a dinner report

[Guest guest]

Tonight I had a baked potato and a salad, but I fixed

this nice vegan gravy with mushrooms to put on the

potato; quite yummy. I didn't use a recipe, but cooked

about 6 large sliced shrooms in a bit of vegan margarine,

then added a cup of veggie broth and a teaspoon of dried

onion soup mix. I let this all simmer covered for a while,

added some flour mixed with water and a bit of cornstarch

to thicken it before serving, then seasoned with salt and

pepper.

What did everyone else have?

Sweet dreams to all!

Hi, PT!

 

That gravy you made sounds delicious, and I will keep that idea in mind!

(((thanks for that)))

 

Last night, I prepared Joanne Stepaniak's recipe for (seitan) " Ribs "

The recipe is in her book, " Vegan Vittles "

The seitan was simple to make by mixing vital wheat gluten with nutritional

yeast, and a bit of onion powder and garlic powder - then, mixed water + lite

soy sauce into the dry ingredients....

(I know I'm supposed to avoid soy products [because I'm hypothyroid], but a

teensy bit here and there is one of my guilty pleasure, I guess...lol)

 

Gonna serve the ribs again, tonight, with potatoes (with melted almond

cheese) and broccoli salad. Fruit for dessert.

 

Also made the " Tofu Bacon " from the same book last week -

it was delicious!

i made a thai red curry with fried tofu and green

beans. i just mixed a can of red curry paste and a

can of coconut milk together and let them cook down a

bit. i added fried tofu and a bag of frozen green

beans, let it cook until the sauce got to be the

consistency i like and the green beans are heated

through. added some slivered keffir lime leaves and

served it over rice. it was delicious.

I am glad you enjoyed the gravy idea, Cherie. It is really

easy to make a delicious vegan gravy.

 

Thanks for posting about what you made for dinner, too.

I saw at our local Chinese restaurant that they offer a

gluten-veggie dish, and I suppose that is actually seitan

but they listed it in their menu as gluten maybe b/c folks

might not know what seitan is. (?) *lol* Somehow I don't

think gluten chunks sounds as appetizing as seitan

chunks! I have got to get some of Joanne Stepaniak's

cookbooks, she sounds like a vegan who really knows

her stuff.

 

I had a question for you, too. What happens if you eat too

much soy when you are hypothyroid? TIA

These are the days you might fill with laughter until you

break. These days you might feel a shaft of light make its

way across your face. And when you do you'll know how

it was meant to be. See the signs and know their meaning.
