I bought Yves brand "Meatless Ground" from Trader Joe's to see how it would taste as a ground beef substitute for my spaghetti. Not bad but not totally great. It definitely doesn't have that "beefy meaty" taste I used to love and that I, quite honestly, miss. The good thing is that since it's made from soy, it has 0 cholesterol.
It LOOKS like ground beef at least.
I planned on making it for my dinner tonight and was pretty excited until I came home from the gym only to walk into a house that smelled like bbq chicken wings. It really hurt my feelings because I just love wings. So I was pretty bitter as I cooked my spaghetti.
Oh well. The spaghetti (pic is not mine) was pretty good and I'd make it again for one of those quick go-to meals. The sauce is Ragu because I'm lazy and classy like that. Shut it.

The fake meat was the hardest part for me too. You find creative ways to use it, and tofu is good in a lot of dishes as well.
okay, fake meat just makes me sad :(
but yay for no cholesterol?
I am not huge on fake meats, some are ok, some not so much. I usually "beef" things up with tons of veggies and spices.
just be careful with mark's soy intake. there was a recent article linking soy to low sperm count...just sayin', in case you want to make one of those really attractive-looking babies above. ;)
Ewww fake meat :)
It's a good idea though as my parents are veggietarians and I never know what to cook when they're over.
Good for you trying something new. I don't know if I can do fake meat. I am actually making a meat sauce for pasta Saturday night (race night) for the next 5k. I just may have to check this out.
PS. I just posted a new goal/challenge on SP. Check it out. I know you will want it.
That's quite the recommendation ;)
Gross!
I just can't do it. You are stronger than I am. Wait...you can quit meat and dairy...are you still smoking?
Yuck.
