Guest guest Posted October 22, 2000 Report Share Posted October 22, 2000 hi rashunda, where in NC do you reside? i have visited around there in part just to eat! let me know, as I may be able to refer you to a few areas. as far as fast goes, stick to fast cook grains and beans, or make a large batch of brown rice and fridge it, add canned beans you spiced up. when i know i am going to have a hectic week, i spend one day off ahead of time to go to the market, get all my veg and fruits, and preprep it up. that way i know i have everything ready and i just have to grab a handful of whatever is handy in the fridge and toss it in a pot. it is a big relief to have sliced onions, peppers, carrots, celery, and washed fruits handy. i make a big container of brown rice and fridge it, that way i can saute veggies and throw in a couple scoops of rice and wala! dinner is served. as for tofu, i take extra firm, freeze, defrost & drain, cube, and then saute in a nonstick till firming a bit, then i douse it with fajita seasoning and nutritional yeast which gives it a crunchy firm and tasty coating. saute a bit more, and then fridge. i put this in salads (like croutons), as well as pretty much anything else, mexican, rice and beans, whatever. good luck! laurie - " Rashunda Tramble " <rashunda Saturday, October 21, 2000 11:51 PM NEW MEMBER! > Hi all, > My name is Rashunda and I'm new to the list.

I only started to do much cooking this summer. I am interested in using spices better than I currently do. What spices do you prefer for canned beans?

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2000 Report Share Posted October 22, 2000 hey steve, i like to do some of these: i add all sorts of things to black beans (my fave), like salsa and cilantro, or lime juice and cilantro, or a pureed chipolte pepper and you guessed it--cilantro. one of my fave herbs, i grow a lot of it fresh and just grab a handful. and always a whole lots of garlic. i use minced, roasted, and also granulated or powdered. cumin works well too. i also like to add minced red onion, raw or slighlty carmelized. lentils i make fresh, with lemon juice, and i will toss in garlic, coriander, onion powder, sometimes a bit of cinnamon, or dill. if i use dill, i use a lot and toss in frozen spinach and some canned tomatoes. or i make a mash by doing just the beans, and then puree in the processer or blender. white beans i use dill and coriander, garlic, onion powder. sometimes i use fresh rosemary (or powder) instead of dill. i use a drizzle a balsamic reduction sometimes too. chickpeas i like to add anything to. i don't usually eat them whole, but sometimes i will throw them in tomato broth for a quick meal. i usually puree them with tahini and lemon juice, pepper, garlic ect. i also love to add everything on hand, paprika, hot sauce, olives, lime, roasted garlic and red peppers, basil, rosemary, cilantro, dill, whatever i have that needs using. for all of these things i also always add a pinch of sea salt and fresh cracked pepper and white pepper. sometimes i use tamari instead to give that almost smoky flavor. oh yes, almost forgot. i love to use chipolte peppers that are canned in adobo sauce. they are HOT so beware, but i drizzle a bit of the adobo sauce into bean mashes and it adds a hickory flavor. very tasty! and then there are salads, just add beans to whatever you have: diced peppers, red onions, soy beans, peas, corn, artichoke hearts, hearts of palm, scallions, whatever. then drizzle with vinegar or fruit juice (lemon, orange, lime), and add fresh herbs. i like to make things like this and add couscous or rice, or add greens and make a wrap. good luck, i hope this helps. laurie - " Steve Kendall " <skendal Sunday, October 22, 2000 9:50 AM Re: NEW MEMBER! > aphrodite wrote: > > > make a large > > batch of brown rice and fridge it, add canned beans you spiced up. > > I only started to do much cooking this summer.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2000 Report Share Posted October 22, 2000 cilantro is also known as coriander. This name is more common in some areas. - Steve Kendall Sunday, October 22, 2000 7:36 AM Re: NEW MEMBER! aphrodite wrote:> > hey steve,> i like to do some of these:> i add all sorts of things to black beans (my fave), like salsa and cilantro,> or lime juice and cilantro, or a pureed chipolte pepper and you guessed> it--cilantro.

A very simple recipe I have is to take diced potatoes (frozen if you want) fry in a little oil till soft, add some broccoli and corn, then whatever you have in the fridge and freezer. Cook till the potatoes are browned. I like to add a little lemon salt and cayenne, but if you adjust this to yr taste you can't go wrong. Good luck, L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 27, 2003 Report Share Posted July 27, 2003 Hi all! I am new on this list and thought I should introduce myself. My name is Liberty Campbell, I am 19 (almost 20) and I have been vegan for 7 months. It is the best thing I have done. I was vegeterian for a couple of years before that. My mom and one of my sisters are both vegan also and another sister is vegeterian. We love to experiment with new vegan recipes and I am looking foreward to swapping them with you all.
