Just made some Yellow Lentils (Split Peas) today. Came out good.

Onions, Carrots, Ginger, and I threw some Mushrooms in there that I needed to use. I like the mild flavor of the yellow lentils.

I actually made some lentils and rice two days ago. I added some sesame garlic tempah in there with it a little earlier which was pretty damn good. Used Curry, turmeric, chili pepper and some other things to season the lentils.


10p all those dishes look nice. Do you have a recipe for the bean tacos?

Made this tofu scramble a while ago, cant remember how tho

Baseballer, few questions. Can I get your Bean Burger and Vegan Cornbread recipies please? How do they compare to the "normal" versions. Especially the textures of the bean burgers.

I just became vegan a few weeks ago, so none of these are my recipes, just found em online.  And anything that calls for canned beans, I always drain and rinse em first, or i use dry beans if i have any cooked in the freezer - too much sodium otherwise

Bean tacos - i didn't add any of the vegan cheese, didn't really want it

Bean burger - i subbed a can of black beans for a can of refried, went light on the soy sauce, and just seasoned them the way i like them.  I'm not gonna say the bean burger feels just like a hamburger. i mean, obviously it's not gonna be as juicy, but it's not dry by any means.  If you don't cook it enough, it will be a little mushy in the middle (i've done that a couple times), but otherwise its pretty good and doesn't even really need any toppings in my opinion.

Cornbread - this is probably better than most cornbread i've had except this one - but i bet if you add all that sugar and some kind of butter replacement to this vegan one, it would taste just the same.  The biggest difference in this one is that you use ground flaxseed instead of eggs.  when you prepare the flax, you'll see that it acts just like an egg would - i thought that was pretty cool

Vegetarian lifestyle is pretty good. If I could get back in the groove of things, and found someone (female) that was on the same page, I wouldnt mind doing it again at all. I was raised vegetarian, so it wouldnt be something I'm not used to.

here's a filling side, that you can keep in your fridge throughout the week:

creamy, cheesy garlic mashed potatoes/cauliflower w/ chard + sauteed red onions.

BTW, if i were to be vegetarian, id stay with those MorningStar brand foods, Trader Joe's alternatives & massive amounts of tofu.

Posting for later reference... How beneficial are mushrooms to your health/weight gains? I eat them all the time but never really knew if they did anything.
