vegan meals for mom to be

ljanette85 · December 2011

I follow a vegan diet but I would love some new ideas for meals. any advice? I just tried yogurt made from coconut milk today and it was a great! I try to keep the soy products to a minimum... I'm also trying not to go on a carb binge (harder than it sounds lol) I'm thinking of trying some bbq tempeh

any ideas are appreciated, thanks!

This is a great time of year for soups and stews. You can find a lot of great bean-based soups online or in the vegetarian times cookbook. Unless it is specifically a cheese based soup, you can usually leave out any cheese and have it still taste fine. : )

Your diet sounds a lot like mine when I was pg! I was completely vegan prior to pregnancy and now have reverted back to eating some dairy, but no to almost no meat. During my pregnancy I feel like I lived on hummus and bread, for whatever reason I couldn't get enough. Any meal that had beans in it frequented my fridge as well. We had lots of mexican food that I made at home, bean tacos, bean burritos, etc. I've made lasagna with tofu in it, or tofu crumbles in stir fry, but again I also try to stay away from too much soy too often. I make chili with just beans (white chili or regular chili), stuffed peppers with quinoa, or even quinoa and veggie stir fry, etc. I am really not a super chef, I make easy stuff and those are some of the things I love to eat, hope that helps!

We recently started eating alot of lentils-I had no idea how yummy they were! (heads up my meals are simple budget+soon to be 4 kids=easy!)

Lentil soup-1lb lentils, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, No-Chick bouillon (NCB) and water, simmer 20-30 min.

Lentil Chili 1/2 lb ea lentils and barley, onion garlic, tomato (chopped or lg can diced) corn (can or frzn) lots of chili powder and garlic salt (NCB-opt) I think I start with 5 cups water and let it simmer 40 minutes adding more h2o if needed-My kids LOVE this and it is super simple, my 9 year old makes it

My favorite is Black bean soup with collard greens- this recipe is amazing!!! Though I skip the OJ https://blog.fatfreevegan.com/2010/01/tropical-black-bean-and-collard-green.html

Do you follow Post Punk Kitchen or Vegan MoFO? Also Forks over knives (I follow on FB) posts links to recipes frequently

We used to not eat much soy products but since I have been pregnant and I felt like I wasn't getting enough protein (plus I hated all beans the first 20 wks) we added them in. Not sure what I am going to do once LO is here and I have to get creative again lol

I'm not vegan, but like to limit my meat consumption, particularly when my husband's not around. I don't have tons of suggestions, but here are a few that my husband and I both enjoyed and have made repeatedly:

https://www.serasphere.net/Recipes/Zucchini_tomato.htm (we fly through this. If we're not serving anything else with it, I need to do a double batch.)

I also really like lentils instead of ground beef for taco meat, nachos, etc.
