These are ovo-lacto, but most of the ingredients could be subbed for a comparable soy product

Also, this recipe for Shepherd's Pie..modified with veggie crumbles instead of lamb/beef. We had dinner with leftovers, and it cost maybe $6 for the entire meal. :rockon

Katie- we use DeBoles GF penne...I just make sure I cook it just to al dente, and rinse it well with cold water before using it. :heart

I've been using Mrs. Leepers (I always feel like a huge dork saying the name though) and their brown rice multi-coloured rotini can pretty much pass for "real" pasta.

What are veggie crumbles exactly?

That pasta sounds SO good, bookmarking this...

They are the fake ground beef. They're in the frozen section. Boca and Morningstar both make them.

I'm making Sweet Potato Soup tonight. It is SO delicious, and freezes well. I always do a double batch. I was going to do a quad batch and freeze for baby meals, but I didn't buy enough sweet potatoes. :doh The secret is to let it cook 'til it's really creamy. I usually cook it at least an hour and a half, maybe two. It also improves the flavor to let the sweet potatoes really carmelize before you put them in the soup.

There's a bit of diary; I don't see a problem converting it if necessary. :)
