I looked to see if there was a thread created for healthy vegan/vegetarian recipes. I didn't see any on the first page, so I created one here. Notice I noted HEALTHY...because we all know there are unhealthy ways of eating vegan/vegetarian diet. We can share our meals and pics (if you have any) with all those who are looking to follow a whole foods plant based diet. Happy sharing ya'll! Don't forget to follow the thread!!!

I think I'll try it soon with stir fry Riced Cauliflower! It's great that they have it available in bags ready to go in the produce section at HEB now. It would take me awhile otherwise (& difficult for me, as I have screws in my thumb). Your recipe sounds great!

Ok I had to make @Newme17 banana oatmeal Cookies today. I experimented a little and this is what I came up with.

4 ripe bananas

2.5 cups oatmeal

2 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk

raisins

walnuts

I cooked them for 15-20 at 350.

my dh has been devouring them. They turned out super yummy.

I have a very similar one I'm using, since I'm on soft foods & can't have nuts yet:

Healthy Cookies

Pre heat oven to 350 degrees

3 Mashed Bananas (ripe)
1/3 c Applesauce
2 cups oats
1/4 c Almond Milk
1/2 c Dark chocolate chips
1 tsp Vanilla
1 tsp Cinnamon

Bake for 15-20 minutes.

Thank you for reminding me, they sound good, can't wait to try one!

These look so good.

I thought it would be interesting to look up the fat and cholesterol levels of some commonly eaten animal meats. Amazing how much is in only 2 oz. I think I will stick with my nuts and seeds, which have zero cholesterol:
Chicken breast 2 oz
TF- 2g
SF- 1g
Cholest- 86mg
Ground Beef 2 oz
TF- 10.4g
SF- 4.2
Cholest- 49mg
Ribeye Steak 2 oz
TF- 9g
SF- 3g
Cholest- 44mg
Pork Chops 2 oz
TF- 8.2g
SF- 3g
Cholest- 44mg
1 Large Egg
TF- 4.5g
SF- 1.5g
Cholest-185mg

2 oz of boneless skinless chicken breast has 47 mg Cholesterol

You are correct I must of been looking at something else when I posted that value. Thanks for correcting it.

I made a big pot of sweet potato chili tonight. I basically followed this recipe:

http://allrecipes.com/recipe/239887/vegan-sweet-potato-chili/?internalSource=similar_recipe_banner&referringId=229081&referringContentType=recipe&clickId=simslot_4

except I used 1 can of black beans and 1 can of red kidney.

I also added some Gardein meatless ground beef and corn. It was yummy!!

It LOOKS YUM-MO! Thanks for sharing I look forward to trying it.

Hey everyone. Sorry, it’s been a while. I made an Indian dish called Chana Saag. First time making it. It’s vegetarian and smells so good. I’ll be serving it over rice for my hubby. No rice for me—still makes me too full too fast. Super easy recipe too, hope y’all can try t out sometime. I added extra curry.

That looks so yummy @Newme17.

I love your binder for your recipes!!! I am copying that idea
