Preparing Vegan Food Is Easy

(But it may be different than you are used to!)

Some easy ideas for you:
Tossed Salad, without dressing
Fruit Salad, without dressing (or whipped cream)
Rice
Steamed vegetables

Also check out the AVS Recipes page

and

You can visit some great websites for vegan recipes:

Other things to avoid:

The obvious things like meat (beef, pork, poultry and yes this includes fish and other "sea food") and eggs.

Please do not use dairy products in anything, i.e., milk, butter, cheese, ice cream, cream cheese, yogurt, or sour cream. You can purchase soy based alternatives for all these things -- again in the natural foods section of Carrs and Fred Meyers.

Please don't use regular mayonnaise in anything. It contains eggs. There are some vegan alternatives: Vegenaise and Nasoya are both vegan and they can be found in the natural foods section of Fred Meyers and Carrs.

Also, please do not use Jello (gelatin), marshmallows or honey in food for the potluck, as these are also derived from animals.
