I have a really beautiful recipe for vegan brownies that I did before Christmas, but i'm not too sure how it stands regarding the calories. Then there's also a recipe I have for Chinese tofu rice salad, which is taken from Recipezaar.com....I can find the link if you like?

my fav places to get new recipes are  www.vegweb.com and www.fatfreevegan.com

I posted one on here for vegan shepherd's pie (that's what I made for myself for Xmas dinner) that was friggin' amazing.  Even my relatives ate some.

Try also http://www.veganfusion.com and click on "free recipes."  (This is where I got the shepherd's pie recipe from)  The recipes are taken from the menu of a restaurant in Hawaii called the Blossoming Lotus.  Some of them are kind of involved (they're from a gourmet restaurant!) but all of the ones that I've tried have come out wonderfully.  If you sign up for their email list you get new recipes every couple months.

I made an amazing pot pie Saturday night with tempeh, and the hubby and I had to restrain ourselves so we didn't eat the whole thing in one night!

Makes one deep dish pot pie, 8"-9" pie pan

Cut 8 oz tempeh into chicken-like chunks, marinate in veggie broth, a bit of apple cider vinegar, a ton of poutry seasoning (it's a spice mix), a splash of soy sauce, and two large cloves of garlic, pressed.  After that marinates for about 1.5 hours add water until the chunks are coverd at bake in a 350* oven for about 20 mins, stirring once.  Reserve baking liquid.

Chop up two carrots and one large potato into chunks.  Parboil for about 5-6 mins, until nearly tender.  Mix a good amount of frozen peas, carrots, potatoes, and tempeh and put into sprayed pie dish.

Throw about a tablespoon of olive oil in pan, mix with flour until a paste is formed (in other words, make a roux).  Plenty of pepper and some salt, and more poultry seasoning.  Slowly add tempeh liquid to roux, whisking to keep lumps from developing.  If that's not enough gravy add the water used to cook the veggies.  When there's enough gravy pour it over the stuff in the pie pan.

Make a crust from 3/4 cup flour and a scant 1/4 tsp of salt.  Cut 3 tablespoons shortening or other solid fat into the flour.  I also put a lot of poppy seeds in mine, but you do whatever you want.  Add a bit of cold water to the mixture until is makes a soft dough.  Roll dough out between two piece of waxed paper and put on top of pot pie.  Seal and all that.  Bake in a 400* oven for about 30-40 mins, let set 15-20 mins before eating.
