And chili for desert
I'm a horrible cook, and a shtty veg. So here's a nice easy recipe that I used to rely on a lot.

Ingredients

kidney beans
(You can also mix it up with some other beans if you're down with that)

mccormick's chili seasoning
(Or you can look up chili seasonings online and make your own, I just didn't have enough spices)

diced tomatoes

Sweet Onion

Morningstar Crumbles

Ground Red Cayenne Pepper to taste.

Recipe:

Dice the sweet onion and through it in a skillet with the morningstar crumbles till the onions are lightly browned.

In a pot or kettle, combine all the ingredients and cook on Medium Low heat. Should be ready rather quickly, since the meat usually takes the longest to cook...and since we don't have any..

I kind of avoided the "meat replacement" items, because I thought they were silly, but in a recipe like chili, that extra texture and substance is really important. I amazed how much it tasted like my normal chili recipe. In fact, it's completely identical in flavor. It's got lots of protein and it's really filling, so I thought I'd share.

EDIT: You can also work some cheese in there if you want, but that's not really my thing. Also, LOTS of hot sauce.

Bread
Butter
Cheese

Take bread and toast lightly on one side.
Turn and apply a light coating of butter and add thinly sliced cheese. Preferably cheddar.
Grill until cheese melts. Add pepper and a smidgen of tomato sauce.

Yorkshire Pudding

Probably one of the simplest and tastiest things you can make to add to a nice hearty dinner.

Ingredients

3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 eggs
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup pan drippings from roast prime rib of beef (this is optional, usually used if you're doing a roast)


Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

Sift together the flour and salt in a bowl. In another bowl, beat together the eggs and milk until light and foamy. Stir in the dry ingredients just until incorporated. Pour the drippings into a 9-inch pie pan, cast iron skillet, or square baking dish. Put the pan in oven and get the drippings smoking hot. Carefully take the pan out of the oven and pour in the batter. Put the pan back in oven and cook until puffed and dry, 15 to 20 minutes.

Finished product should look something like this.

Okay, this thread makes me hungry. Crap.

Cheesy squash, tomato and zucchini bake

A yummy, quick and easy (and vegan) recipe, guaranteed to tantalize your taste buds. Mmm! http://www.mysmiley.net/imgs/smile/happy/happy0090.gif

3 medium zucchini, sliced thin
4 medium yellow squash, sliced thin
2-3 medium tomatoes, sliced thin
1 clove garlic, minced fine
vegan parmesan or vegan mozzarella cheese
olive oil
salt and pepper

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Start by lightly oiling a 9x13 baking dish, and sprinkling with the garlic. Then layer the zucchini, tomato, and squash in rows until the entire dish is covered. You may have some left over, depending on how tightly you pack the veggies. Drizzle lightly with olive oil (or use one of those nifty sprays), and then top with the vegan cheese. Bake, covered, for 25 minutes. Check the veggies to make sure they are soft. Then turn the broiler on, and broil until brown & bubbly. Serve hot!

Makes 4 servings!

I usually use this blog when I wanna cook something new. The cucumber salad is AMAZING on some pita bread.
