I'm actually about to make some Jamaican Calaloo rice with Vegan Curry(Vegan Beef Tips)
Are you ready to breakaway from the traditional way of cooking Callaloo? The leafy vegetable, Callaloo (amaranth), is a popular Caribbean dish and has it's orgins in West Africa. It is served in different ways across the Caribbean. In Jamaica it is typically cooked with cod fish (salfish). Callaloo Seasoned Rice takes a Jamaican favorite and adds a new spin to make a one pot meal. It can also be used as a great side dish.

just swap the soft margarine with vegan margarine or coconut oil and you're good to go.


I've made this Mac and Cheese recipe a lot and it's banging. My favorite recipe

I found a quick way to make vegan ranch dressing I been kinda geeked bout.

Tbsp of vegan mayo
Couple shakes of parsley
Couple shakes of garlic powder
Almond or soy milk to thin it out.

Stir it up & boom you got ranch dressing.

Ethiopian food is GREAT for vegans. I've been a regular at these two Ethiopian spots near my house which have vegan selections which are filling and come with a lot of food.

I usually get the Shimbra Asa with Misir wat and Fasolia as sides. One of the stores have this Vegan kitfo which is I love that place. One of the owners know me and even let me pay for my food a week later

My favorite spot is NuVegan Cafe on Georgia Ave - Drake, Kim & Kanye always in that joint.

In Columbia Heights there's a vegan bakery called Sticky Fingers. They also have food and a great brunch on the weekends.

On H St there's a new dinner style vegan spot called Fare Well. It's from the same folks that run sticky fingers. The "chikn" & waffles there are off the rip! They also have great deserts.

Trying to stay away from soy though...not good for men....do most of these places "replace" the meat with soy?

 

[Rockstar Mom]

I can't cut out meat completely. I need it


But I do mostly vegetarian. I only eat meat maybe twice a week. Most of the vegan stuff doesn't really appeal to me.

Also, vegan "cheese" is the most disrespectful thing ever created

Non-GMO soy and fermented soy foods like Tempeh are fine. It's mostly misinfo and confusion.

thanks....will look into this

It is so much misinformation out there it is sometimes hard to decipher what is real.

 

[VladTheImpaler]

Brehs...me and the lady tried the Organic Veggie Bites and the Organic Vegetable and Barley soup ...they have it at Costco. Quiet as kept, they actually have several vegetarian foods there.

 

[Rockstar Mom]

Its hard to do when you have a family. The fam still eats meat, and making 2 separate meals gets old quick.

Oh I tried this the other day(The vanilla one) and I think this is the best vegan commercial milk product out bar none.

The unsweetened one was nasty. The vanilla one is

Next best one is

Also try not to get the milks that has "carageenan" in it as an ingredient. It's supposedly toxic as it's a chemically derived substance from Irish Moss(which by itself is great).

They can substitute it if you like. At nu vegan they have a lot of stuff made with wheat protein
