Comments: What Will You Be Grilling This 4th of July?
Comments
My personal favourite things to put on a veggie burger is actually a little bit like the vegan version of a Whopper from Burger King. I love to put some lettuce, tomato, some veganaise, and some ketchup on mine.
Of course, other toppings could be added as well, but for me it's almost all about the sauce!
We love BBQ veggie and tofu kabobs. Just marinate extra firm tofu, slice it up in half inch slabs and slide it on the skewers with peppers and onions. So delicious and everyone, even the carnivores, will eat them all up!!
I found this recipe watching food network and it kicks up anything...Especially veggie burgers....
"Carmelized onion and jalapeno relish"...
Heat up 2 Tbsp olive oil in skillet, add in 2 large yellow onions thinly sliced, salt, pepper, 1/2 cup bottled sliced or chopped jalapeno peppers(drained), and 1/2 cup dark brown sugar. Saute 15 minutes or until carmelized. Yum!
Oh man. I LOVE grilling my boca burger with a little bit of melted cheese on top, slapping it on a bun, adding lettuce, tomatoes, green peppers and honey mustard.
OMG. Best thing EVER !
And I love Morningstar farms' mini corn dogs too :D
P.S: Those tofu kabobs sound amazing. I'm going to try that for my block party.
I'm going to a 4th of July pot luck with non-veggies--I'm bringing Veggie Corn Dogs with plenty of yellow mustard, deli mustard and ketchup, and roasted potatoes with onion, garlic, tri-color bell pepper and fresh rosemary-yum. Hope they like it.
Very tastie as well, a Dutch recipe;
It's simple; get the stem out of chapignons (mushroom) and fill them with a spicy blue cheese, like dana or bleu d'auvergne. Put them in a layer of tinfoil and put them on the BBQ, mmm!
Or make sticks with slices zucchine, pepper, corn, onion etc.... marinate with garlic oil, pepper and salt, voila!
Have nice vegetarian BBQ, I know I will!

Like it says "Don't bring your fighting face to the party", that is what I always have to do when it comes to BBQ's. I usually don't like going to barbques for the simple reason it's all about MEAT! Ugh!! So tired & bored of the same old big deal of ribs,burgers,dogs & sometimes fish. Unfortuneatly in the past I did make exceptions because I was without vegetarian protien all day & lacked the education to know better. I found myself unexpectingly being invited to barbeques over the yrs so no time to prepare with tofu, beans, nuts etc. It was usually fish, rarely thk goodness chicken, that I made the exception to eat. But fish r treated as cruely but worse in order to be food. So I'm commited to this now more than ever before my human brothers & sisters & fellow vegetarians. So sorry for giving in!! It pains me how long & how many times I have made these exceptions. No More!!
Stay commited,stick with our choice of a humane diet! Everyone will admire you for it, especially your stregnth & integrity.
Nothing better than a BIG FAT juicy portabella mushroom on the grill, next to fat wedges of fresh pineapple, a little mango salsa on a bed of lettuce followed by raw apple pie and coconut/date raw cookies....ginger limeaid.....who's ready?
I love the morning star farms vegetarian riblets, they are absoultely fabulous for a BBQ. Plus they aren't difficult to make just pop them in the microwave ;]
I'll be making the Portobello mushroom steaks as well as grilled potatoes with oil, garlic, and onions. We're also grilling some corn. We've got watermelon and strawberries for later as well.
Veggie cook out! Tofu chili dogs, veggie bratwursts, squash, zucchini, portabello mushroom caps, pineapple, and booze... I should have taken some pics b4 i ate all the food ^_^ num num num...lol

marinate tofu in whatever you like, then bbq it ontop of some tinfoil so it doesnt fall through the grill (as even the firmest tofu might)
grilled corn on the cob with some vegan margarine and seasoned salt (like at the fair)
gardenburger riblets are scrumtious and vegan (even my carnivore boyfriend loves them)
kabobs with yummy cherry tomatoes bell peppers and onion,
if you have the time make your own corn dogs--that way the batter is vegan(www.theppk.com/recipes/dbrecipes/index.php?RecipeID=271),
bake some homemade fries,
big huge bowl of potato salad and a load of fruit salad.
none of my friends even notice theyre being completely vegan. end the night with some beer pong and fireworks (soda for the non drinkers):D
