Frogurt's vegan pumpkin soup:
Ingredients:

1 Large Onion
3 Garlic cloves
Vegetable stock

500ml of soy milk (regular milk for vegetarians)

1.Slice onions and roughly cut garlic cloves, add to large pot on high heat with olive oil (cook until slight browning)
2. Flesh pumpkin and cut potato into cubes
3. Add Pumpkin, Potato, Spices and Vegie stock (enough to submerge ingredients) to pot, medium heat until potatoes are soft
4. Ladel ingredients into blender (Try not to get too much stock in the blender or soup will be watery, you should have some left over in the pot)
5. Bend until creamy while adding milk, usually takes 2 loads of blending
6. Serve in large bowl, sprinkle coriander and drop of milk in the centre because it looks cool.

1. Slice Potatoes into cubes and Carrots into sticks
2. Flesh corn cob and save kernels in a bowl
2. Add potatoes and carrots to a large saucepan in some water, turn heat on high

4. Cook on high heat until vegetables are kind of soft
5. Drain water and add coconut cream
6. Add onion, peas, corn and spices
7. Cook on medium while stirring, until vegetables are soft
8. Serve with rice

Pad Thai-
3 Tbsp tamarind paste (again, go to the Asian food store )
3 Tbsp ketchup
2 Tbsp brown sugar
2 Tbsp soy sauce

Stiry-fry half a block of tofu with a few chopped cloves of garlic, then add some sliced carrots and broccoli florets. Soak rice noodles in hot water, and add the noodles when they're done plus the sauce. Put in about a cup of beansprouts, and some chopped green onions. Add egg if you want at the end, then eat with chopped peanuts and crushed red chili flakes =D

Teriyaki Tofu and Vegetables- Just stiry fry some tofu, mushrooms, broccoli and sliced (or shredded) carrots, plus a healthy amount of beansprouts. Put on rice, pour on some teriyaki sauce and add some spicy chili sauce. So good..

3 large beets
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon parsley
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder


Cook at 375 flipping as needed until crunchy.

Broccoli Salad
1 head broccoli
1/2 cup chopped red onion
8 ounces sharp Cheddar, shredded
1 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1/4 cup sugar

Vegetable broth
6 carrots
3 onions
3 stalks celery
salt & pepper
some herbs (thyme, basil, parsley, whatever)
1 bay leaf
6 cloves of garlic
1 cup white wine

Crush the garlic cloves with the side of your knife, and roughly chop the vegetables. Add all ingredients except the wine to a large pot. Cover with water (I usually add a little more here). Bring everything to a boil and simmer for an hour. Remove from heat and add the wine. Let it cool for a while. If you have time you can leave it overnight. Then pour everything through a strainer and divide into smaller portions for freezing. Done!

- You basically take half cup of almonds
- blend with cup of water
- add 3 bananas, blend
- optionally add some strawberries or kiwi or whatever fruit in the amount you want. I prefer about 5-10 strawberries.
