Vegetarian Vegin-In Delivery Service Makes Eating Vegan Easy
Posted by Jo-Jo Jackson on Wed, Dec 14, 2011 at 7:19 AM
Vegin-In’s concept is convenient and healthy. For $80, you get 12 meals worth of food — if you do the math it works out to $6.67 a meal — that includes three entrees, four sides, a dessert and a soup with three to four servings in each dish. And it's actually even cheaper right now — $70 instead of $80 under a current introductory promotion.
There's also an a la carte option, available for pickup only at the Vegin-In kitchen near I-65 and Harding Place. Check the website for details.
Michelle Angarita runs the new Nashville location. She's both a chef and a registered dietitian.
Menu choices vary from week to week, but you look for tasty-sounding dishes like stir-fried seitan “duck” with veggies and brown rice, Caribbean quinoa salad with sweet plantains and raisins or applesauce cake with golden raisins and a maple glaze. Gluten-free options are available, too.
It sounds pretty appetizing, and vegan cuisine (a variation on vegetarian that also avoids eggs and dairy) is attracting even non-vegetarians who are looking for a healthy, plant-rich diet.
Besides providing made-from-scratch “ethically vegan” food, Vegin-In works to be ecologically responsible, sourcing ingredients from local farmers when possible, and delivering foods in biodegradable, compostable corn-based containers.
You can order online at vegin-in.com or call 445-4445, and there’s free delivery on weekly meal orders within 20 miles of the Vegin-In kitchen.

The quinoa salad sounds awesome. Might have to wait for a report back on the "duck." I've been burned too many times by vegan facsimiles of classic meat staples. I prefer my proteins without the "air bunnies," as Gloria on MODERN FAMILY would say.
Also, seitan just ain't gonna cut it after the Peking duck Jack Silverman brought the other day from his Chinese-restaurant find. Oops, was that the sound of forks clattering?

dislikeIt is so nice that those of us who do not eat dead, abused animals, pus-laden cow secretions, and chicken menstruation (eggs) and bee vomit (honey) have a new option. We are in Nashville for a short while from San Francisco and are stunned at the lack of cruelty-free, healthy eating at local restaurants. Welcome Vegin-in!!
Ask the turnip, wrenched from the bosom of Mother Earth, how he feels about your "cruelty-free eating." Ask the carrot, its roots shrieking for nutrients as they're ripped from the soil, about the vainglory of your "new option." And don't think celery's having any fun either. What else do your Seitanic majesties request? Live hummus sacrifice?
Terri, the important thing is that you aren't bitter.
Bless your heart.
Terri, I'm sure the dead field mice, birds, earthworms, and all other manner of living things that die to produce your soy and seitan are sooooo happy that you turned out to be such a self-righteous twit.
Bluephelia, I checked the links and they appear OK on this end. Here's the URL to the homepage, if it helps:
