Stops you right in your tracks, doesn't it? This is the vegan version of my dad's amazing lasagna, which we have always had on Christmas Eve since I can remember. It is pretty basic with whole wheat noodles, cashew tofu ricotta from Veganomicon, bell peppers, an improvised tomato sauce, and a secret ingredient or two. Even though my brother complained about the lack of meat, he still went for seconds. Wouldn't you?
We served a similar lasagna last year when we had family friends present for dinner in addition to my family. It was my first holiday season as a vegan, and I was nervous as to how the improved version of this tradition would be received. I was amazed when one of our guests was raving about it and totally blown away when my dad revealed that it was vegan, and thus non-dairy. Such a reception is what any vegan would love to have from the average omnivore, and I'm glad to have gotten it during my first vegan Christmas.

All this cooking looks great. I got back last night from a few days in Thüringen and it was meat and sauerkraut as far as the eye could see. So I set-to with a grin and put away a manly portion (or three) at every meal. Details to come soon.
I hope you're going well, ich wünsche dir auch einen guten Rutsch!
I would love to make this lasagna, but unfortunately, husband hates it. Maybe I should make this for myself?
Holy cow that is some good looking lasgna.
