[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why were vegan dinners off the menu in the first place?
Life is long. Expand your palate and your repertoire. Learning is good for you. [/quote]

Perhaps I wasn't clear. I never meant to imply that vegan dinners weren't on our menu. We do, in fact, have several recipes that either are vegan or can be made vegan. But there is also another realm of food that I make that is vegetarian but not vegan, and I'm sad that those recipes won't be in my regular rotation.

If you have recipe suggestions that will help me expand my palate and repertoire, please share them. :)[/quote]

I totally get this, and in our household as well, I was keto for a while, so it added to the overall chaos. I basically always have a vegetable dish that everyone can eat, and I often make it pretty hearty. Sometimes we have bowls - so if I made poke bowls, for example, I would just use a vegan mayo as an ingredient in the sauce, salmon for most of us, tofu for her, and the rice and vegetables are vegan anyway. I use Earth Balance, Olive oil and vegan mayo in place of anything else I might use to roast, saute, or sauce. If I am making something like sausage, I would get impossible sausage and prep that too. It's not too bad, but maybe that's because I was always dairy free anyway![/quote]
