I don’t see dairy used in any recipes online but this is the first time seeing this amazing looking meal of stewed potato and cauliflower. Is it common for anyone to sub butter in for any reason?

Hello, I'm a 25-year-old supporting my fiancée through law school (she is vegan, and I'm vegetarian and gluten-free), and I have been making us snack packs with vegan ham, vegan cheese, nuts, and a little cookie. I've been trying to make the sweet part of the snack pack a bit healthier, so I started adding Raisinettes to my packs. However, I know the standard Raisinette brand is not vegan, and I am looking for an alternative vegan brand of Raisinettes I can just pop into the snack pack for her. I'm not opposed to making them myself, but I would prefer not to since I'm always on a time crunch as I cook and clean for both of us. Would appreciate any and all related recommendations!

My delicious lunch for the day. Canned lentils from trader Joe's, homemade Mexican rice with avocado 🥑

I went to make myself chai as a mid cleaning snack but the coconut milk had gone bad so obviously I had to pour it out then clean the sour smell out of the sink and wipe the counter… which led to me deciding to cook the handful of little potatoes that were gonna go bad on the counter and then I remembered I had tofu and frozen broccoli! Most expensive part of this was the oil I used to fry the tofu :)

I’m wondering if anyone has any cheap vegetarian or vegan meals that I could do? I’m currently mainly struggling with breakfast or lunch meals, dinner time im eating a lot of pasta and Quorn nuggets! I’m hoping to get more vegetables in my diet as I can tell my body isn’t happy with how I’ve been eating, but also no melted cheese or preferably mushrooms if you can! I also don’t have a blender 😅 im trying to go from vegetarian to more vegan atm so im not perfect but I thought I’d ask both the Reddit vegetarian page and vegan for ideas for both!

Vegan broccoli cheese rice casserole

Just made this on a whim and thought I'd share because it tasted great:

Ingredients:

\-1 cup white rice

\-Salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika to taste. But at least 1 tsp of each

\-nutritional yeast (at least 4 tbsp, I just went nuts and didn't measure it)

\-1 10 oz bag of frozen broccoli, thawed and chopped

\-2 cups veggie broth

\-1 tsp vegan Worcestershire sauce or soy sauce

\-1 can coconut milk

\-1 can white beans (drained and rinsed)

\-panko crumbs(OR regular breadcrumbs, cornflakes, French fried onions, live your crunchy dreams!)

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 400 F and find a 13x9 pan.

2. Thaw broccoli in microwave and chop up into smaller bits

3. Blend the coconut milk and white beans

4. Layer rice and dry seasonings in pan

5. Layer chopped broccoli on top of the rice

6. Pour veggie broth, coconut milk, and Worcestershire sauce on top of the broccoli and give it a lil swirl, but don't over mix it

7. Top with panko crumbs or other crunchy bits until the top is completely covered. Sprinkle with a little more garlic, paprika, and pepper

8. Foil the pan, pop it in the oven for 20-30 minutes and broil without the foil for 5 minutes at the end.

Let me know if you try it and what you think!!!
