Hello all... New here, so bare with me if I'm beginning a conversation that's already been had. I haven't made it 100% to veganism, but I'm pretty darn close! Soon I hope.<br><br><br><br>
So, I'm having a little brunch this Sunday, to which a couple strict vegan friends will be coming. I'm making French Toast (both vegatarian and vegan styles) as the main course.<br><br>
The problem I'm having:<br><br><br><br>
Other than fruit, I can't think of what else to prepare! I want something light and tasty, but not another bread/startch item, since the toast will be pretty heavy. (I'm actually making New Orleans Pain Perdu.) That being said, scones, biscuits, grits, cooked oatmeal, and the like are all kinda out. I was thinking tofu scramblers, but I'm concerned that will be a bit heavy and more of a main course kinda thing.<br><br><br><br>
So, and suggestions are SOOOOO welcome and appreciated!<br><br><br><br>
Many thanks,<br><br>

Fruit with vegan whipped cream would go well with the French toast. If your friends are not opposed to processed foods you could offer some veggie sausage. Gimme Lean makes vegan sausage.<br><br><br><br>
P.S No one can be 100% vegan. Just try to do the least harm. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/smiley.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="">

Try making fruit syrups by doing the following:<br><br>
Combine 2 cups of a fruit -- such as strawberries with 1/2 cup of sugar, 3Tbsp of cornstarch and 1 cup of water. I am guesstimating these amounts, so you may need to adjust. Stir well, and then heat in a sauce pan over the stove at about medium heat until you end up with a nice, thick chunky fruit syrup to put over your french toast.
