need a Vegan recipe

[Smiling JOe]

That's why I mentioned ovo-lacto. Hell, I dunno what you do about pasta if you're ovo-lacto. (I mean, SJ, what do you eat at Borago if you're ovo-lacto?) Actually I think that my pasta machine recipe book has a recipe with no eggs or milk.

I'm not a Vegan, so I can eat anything, but this is a Vegan Potluck, which I'm attending, and I want to prepare a truly Vegan meal.

What is ovo-lacto? ( I get the lacto part)

It sounds like a woman's problem.

Ovo is egg...guess it is egg and milk free???...but being a vegan consists of much much more than just not eating certian foods

SJ...I can give you a killer recipe for a vegan lasagna...let me know if you would like it....

SJ is not vegan...I assume he is going to a party that consists of mostly vegans.... and maybe he will be converted...NAHH...chef John would NEVER permit it....

For a minute there, I thought you knew me, but I could never make it as a Vegan. I've known a few, but I couldn't do it. I'm a carnivore at heart, but occasionally, I slip and become a temporary omnivore. I am hungry 24-7, and even more so lately, that I changed my workout routine. I think that is a good thing as I think it may mean that I am eating leaner meals and my metabolism is increasing. I must say that it sucks to be starving hungry all the time, even after I eat. My six pack will never come out from behind the curtain if it means living a starving hungry life.

Yes, I am going to Vegan Potluck, and the host is Vegan. There may be other Vegans there, but I have not a clue. It is good to have to think outside of the box, though, so I enjoy the challenge of creating a fantastically delicious plate of food. I have some easy standards like eggplant, zucchini, yellow squash, vidalia onions, and portabella mushrooms brushed with olive oil, and touched with salt and pepper, then lightly grilled. Yummy! I know that one of you has the magic recipe that opens my mind to something new. Keep them coming. I can search online for recipes, and that is not what I'm asking for. Looking for YOUR recipes or ideas.

By definition, "purist vegans" don't exist. One is either Vegan or something other than vegan. ;-)

As pasta makes me think of a hearty meal, where I am sweating as I burn extra calories, I am leaning toward lighter foods. It is August in Florida. (insert sweating smilie here) Now that recipe will come in handy, later in Jan or Feb, so keep it handy. ;-)

Seriously, you make a great point, and one that I've often made. So many want-to-be vegetarians need to learn how to property eat, prior to deciding to start their vegetarian diet. I hear so many vegetarians being unhealthy and they end up going back to including meat into their diet.

The first and probably only case of honest to goodness rickets I have ever seen was in a little girl who lived in a hardcore vegan commune in podunk Louisiana...poor little gal's legs were bowed like a ship's hull, but y'know, no animals were hurt in the process;-)
