AMAZING fake chicken lasagna


Took a recipe from runner's world this month and made it vegan, and it was delicious!

Ingredients:
1 box lasagna cooked
4 cups of lightly fried fake chicken (I used morning star grillers)
1 1/2 teaspoons dried basil
12 ounces cream cheese, softened (I used tofutti cream cheese of course)
1/2 cup vegetable broth
3 cups pasta sauce
4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (Daiya fake mozzarella in this case)
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (and again, vegan fake parmesan)

Heat oven to 400° F.

Combine fake chicken, basil, 8 ounces of cream cheese, and 1/4 cup broth.

Mix remaining cream cheese and broth in a separate bowl.

Spread 1/3 cup marinara on the bottom of a lasagna dish
Assemble layers as follows from bottom to top:
noodles
sauce
fake chicken mixture
fake mozzarella
noodles
sauce
broth/cream cheese mixture
fake mozzarella
fake parmesan

Cover with foil and bake 45 minutes.

Leaving dish on same rack, turn oven to broil. Remove foil and broil until golden brown, 5 minutes.

Remove from oven; let sit for 10 minutes.

vegan (and not vegan) hawaiian pizza


Made an interesting pizza this week from the recipe online found at Boca's website...I had some vegan fake ground beef from Boca and I looked up some recipes from the site: went with the Hawaiin Pizza.
I used a pre-made vegan dough. The sauce was a layer of BBQ sauce.
Then I put chunks of pinapples and sliced green peppers on top of that.
Then I pit a layer of the fake ground beef.
Then I put a layer of mozzarella. To be nice, Mark and I split the pizza so my half had Daiya cheese and Mark's had some other regular cheese.
Bake at 400 for 15 minutes, and enjoy! Very filling and tasty!

Boil the water with the buillon cubes. Then add the garlic, seasoning, onion powder, and tomato paste. Once boiling again add the spaghetti a little at a time until all added.
Then add the fake ground beef. Once boiling again add the tomatoes. Cook on high until the pasta is soft and cooked.
I served it with a little bit of daiya fake mozzarella cheese.
