Vegan menu ideas?

Thanks, Janice! Those sound great.
I, of course, will have to try any of these out ahead of time. I have a habit of trying brand-new recipes out on unsuspecting guests, with very mixed results!
I've promised to my DH that I would use him as my official taste-tester before trying out anything new!
For dessert...my friend actually makes Goya Flan with vanilla soy milk that comes out really good. No egg in the flan mix, so that may be what I do. But PM me the brownie recipe, if you can. That sounds like a good option, too.

I use this recipe: http://www.ivu.org/recipes/northam/the-best.html

Just be sure not to bake them too long, or they turn into cake.

I'd love the vegan flan recipe, if you don't mind sharing. It's been so long, I think I've forgotten how wonderful flan is.

Thanks for the link! My SO and I are trying our darnedest to eat vegan but we keep stumbling. Next thing on our list is to buy a food processor since so many of the recipes call for one (BTW - I tried a blender instead and it wasn't pretty ).

That's good to know, Queen. I don't have a food processor, either (well, we have this ancient screech-y thing called an "Oscar" - I think - that might be one, but I dread pulling it out of the pantry. It's awful.), and was plotting to pull out the blender - which is also awful in its own right.

RE: Flan, Janice - it's just the Goya box brand...available at any Giant or Safeway (maybe Whole Foods, I don't know). Goya is the same company that makes beans and other Greek or Mediterranean (sp?) foods. It's probably in the "ethnic" section of the store where the pudding/pie filling boxes would be. My vegan friend served it at a recent party of hers, and it was quite a hit - partially for the "You're serving flan?" "But it's vegan! No eggs!" aspect, and also cuz it was good!

I might be too late but did you see the posting for "African Sweet Potato Stew"?
It was super delicious and vegan. Yum!

Since I'm home for a snow day, I just made a chickpea/onion/broccoli/carrot casserole...it smells amazing!
