  • Most veggie/vegan natural stores sell it. Just a dried protein. A slight generic flavour to it like cereal. It absorbs flavour from your sauces or marinades. Here it is about $8-$12 for a bag that will last quite a few meals. But we found an Indian grocery story that sells it as Soya Wadi and its only about $3 per bag. Same stuff. Either in big chunks or ground up into ground beef size bits.

    Goes well into tacos, chilli, shephards pie, etc.

    Daal mostly depends on what you cook with it, besides the lentil themselves, like a tomato based sauce, yogurt, lemon, etc. The black lentils stay the firmest and have texture after cooking, the red lentils will cook down to a paste…and there are a ton of other types.










  • Chilli is always an easy one, and most stores sell a dried ground up TVP to toss in instead of Ground Beef.

    My typical go to is an Indian style lentil soup with a variety of lentil types and mixed be. I find it simple because I set it on simmer for half hour or so, and fry up the veg to toss in for the final simmer. ( Daal Fry )

    I work from home so getting dinner started , or oven going is easy to monitor; so I’m not the best person to ask for simple meals.

    If you go to my account and click posts, you’ll see 90% of them are vegan dinner dishes.







  • I don’t understand why businesses don’t predict this downward spiral. I recall a city with crap bus infrastructure saying ridership was down so they had to increase fares. So then a while later, oh ridership is lower again, let’s increase fares. Duh, its down because the routes suck and you’ve increased the barrier to choosing to use it. SMH
