If you want to eat flavorful, nutrient-packed food without relying on animal protein or byproducts, adopting a vegan diet is worth considering. According to the staff at Lori's Natural Foods Center, there are several simple recipes you can try at home that provide a well-rounded introduction to vegan cuisine. Based in Rochester, NY, the organic deli has built a solid reputation for providing area residents with natural food and supplements to help them live more healthy, active lifestyles. 

Below, the staff at this local organic deli shares three delicious vegan recipes to try at home: 

  • organic deliTofu Omelet: Tofu is often used as a substitute for animal protein in vegan cuisine. For this filling, healthy breakfast, beat three vegan eggs in a bowl. Next, add salt and pepper to taste. Place the mixture in a skillet with extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Place the slices of tofu in the mixture, and flip it when you see small bubbles. Add roasted asparagus or a slice of vegan cheese for the filling. 
  • Refried Beans & Avocado Slices on Toast: All you need to make this quick rise-and-shine meal is a can of vegan refried beans, one ripe avocado, and a few slices of vegan bread. Toast the bread and slice the avocado while you heat the refried beans in a pan over low heat. Spread the beans on the toast and add the avocado slices on top. Sprinkle with salt and pepper for taste. 
  • Vegetables Over Pasta: If you’re craving something hearty, try this classic comfort food. Boil vegan or gluten-free pasta in a pan over medium heat until tender. While the pasta is cooking, place one cleaned and chopped onion and a package of washed cherry tomatoes in a baking pan. Drizzle olive oil, salt, and pepper over the vegetables. Then, place them in the oven at 350°F for 15 minutes or until the vegetables have started to brown. Once the pasta is ready, drain it and place the noodles in a bowl, then pour the vegetables on top and mix it together thoroughly.
