On this blog, I share what I eat, what I buy, what I wear – What I Vegan.
But I really love it when you show me what YOU vegan!
It makes me so happy to see the compassionate, healthy, earth-friendly and delicious vegan food both my vegan and non-vegan friends, family, and readers make and enjoy!
So today, I want to share that happiness with you by showcasing just a few of the drool-worthy vegan food made by others, including many recipe links!
Get ready to get hungry, friends!
Our dear friend Ben the Burnout Specialist made this flavorful Peanut-Tamarind Sweet Potato Curry from a Vegetarian Times recipe for dinner one night:
Beautiful and tasty!
My health-conscious, green goddess mama friend Lauren made this Green Powerhouse Pesto Plate from the blog Oh She Glows:
She made a few adjustments to the recipe, including using quinoa instead of millet, and adding tomatoes and olives! Yum!
My yogi friend Harriette made this Cannellini Bean Dip with Piquillo Peppers from this Oprah.com recipe. Just leave out the anchovies to make it vegan!
I just want to dive in!
My sis-in-law Laura, who’s a genius cook and nurse extraordinaire, made this hearty Smoky Red and Black Chili from The Sweet Life blog:
Kale Yeah!
My friend Jon, who did a vegan Paleo diet experiment, made this gorgeous Tofu and Potato Adobo Stew:
This Filipino stew is perfect for a cold day!
My Mom, who has a magic touch in the kitchen, made this simple, fresh pasta salad. She makes up recipes as she goes, so here’s a link to a Pinterest board full of vegan pasta salad recipes to try!
How pretty and summery!
My lovely vegan friend Kelsey, who’s fabulous at making up mouth-watering recipes, made this vegan plate of home-made seitan, garden-grown kale, Brussels sprouts, sundried tomatoes and shallots in a garlicky broth over mashed potatoes:
Holy kale!
She even provided the instructions:
Saute 6 sliced shallots in 2T olive oil over medium heat for 7 minutes. Add 8 oz. halved Brussels and sauté 3 more minutes (add extra olive oil if needed). Add 4 minced cloves garlic, ½ t. each dried thyme, dried basil and salt, ¼ t. dried tarragon, and black pepper. Saute a minute, then add ½ c. sun dried tomatoes (I used packed in olive oil, but rinsed). Stir in 2 c. seitan (bite-sized).
Add 2 c. veggie broth and ¼ c. red wine. When liquid boils, add 4 c. chopped kale. Cover and simmer 5-7 minutes. Serve over garlic and onion mashed Yukon Gold potatoes.
And ending on a sweet note, here are vegan Blackberry Cheesecake Oreo Bars that Jon made using this recipe.
Tweaking the recipe, he subbed blackberries for raspberries to make this magic.

I have a Facebook album of What YOU Vegan guest photos!
And I really want to see your photos!
Next time you make or order a vegan meal, snap a quick pic before you dig in to the deliciousness, then post it on my page and let me know!
It will make me so happy, and I’ll give you a big cyber high-five! 🙂
To What YOU Vegan!

What I Vegan 
Loved that dish! And that sharing so many others on what we vegan!!
I forgot about that recipe I sent out! It was good – I need to make it again!
so many good eats here, yum!
Thanks, Kristina! I love your spabettie blog and vegan recipes! Thank you for sharing them with the world!
I’m drooling just thinking about it!
Thanks for trying out such delicious vegan recipes when we come over for dinner!
Hi Sarah! I’ve been following your blog for a while now and I find it very inspiring. So when you posted your TV-appearance and I saw that you recommended “the Vegan Table” I went out and bought it. Chloe’s Kitchen has been my go-to book but I’ve made pretty much everything in there twice so it was time for a new book. I made the tempeh pate today because I love tempeh and really miss pate and… it was disgusting 😦 Can you recommend which recipes in this book you would start with? Which are your favorites? It would really help, I’m not sure where to start 🙂
Thank you, Rose! I appreciate your kind words, and as you know, I love Chloe’s Kitchen too! So for The Vegan Table – sorry you didn’t like the tempeh pate! I haven’t tried that one. I find trying new recipes can be like roulette – a bit of a gamble, but often worth it! My favorite recipes from this book are Swiss Chard and Caramelized Onions, Garlic and Greens soup, Steamed Artichokes with the dipping sauces, Better-Than-Tuna salad, Muhammara (add some olive oil), the No-Queso Quesadillas (probably my very favorite one!), Chana Masala, Tomato-Basil-Arugula Bruschetta, and to drink, the Lavender Lemonade is amazing. Hope that gets you started! Let me know how it goes!
Thank you SO much! We’re having the no queso quesadillas for a late lunch right now and they’re superyummy 🙂 I will be making all of the recipes you’ve listed here 🙂 I just want to say again how inspiring you are to me. I live in a dairy-obsessed country (http://stuffdutchpeoplelike.com/2010/12/03/24-dairy/) and grew up on cheese. When I went vegan last april your blog was the first one on the subject that I read. I have to admit I’ve fallen of the wagon twice since then because of cheese 😦 But then I read your “miss cheese” article and I remember how you say it’s about intention not perfection and I start again. Just wish we had Daiya over here 😉 Keep up the good work Sarah, I’m sure you’re touching more peoples’ lives than you realize. And recipe-ideas are always very welcome 😉
Thank you so much, Rose, for sharing your story with me. I’m so uplifted to know I’ve helped you! We all fall off the wagon sometimes; what matters is we get back up and on it, for the reasons that are important to us, which you did! And it’s even more difficult since you live in dairy country, so you should be uber proud of yourself. You. are. AWESOME!!! And I’m glad you liked the quesadillas! They’re easy and quick, which is a big plus. Maybe I’ll start recommending and linking a recipe in each blog post! Thank you again!
