Default Re: meatless, milkless main dishes?

minestrone soup
noodle and vegetable soup
vegan pancakes or waffles

Make my "yum sauce":
1 c. good quality cashews
3 c. water
blend in the blender for a super long time. If there are any chunks, strain it through a coffee filter. Add 1 tsp of salt and 2 tbsp of corn starch. Cook over medium heat, stirring almost constantly, until it thickens (about 5 minutes). You can also add a few cubes of pureed sweet potatoes for color and it doesn't affect the flavor. (no more than 2 cubes for a recipe)

Serve over noodles (it's similar to mac and cheese) or add basil for a creamy pesto. Serve over baked potatoes. Use as a base for cream of potato or cream of broccoli soup. Eat with chips as nachos. Spread on a tortilla for a fake quesadilla. Serve with rice. This sauce is a mainstay of our dinner menu. We've never tried it a way we haven't liked it.
If the sauce tastes too much like cashews, then use a different brand next time. It's only good with really mild ones.

Thank you.
I made cashew cream once and used it in soup.
The way I did it, from a recipe was to get raw cashews, soak them overnight in the fridge, then blend them adding additional water if necessary. I did it in the vitamix so no lumps. I did not know what else to use it in besides soup. I will have to try it some of the other ways that you recommend.

At this point, my two younger kids will only eat tomato soup.
Oldest dd eats any and all soup, but she has moved out. When she is home, however, she loves for me to make soup.
Ds is a tiny bit more open to trying new things.
This morning I made steel cut oats as oatmeal and he ate it.
With maple syrup.
Dd would not even consider that.

If you have Pinterest, go here: http://pinterest.com/lexi_029/food-ideas/ Some of it has dairy because I'm hoping to someday be able to eat it again but a lot is vegan.

Default Re: meatless, milkless main dishes?

instant falafel. They don't need to know it used to be beans
lasagna made with tofu ricotta or lots of veggies
eggplant slices, breaded and pan fried served on sandwiches or with pasta and read sauces

My kids love sandwiches. we do grilled cheese with daiya. But, we do it all fancy because they love to make their own. So, pesto, cheese lots of veggies. I guess it is like a panini but we don't really press them.

tonight we had root beer floats and tater tots because we rented a movie. we never get movies.

Chili on anything rice, potatoes, taco salad, Indian Tacos, pasta, fritos, fries, tots, enchiladas...we really like chili. If your kids do not like beans you can try pureeing it a bit, sweetening it with brown sugar, or just using tvp or burger crumbles instead of beans.
