Everything tastes great with BBQ sauce! Haven’t tried tempeh yet? This is a great way to make it for the first time. It has a great chewy texture that will be great if you miss meat.

Vegan Black Bean Brownies
Vegan Dirty Rice with Vegan Ground Sausage and Mushrooms
No, this dirty rice isn't that dirty. No animal livers will be found here. Don't worry. That omission doesn't impact the amazing flavors of this side dish--that's perfect for a Mardi Gras celebration. I just substituted mushrooms for the chicken livers and made a TVP sausage to replace the pork sausage. Thanks, Emeril for the inspiration!
Vegan Chili
This is my favorite chili recipe! I made it long before I adopted a vegan diet. It was so easy to adapt. You can even kick up the heat by using hotter salsa and more Tabasco sauce. This vegan dish is perfect for Super Bowl Sunday. Your guests won’t even miss the meat. They might even think the TVP is meat.
