kiwi Joined: 01/03/11 Location: New Zealand Posts: 405	I need some ideas Posted Thursday, October 4, 2012 at 2:14 PM i am looking for some new ideas for a change - For those of you who eat bread (sandwiches) or toast, what spreads do you use? I make my own hummus but sometimes I feel like a change. I don't like jams/jellies - too much sugar. Im not a fan of nut butters. There is usually too much oil (although there is a sunflower one that I like but I dont let myself eat too much because of the oil content). I dont want to use margarine if I can help it because it is so processed. I dont want to use an organic natural butter becasue its not vegan. But dry toast is no fun. What's left?

It's very good on toast or English muffins. I happen to be out of it right now or I would give you the name of it. I'm sure there are other apple butters that have no added sugar or artificial sweeteners. Vikki ~ Wild4Stars@gmail.com

It is delicious! I have the idea from a book called vegan bite by bite. There is also a recipe in it called Mock Liver Pate which makes a great sandwich spread. 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 large onion (2 cups) diced small 2 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon garlic, minced 10 medium button mushrooms, sliced 11?4 cup walnuts 1?2 cup frozen peas (Stage 2) or 1 – 15 ounce can of peas (Stage 1) 21?2 teaspoons sea salt 1?4 teaspoon black pepper, ground Tiny pinch cayenne pepper MIX in BLENDER Any more would be a lack of respect to the author. I highly recommend the book. madeline yakimchuk Director: MEET IRENE - An Unlikely Vegan GRYPHON media productions www

Hi Kiwi - have you tried tempeh in a sandwich?Divine! Or see if you can find a product called "daiya" in your cheese or deli section. It's a "cheese" made from pea protein and makes the most awesome grilled cheese sandwich. (it comes in cheddar, mozzarella or pepper jack flavours) You won't want to eat this too often but on occasion - Y.U.M. Or grill a portabella mushroom and put in a bun with some red onion, pickle and a little sugar-free ketchup...Y.U.M. Hope this helps! All we are saying is "Give Peas a Chance"

kiwi Joined: 01/03/11 Location: New Zealand Posts: 405	RE: I need some ideas Posted Thursday, October 4, 2012 at 8:45 PM Thanks for the great ideas. I was getting bored with my usual fare. Unfortunately no Daiya cheese in New Zealand. We do get the UK cheesley imported which is good in small amounts but expensive. There is another brand of soy cheese that I wouldnt feed to an animal - yuck. I guess someone must buy it since it is still being made. I will look for an apple butter with no added sugar and try some temph on my toast. Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food - Hippocrates.
