My regular readers know this is typically not a food blog. However, due to my laziness in trying out new recipes, I'm getting tired of the same old thing. So I recently added a new section to Vegan.FM/IsItVegan for recipes (Vegan.FM/Recipes).
In addition to the other sections of Is it Vegan which list vegan ingredients, alcohols, products, restaurants, and companies, anyone can add, edit, or delete recipes much like Wikipedia.
Recently, the site has been blessed with many user contributions to help readers like you to find delicious new recipes. I've taken a few of my favorite recipes to create a "vegan for a day" meal plan for anyone interesting in a strong start to a vegan transition or just looking for new meal ideas.

You couldn't be more self-absorbed if you cut off your own arm and ate it -- which you wouldn't do because you're lame-o vegan. There's more I,I,I's in your stories than there are on a spider's forehead. P.S. vegans smell funny. You all deny it but you smell like water you've boiled broccoli in. It's true.

The eggplant and pasta looks delicious!
My 4 y.o. girl just spotted the Mulligatawny with Chickpeas and asked if we could make it. :o)
Thanks for all you do to help other vegans and of course the animals.
