It doesnt have any soy in it so it's a nice alternative once in a while. You can stir fry it, saute it and its very tasty. Just google Temeph, you'll get some great recipes. I also love "Amy" brand foods. great soups, and burgers. I'm not a vegan only a vegetarian but most are vegan. Just look at the label. I hate boca burgers, I think they taste aweful. Amy's is much better. Good luck! I also eat Temeph. It doesnt have any soy in it so it’s a nice alternative once in a while. You can stir fry it, saute it and its very tasty.

Also, though not all Morning Star products are vegan, I'll name three great excellent ones to get you started... Morning Star Steak Strips (eat with some A1) Morning Star Chicken (eat alone or combine with vegetarian chicken broth, now in some shop rites, for chicken soup) Morning Star Chopmeat - add this to any vegetarian pasta sauce for easy meat sauce) Remember when cooking vegan meat there is nothing to cook... the bacteria is gone and you are essentially just heating it up. It is very easy to overcook. Also, most italian and lithuanian breads are vegan, along with jewish breads. You should still read ingredients, but most of them are vegan. Eat these with a Smart Dog (thats the brand name, they make great jumbo dogs) or with a Boca Vegan Burger. Also Silk makes yogurt, which is out of this world, they have a Key Lime pie flavor that tastes like pie fillig. With the exception of the vegetarian chicken broth, which shoprite carries on and off, all of the things i mentioned you should be able to find in any grocery store. I hope this helps... these are some of the easy recipes that I eat. -Heather Try eating some things that are already vegan, like brocolli stirfryed with some garlic and soy sauce.

It works best if it's a bit smushed first (yeah i don't know any technical terms.. just wrap it in cloth, put it on a plate, and put something heavy on it for about 20 minutes.. then crumble it like you would with feta cheese. it won't create an egg-y taste, but the texture will be right). Also, instead of canned tomatoes, try putting in some salsa for more flavour. I also like to add in fresh herbs, as well as salt and pepper. lots of veggies are really great too. you were right about firm tofu working better!

Make tomato sauce with Diced Tomatoes and Tomato Paste. You can add onions, mushrooms, etc. Then all you need are spices and you're good to go. It's easy and the only downside is that it gets boring if you do it five nights a week. Get inventive with salads too. Especially this time of year, including strawberries or cherries in a salad can make it a totally different experience. Also, don't underestimate avacados.
