I did the impossible and actually got a gf. Problem is that she’s a hard vegan and won’t eat anything involving animal products nor will she eat anything with fructose corn syrup because she thinks it messes with her spiritual energy or some shit. NEED HELP ASAP. WHAT CAN I MAKE HER??? DATE IN THREE DAYS!!!

Easiest recipes are the Italian knockoffs. Vegetable lasagna is super easy. Any pasta dish is simple. If you google vegan stuffed shells, you'll probably find a bunch of really nice recipes. If you want to be extra gay and do squash noodles or something you can. The Whole Foods by me sells sweet potato and zucchini noodles n shit for lazy fucks, some place by you might have something similar.

I would look Asian next if you/she don't like Italian. Noodle broths can be done vegan (they won't be as good but whatever) and it's pretty easy to pull off, just prep the broth and throw your noodles/veg in. Wa la. Alternatives are any stir fry (look up tofu dishes, mapo tofu knockoffs, kung pao tofu, etc.). Mushrooms are really, really good here.

If you're giga-retarded and the above two options don't work somehow, you can resort to doing a basic ass loaded salad. Beets are easy, really good roasted, and pretty hearty. I would look up thai salad recipes, those tend to be massive and can work as an entre if you load up.

And if somehow you're the most retarded person alive, just eat out. Don't try to pretend to be something you're not, because if you cook for her once she's gonna expect you to do it again, and that's gonna fuck you in the ass. She sounds retarded though so hopefully you're smart enough to pump and dump.

Radical idea: talk to her and listen. What does she like? Try to make that.

Vegetable soup and crusty sourdough bread, man. You'll want to have a good olive oil and fresh herbs to rub into the bread, and it's probably essential that you already have a decent starter growing.

A number of "vegans" I've met are perfectly fine eating locally hunted game, since they object to CAFO farming, not eating the fuzzy creatures. Again, listen, but you'd have to already have harvested an animal.

Literally just make mushroom pasta sauce you goddamn faggioli
NEEDS: Decent Olive Oil, San Marzano Whole Peeled Tomato can, Vegetable Broth 1/2 White Onion, 8 to 6 oz good mushrooms, garlic, Decent Spanish Red Wine like a Monastrell, Flour Tortillas, and spanish rice mix

START AT NOON
>Oil in minimum 2~qt saucepan
>Precrush canned tomato in separate bowl; remove pit areas where it meets the vine, easy to spot
>Rinse and chop mushroom (use maitake) leave in colander
>Grate onion on box grater while weeping
(WHITE!!!!) and leave w/ juice on cutting board
>Heat on at medium for oil, mince garlic on onion cutting board
>Add garlic, cook until you smell it filling the air and just as it browns in color
>Quench with onion, stir until it starts to dry out
>Splash of Barolo Wine, recork and save the rest for dinner
>Cook out more liquid, add tomatoes, stir well and bring to simmer before reducing heat to low
>Stir every 20 mins as you prepare for her arrival; serve with flour tortillas, spanish rice made with the veggie broth instead of canned tomato, and save the rest of the sauce to have some goddamn pasta with meat

Veggie stir fry with tempeh is an easy bet. You can use this guide as a rule of thumb which vegetables you should cook first and which vegetables you should cook later: https://www.healwithfood.org/chart/pressure-cooking-times-vegetables.php
Use grapeseed oil as a reasonably cheap, healthy, high smoke point cooking oil. Use a variety of spices (my go-to's: cayenne pepper, pink sea salt, ginger powder, onion powder, coriander, garlic powder) while cooking. Use as much as you like or as little as necessary (especially salt). I season the water for noodles and use warm water and cook the noodles with the water. The process of cooking noodles should take about 15 minutes. The process of cooking the main meal should be done at about 3-4 minutes per layer of vegetables (give or take). Mix the noodles in at the very last layer and garnish with lime to add vibrant. I keep everything near the center of the pan for less burning and more even cooking. I use two pans for the quantity of vegetables used. My go-to vegetables are broccoli, carrots, mushrooms, jalapeno peppers, onions, raw garlic, and sometimes artichokes. I don't use okra or asparagus because those have terrible shelf life.

>> No.19530312

My other go-to recipes (all my recipes use sweet onions btw):

>Hummus
One can garbanzo beans, two limes, carrots, onions, walnuts, jalapeno peppers, raw garlic, tahini, and sometimes key limes and bell peppers
Ginger powder, onion powder, garlic powder, coriander, cayenne pepper, pink sea salt
Put everything in a food processor (partially chopped to save space if necessary) and chop and grind (or whatever settings you have) for about one and a half minutes. The consistency is weird but it's hearty.

>Guacamole
Avacadoes, raw garlic, onions, jalapeno peppers, limes, and sometimes cilantro, key limes, and roma tomatoes if I can be assed to cut them
Pink sea salt, ginger powder, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and sometimes coriander and harissa seasoning
I chop everything finely and use a clean meat tenderizer in a stainless steel bowl to process the food chunkier than you can get in a food processor. I also chop with the knife a bit once all the food is in the bowl (before using the meat tenderizer).

>> No.19530328

>>19528840
Be careful with lentils. The easy-cook lentils ALWAYS gave me food poisoning and the bulk lentils could probably work with overnight soaking, but I'm paranoid because my dad cooked them and always fucked them up somehow (but I don't think he soaked overnight). Similar deal with wild rice, only I think that's even harder to prepare. I know store-bought pre-cooked lentils are fine, though, but I wish there was a cheaper and easier way to cook these shits.

>> No.19530349

>>19528445
At this point, I'm vegan not for the animals or environment (since these are lost causes), but because I can't be assed to adapt my taste buds, I always feel bogged down when eating meat of any kind, it makes dishes smell like shit, it makes the trash smell even worse if you leave it sitting there, milk rots worse than soy milk, it's expensive, there's sodium nitrite or other suspicious additives in most of it, etc.

Lifelong vegetarian here who quit literally a week ago.
Being vegetarian my whole life messed me up pretty good, i suspect i got POIS from it and (i suspect) i lost the best years of my life because of it. My parents got away with it for a long time, my mother doesn't have any issues but my dad is generally pretty tired. Because i'm basically second generation i am the one suffering because of it. I'm pretty sure this can affect fertility too.

Even though i care about the wellbeing of animals i have to admit to eating it. I believe the best and most just method of getting meat is hunting straight from nature (in terms of quality and animal wellbeing).
