<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Kimberly and Regina,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks for reaching out. I hope you can make it on Saturday. Both meetings are usually fun, especially the cooking. All kinds of ideas are shared! And some of them even match the topic for the day! hahaha<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">But for starters, how about <o:p></o:p></p>
<ol style="margin-top:0in" start="1" type="1">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">Portobello mushrooms. I clean off the gills, and just sprinkle them with a little bit of dark sesame oil, balsamic vinegar and a little shoyu (soy sauce), but use whatever flavors
you like. Just grill them whole and put on burger buns with whatevers…. Or slice them to share in a salad.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">Grilled salad: grill romaine lettuce. I sprinkle with a little balsamic and shoyu again. Then cut up after for the salad.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">Grill other veggies like Japanese eggplant, zucchini, yellow summer squash, thick slabs of extra firm tofu that has been marinating for 30 minutes in a teriyaki sauce (shoyu, sweetener,
ginger, garlic, green onions).<br>
These can all be cut up and mixed together in a big salad. They all have the grilled flavor plus whatever you add, and don’t need any salad dressing.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">Grill lavash bread (the soft flatbread, not the hard crackers) or tortillas to make them a little crispy. They can be filled with stuff and made into wraps first and then grilled.
Or after grilling, spread something yummy on them and roll them up, or cut them into smaller pieces and dip them.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">There are lots of recipes online for vegan spinach artichoke dips. Salsa is vegan and low fat. Guacamole is vegan, not really low in fat though, but yummy.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">My favorite is grilled pizza. Use store bought dough or make your own. Grill the pizza dough for a few minutes. Then put on toppings and back into the grill. Here I close the grill
cover. We don’t use any cheese. For sauce, I use either thick marinara sauce or hummus, or pesto or a spicy Thai peanut sauce (a quick one is equal parts peanut butter and hoisin sauce). If the sauces are thick, then the veggies don’t fall off the pizza dough.
Or grilled French bread pizza with no cheese or meat, just the sauce and veggies.<o:p></o:p></li></ol>
<p class="MsoNormal">Bring up your question at the meeting Saturday and you will probably get many other great ideas, depending on who shows up.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Looking forward to meeting you then!<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hello Debbie and greetings from the great state of Georgia! My name is Kimberly Chichester and I am a fellow NFB member. The president of my chapter Joann Johnson, forward me the email regarding your zoo discussion on Saturday for Brill
and vegan cooking.. thank you in advance for holding these discussions. They are both a great interest to me however, I am doing everything I can to attend both sessions on Saturday. And I am hoping everything works out so I can be in attendance. During the
vegan cooking session, I noticed your topic is picnic foods and grilling. I had a question I wanted to ask in advance. If you could possibly discuss the question or send me some ideas that would be awesome.. I am somewhere between chicken Terrian pescatarian
and vegetarian but however, my sister-in-law is vegan. Whenever we have a cookout either at their house or ours I tend to eat what she is eating. However, I know every time we cook out here. My family always prepares either a black bean burger beyond burger,
or some type of veggie burger for us. And to be honest, it’s getting quite boring.. we have tried traditional having the burger patties on a bun and we’ve made burger wraps and burger salads. Could you possibly please suggest any other options that would be
great on the grill that is easy prep but still has a great grill taste, or something that could be easily enjoyed at a barbecue. I also know that we have tried the Tofurkey patties, vegan chicken, flavored fillets and tofu dogs, but they just don’t taste right
maybe we are doing something wrong. Thank you so kindly for your help and greatly appreciated.<o:p></o:p></p>
