Guest guest Posted July 24, 2004 Report Share Posted July 24, 2004 I don't think I clearly stating I wanted a reply to two of my emails. Sorry about that. One was how to properly substitute Soy milk for Cow's milk. The other was ideas for easy to make, easy to eat party food. If they are also easy to cook a couple of days before then heat up/ freeze/ cool off that would be wonderful also. I have many from my Vegetarian Times magazines, but I would have to try those out so many times for them to work.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2004 Report Share Posted July 24, 2004 I really don't have a reply for your milk question. When I was vegan, I subsituted soy milk for cow milk all the time and never had any problems. The only thing I did differently was that I would use plain soy milk for cooking (unless I was baking something sweet), whereas I used vanilla soy for drinking. What is the specific problem you are having with substituting? Um, I don't know much about party food. Most food parties I attend are potlucks where everyone brings a dish. iseemarshmellows <squinkabink wrote: I don't think I clearly stating I wanted a reply to two of my emails. Sorry about that.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2004 Report Share Posted July 24, 2004 I usually have the problem that the soy milk makes everything too thick...and I just add some water in with the soymilk. There is really never a problem with consistancey for me other than having to thin it out. If you have issues with it being watery, try adding a wee bit of cornstarch. It thickens things well and doesn't add flavor that I have noticed, although if you add too much there probably will be. As for a party food - I do a seven layer type dip with beans, guacamole, salsa, vegan sour cream, soy cheese, lettuce and tomatoes. Usually goes over well. You can also do vegan " pigs in a blanket " with some biscut dough and some tofu pups. Most people don't notice the tofu pups are such unless I tell them. Hope that is helpful ~Mel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 25, 2004 Report Share Posted July 25, 2004 Same here. that's why I didn't answer before either. We have used soymilk for cow milk many times without problems. In fact, as opposed to being too watery, we found it to be a bit thicker and creamier. We prefer to use it when cooking, especially for gravies and sauces because of this. And one of the most popular things we had as party food at Christmas (with veggies and meat-eaters alike) were these little " meat " pies made by putting the " meat mixture " into biscuits and folding them over it before baking. I can get the recipe from my mother-in-law if this sounds like something you want to make. , reptile grrl <reptilegoddess> wrote: > I really don't have a reply for your milk question.
