Come join the Vegan Home Cooks!

Be nice and supportive, no one cares about your criticism or fixes. If it isn't nice and positive your comment will be removed
This is a public forum for a discord server of friends who are all vegans and cook at home for their families.
We are here to share some inspiration, to see what others are doing and to stay engaged in something that is both our hobby and a required task.
This forum is not a "food porn" community, a recipe book or a place to teach you how to cook. It is a place for people who already cook to meet other people like themselves and provide on topic support and conversation as much as long distance friends on the internet can do. We are doing show and tell about what we made and we don't care about its instagram worthiness.
Veganism isn’t a diet but I have to eat every day. This is for the vegan home cooks. Anything non vegan will be deleted.
Rules
1. Be Vegan.
If it is not vegan it doesn’t belong here… or anywhere.
2. Post home cooking.
No restaurant or fast food. This is what every other vegan space is about and we don’t want to promote any large or small business tyrants.
We’re an active community of vegan home cooks that like to talk about what we are cooking today.
4. Do not make any rude comments or digs at anyone’s food, cooking style, specific diet, restrictions or technique.
While we are all cooks, we all have different requirements and we’re not asking for help, we are doing show and tell.
5. Do not use trademarked brands
Use generic names. We’re cooking with tvp not whatever business brands it and we’re not trying to turn comrades into billboards. No plant-based vegan-pandering capitalist crap like Impossible, Beyond, Dairy-company owned “vegan” cheese.
6. Do not ask for a recipe without otherwise engaging the OP (No posts that are just “recipe?”)
We are not food bloggers. Sometimes we're excited to share and will tell you the recipes we used but this isn't required. Instead try doing your own research and tell us what you learned and we can talk about it.
7. Careful with making unasked for suggestions.
Sometimes we like to hear suggestions but you should be nice about it and know the person you are making suggestions to. We are in the discord and you can get to know us that way. If you are just a visitor from the fediverse, this isn’t the place for you to start telling other people what to do.
8. Grown Ups Only.
Cooking for our kids is great, Acting like one is not. While this isn't a community for adult material we expect everyone who participates to be an adult and act like one. Please follow the Anarchists Code of Conduct. No profane usernames allowed.
seasoned the sweet potatoes with adobo seasoning, baked for about 40 minutes at 400F; meanwhile made Mexican rice in the rice cooker (and it sucked, don't do it, the time you save isn't worth it) and topping of black beans, garlic, bell pepper, and serrano pepper. added a side of chips and salsa because why not, boom. tasty. except for the rice.
two things, i think: my rice cooker is hella cheap; in fact, it was free from someone on Craigslist i think. that doesn't mean it's bad, necessarily, but in this case the bottom of the rice was burnt and the top was soggy. also the taste of this ended up like fairly sweet. i am wondering if there was an issue with the tomato paste i used; when i open a can i freeze little tablespoon sized balls of tomato paste and i just tossed two of those in. it just ended up soggy and weirdly tomato-sweet.
that said, there are a couple folks who recommended this recipe, so if anyone wants to give it a shot and see, it's here.
