Just because your non-vegan friends have the grill fired up and weenies cooking over bonfires doesn't mean you can't enjoy some delicious and easy vegan recipes. Examiners from all over the country have been busy touting their favorite feasts and foods for summer, so here's just a sample:

 | Alyse Smith Atlanta Vegan Examiner |
Atlanta Vegan Examiner Alyse Smith published this sweet and simple recipe as her personal favorite. Vegans, how many times have you been turned down from a bowl of spaghetti or pasta because the noodles are egg, coated with butter or slathered with alfredo sauce? Instead, Smith uses simple, healthy alternatives like olive oil, wheat noodles, and red sauce.
 | Erica Meier D.C. Vegan Examiner |
According to D.C. Vegan Examiner Erica Meier, the post Easter season (now,) is the time when the egg industry has to keep up with its abrupt decrease of demand. This means heavier marketing to purchase eggs stolen from chickens who are routinely exploited no matter how big or small the farm. Meier combats with a couple of her favorite eggless recipes such as her Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies.
 | Sara Jelley Denver Vegan Examiner |
Denver Vegan Examiner Sara Jelley will make your mouth water over her recipes and resources for making vegan waffles. Like pancakes, making waffles vegan requires a simple substitution of one emulsifier (egg) for another (baking soda/ground flax/banana/Ener-G, etc.) Jelley also reviews an entire website devoted to making vegan pancakes. Grab your iron, a mixing bowl, and read this guide.
 | Alice McCart Kansas City Vegan Examiner |
Kansas City Vegan Examiner Alice McCart is already prepared for zucchini to come into season with this hot recipe. This is also a very flexible one in that it's forgiving of almost any way its spiced. As McCart explains, it's also a great make-before-work meal because it's so easy to make yet so filling.

 | Seth Joseph N.Y. Vegan Examiner |
N.Y. Vegan Examiner Seth Joseph has a secret. In striking similarity to myself, he likes cheap and healthy but doesn't like the cleanup. His weapon of choice for such a lifestyle is his rice cooker, a oft forgotten vestige of food technology. In Joseph's review, he'll show you how a simple rice cooker is as good as any Ron Pompeil gizmo.
 | Ed Coffin Philadelphia Vegan Examiner |
I can't say I've ever had crab cakes but Philadelphia Vegan Examiner Ed Coffin's photos look pretty darn good. These scrumptious patties require a little bit of mixing, spicing, and baking and can be served with Coffin's vegan hollandaise sauce as well. Coffin also runs the Eating Consciously blog where he interviews vegan writers and events. You'll also find some of his recipes and resoureces there.
 | Catherine Capozzi Phoenix Vegan Examiner |
Phoenix Vegan Examiner Catherine Capozzi takes a look at the new fad for raw foods, cacao--a chocolate-like raw food rich in antioxidants. But as Capozzi explains, even though the chemicals in cacao "make us ridiculously happy," don't confuse it for a Hershey's bar. Cacao requires specific preparation and complementation. All this is explained in detail in the above article.
 | Becca Bartleson Portland Vegan Examiner |
Hummus is one of those dishes that you will love the first time you try it, even if you're a hardy meat-eater. Portland Vegan Examiner Becca Bartleton cuts to the chase with her own personal recipe "you'll salivate over." This is an especially good recipe for starting with dried beans which makes for an unmistakable difference in taste. If you like recipes like this, you may also want to look into investing in a pressure cooker.

 | Virginia Messina Seattle Vegan Examiner |
It's disheartening to think animal industries will go so far as to declare months for themselves. As Seattle Vegan Examiner Virginia Messina reports, June is just such a month for the dairy industry. It's made even more futile to celebrate this consumer holiday when so many non-violent options are widely available. Check out Messina's post for an in-depth look at vegan cheeses, yogurts, and beverages reviewed from her experience as a dietitian and as a vegan who's tried it all.
 | Mary Vincent S.F. Vegan Examiner |
Cooling down from the summer heat shouldn't call for a milkshake but a refreshing and sweet beverage. San Francisco Vegan Examiner Mary Vincent reports R.W. Knudsen's Sparkling Beverages are not only vegan but apparently can be won! Check out her article for details.
 | Elizabeth Holli Wood Tampa Bay Vegan Examiner |
While there's an obviously non-vegan ingredient in conventional French Toast, the taste is really in the bread, sugar and spices. That's why, as Tampa Vegan Examiner Elizabeth Holli Wood has discovered, French Toast can be made satisfactorily using only vegan ingredients. Here's a dish to make for your non-vegan friends, but don't tell them it's vegan!
