definitely chili with cornbread!
Oh yes! Thanks for hosting this lovely giveaway! I love a nice hearty lentil soup, especially when paired with a massaged kale salad and rustic bread.
Thanksgiving: mashed potatoes, Martha Stewart’s Mushroom Gravy (veganized), tofurkey, dinner rolls, and pie!
Hmm…I love a good Irish stew, chock full of potatoes, carrots, and chunks of seitan!
A hearty spaghetti with meat (“crumbles”) sauce with spinach salad and garlic bread.
I love veggie and dumpling soup. Yum yum!
Chickpea Potato Curry over brown rice!! I just love it!
I love a good southwestern-style chili–beans, tomatoes, peppers, sweet potatoes, corn, with lots of cumin and chili powder. YUM!
MIne has to be a whole-wheat, vegan pizza! Thanks for the giveaway! :-)
Cholent (vegan of course) is pretty hearty and good!
Chili and cornbread!
Cheeze grits with plenty of onions, kale, smokey soycurls, baked sweet potato slices, and BBQ sauce, all in a big bowl with parsley on top. :3 Mmmm.
Right now I’d say my favorite is either chili, or a baked potato with steamed broccoli and cheesy sauce.
Mmmm, any kind of really thick soup or stew. The kind that only needs a crusty bread to go with it to make a complete meal.
Definitely mac n cheese! Oooh now I’m craving it…
I love chili on a bed of sweet potato fries! So warm and filling
I love a holiday meal with mashed potatoes, stuffing, and lots of veggies!
any kind of meatless Shepherd’s Pie drives me CRAZY with food lust! i love giveaways, thank you :)
I just got a review copy of this, and I can’t wait to be done with my 3-week cleanse so I can start trying recipes!! So please don’t include me in the contest. I just wanted to say how awesome I know this book is!!
I really like FFV’s recipe for an easy potato soup. Add some carrots and Irish soda bread and it’s a pretty delicious meal.
Mac & Cheese – can’t beat it.
Vegan mac and cheese!
Vegan meatloaf, mashed or roasted potatoes, and a green vegetable. Or a big homemade indian feast. Both so good.
awesome! my favorite hearty meal is mashed potatoes with gravy and mac and cheese!
thanks!
Everything you made here looks absolutely amazing. I want it all.
My favorite hearty meal: chili and rice! So simple, yet so satisfying, too.
I love a plate of gnocchi in a rich pesto sauce.
drooling at the thought of veganized funnel cakes (!!!) with cake batter ice cream…that’s hearty right? :)
vegan potato leek soup with toasted rosemary bread cheers me up every single time :)
Either veggie chili or really anything Indian with rice and potatoes. SO FILLING.
i’d be so thrilled to win this. the memory of new-year’s-eve seitan bourguignon over homemade pasta is fresh in my mind…definitely hearty as all get-out.
Pasta. Anything with pasta. :)
I think of chili when the words ‘hearty’ and ‘food’ are used together. Or something with potatoes.
a good soup or stew, especially right now in the winter. I made roasted root veggies soup with collards and white beans tonight that was yummy.
My favorite hearty meal is nachos. My base is chips, then I add beans, ‘no heat’ jalapenos, tomatoes, avocado, and a homemade ‘cheese’ sauce made with tahini and nooch. If I don’t have those things, I might thin out some hummus and add that to the nachos. Always good and very filling!
Mac n cheese
Like others above, chili is the first to pop into my head! My standby recipe is from The New Moosewood Cookbook that I’ve been making for years. I love the texture the bulgar wheat adds!
My favorite is chili infact anytype of chili that is vegan friendly.
Thick squash soup with a side of warm cornbread and broccoli or brussels sprouts! Your pictures are always great (the Pesto Pea-Damame Soup in this post, in particular, but also your outdoor shots are lovely)!
My favorite hearty meal is butternut squash mac and “cheese.”
