Some Adventist recipes

[Guest guest]

I thought some might be interested in some " traditional " Seventh-day

Adventist recipes since they have a tradition of vegetarianism going back

over 100 years. I say traditional because they were often served for

Sabbath dinners and after church potlucks. When I was growing up, no

stranger at church would leave without one or two invitations to homes for

Sabbath dinner. Of course, those were the days when the majority of our

moms were not working, and Sabbath dinners were planned and prepared for the

most part on Fridays.

 

Growing up, we seldom had ethnic foods. In fact, even today, there are

many Adventist vegetarians who don't (gasp) even have any garlic in their

pantry. Food was normally bland, no black pepper, no chilis of any kind.

There were always one or two families of " health fanatics' " (vegans, ha!)

per church who would have to bring their own entrees to potlucks to avoid

all the eggs in loaves and obligatory melted cheese atop all the casseroles.

They usually brought beans....

 

So, anyway. I thought I would send along a few of them to show how

people coped with vegetarianism before it became fashionable.

 

I'll start with an all time Adventist favorite. It's some combination

of cottage cheese and cereal. Usually with gravy. Sometimes the gravy is a

package of Loma Linda Gravy Quick, and sometimes a cream of mushroom, or

tomato soup based sauce. Always, cottage cheese and eggs.

 

 

There's a story with this first one. Years ago, probably the early

seventies, my mom helped out with a vegetarian cooking class at the church.

On the last evening they had a dinner for everyone who attended. She was

assigned this loaf. Being an inordinately thrifty woman, she was appalled

at the price of it, what with all the cottage cheese and ultra expensive

Special K, but made the loaf, and it was a success. After that, when

grocery shopping, she'd sometimes send me to grab some Special K and cottage

cheese for the loaf. I always felt she just couldn't bring herself to pop

those expensive items into the cart so I was the designated gofer.

This is from a cookbook written by Pastor's wives. It includes a menu,

and schedule for Friday and Sabbath day preparations for each week of the

year. This is for Spring - Menu #1. Oh, BTW, Adventists, even vegetarian

Adventists, usually eat Jell-O, although some use vegetarian gelatin, most

don't. ;-)

Now THIS book is from Doctor's Wives - ha. This is an early edition of

the book, and subsequent editions became more healthful with less eggs and

cheese, etc.

 

And patties instead of loaf. A rebel. I have no idea what brown egg

gravy is, and have no plans to find out, either. Blech.

Thanks for these SDA recipes, Bonni. I have lots of SDA cookbooks, which I

love. My favorites are the ones by Cheryl Thomas Peters, especially her latest

ones, " Choices " and " More Choices " .

I'm not SDA, but I sure love the store and cookbooks! I thought I would

tell the other list members about SDA stores, in case they aren't aware or

familiar with them. I don't know if *all* of them sell food products in their

stores, but many do, including the one we have here in the Atlanta area (for

those of you in Atlanta, it is on Memorial Dr. between Covington Hwy. and

Columbia Dr.). If you have a store near you, you just have to go! The one here

is known as the " ABC Store " (ABC for " Adventist Book Center " ). They sell lots

of cookbooks that you can't find anywhere else. The one near me also sells

other books relating to vegetarianism and nutrition. They also have a poster,

refrigerator magnet and other forms of the " vegetarian food pyramid " . I bought

one for my son several years ago for school. They sell a few other " mainstream "

type cookbooks, but I go to find the ones I can't find elsewhere. These are

great books for vegans too. The ones by Cheryl Thomas Peters I mentioned have

lots of recipes for things like tofu mayonnaise and sour cream and other things

like this you make make vegan substitutes for.

The food section is *great*. They have the largest selection of " meat

analog " type products I have ever seen. The food store section here is very

small, but they pack a lot of interesting products in that small space. There

are lots & lots of the Worthington Foods, Loma Linda, Natural Touch, etc. foods

(canned, boxed, and refrigerated/frozen). They sell the McKay's seasoning, and

G. Washington Sauce mix as well as a variety of Loma Linda gravies. They also

have Emes vegetarian " gelatin " . They used to sell the Emes vegan marshmallows,

but the company quit making them (I'm still upset about this). They have a

refrigerator and freezer and sell those type of products too. It's also the

only place I have seen that sells various veggie burgers, " chik nuggets " , and

such in large quantities. These could be handy for a cookout or if you ever

need to make a large quantity of food.

I found the following online directory if anyone would like to find out if

there is a store near them:

Hope this is helpful!
