I obviously haven’t had most vegan foods but Im working on it. I haven’t been vegan long enough for all of the cool recipes and stuff! Anyway, my favorite vegan foods would have to be: pasta with vegan butter and nutritional yeast, homeade pizza dough (vegan, of course) with pasta sauce and daiya, and tofu! I had amazing garlic crusted tofu squares for dinner tonight! I made oven roasted cauliflower and sweet potato fries to go with it. Mmmmm. <3

Zucchini Lasagna is my absolute favourite! I made it for my (non-vegan) family and they LOVED it! Make your favourite tomato-based sauce, layer it between boiled, but still firm, zucchini, bake on 325 degrees for 15 minutes. Enjoy! I put orange peppers and asparagus in my sauce for some crunchiness!

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion (or 1/2 of a large), diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 green bell pepper, diced
2 cups textured vegetable protein TVP – (see above for other suggestions
instead of TVP)
1 28-ounce can of organic crushed tomatoes
1/4 cup organic tomato paste
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce (make sure it is gluten-free and vegan)
1-2 teaspoons sriracha sauce (optional)
1 teaspoon liquid smoke
1 tablespoon stoneground or wholegrain mustard
1 tablespoon maple sugar
3/4 – 1 cup water
Salt and pepper to taste
Heat olive oil in large saute pan over medium heat. Add diced onion,
green bell pepper and garlic, saute for 5 to 8 minutes.
Add the TVP, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce,
sriracha sauce, liquid smoke, mustard, maple sugar, 3/4 cup of water, salt
and pepper to the saute pan. Lower the heat, cover and simmer for 40 –

My favorite vegan dish is the green bean casserole that was on the peta2 website for Thanksgiving a couple years ago. Even my meat-eating family asks me to make it for them every year! I’ll be going to college in a couple years and if I got this cookbook now I could become familiar with the recipes and know which ones will become regulars when I’m cooking for myself in college!
