Seitan is sauted with cumin, tossed with roasted veggies and rice, then topped with a very rich guacamole for those days that you just have to have something a little extravagant

This is a lovely, dark, meaty tasting dish without the meat!
This serves a crowd, with 9 generous half cup servings.

Try to find "French Green Lentils", as they are the best. I purchase mine at an organic grocery. If you cannot find those, then look for a small, roundish, green to brown lentil. Sometimes these are named just brown lentil. If you look closely however, there will be a greenish cast and these are much smaller and also more round than those you find in the one pound bags at the regular grocery store. These Lentils are so much better than those plain, flat, brown ones that you find everywhere. They take a little longer to cook, but are well worth the patience expended!

These burgers are spiced to perfection. To make them even spicier, you could melt jalapeno soy cheese on each patty and serve topped with salsa.

A basic recipe for vegetarian shepherds pie- can be changed up in many ways. Whether you want to use something other than veggie ground round and lentils, like black beans or chick peas, or whether you want to omit the cheese in the potatoes and just make it vegan.

This is a modification of a beef and mushroom stroganoff recipe I tried from another sparkpeople member (budgetmom).
I mix different mushrooms, like portabella and oyster. Can be served over regular egg noodles or eggless egg noodles to make it vegan. These can be found at stop and shop.

This is a crunchy treat that takes 10 minutes to prepare. Not only are these raw cinnamon balls delicious, but they will give you energy. They make a great snack in the afternoon when your blood sugar is plunging. The protein in the almonds, combined with the brain stimulating raw cacao and the blood balancing cinnamon will give you that needed lift.

(Can't believe I neglected to say this!) Recipe is Isa's from VCTOTW. Entered for my own calorie tracking purposes back in the day. Apologies to Ms. Isa! I didn't create this fine recipe, I just like it.

Sweet, moist pumpkin cupcakes laced with dark chocolate chips with hints of cinnamon and vanilla. I use Nunaturals stevia baking blend and make 'em fat free with fruit puree rather than oil. The original, unaltered version can be found on theppk.com, I believe. Or in her cupcake book. :)

These cookies are a variation on Happy Vegan Chocolate Chip cookies in VegWeb.com. I used whole hazelnuts in hopes that it would slow me down a bit when I'm eating these.

My husband, who is a chef, makes it for me. It's a flavorful, low calorie salad that is very refreshing! It has a high water content so it's very good on hot days.

These were delicious! I served them on warm whole wheat tortillas - about 200 calories for the whole meal, and soooo good.

This is the healthiest ice-cream ever... all my friends were dubious about it at first but loved it after they tatsed it. Good for those nights when you feel like treating yourself to something sweet. A great recipe to make in bulk and have a few of these already frozen for treats when you need them

This is the best thing for your body, if your fighting a flu or cold or the flu. It's loaded with natural vitamins and and minerals which are proven to help flushing out bacteria, toxins and viruses. Make sure all the ingredients are organic and the water is distilled. There's no sense making a broth filled with insecticides, hormons, chlorine and toxins, if your trying to help your body flush such things out.

This recipe came about because I had just made vegetable enchiladas and had leftovers, plus quinoa from earlier in the week. Thankfully, this experiment yielded a hearty, delicious meal.

I cooked up a batch of dried beans that I seasoned with onions, garlic, chiles and spices. If you use canned beans, you might need more spices. Try adding Chef Meg's Taco Seasoning.

Serve this with steamed broccoli or wilted spinach and a dollop of light sour cream or plain Greek yogurt.

A fresh take on a Mexican favorite. From "Party Like a Culinista: Fresh Recipes, Bold Flavors, and Good Friends."
