegan section
