This would be great for my son in college

I am a hideous cook, and although I graduated from college in 2002, I still haven't progressed much from how I used to "cook" (and I use the term loosely) then.
What I survived on then is what I survive on now: baked potaoes and/or Ramen. True, the potatoes now come from a CSA and the Ramen has branched off into the entire instant noodle area at Whole Foods and Trader Joe's, but the sould still remains the same. They're cheap, they're quick, they're yummy and even I can make them without setting the apartment on fire. Hooray!

My favorite recipe is waffles with margarine and tofu chicken drumsticks. I know it's not really that creative or anything but I really, really like waffles.

I love sandwiches!

Tomato, lettuce, and avocado sandwich!

I have to say my favorite "easy snack" would have to be edamame. its so good! all you do is boil water and put some salt on top and your set!
I love the idea of an easy vegan cookbook by the way, sounds delicious.

Honestly, my favorite vegan dorm room food is a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. It's quick, easy, and you can take it to go.

As for something more fulfilling - I tend to be a fan of avocado tacos. All you need to do is heat up the tortillas in a microwave. Mix some avocado with lemon and toss it together. Of course, you can add whatever veggies or sauces you have on hand.

banana pudding cake! it's the only desert i can't mess up.

-graham cracker crust
-sliced bananas
-chocolate chips
(dark/semi-sweet)
-banana pudding (tofutti cream cheese, vanilla extract, mashed bananas, sweetener, lemon juice, salt)

My favorite dinner is a microwaved sweet potato with tons of cumin. Soooo good.

I love cooking, but also have busy nights that it's nice to just warm something in the microwave!

My daughter goes off to college this fall. She has been a vegetarian for several years now. This book would be perfect for her!

One of my faves is a faux chicken wrap. Whole wheat tortillas with a microwaved morningstar chick patty cut up into strips or pieces, with veggies and hummus spread all wrapped up. Healthy and delicious!

My favorite is probably
Peanut-butter, you use a spoon and eat from the glass. And add salt on it is fast and healthy :D
ummy
Or bulgur steaks with mint-dressing

My ex-boyfriend and I used to make these DISTURBINGLY carb-crazy potato pasta when we were in grad school and he was living in an apartment with no kitchen. It was essentially angel hair pasta, diced and seasoned potatoes, onions, and soy sauce, all cooked up on his hot plates. It was SOOO salty that I'd get a headache almost every time I ate it. But we loved it.

PB&J with potato chips in the sandwich. Hands down

i want this book!!

fave quick meal:

french roll cut open stuffed with veganaise, avocado slices, alfalfa sprouts, tomato slices, cucumber slices, and occasionally some tofurkey.

rad!!

-brendan

My favorite dorm meal was ramen noodles with frozen vegetables. Just nuke it and serve. It was about all I could handle in my micro-fridge.

This is what I've been waiting for! Men's Health has a college cookbook, but nothing is vegan. :[ THANK YOU!

Definitely nachos. I take some good corn tortilla chips, a can of black beans, a jar of salsa, and an avocado and heat in the microwave. Sometimes I sprinkle lime juice over the beans. If I have access to it, I might put some good soy cheese and soy sour cream on top, but usually the avocado is enough to add creaminess.

dorm-favorite would have to be pb&j! nothing quite like it!

When I lived in my sorority house and was kitchenless, other than a microwave, I used to snack on raw green beans, baked potatoes, and a lot of popcorn.
Now, my favorite "kitchenless" snack is homemade guacamole, salsa, and corn chips.

My favorite dorm room food was ramen noodles, hot sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil and some steamed broccoli that I used to steal from the dining hall! yummy actually I could go for that right now... =)

Veggie chili!! Easy to make and DELICIOUS.

my favorite is a tomato mozzarella and basil sandwich. yumtastic!

Taste of Thai box noodles saved my life. I would cube in some tofu from the school convenience store and some veggies from the salad bar if I was feeling really culinarily inclined.

this book would be perfect for me! I'm a second year college student about to go off the campus meal plan, and i'm scared to death of ovens! I need some quick, easy, animal friendly recipes so this book would be a godsend

I lived on Subway sandwiches and instant noodles in a cup when I was in college. Grilled cheese is a good standby, but when I discovered falafel, it was all over... Definitely my fave. :P

Being a new vegetarian I would like some recipes that can be done in the microwave thats fast and easy.

can vegetarian hormel chili... i know, i know, TONS of preservatives, but quick and warm in a cold michigan dorm room

Easy, no-cook black bean salad; great in wraps, too! 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained, 1 cup frozen (or canned) corn, 1 tablespoon olive or canola oil, 1 tablespoon balsamic vinaigrette, chopped green onions, and chopped cilantro. You can make lots of variations but it is a great protein source and lasts for days getting more yummy marinating in the fridge.

i would have to say making a pb&j is the easiest thing, but I mostly would make a bowl of whole wheat pasta with some steamed veggies from a bag... Sometimes I would even throw in some faux chicken for some protein. I am in my second year of college and love being a vegetarian but sometimes its SO hard to find decent food on campus... This book is such an awesome idea!

I always liked to just throw down a piece of whole wheat toast and smother it with vegetarian baked beans, paired with a whole avacodo. I still like to do that, but then 8 years later I'm STILL in college. :(

would be amazing to have quick healthy yummy new dishes!

:)

A pint of dairy-free chocolate sorbet!

Sliced potatoes with garlic and onions in a saute pan with a little olive oil. Ghetto but good.

My favorite meal in college was veggie chili.
I used one can of Kidney beans, 1 can of Mexican Style stewed tomatoes, a white onion, a chopped up Serrano chili pepper, and simmered it with Chili Powder, Onion powder, and Garlic Salt. I would either simmer it for twenty-five minutes for a fast meal or let it cook in the crock pot all day and dream of warm chili all day until I got home. Then top it with Soy cheddar and tofu sour cream, chopped scallions, and black olives. Serve with tortilla chips or Fritos.
YUMMY!

Veg sushi! Pre-cooked rice from TJ's, nori sheets, almond butter (yum), add any veggies you love (carrot, cuke, avo) roll it up and it it like a burrito. Delicious!

My favorite is TVP mixed with spaghetti sauce and sauteed veggies on top of spaghetti squash. You get the delish of the sauce and the veggies without all the extra weight of actual spaghetti!

I absolutely love seasoned tempeh, cukes, lettuce & hummus wraps. It's quick, easy and filing. LOVE THEM!

This book would be great for me, since I am heading to college in a few months.

My dorm has a kitchen, so my favourite has to be quick stirfries - chickpeas, frozen vegetables, some olive oil and salt over rice, yum.

Otherwise it's got to be sandwiches with lots of mustard, spinach, sprouts, cucumber, and onion!

macaroni and cheese with celery and aspharagus

My favorite microwave meal is chocolate cake in the microwave! It is basically WW flour, one banana mashed up, vanilla extract, cocoa powder, and chocolate chips! You can also be creative by using almonds, coconut flakes etc. Thanks for the opportunity!

Back in the day at Kent State I was the queen of "fluffernutters"! My dorm mates could not get enough! I had my own spin on this classic treat! I'd spread smooth peanut butter on a piece of plain pita bread, then add a generous layer of marshmallow fluff, and then a layer of freshly sliced bananas. I'd top it all off with cinnamon sugar and then place it in the toaster oven until the fluff and cinnamon sugar got browned and crispy...delish!! Ah, those were the days!!

This would be great for me, i have been a vegetarian for about 10 years and collect veg*
n cook books, however since i'm always so busy with school, or work i hardly have the time to cook anything so something fast and easy would sure be useful.

One thing I would love to eat when I got home from Uni for lunch was freshly cooked pasta drowned in olive oil with some salt and pepper, if I was feeling a bit more adventurous I would also put in some fresh crushed garlic &/or chilli flakes. I still eat this 15 years later for a quick lunch/snack. As they say the simple things in life are often the best!

A rice cooker that also steams veggies is clutch!

pb n j baby:)

One of my favourites is green beans with cinnamon and sugar baked up in a microwave. I also like cutting up an apple into pieces, and mixing it with cinnamon sugar in a bowl, then nuking that for a few minutes. It's like apple pie!

I like making rice-a-roni in my microwave in my dorm.

As a college student who's short on money but splurges on nutritional foods, I have come up with a wonderful daily treat that allows me to get in all 9 servings of fruits and veggies daily, without an oven at all! Plus, its vegan!

Super Sensational Smoothie

1 cup Almond Breeze unsweetened almond milk
1 cup strawberries, fresh or frozen
1 cup frozen or fresh blueberries
1 banana broken in pieces
1 apple, chopped in quarters
1 cup broccoli, raw
1 cup raw spinach
2 tbsp. 100% unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tbsp. peanut butter or almond butter or sunflower butter
1/2 cup frozen sweet peas
1/2 cup carrots
1 plum
4 tbsp. ground flaxseed
2 tbsp. chia seeds
1 tbsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. nutmeg
1 tbsp. fresh or ground ginger

Blend all in a blender. Add each item one by one until blender is full. Everything will not fit at one time, so I add one by one until the blender is full and then divide the mix between 4 different glasses ( they won't be full yet). Add the remaining ingredients to the blender and add 1 additional cup of almond milk to blend well. Divide the rest between the remaining space in the 4 glasses.

I drink this 4 times a day and in case the rest of my day is crazy and I can't eat a complete meal, I at least know I have had a daily dose of my vitamins and minerals by drinking this drink. Plus, its a great protein supply!

Because I am limited with time and a microwave at work I have made a delicious wrap with vegan chicken strips (in a bowl with garlic, herbs, and olive oil), with lettuce and vegan cheese. Not very original. Which is why I could really use this book. Due to faulty gas lines I don't have a stove or an oven in my house either. I could gain alot of useful recipies from this book.

Hi! Enjoy your site but don't understand why you have links to other sites that promote eating meat (yuccch!)... I refer to "Becks & Posh" which actually has photos of executed poultry on it (again: yuccch). Did you not research this thoroughly? I haven't clicked on any other links but jeesh! What is the name of your blog again?!?!?!

I love good ol' pb and jelly sandwiches.

drained canned cannelini beans + chopped cilantro + grated garlic + lemon juice + olive oil + s&p

on top of a salad

got this idea from T.J's.... Pita chips, hummus with corn salsa on top - talk about no ingredients and delish!!

I know how horrible college eating options can be, believe me!!! I definitely have tried to eat healthy but it's hard when you don't have a lot of money in your pocket. this book would be GREATLY appreciated and would be put to good use. Who knows maybe my parents will decide that going vegan ain't so bad;)

My favorite dorm food is rice with soy beans (steamed edamame popped out of the shells) with some Japanese nori seasoning. I owe it all to my Japanese roommate Kira who clued me into the wonders of rice! We love our rice cooker and we use it well.

Of course, currently my favorite dorm snack is Dandies vegan marshmallows with Rice Milk Almond Chocolate. You can't go wrong!

We Treat Animals and Human as Living beings....

My favorite college-friendly recipe is one I learned from a college classmate.

Slice up some extra firm tofu into rectangles of your size preference (I like mine long enough to dip, but wide enough to put on a sandwhich, and thick enough to hold themselves together.) Then just crush up some old (or fresh) crackers, add some salt and any herbs or spices (Spike seasoning was a friend of mine in college.) Now heat a thin layer of oil in a pan or fire up your grill, cover the tofu in the crumb mixture on every side, and cook it on the pan or grill until you see some golden-to-dark brown on the breading. Then flip each piece and cook that side the same way. Dip it in your favorite teriyaki, peanut, mustard, or hot sauce and enjoy! My boyfriend and I even used this camping once and it was amazing. Its great for using up stale crackers.

I love soy buffalo wings! I love the hint of spice. They are great for everyone, even my non-vegetarian friends love them. I'd love the book because I want to switch from a regular vegetarian to a vegan and a cookbook like that would help a lot.

I like to make a big batch of a yummy bean salad -- it lasts for a few days worth of a quick and healthy meal!

Great idea for a cookbook! I joke on occasion that I became a vegan out of laziness during college. Meat took too long to cook in a dorm's community kitchen. My fave go-to meal is steamed frozen veggies over tofu spritzed with Braggs and sprinkled with nutritional yeast. Forget marinating or baking the tofu, same flavors in 1/2 the time :)

This cookbook is just what I need!! I enjoy making veggie wraps. So quick and easy, but they look like you know what you're doing.

Spaghettios are also a staple food.

I don't know why but I remember a lot of evenings with the hamburger helper and capri sun. LOL. I'm so glad I don't eat like that anymore.

microwave popcorn sprinkled with nutritional yeast....mmmmm....served as a full meal on several occassions.

soy burgers. I know you probably think u have to stick them on the grill, but if u open the bag, pop them in the microwave, and nuke them; they taste just as good, maybe better. I like mine w/ ketchup and tomato on a whole wheat bun.

The college kid staple of course - Cup O Noodles and Top Ramen soups

I am a vegan student...This would rock my socks

I am a real estate broker and very busy. This is my favorite hurry up Microwave recipe for Spanish Rice. Unfortunately, I never measure unless I am baking.
In a deep dish or bowl(I use Corning Ware) put approx. 1Tbsp Canola Oil, about 1/4 cup of chopped onions and peppers(I use red & green).Optional some ground vegi-burger) and about 11/2 cups rice(instant). 1 Tsp. veggie flavoring or Braggs and mix cover with V-8 Juice. Microwave for about 10 min and stir. Microwave for about another 10+- min until rice is done. Serve with a salad.

Trader Joe's Indian food that you can microwave!

I don't have an oven or a stove in my dormroom, but I do have an electric sandwich press! My favorite thing to make is a banana, peanut butter, and carob-chip sandwich pressed until it's toasted and melty.

grilled peanut butter and banana sandwich on whole wheat bread with some strawberries on the side. so delicious.

When I lived in the dorms we had a kitchen on every floor and all the girls would congregate there after class. It is one of my favorite memories of my undergrad days!

The following became a staple as we all slowly became vegetarian/vegan.

1 can of black beans rinsed
1 can of corn rinsed
1 cup of whatever salsa is on sale for really cheep this week.

put in a pan or microwave safe dish and heat.

Wrap in a whole wheat tortilla or eat like soup.

If you are feeling sassy or got paid this week, garnish with cilantro and/or vegan sour cream

I remember nuking frozen potato waffles and cooking pasta in the kettle. That was pretty much what I survived on in college. Slightly better now, but not much!

yum, this sounds tasty. even if you're not in college, quick, easy and tasty is still preferable. thanks.

My daughter is heading to college next year. I remember making Top Ramen and adding veggies. Quick and easy :-)

I am always looking for new great and easy ways to cook Vegan! Cook on!

would be a great cookbook for me since all I eat is veggies and fruit

I love making salad with chikpeas, cucumbers, and tomatoes with someorganic dressing! it's so easy and perfect for the vegan college student.

The sad thing is that I've been out of college for years and I still eat and cook like I am!

My favorite thing in college was peanut butter and banana sandwiches. They seemed to fulfill all my hunger needs. :)

My favorite meal is pretty simple. It's a fake "chicken" burger with lettuce. Obviously it's better cooked with a george foreman or a grill. But it's fantastic. I'm a very picky eater so it makes things very challenging for me. I tend to make basic foods and with university I don't have much time to cook anything big. Plus I'm only ever cooking for myself. It's hard to find things meant for just one person.

Just a plain tomato sandwich with some toffuti chive cream cheese, and oregano and basil. it's so simple and good i make it all the time!

this cookbook looks awesome. i'm in school and actually moving from an apartment back into a dorm next year, and have gotten so used to having a stove i'm going to lose my mind! this would be a great resource for me.

my favorite quick and easy fix is my spin on the college staple ramen with my busy schedule its a god send, boil the noodles add soy sauce and presto you've got a 5 minute meal. as vegan as it gets, add some veggies and your set. quater of the sodium but just as delicios. another love i have currently is the pancake in a mug from this book. man, i need to cut back on the carbs.:P there a amazing when you've got but 3 min. to spare.

While I do like to cook when I have the time, I've been looking for quick, healthy stuff to make b/c I have 2 toddlers to chase after.

THIS IS NICE

This is embarrassing because it showcases how truly lazy I am, but it is sooooooo delicious, that I eat it as often as I can. I get Amy's Black Bean Enchilada and nuke it, then I put a huge scoop of Wholely Guacamole on top, and then two scoops of Chi-Chi's salsa on either side, and then eat it by scooping it up with tortilla chips. Not figure-friendly, but really tasty!

I make a mean "BaseCamp Vegie Sandwich". Which inclueds whole grain bread, vegan cream cheese, alfalfa sprouts, raw sunflower seeds, cucumber, red bell pepper. Spread cream cheese on bread, press sunflower seeds into cream cheese, add all of the other ingredients and that is a tasty sandwich !!! I have even had "meat eaters" love this one.

My fav quickie food recipe?? Brown rice pasta boiled up el dente, then mix in nutritional yeast flakes, margarine and pepper! YUMMY YUMS! For extra nutrition, toss in your favorite veggies

Quick, easy and awesome:

- Cook some brown rice in your microwave by following the directions on the package.

- Heat one can of diced tomatoes

- Heat one can of black beans

- Mix the black beans and tomatoes together

- Top the rice with the mixture, add some pepper (oregano and basil work as great seasoning too) and you are good to go!

I like to cook but because I'm still a newbie I don't have much paitience for complicated, time consuming recicipies. My favorites include pasta, basic Indian curries, soup and veggie burgers.

i want to win

This would be super helpful due to the fact that I am currently in college (and a new vegan!!!) and getting bored of just having salads for meals!!! :)

We call this one "Leftover Tacos." It's made from, well, leftovers!

It's easy! Just take a tortilla, and put left-over goodies from your fridge on it! For example:

-Tomato/spaghetti sauce
-Lettuce (Romaine is so good!)
-Rice or beans
-salsa
-Sprouts or peas
-Cut-up boca nuggets/burgers
-Onion/garlic powder for more flavor
-Italian dressing
-Anything else you can find!

This quick little meal is perfect for quick breakfasts too! :D

Cascadian Farms Winter Squash with garlic salt and pepper.

Who wouldn't enjoy this cookbook? I'm considering going vegan, and I could definitely use this!

I like pita bread with cucumber, tomatoes and sauce (different kinds depending on what day it is).

Instant oatmeal mixed with bananas and peanut butter!

Although I love to cook, and I am newly vegetarian (mostly vegan) , I have an addiction to veggie burgers (Boca makes Vegan Veggie Burgers), on whole wheat buns, with imitation mayo, with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, black olives, and avocado on it topped with sea salt and freshly ground peppercorns. Add a side of Soy Crisps (I recommend the sea salt version) and its absolutely delicious. If you want a cheesy taste, try Veggie Slices, but these are not vegan, these unfortunately have casein, which contains milk protein.

I WANNA WIN THE COOKBOOOOOOOOOOK!

All you to do to win it is post? Really? Spiffy.

Between a late night theatre practice, an unifinished art project and a 10 pages dissertation a day late, I always believed collegians needed very fast, healthy and cool meal ideas. I think your book is just the right thing! My super-recipe (well not that super, just say that it correspond to all the caracteristics above): a quick couscous! I use aromate-added couscous (lemon and fresh herbs or tomato, etc)add frozen vegetables and chickpeas, and here we go for another sleepless night working! I get pretty used to this, starting soon my master degree...

hands down the best meal for me ,is vegan hot dogs and grilling them on the stoves and having homemade sweet potato fries or squash fries from the toaster oven. i love vegan food,i could never go back to eating nasty meat.just the look and smell of it makes me want to throw up( no lie) lol :)
go vegans & vegetarians!!!!

Mini-pizzas - dress up a slice of bread or two as you might a vegan pizza, and cook it in a toaster oven!

My all time favorite, easy, fast, vegan treat has to be a brownie that can be cooked in the microwave in 4 minutes. The recipe is so simple, and the ingridients are super easy to find
People need to realize that cooking vegan food is pretty easy and it turns out delicious!

I am a vegetarian but I really want to become vegan so this book would come in handy.

One of my favorite foods, hands down, is hummus. It's so good and it's versatile; you can use all the ingredients "to taste" -- chickpeas, garlic, tahini, and lemon juice. I like to start with two cans of chickpeas and two heaping tablespoons of tahini. Personally, I like to add more minced garlic than is socially acceptable (about 6 cloves), but some people just like to use one or two. Finally, I add the juice of a lemon or two and sea salt. You can whiz everything in a blender for a creamy hummus, but if you don't have a blender, a potato masher works quite well, too. A dollop of good olive oil rounds out the flavor. As my son and I have celiac disease, we forgo the pita bread in my family, but tortilla chips, cucumber and carrot slices, and celery sticks are perfect for dipping the hummus.

Easy food - would be great for my brother who has just moved interstate to universtiy!!

my favourite easy recipe is to cube some extra firm tofu, stick it in the microwave for 2 minutes and then pour over a mix of some soy sauce, curry powder and minced garlic. Mix tofu with marinade to make sure its totally covered and then microwave for another 2 minutes. Divine!

I'm a college vegan stuck on a cafeteria meal plan which supposes that plain, uncooked tofu from the salad bar is supposed to satisfy me every single day. Through experimentation I've learned to spice it up by microwaving the tofu with peanut butter and soy sauce, mashing it all up with a fork and spreading it on top of toast, then topping it with cucumbers, carrots, and other veggies.

Though I'm proud of my cafeteria creativity, I certainly wouldn't mind a copy of this cookbook for extra ideas... :D

Spiced Potato bits with Onions.

Sliced Onions - 1 ounce

Minced Garlic - 1 clove

Minced Ginger - 1/4 inch piece

Fresh Thyme - 1 sprig

Chilly powder - 1 tsp

Vegitable Oil - 2 tsp

Salt to taste

Add oil & Onions to a Bowl and sweat them in a Microwave for 2 mins

Add garlic, Ginger and Microwave for another minute

Boil the potatoes in a bowl with little water for about 6 mins in a seperate bowl

Add potatoes to the Onions with thyme salt and more oil if needed

Microwave for another 3 mins

You can roll them up in a Indian Naan, Peta bread, Wheat tortilla or a Toast and its yum!!

A few weeks ago I burned my dish towel in the microwave while trying to cook a sweet potato...

all my recipes are too complicated for dorm recipes lol. so i would have to say peanut butter and jam. it's always awesome!

I lived on dorm room junk food in college...but what's even more sad is that I lived at home!(Of course, this was all before I was Vegan) I ate Pop Tarts, Cup O' Noodles, Peanut Butter and jelly Sandwiches, Salads and Lunchables! Wouldn't that be awesome if someone would make a pre-packaged Vegan Lunchables complete with ham, cheese crackers and dessert!?

The yummiest dorm snack is peanut butter rice krispie balls! :)
Made by heating a bit of brown sugar and maple syrup, then adding some PB, wait for it to cool down and then throw in some rice krispie cereal, mix and start forming balls.

I know, maybe not that healthy but it does help out when your craving for something sweet.

I love to make baked potatoes by microwaving a clean potato for 5 minutes. Whenever I show my friends that I can make a real baked potato in 5 minutes, they're amazed. It's also extremely cheap.

I would love to win this!!

Oh Gosh! Freshman year was full of crazy eating habits! My roommate and I would dip EVERYTHING in cream cheese ... Doritos, Ritz, Potato Chips, Pretzels, Pizza, Chinese food, leftovers from the caf ...

I am so glad those days are over!!

Would love this cookbook!

Quesadillas with soy cheese!

I am new to this, so I think this cookbook would really help!

Vegan smoothies! A little chocolate soymilk, some vegan yogurt, about a cup of raspberries and a banana and voila!

Truly fantastic.

vegan steaksandwich...some boca meatless crumbles, tomato sauce and some fried mushrooms and onions. absolutely delish!

Pita & Hummus all th way! simple and easy to make =)

I'm a sophmore in college now. I am not a very good cook at all, but I do make those cheap, processed pastas in a bag all the time. I'm trying my best to get into cooking, but trying to find recipes that can handle the college life style is rough. I would do anything for this cookbook!!

can of beans: kidney and black are my favs. rinse beans in colonder. add can of diced tomatoes (try different flavors: italian, jalapeno, etc,) rinse frozen vegis in collander with really hot water to thaw. throw it all in a pan (a microwave would work but I dont own one) then wrap it in a tortilla. quick and delicious!

I need a new cookbook with new idea's and techniques.

Oh man, I'd LOVE this book! I'm a vegetarian, and let's just say my college is NOT vegetarian or vegan friendly! Most nights I resort to warming up a boca with tons of steamed veggies for dinner!

My favorite snack is one i invented, and it happens to be a GREAT pick-me-up after a nice sweaty workout! I dice an orange and top it with greek yogurt (or drained plain yogurt), top that with just a bit of banana jam, and sprinkle on some kashi go lean crunch! Sooooo good and refreshing!

i make potato bowls. like at kfc but nothing like their nastiness and shamless way of making it =]
i make microwave mashed tators, microwave corn, microwave a couple of morning star chicken nuggets, and make vegan gravy. and top with some vegan cheese
its awesome and filling

One of my favorite standby lunches is the FBLTC. Fake bacon lettuce tomato and cheese. I make it a wrap by using a tortilla. I cook the MorningStar bacon in the microwave and melt my Vegan cheese on a tortilla in the microwave. Then I cut up some tomato and lettuce, wrap it all up and scarf it down. I will be heading off to college next year and this would be an amazing gift. Quick, easy, and cheap food is perfect!

Peanut butter and cereal sandwich. The only cooking implement required is a knife!

I've been in college for two years now and a vegetarian for over 12 years... I barely ever have time to cook because I'm so busy with school, but my favorite thing to make is "moros", a Hispanic dish which is fairly easy to make with rice and a can of black beans. You mix it all together, add seasoning, and put it all in the rice cooker and vou la... your own Cuban vegetarian friendly dish!

I make quick, easy and delicious tacos with my microwave. That's an awesome part about veggie crumbles, they don't have to be made on the stove! I just heat them up in the microwave with taco seasoning, put them in shells, and add lots of fresh veggies and hot sauce, yummy! I made them all the time when I lived in a tiny studio apartment in London without a real kitchen.

My favorite dorm recipe is bananas with peanut butter. Super easy and healthy.

I love the classic microwaved baked potato with vegan butter. For dessert the Peanut Butter & Co.'s chocolate peanut butter called Dark Chocolate Dreams, it's amazing and of course vegan.

Tortilla soup-- Tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, corn, beans, a bit of corn meal for thickening, and all the spices you can handle! Crumble tortilla chips on top!!

If you make it thick enough, you can use it as a hot dip for the chips instead of an actual soup.

My roommates and I love making "puppy chow" which is chex covered in a peanut butter/chocolate mixture and then coated with powdered sugar. It's more than delicious...

Hands down: Ramen noodles microwaved with any veggies or tofu.

Definitely nachos. I take some good corn tortilla chips, a can of black beans, a jar of salsa, and an avocado and heat in the microwave. Sometimes I sprinkle lime juice over the beans. If I have access to it, I might put some good soy cheese and soy sour cream on top, but usually the avocado is enough to add creaminess.
Also The yummiest dorm snack is peanut butter rice krispie balls! :)Made by heating a bit of brown sugar and maple syrup, then adding some PB, wait for it to cool down and then throw in some rice krispie cereal[witch has geletin in it soit's gross-don't eat it if your vegan!], mix and start forming balls. I know, maybe not that healthy but it does help out when your craving for something sweet!I AM A VEGETARIAN.

Well i decided to become a vegaterian about 2-3 weeks ago & have been stuggling to find some tasty recipes that contain local ingredients that i can buy from my farmer's market.

I have created my very own tofu snack patties that have cranberries, sunflower & flax seeds, sliced almonds & diced apples and tofu. They are great b/c i can eat them when im on the go to & from work. I usually make a big batch so i can freeze them, pop them in the toaster & go.

The best part is that everything is organic-since making the change to vegitarianism i have been feeling healther!

I just graduated and could have used this!

I'm starting college in October, and I've been planning to go Vegan as soon as I get there since I was about 9 years old. I've been compiling my own recipe book this year, but this would be ideal!

I have to admit that cereal and almond milk are the old standby, though pasta with canned soup is good too.

My favorite dorm-friendly recipe is miso soup -- nuke some water in a mug, stir in some dried shiitake mushrooms, some spinach leaves, a few cubes of tofu (firm silken is great here) and a tablespoon or so of white miso. Great any time!

What a great idea!!! I would love to have a copy! Nothing beats a cucumber and tomato sandwich on a hot summer day--just add salt!

I would love this!!! =)

my favorite recipe is vegetarian samosa. I would love this book because i am now going to be a vegan since i just watched that meet your meat video on goveg.com i will need to know some vegan recipes i can use for when i start college next year.

I've just recently (as in today!) decided that my family needs to cut back our meat/animal product intake drastically. With a meat loving husband and a dairy loving daughter this will be easier said than done! I'm hoping to ease them into it slowly.
When I was in college I used to eat a lot of oatmeal and I loved it! It was quick to make, and you could microwave it in the same bowl you were going to eat it in. This was a staple for study sessions and late night essay writing.

Stir Fry by microwaving veggies in my pampered chef microwave container and pour on the peanut sauceeeee. yum! (and perfect for my lazy college self)

Cold peanut butter and banana sandwiches.

My dorm food was hummus and veggies with a side of grapes! Fresh, refreshing, easy to make, easy to clean!

My favorite dorm-friendly meal is a tempeh sandwich made by frying a few slices of temepeh and then topping it off with tomato slices, lettuce, and Dijon mustard. Yum!

My favorite meal is whole wheat pita pockets stuffed with tomatoes fake turkey portebello mushrooms lettuce shredded soy cheese and mustard

I am addicted to the SmartDogs hotdogs! They are sooo yummy!

2 bags mixed organic frozen veggies, half cup millet and quinoa big chopped onion,one cup sliced butternut squash, make layers in pyrex casserole add low sodium vegetable stock mike til tender and broth cooked in before serving ad a little dissived miso and sesame seeds and sesame oil for a garnish on top. YUM!DEB ELLIOTT NEWLONDON,CT USA

Wow, why didn't I think of Sloppy Joels!? They look delicious!

Both of my children are strict vegetarians due to personal choices and are avid PETA supporters. I am proud of their decisions at such young ages (14 and 17) and this book would be PERFECT for my oldest daughter who will be starting college next fall. Thank you for making easy recipes that are convenient for my busy family! Bless you!

Pick me! Pick me! Pick me!
I work full time in a gym so I never cook anymore. I live off of salad and veggie wraps. All I do cook is tofu and tempeh. I want to share with my sis to cause she just became veg and doesn't know what to eat.

My favorite quick and easy vegan dish is super simple:
steam some veggies in a zip'n steam bag in the microwave (or on the stove if you have one). best veggies for this dish are brocolli, cauliflower and green beans

Add your favorite tomato sauce from a jar-mine has lots of garlic and olive oil

stir it all together, and top with a dash of hot sauce, and your preference of vegan cheeze (I like fake parmesan). It can also be yummy to add some crumbled vegan croutons for a little extra crunch!

Veggies and Hummus

My fav dorm-friendly meal would have to be Bean Burritos!
Black beans and/or minute brown rice, fresh avacodo and pico de gallo- topped with Sour Supreme and all wrapped in a whole wheat tortilla! Yummy!

my favorite meal?
an avacado sprinkled with mrs. dash, and a tomato sprinkled with soy-cheese and topped with lots of ground pepper.
now you can see why i need this cookbook.

My fave dorm friendly recipe is a veg burrito. Start with a tortilla, add some rice, black beans, lettuce, tomato, corn, homemade guacamole and tofutti sour cream. Delicious....

I love to cook, but I work 2 jobs and am school part-time so I don't have much time. I recently transitioned into a Vegan lifestyle, but don't have much support and would appreciate balanced recipies to keep a healthy lifestyle.

I'm always on the go with a full time schedule at school and then a part time job, I like to eat anything fast. I'm either cooking ramen in the microwave, or eating hummus and veggies.

Hey! I can say I probably not the best to ask for a recipe but I love me vegge meals. Where I am now the normally serve rice and alot of meaty foods so I dont really eat much though, I dont look the part. Every night I just end up grabbing some noodles or some rice and putting yeast flakes on them for the vitamins and the nutrition I need.

ohhh, so cool!

I just recently decided to go vegan, I've been vegetarian for 3 years. I'm in the phase between high school and college, and my living situation means that I don't get to cook very much. I love to cook, and would love to learn more vegan cooking techniques. My favorite simple vegan dish, and the staple of my current diet, is the classic pb&j sandwich (also great on a whole wheat tortilla rolled up!)

I am trying to start to eat vegetarian and attempting it in a dorm.. when all my friends and family eat meat its hard especially thinking of tastey things to make.. the cookbook would really help... so far my favorite recipe that i know and love is a classic pb&j

Vegan "Grilled" Cheese

Take 2 slices of bread and spread a thin layer of vegan margarine on both sides. Then sandwich slices of soy cheese between the slices and wrap the entire sandwich in tin foil. Heat up an iron, and let the iron sit on the sandwich for 1 minute, then flip over and do the same to the other side. Unwrap and enjoy!

I want to go to there.

Ok, well I'm in my first year of college and as the only vegetarian in my house i tend to find it a struggle to eat healthy, I feel this book would be beneficial to my lazy eating habits!
Save a student!

The easiest recipe for the tastiest pasta;

1. Find vegetables in fridge (or at shops), could be anything depending on what you like, i choose peppers garlic and caugettes.

AT THIS POINT PUT A PAN OF WATER ON TO BOIL

2. Slice up vegetables into small(ish) pieces and marinate in whatever oil (sunflower/ olive etc) you have and add a nice spice ( or two), I chose paprika, with maybe a little cajun sometimes. Add salt if desired.

3. Put in the oven say gas mark 6 and leave vegetables in until slightly soft (im not sure the times exactly, I have a temperamental oven).

4. Add whole-wheat pasta into boiling water from earlier and cook as according to instructions on packet.

5. While waiting for it all to finish, grate some cheese.

6. Serve up, sprinkle cheese and enjoy!

I'm in college now, and I eat spinach wraps with hummus, jalepenos, and spinach leaves all the time. I'd like to learn some new recipes though!

My favorite college recipie is oriental top raman. It's easy and vegan and cheap which is a plus.

My personal favorite is to microwave a package of vegan cream cheese in a bowl and microwave it for 2-3 minutes, stirring after each minute. Then I add fresh salsa or pico de gallo to the melted cream cheese, usually about 8 oz does the trick for 8 oz of vegan cream cheese (50/50). To serve I scoop it up and into my pie hole with tortilla chips. YUM!

Brownies...
I know what your thinking, that brownies arnt really food, but seriously when else can you get away with chowing down on brownies than in college?
Besides everyone else helps eat them, not a luxury I have now at home!

All you need for vegan brownies is:
Flour
Water
Earth Balance
Cocoa powder
Sugar
Vanilla
Baking powder
Salt

*and if your not vegan, add marshmallows just on top, SO GOOD*

My favorite meal is a Vegan GardenBurger with Tomatoes & Lettuce!

I think my favorite is plain and simple-hummus and pita, with some veggies thrown in. Quick, easy, healthy.

I live at home but coming home from late classes with my 2-hour commute doesn't leave me with much energy to go all out and make myself a gourmet meal. A quick thing I love to do is make carrot and cucumber with some artichoke dip. It takes like no time when you use baby carrots and store-bought artichoke dip.

Macaroni and four cheeses
By the authors of 'Skinny Bitch in the Kitch'
Serves 8

INGREDIENTS

• 1 tablespoon refined coconut oil, melted, or safflower oil, plus more for the casserole dish
• About 2 tablespoons fine sea salt
• 1 pound whole-wheat or brown rice elbow macaroni
• 2 (10-ounce) packages frozen pureed winter squash
• 2 cups soy or rice milk
• 4 ounces vegan Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 2 ounces vegan Jack cheese, shredded
• 4 ounces (about 1/2 cup) vegan cream cheese
• 1 1/2 teaspoons powdered mustard
• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1/4 cup whole-wheat bread crumbs
• 2 tablespoons vegan Parmesan cheese
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 375 F. Oil a 2-quart casserole dish; set aside.

In a 4- to 6-quart stockpot over high heat, combine 3 quarts of water with about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the salt. Bring the water to a boil, add the macaroni, and cook according to the package directions.

Meanwhile, in a 3- to 4-quart saucepan over medium heat, combine the squash and milk, stirring and breaking up the squash with a spoon until the squash is defrosted. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and whisk in the Cheddar, Jack, cream cheese, mustard, cayenne, and the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of salt.

When the pasta is done, drain it, then return the pasta to the pot. Stir the cheese sauce into the macaroni. Transfer the entire mixture to the prepared baking pan.

In a medium bowl, combine the bread crumbs, Parmesan, and the 1 tablespoon of oil. Sprinkle over the top of the macaroni and cheese. Place the casserole dish on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, then broil for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the top is nicely browned.

I just started this wonderful vegan journey and want to start my young daughter off right with healthy vegan recipes. This book will help me immensely.

PB & thinly sliced juicy red apples on hearty whole grain bread ...... best sandwich ever!.. a sure college staple full of healthy goodness!

i love granola with rice milk, cinnamon, raisins, and bananas

Nothing beats Ramen Noodles - convenient and filling, even though not the healthiest option! :-P

I love Soy cheese quesadillas right in the microwave. Mmmm!!! Top with salsa. They are the best.

My fav to make in the dorms required the kitchen stove: Marinade diced tofu in soy sauce. Saute thinly sliced red cabbage (dirt cheap) in olive oil, garlic & ginger (can be ground or fresh). Once cabbage is tender, add tofu & remains of soy sauce marinade. Heat through. Very yummy & filling.

My favorite dorm-friendly vegan recipe would have to be old-school Boca burgers, of course! They are so easy, delicious, and nutritious, I always find myself wondering..."What's the catch?!"

Nothing tops ramen noodles in the dorm.

Sarah Kramers "Aunt Bonnies Chickpea Salad" in La Dolce Vegan .... best chickpea salad ever!!!

Baked Tofu with whole grain rice and stir fry veggies with sweet sour sauce , plum sauce and Mrs. Dash on top. Then dessert is fruit salad with a sprinkle of vegan chocolate chips and a little agave nectar on top.

Well there is always the delicious and nutritious salad!

However, I would say a BLT using the smart bacon and some vegan whole wheat bread from Whole Foods, a couple slices of tomato and romaine lettuce! Mmmmmm...yummy in my tummy just thinking about it!

Definitely a slice of Field Roast heated up in the microwave accompanied by a microwaved potato, with a little bit of vegan butter, salt and pepper, and some green beans!

I really enjoy making veggie burgers. They only take a few minutes in the microwave. I always add tomato slices.

I'll soon be a junior and will no longer have a meal plan so this would be very helpful. My favorite would have to be a spinach veggie wrap. Amazing!

Boca Original Vegan veggie burgers with Morning Star Farms veggie bacon*. So practicaly, It's a bacon cheese burger. (: I am not vegan, but vegan food is still yummy.
*The bacon has egg white and milk in it, so, it is not vegan.
As a vegetarian, this food is SUPER quick, easy, and cheap. (: Yum. It is also good with lettuce, ketchup, pickles, and tomato.

Here's a really quick easy recipe for a Salsa Cheese Wrap.

-Flour Tortilla wrap
-slice of cheese or cheese substitute
-spoonful of salsa

Lay the cheese slice on the tortilla, spread a spoonful of salsa on it, pop in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds (depending on power of your microwave). Then you have a Salsa Cheese Wrap! Quick and yummy!

Newbie 6 month vegetarian...and my hardest thing is finding and making something quick and easy that isnt overly processed...

i love tofu hot-dogs their amazing.

My favorite dorm-friendly recipe is microwave brownies!

I am desperate to know how to cook more and stop eating the same thing as I am a new veggie. I love to eat cereals-with lots of fiber and accompanied with Almond Milk, but I would like to entertain my taste buds!

Smoothies always make a great snack after a run or a refreshing and energizing meal!
Coffee Monkey
1 cup of Vanilla Almond Milk
1 medium frozen banana
1 tablespoon of organic instant coffee
1 handful of ice cubes
Throw all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. Pour into a glass and enjoy!

I'm a new vegetarian, lived on subway veggie pattys, noodles and soy sauce, veg curries, 10 min oven fries with quick veg gravy, now cheese and crackers for quick snack, looking for something else

this would be perfect for my daughter who will be off to Ohio University in the fall. she and her roommate are both veggie. best dorm food, tasty bite indian meals in a pouch!

I would love to have this for my son. He just recently asked me for a vegan cookbook! What a great find.

im not vegan I'm vegetarian though and I'm a kid so I just stick morningstar or boca food in the microwave and this book would really help since my parents and fam are carnivores

I am a student who is also a mother. When i'm not in school i'm taking care of my son, needless to say between changing diapers,cleaning, attending classes, and studying i don't have much time to cook. i want to teach my son good healthy eating habits and i don't want animal products to fester in my apartment just because i have little time.
the simplest thing i can do in a short time and tight budget is a nice leafy salad, chalk full of tomatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, green leaf lettuce, and chopped up veggie protein weenies, topped off with either balsamic vinegar, or soy ranch dressing

We used to make ramen noodles in a hot pot in college.....yum!

Peanut (or almond) butter, sliced strawberries, sliced bananas, strawberry preserves, granola, wrapped up in a flat-out wrap or tortilla. It's great for breakfast, lunch or a snack.

Tomato sandwiches!

A great tofu sandwich is always simple and satisfying. I like to dress mine with peanut butter and soy sauce.

My favorite fast food, is fruits and veggies. Salad is good any day, and nothing has to be cooked/microwaved. Apples are the best fast food ever.

Risotto stuffed peppers!! Just get some of that instant rice (vegan though!), make it in the microwave, and stuff a fresh red pepper with it, adding in chopping mushrooms and spices. It's getting me through law school- I definitely use my oven as storage space.

My favorite college recipe is oatmeal with toasted apples on top. With some cimmamon on top, too.

My favorite dorm food is vegan nachos! I love to smother organic tortilla chips with black beans, guacamole, and Tofutti nacho cheese! Yum! :D

I just want to be able to make quick meals for my son who won't wait. Also, we are on a very tight budget and I can't afford to buy this book.

Smoothies are the easiest. I make mine with tofu, frozen fruit [sometimes veggies too], flax seeds, wheat germ, and enough juice or soy/almond/rice milk to make it sippable through a straw.

Think this would be a great way to start a vegan lifestyle. I am all into convenience and quick meals.

i'm a vegan college student, and the stove is my enemy. ha

This book is awesome and I love the video posted on Peta2 advertising it.

My favorite college food is:
Mushroom Quesadillas. I take a whole wheat flour tortilla, spread a thin layer of salsa on it, add a few crushed mushrooms, and finish with a handful of soy cheese. Then i microwave it for 30 seconds..and it's delicious!!!

Almost everyday I eat a wrap with avocado, tomato, spinach, and olives.

i am the lord of mac & cheese

Well at a college I got about a 5 minute prep meal. Warm up some pasta noodles to al-dents in a microwave. The night before marinate(basically anything I made mine from tomato paste, chili power, garlic, Ginger, and some maple syrup) from froZen tofu(cut into pieces as big as you desire). Then mix it all together with pasta sauce and heat up once more.

My favourite dorm friendly recipe? Easy. Canned green peas with soy sauce and balsamic vinegar, all tossed together, and to be enjoyed cold of course!
Though I also like big salads with chopped apples, cucumber, spinach... and loads of different nuts :)

For a quick snack I like to eat something with protien for energy now and a few carbs to burn as I go. I usually open a can of cannaloni beans but any type of beans will do. I pour off the water and smash the beans with a fork. Then I add a squirt of lemon or lime juice, some basil or oregano, a pinch of salt. It really depends on what I'm craving, a little cumin if I'm twisting it in a mexican direction, a little red pepper if I'm leaning toward a Thai spice or curry if I'm craving a taste of Middle Eastern food. After I mix it up I spread it on a piece of bread, toast if I can, a vegan bagel or whole wheat crackers. It doesn't matter. It's quick and filling and good for you and can be done with a million different combinations. I often have a container of some bean spread and some crackers in my bag. Great on the go.

Vegan Ranch Dressing and Pita Chips!

1/2 cup soy milk
1/2 cup soy veganaise
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon parsley
a pinch of salt

whip all the ingredients together! while your pita pieces toast in the oven and in less than 15minutes DELICIOUS

Wash a baking potato and then stab the heck out of it with a fork. Microwave on high for 5-8 minutes or until ready to eat. Cut open and top with salsa. Enjoy! Tasty, quick, healthy, and easy.

This sounds like a great book! If I don't win, I will have to buy it. :)

Grilled cheese with an iron.
Put eb on the bread, add vegan cheese, wrap in foil. Iron the sandwich packet on both sides. yum!

I'm going back to college and I love PB&J and PB&B.

well, in my family, we barely go to the grocery store. hence, we really never have much food to prepare actual, well known meals. i just grab anything that looks good and put it together, and create something brand new. the other day, for example, i had veggies, salad dressing, and flat bread. i layed out the flat bread, cut all the veggies up (green peppers, red peppers, spinach leaves, etc.) and put it all down, mixed in together on the bread. i then spritzed the balsamic vinegrette dressing on the veggies, and rolled it all up. now, im sure many people have tried this, or have eaten this before, but i just think its fun making something up with what you have and going with the flow.

I am a fan of anything with chickpeas. So yummy and so healthy!!! :-) You can even make hummus with them and cut up some yummy pita to make a great snack.

I haven't gone to college but with my hectic schedule, I might as well be.When I'm hungry and don't have tons of time I make my Spicy Oniony Ramen Noodles(as you can see I haven't made a name for it).Ingredients: Beef Ramen Noodles (Oriental tastes great too), 1 small onion, Tofu Beef Crumbles, Sazon, Cayenne Pepper, Canola Oil
1.Heat canola oil in skillet (low heat so that onions can sautee)
2.Add onions to skillet (cut onions anyway you want+amount depends on your liking)
3.When onions are beginning to soften, add a dash of sazon and cayenne pepper (again make this to YOUR taste)
4.Add beef crumbles to seasoned onions until heated
5. Cook your Ramen Noodles in separate pot or microwave them.
6. When the Ramen is done you can add the season to them, then add them to beef mix or add the plain noodles to beef mix then stir in season package.
7. OH! drain the water from the noodles...only leave a tiny bit so that noodles won't stick to pan when mixing with beef mix.
8. ENJOY!...and sorry I'm not the best recipe writer but the dish is really good!

pita bread, hummus, and greens! mmmm.....

I eat a lot of mixed up banana, peanut butter, and crushed tortilla chips. It's salty and sweet, so I tend to eat it at all hours.

I also like to make a dip/dressing for veggies with olive oil, mustard, salsa, pepper, and garlic powder. I swear it tastes good.

Here in Colombia (South America) there aren't a lot of options to go out and eat veg (big carnivores) So tend to invite people over in order to avoid ending up eating a big pile of lettuce with tomatoes (the only version of salads in most restaurants). I really enjoy doing the very easy pasta with spinach and blue cheese...YUM!

Also, like some of you who left comments, I am a new vegetarian who is a sophomore in college and so far my favorite/quickest recipe is Bean and Rice Taco. All you need is Oragnic whole wheat tortillas, blackbeans , brown rice spiced with mexican seasonings , avacodo , tomato or anything else you would like to add.

Wraps are easy and versatile. I'll put veggies in a little crockpot with some veg broth and seasonings and I have a delicious portion of vegetables in broth, much like beef stew veggies but better be cause it is without the nasty beef!

black bean tacos with mango and avocado salsa!

to make the salsa i chop up onion, garlic, cilantro, tomato, mango and avocado and stir in a little salt and lime juice.

I will forever be a fan of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches... but only if they are made with homemade jam!

I live off of microwaved frozen veggie burgers when I am in school. Sometimes I make them myself and freeze them, but sometimes i just get lazy and buy them frozen. You cant go wrong with them!

I do believe I lived off of ramen noodles with Spike or seasoning salt instead of their flavor packet! Crazy times!

I'm sort of a popcorn freak myself...we are currently doing clinicals with nothing but machine vendor food...I could use some HELP!

I am in the midst of going vegetarian. I am also starting law school in the fall and this book would be a great help for both transitions!

step 1. mix lettuce + tomato + cucumber + red pepper + onion (chopped)
step 2. sprinkle olive oil
step 3. add chickpeas pan fried with spicy paprika powder

cold salad mixed with hot chickpeas - magic!

I am heading to college as a Freshman this fall--yay!!! My favorite quick food that can easily be made in a dorm is microwave chocolate cake. I have created my own recipe modeled after one of my favorite oven-baked cakes and I have made it vegan. The actual recipe is on my blog: http://thinkitbakeit.blogspot.com/2009/02/220-cake.html

instant Dr. McDougals soups and vegan burgers

This sandwich is super comfort food medley on a big wheat bun. It’s very tasty and the recipe is incredibly simple. All you need to do is stack a veggie chicken patty on top of a large whole wheat bun with loads of mashed potatoes and vegan mac and cheese. (The spiral kind is the best)

It’s Carb-o- licious!!!

I am a horrible cook and really need something like this. I basically live on boca burgers and salads. PLEASE PLEASE let me when this so i can actually make some real meals!

This definitely looks like a handy book to have around.

nothing is as easy as taking vegan hot dogs and topping them with vegan chili(Litelife)and tofutti better than cream cheese.so delicious and only takes like 5mins in the microwave!

I make and eat my breakfast in less than ten minutes.

Almond Milk and Cinnamon Oatmeal:

Ingredients:

Vanilla Almond Milk
Oatmeal Oats
Powdered Cinnamon

1. Pour 1 cup of Vanilla Almond Milk in a bowl
2) Add three Tablespoons of Oatmeal Oats
3. Sprinkle as much powdered cinnamon as you like
4) Heat for 2-3 minutes in a microwave

You'll end up with a delightfully sweet bowl of warm oatmeal :)

peanut butter and jelly sandwiches!

well first off I'm really good at vegan baking but for some reason I am terrible at cooking =/

I make a large pot of pasta and partition it out into single serving containers.

Then I make jars of tomato, pesto, peanut, and lemon butter sauces.

Cube a block of tofu and bake it.

It gives me the chance to mix and match depending on what I'm in the mode for. Another advantage is that if I have a full day of classes and work I can bring the meal with me.

pizza of course!

This is only a recipe in the barest sense, but the easiest, yummiest snack to find on any campus is an apple and peanut butter. And gosh darn it, it's delicious. Just grab a knife or a spoon and glob some peanut butter on to the apple before each bite. If you're REALLY lazy...I mean busy... you can dedicate the spoon so you only have to wash it once and a while, or eat it in the cafeteria so they have to wash for you, lol :).

Romaine Noodles, my dorm-mates and I ate these 5 or more times a day.

I want to win this!

I have so many vegan friends, I'd love to win this so I could make some of these recipes for when I entertain, this looks like a really interesting book

My oldest and youngest daughters are Vegans, They have taught me a lot about foods as well as why they have chosen this lifestyle. I would like to have the Vegan College Cookbook to share with my oldest who is already in College and for my youngest to have when she goes to College.

My new favorite quick-food (and something I'm definately going to eat in college when I go next september)is a wrap made with bean sprouts, green onions, cucumber and tomato with cream cheese and ceaser dressing (both vegan of course) and burghul mixed with greek dressing(mix it before putting it in the wrap), with spices (I use oregano, cyan and a mixed veggie spice).
All this is put in the wrap (spinach wraps are the best if you can find them)

woohoo Campbell's soup!

Brining myself back to college memory lane...and trying to remember what I made to eat....
Anything cheap like spaghetti, ramen noodles,cereal (w/ no milk),beer, water,
OMG I have no idea how I survived those years because I did not cook not one meal for myself.

My favorite would be a cheap frozen pot pie-no recipe needed, quick and easy.

A simple Chow Mein recipe is my favorite.

garden burgers :)

My college-bound niece has recently gone vegan, and would love this!

I live in a family of six.They all are major rednecks(not that theres anything worng with that)and loveeeeeeeeee meat.My mother never has time to cook two seperate meals and since i make romin noodle explode i end up eating toast and fruit a lot of the time.This cook book seems like a pretty good idea to me.

This would be lovely for my niece who just quit eating meat and eggs and chicken

I literally ate peanut butter sandwiches every day. Man, I wish I had this book way back then! This is a perfect gift for those going to college. Vegan or not. It could plant the seed! Thanks PETA!

Vegetable nachos!

My favorite is microwaved brown rice (comes frozen) and a can of black beans!

Anything microwavable

I like apple slices and natural peanut butter for a quick snack.

Ramen noodles, baby!

potatoe soup:)

Im trying to eay more healthy, and my friend is a Vegetarian I want to surprise her with something tasty and animal free.

My fave dorm-friendly veg recipe? Mostly I stick to a bagel with tofutti better than cream cheese, or fresh fruit, or cocoa krispies with banana slices and vanilla silk. Oh, and fake turkey, fake cheese, and veggie mayo on bread. That's about all I can really make...

oh geez, how am I going to live off this stuff for 2-3 more years?! lol

I want this book so bad...and I'll order it even if I don't win, but I'd have to wait til late June! I'd love to hear on June 2nd that I won, especially since June 3rd is my bday!

Phew, just made it with about 40 minutes left of May 26th to spare!

Microwaves didn't exist back when I was in college, but I lived at home. ;-) I never really learned how to cook, so my microwave is my most important appliance. Still, when in doubt, the old two slices of bread + whatever in the middle stays a standby for me.

English muffin pizzas:
Split the muffin, add a dab of jarred pizza sauce, shredded cheese, sliced olives, sliced canned mushrooms, sliced onion, and pop in the micro til the cheese melts.

I'm an awful cook! I have only a few things I can make good.
Any easy recipes would make my life better.

My fave is just a big veggie stirfry. Onions/green peppers/red peppers/yellow peppers (any peppers)/jalapenos, with some mock chicken thrown in. Delicious!

Morning Star Asian Burgers crumbled and put in a tortilla wrap with grilled onions, some sprouts, and some soy sauce! Quick and easy AND DELICIOUS!!!

I just recently became a vegetarian and it's really hard to find good vegetarian recipes. I've just been having a lot of fruit and oatmeal :)

This book would be amazing as I am a poor student working full time! No time to use a stove! Geeet real!

tofu fried rice (as opposed to egg fried rice). its easy to make- cook the rice. Fry onions and garlic in a frying pan, add tofu, peas & the cooked rice.
:)

My fav processed thing to cook in the microwave is a kind of quiche. It has fake bacon in it and is mixed with scrambled tofu, herbs, vegan melt cheese, potatoe slices, and onion. Mix it all together and microwave for 6mins!!!

From scratch, I enjoy heating apple slices and making a caramel dip from heating just sugar and caramel flavor together. Yummy!!
