Vegetable-arianism

[LSPoorEeyorick]

I'm a vegetarian! I eat dairy and fish, though. But Tom's vegan (and cannot eat protein) so together we can provide you with our fun adjustable recipes. (i.e. plus-or-minus a little tofu here or there, plus-or-minus some beans...)

I have an excellent recipe for vegan blood orange cupcakes (any citrus will suffice but it was blood orange season when we made them.) Tofu cream cheese frosting! (A lot of non-vegans here ate them at a party once.)

We also have numerous potato and stiry fry recipes. We just made gazpacho two nights ago and we're still experimenting on that, though.

OH! And vegan risotto! I'll post that too, when I get to it. It's excellent-- Tom's best recipe.

I'm curious what it is about protein that Tom can't have. Is it the amino acids, or does he have to take an amino acid supplement to make up for no protein?

I have discovered the joys of tofu in a way I never thought possible. I hate how it sticks to my stainless steel pan though. I need to get a good cast iron skillet.
