[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


oh yeah, i have that one too. it's solid, but i mostly focus on main courses and it only has like a dozen or so?

i loved their 'normal' cookbook back when i was an omnivore. it has relatively simple recipes that use relatively common ingredients (no going to the back of the Asian market for that one thing) and it explains stuff well.

This is my favorite cookbook, granted it has a similar problem I find with most cookbooks which is Obscure Ingredient Syndrome

The heat is out rn and I didn't want to stand around in the cold too much to make an elaborate meal so probably something quick and simple

broccoli was on sale and was 1/2 the cost of cauliflower, so i made my rice n beans recipe with that instead. i love broccoli, but it was a bit too 'strong' of a taste, won't do again. gonna try a scrambled block of tofu next time, i think.

adding the tofu worked out nicely. $2.49 for a block and all I did was press it, then dropped it into the skillet along with the onion + pepper, breaking it up into crumbles with a spoon. it absorbed the spices nicely and makes the meal a bit more filling. will probably continue to do this.

A family member sent me these this week.

Milkless bar: same as a plain Hershey's bar, would be great on s'mores.

Choco No No's: their version of M&Ms but they're huge. Each one is like twice the size of an M&Ms. They're not bad but I didn't really like them.

Pea Not Cups: these were good but sunflower seed butter just can't compare to peanut butter.

The green package was like a Snickers bar without the peanuts, which oddly enough didn't hinder it very much. Very good, probably my favorite out of all of these. This one and the milkless bar are (to the best of my recollection after 5+ years) most like their original counterpart.

I haven't seen the Reese's PB cups but they are getting a national rollout this spring.

tbh I think vegan cheese is just an acquired taste. Some people like certain brands, other people seem to think all of it is horrible.

I'd give Miyokos.Creamery a try, but if you don't like them then you probably just don't like vegan cheese period.

I just moved to the Atlanta area and I tried Slutty Vegan for the first time last night. Holy shit it was so good. Not good for vegan food, just amazingly good while also being vegan. I got the cheese steak with Skinny Dippers, which is their fried pickles.

I'm not sure if it's the same one you went to but nearby Slutty Vegan (to me) is another Vegetarian place called "VeGreen" and their Thai basil fried rice is to die for.

I had vegan bacon on my potatoes yesterday. Doesn't hold a candle to actual bacon but it's inoffensive as far as taste goes.

Just ate vegan burgers with vegan cheese for lunch. One the one hand it's nice having so many plant based alternative options, makes reducing meat in my diet that much easier. On the other hand I feel like I should just simply being eating more vegetables/beans/rice/etc instead of easy fake meats

Why not a healthy bit of both? You can reduce you meat a little, but also add more vegetables/beans/rice/etc

They had been taking eggs out of some of their products and I remember them saying their entire line would be egg free by 2021. Guess they missed that goal then.

My grandma ordered these for a long time without knowing they're vegan lol

Oh. The corn was vegan. Haha. I meant the butter for the garlic butter wasn't vegan... I meant the meal also had corn in it, even though it wasn't listed as part of the recipe...

i cooked with tempeh for the first time a few days ago. it was a little pricey coming in at $8 for 16oz. but i liked how hearty it was and the flavor was subtle and nutty-ish. will probably cook with this again, but i feel like i need to find a cheaper source. or maybe i'll just stick with $2.79 tofu.

Where'd you get your tempeh? I get it from Whole Foods sometimes but I don't remember it being that expensive

got one package from Meijer ($3.99) and one from Kroger ($4.49). this was the only brand either store had. recipe called for 15oz, so I had to get two.

https://www.meijer.com/shopping/product/lightlife-original-organic-tempeh-8-oz/4345403050.html

edit: looks like that same package is $4.49 at WF too.

Ah yeah well 6-8$ for two 8oz packs of tempeh doesn't sound too far off, actually, considering how the price of all groceries have gone up the past few years.

I see name brand cereals going for $8-9 a box sometimes or a bag of potato chips for the same price and I think to myself...seriously?

If you live in a warm environment and don't mind the process, give homemade tempeh a try. It's pretty cheap, simple, and very customizable. Chickpea and lentil tempeh is my favorite. Come to think of it, I don't know why I stopped making it but I'm about to pick up some starter and get back into it.

yeah man it's tough. give another +1 for vegan food since it's generally cheaper (yeah yeah yeah, I was literally complaining about the price of tempeh two posts ago).
