Here's a treat that's easy and quick, and also great for movie night!
This is Phillip's recipe at Lovingraw:

Green Popcorn - A Lovingraw Original
Ingredients:
Cauliflower (1 whole chopped in popcorn size pieces)
Nutritional Yeast (a whole lot, just pour it in, maybe 4-8 heaping teaspoons)
Sea Salt (1 teaspoon or more)
Black Pepper (just shake it on)
Spirulina (make it green, 3 tablespoons, 5 if your hard core)
Olive Oil (2 teaspoons)
Water (just a splash)
 
How To:
Put it all in a gallon size zip lock bag and shake until your arms hurt.  You can make it cheesier by adding more yeast, greener by adding more spirulina, and sticky by adding raw honey (only do that if you are going to dehydrate).
You can eat it as-is, which I usually do, or you can dehydrate it overnight and it will shrink up into yummy little crunchy pieces.

Hi K,
You definitely don't have to give up chocolate to be vegan. Endangered Species Chocolates makes yummy dark chocolate that is vegan and gluten free. So Delicious also makes wonderful tasting soy based "ice creams" and "yogurt". The dark chocolate "ice cream" is my favorite when I really need that chocolate fix. It's so creamy you don't miss dairy at all. I have provided some links below. For cheese, there are many soy based alternatives but cashew parmesan is my favorite. It's so easy to make, you just combine equal parts raw cashews, nutrional yeast and 1/4 tsp salt in a food processor. Goes great on veggie pizza or sandwiches.

What are you eating? How long have you been doing this? Some people go through an adjustment period. Need more info.

Cheers,
Kristen
