Vegan Cooking from the Flying Laptop: Easy Vegetarian Cooking

At 16 , my daughter Heather, came to me and said she wanted to be a "vegan". Having had 5 children and seen where these children could and would hide food if they didn't want to eat it. I decided to accept this challenge and learn everything I could so she would be healthy. I confess i didn't know much about "vegan eating" except I had a 20 year old cockatiel that ate nothing but nuts, grain and berries. This could not be that much harder. My daughter , Heather, ate this diet and food combo over 9 years and was healthy. Lots of dark green vegetables, fresh fruit, grains, and watch the sugar. The recipes are no meat, egg, and some with no dairy. Heather drank "organic plain soy milk"; seldom having dairy but she loved her ice cream, cheese and yogurt (yogurt is easier to digest then milk). Where I add peanut butter, or nuts, any topping as jam, fruit flavored cream cheese, etc, be be used. Some of these recipes you may have seen before and may be slightly modified (no eggs) and fit the Vegetarian Lifestyle. These are Heather's favorites and some of the foods she cooked . The food is fast, quick, and inexpensive.
