Vegetarian Food Vegetarian Food Getting Started Easy Vegetarian Recipes Vegan Recipes From Jolinda Hackett, your Guide to Vegetarian Food I have a theory that even the most grown up among us love indulging in versions of our favorite childhood comfort foods from time to time. Of course, one of the advantages of being an adult is that you can make your comfort foods even better. Like grilled cheese? Make your childhood grilled cheese even better by adding vegetarian bacon.Yes, that's right. Or try grown-up versions of your favorite childhood meals. Here's a few fun (mostly!) grown-up comfort food meals to try. Grown up grilled cheese Simply by calling a grilled cheese sandwich a  "panini" it sounds more grown up already, doesn't it? Use artisinal cheeses for your grow up grilled cheese sandwiches - er, paninis - and browse a few of these recipes for inspiration: Grilled portabello and mozarella sandwich Grilled cheese with vegetarian "bacon" Apple cheddar panini Camembert panini More of my personal favorite sandwiches (including a vegetarian reuben!) Grown up macaroni and cheese You're never too old for macaroni and cheese, and I certainly recommend that all vegans have their own favorite way to make macaroni and cheese. Here's mine. Here's a few more ways to make a comforting classic past and cheese dish while still claiming to be all grown-up:   Pasta with spinach and ricotta (pictured) Tomato and basil pasta with asiago cheese Italian mascarpone and gorgonzola pasta sauce (just saying that out loud sounds grown-up, doesn't it?) Macaroni and cheese with apples and panko Vegan "fried chicken"  Fried chicken is a classic American comfort food (so I'm told!), so why not try a vegan version if you're in need of some home-cooked comfort? Here's a few varieties to try: Vegan fried "chicken" from seitan Breaded tofu nuggets (one of my all-time favorite recipes!) Tofu hot wings (pan-fried AND covered in sauce? Yes, please!) Search Related Topics:  seitan recipes  meat substitutes  vegetarian recipes Vegan chocolate chip bacon sea salt cookies Do you even have to ask why?Because. That's why. Did I mention the bacon? And the chocolate? And that they're dusted with sea salt? Chocolate chip cookies are the ultimate in comfort foods, and this recipe just kicks it up a notch. A BIG notch! Want something tamer?
