Roasted cauliflower soup
Nice tasty way to have cauliflower. The recipe is found: https://plantbasedandveganism.com/roasted-cauliflower-soup-1004rk/
Ingredients:
1 medium- large head of cauliflower ( cut in florets and roasted)- I did mine without oil or seasoning and roasted them at 375 until tender somewhere around 45 minutes so I wouldn’t set off my sensitive smoke detector 🥸)

3 cloves garlic minced
1 medium carrot grated (me food processor finely)
1 celery stalk, diced
4 and 1/2 cups broth
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
1/4 teaspoon celery seed (note they used 3/4 teaspoons celery salt)

Before serving when soup done you take 4 ladle full of soup
and blend and add back to the soup.

Frozen mandarin orange nice cream
Wow, tastes similar to a creamsicle or orange sherbet.
For one serving take two fresh mandarin oranges ( also called cuties). Peel and break into individual segments and freeze for a few hours. Then blend in a food processor(you can ad a bit of water). Keep blending then press with a spoon to get the creamy consistency.

Excellent/so tasty and easy if you cook brown rice or whatever you use ahead.
Note: I used gf panko crumbs for the top.
Here is the recipe: https://bitesofwellness.com/vegan-broccoli-casserole/

Cauliflower lentil salad
Very tasty and easy if you have canned lentils. I get mine from Harris Teeters.
The recipe is here: https://theplantbasedschool.com/cauliflower-lentil-salad/
The dressing is delicious—I cut way back on the olive oil, plus when I roast the cauliflower I don’t use oil.

Mix
Roasted Brussels sprouts
Apples
Raisins
Lentils (used canned)
Pecans
Mix the above and put on top of fresh spinach if using.
Top everything with a honey Dijon sauce. I used a watered down one from McDougall

Crockpot rice pudding
My opinion is this recipe works better on the stove top cooking for 30 minutes. but then it needs constant stirring.Please in lightly oiled crockpot—I added raisins .I used my small one. Cook on high between 2 and 1/2 hours and -and 2 hours and 50 minutes.
I used long grain rice, but short grain would probably be better,
If you want to use dates instead of sugar go here: https://nannykimsrecipes.blogspot.com/2019/08/stove-top-rice-pudding.html?m=1. This link is to a stovetop recipe but could probably be adapted.

Pumpkin Alfredo
Nice— we added pimento and some fresh basil to the recipe when serving. Also when serving sprinkled with ground cashews.
The recipe called for mushrooms, but we didn’t use them.
I used less than a full can of pumpkin because I had some leftover from another recipe. Maybe a 1/3 of cup less? I also used less of the seasonings. I probably used 1/2 teaspoon of the thyme, rosemary, and sage. I did the 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg. . I did add salt, although the recipe doesn’t call for it.
Here is the link: https://wellyourworld.com/blogs/youtube-videos/pumpkin-alfredo

Tofu Chick-fil-a style nuggets
Really surprised at how good these tasted. Recipe found here: https://nosweatvegan.com/vegan-chick-fil-a-style-nuggets-with-vegan-honey-mustard-dipping-sauce-oil-free/
You are supposed to drain the tofu and then freeze it for at least 4 hours. Then thaw it and then follow the recipe. Mine was partially frozen in the back of my refrigerator 🤣…and hadn’t been drained. So I thawed it and drained it— pressing out the water and then followed the directions for dipping and cooking. It was still very tasty.
NOTE:
I used tamari sauce for the soy sauce and honey for the agave. I used 1/2 tablespoon poultry seasoning instead of a tablespoon. The recipe called for either tablespoon of vegetable broth or poultry seasoning. Next time I would use less poultry seasoning or just try the broth.
Go to link for details.

bacon , vegan
I used some with a toasted vegan gf waffle and vegan egg. Waffle recipe found here: https://nannykimsrecipes.blogspot.com/2023/07/waffles-dairy-free-oil-free.html
This is really good; best yet. You can do it one of two ways. One way uses the rice paper with just the seasonings and a second way you add some marinated tofu in between the rice paper. The second way is what is in my photos.
For a great vegan egg recipe go here: https://nannykimsrecipes.blogspot.com/2024/01/mung-bean-egg.html
Ingredients:
1/4 cup tamari (for GF---you can use soy sauce but not all are gf)
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon liquid smoke
1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons of nutritional yeast
Optional if using 3.5 oz of firm tofu (I used extra firm--this is about 1/4 of a 15 ounce block),drained, pressed and crumbled
a sprinkling of black pepper
optional: 1 & 1/2 teaspoon mushroom seasoning
3 large sheets of rice paper or 6 small sheets or whatever
Parchment paper or oil to grease your pans
2 cookie sheets
Directions: Preheat oven 400 F
Combine tamari, water, liquid smoke, smoked paprika, garlic powder, nutritional yeast, black pepper, mushroom seasoning in a bowl and mix well.
If using tofu place 2 tablespoons of this liquid in a small bowl and place the crumbled tofu in it mixing it.
Line cookie sheets with parchment paper
Take the rice paper and cut in 1 & 1/2 strips. Dip strips in the large bowl and place on cookie sheet. You don't soak them--you just dip them. Then top immediately with another strip you have dipped in the marinade if not using tofu.
If using the Tofu you first place a dipped piece of rice paper on the pan, top with a bit of tofu, and then top this with another dipped piece of rice paper. Note: the pieces of rice paper with stick to each other as they bake.
So with either recipe with or without tofu you end up with 2 rice paper strips on top of each other--the ones with tofu will have tofu in between teh 2.
Place in oven and cook 7 minutes watching the last few minutes to make sure they don't burn.

Mung bean egg
Best Vegan egg I have had! I found the recipe here: https://www.wholly-plants.com/mung-bean-eggs/
I used my non-stick skillet. If using a regular skillet you need to use oil in the pan. The key to these is not turning them too soon. You wait until bubbles appear all over and edges look like they are done and test with a silicone spatula prying up the edges carefully. Wait until it easily flips.
Note to self: use my slower largest burner.
You cook these on Medium. You soak the beans overnight.
Ingredients
1/2 cup Split Mung Beans (see photo below)
1/4 teaspoon black salt (I used kosher salt)
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 tablespoon Nutritional Yeast
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 cup soy milk unflavored unsweet (or plant milk)
Soak beans in a bowl filled with water---beans have to be completely covered. Soak at least 8 hours. Drain and rinse.
Place the beans and rest of the ingredients in high speed blender or food processor. Blend until smooth.
Cook 1/4 cup at a time in skillet at medium temp. Don't flip until a while after bubbles appear. If using a regular skillet instead of non-stick you will need oil. Flip and cook other side until done.
Makes about 7
