Favorite Vegan and Vegetarian Products... So Far

Personally, both broccoli and cauliflower aren't veggies I eat often (dislike the texture and aftertaste). However, I do love organic broccoli in homemade Buddha's Delight.

Actually, the smoked chicken slices (#5 on my list) is a lunchmeat, but I don't usually use it in sandwiches. In fact, I've tried two or three different ones, but most have either an aftertaste or an unpleasant waxy texture. The smoked chicken though is quite good either in sandwiches, on pizzas, or with crackers and cheese (my personal favorite).

As for the mac and cheese, I usually cook it in a skillet because most boxed mac and cheese mixes come out kind of watery, so I boil the pasta and drain it, then mix the pasta and sauce together in a skillet and let it fry on low heat until the sauce thickens to perfection. MMMmmm, now I'm hungry thinking about it.

Yeah, there's another brand that has a vegan mac and cheese mix, but they don't carry it locally. I think the closest store was in Vermont, which is ironic since that's where much of the country's best cheese comes from.

You mean the Italian Style ones? I've only tried them in a pasta stir fry, but I'm thinking about putting them in spaghetti as well. Do you recommend pre-cooking them before putting it in the sauce? As for the scrambled "beef" stuff, I haven't tried it yet because I rarely ate beef even when I was a meat-eater, but I've considered trying it in an experimental vegetarian shepherd's pie.

I fried the tempeh in a bit of olive oil on the high heat setting and then used abit of soy cheese (can't recall the brand name at the moment) and then I wrapped it up in Lavash bread. Very tasty.

As for the liquid smoke, will do. I don't know how many stores around here would even carry it so may choices may be limited as to whether I can get organic or not. I'll keep my fingers crossed though.
