Guest guest Posted July 10, 2003 Report Share Posted July 10, 2003 Would any of you know of a recipe for making vegie pepperoni? I can't seem to find any . The reason why I ask, is because, what they have out on the market, I can't use, because they have alot of sodium in it. I can't have salt. Hope everyone is doing well. Thanks!!!

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Go to our recipe files and look in the pasta folder, there are tons of great recipes to make. Also the salad folder. Donna Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry " Mel " <sylkwood Fri, 24 Jul 2009 14:18:57 Hello everyone!!! A friend sent me this email and I need some help please... " My neighbor is suppose to have her baby ANY minute now, and they are a really nice couple. Im planning on making up a meal to take over for them for their first night home. I was wondering if you had any ideas for a fix ahead meal that was good hot or cold. The only thing is, she doesn't eat meats very much, cause of digestive issues. I can't think of any vegetarian type meals that would work, be felling, and be like a comfort food. If you have ANY ideas, I would SO love to hear them! Take care! " Thank you!!

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 I suggest spaghetti, lasagna, a quiche, large pasta salad, sandwich wraps, chili, enchiladas or a casserole and the recipe files have recipes for all these dishes. I get recipes out of there all the time and make. Chico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Mexican and Italian dishes are easy, filling and will be appreciated. Even a good stew or soup with salad. It's so nice of you to take homemade food.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Mel, A vegetarian lasagna would be good. You can make it the " vegetarian lasagna " way--creamy " alfredo " flavored sauce, broccoli, zucchini, grated carrot...some cheeses in layers with noodles (maybe also spinach) or, you can use the meatless (but flavorfully seasoned) tomato sauce, chopped up mushrooms, maybe some of the veggies (I add finely chopped zucchini, onion, mushrooms if I have them...) and, if you like, you can also add (or not) vegearian " grounds " of any kind you like, instead of ground m**ts. Make sure there is lots of good cheese in it, too--that makes it rich tasting and, IMHO, a VERY " comforting " food. A couple of weeks ago, I made a take-over pan of lasagna for a married couple I know. The husband is vegetarian and the woman is occasionally " flex " , but nearly always eats " veg " . I asked them ahead of time, " Do you want it vegetarian or not? " and they both said, " Yes, of course! " They like Quorn, so I told them that was what I'd be using and they thought it sounded good. I had never cooked Quorn in a dish like lasagna, but I had a very good " don't boil the noodles " lasagna recipe I had used years before with the " traditional " ingredients. I first called a good friend to double-check to see how to make the quantity of the recipe I wanted--when it's " no-boil " , the liquid has to be a certain amount of it doesn't cook the noodles properly. Next, I mixed up the sauce, grated a lot of cheese, and made (per recipe) a " mixture " of it (has an egg added into the ricotta or cottage cheese/shredded mozzarella layer)...then, I browned a batch of thawed Quorn " balls " --they're seasoned really nicely--and mixed in about half a bag of the Quorn " grounds " (which are rather plain-flavored, IMHO). I stirred the " grounds " all into the sauce as I heated it and added more onion and herbs to the jarred sauce I had heating. I also added a can or two of tomato paste. That thickens the sauce, which can be a little runny. Anyway, when the sauce was JUST the flavor I liked, I made the lasagna: 1 cup sauce on the bottom of the pan... then, THREE (3) UN-cooked lasagna noodles. Next, a layer of sauce (about 1 1/2 cups or so) then, a layer of the cheese/egg mixture More sauce, then 3 more noodles, then sauce, cheese, sauce, and 3 noodles. Top layer # 3 with sauce, then some cheese mixture (if there is any left) and, finally, sprinkle some loose shredded mozzarella cheese and, if desired, grated or shredded parmesan-type cheese. This pan of lasagna is covered tightly with heavy foil and baked at 375 for about 45 minutes, then, the foil is removed and it bakes 15-25 minutes more uncovered--if it's still liquidy when foil comes off, it needs to go longer to cook off some of the liquid. Baking with the foil lets the liquid of the sauce cook the noodles, which expand and fill the pan nicely. I made TWO pans of this lasaga with Quorn and the " no-boil " method. One, I took to my friends and the other I had at home for my DH and me to have for supper. It was the day before my DH was supposed to be out of town for 4 days for meetings and sort of my " going away " present to him.. He LOVED it, despite his verbalized doubts over my using " that Quorn stuff " instead of his expected ingredient. Ha! I won him over! He asked for seconds! My friends called me the next day to thank me over and over for their supper, which I had supplemented with some fresh green beans and a strawberries and cake dessert. For your friend, Mel, take her something that you LIKE, that you think tastes GOOD, and, if it's a traditional food that you modify to make it vegetarian, so much the better. If it's a " traditional " food that is already vegetarian, that's likely to be a hit, too! Macaroni and cheese, for example, a potato casserole with cheesy-savory flavors, a pasta dish, a rice dish, just about anything would surely be appreciated. It says you care and that's the main important thing here! I wish you all the best and prayers for your friend's baby's safe and joyous birth! --Laura B., in Illinois Hello everyone!!!
