hey guys-

 

You all know I'm a not so quiet lurker... answering questions when I can!

Asking questions more often:O)!!

But I don't have MC , can I don't post recipes. My computer is from my

office, so I can't install the software.

But boy do I have ideas for you!!

I hosted Thanksgiving last year- which I think scared everyone because they

knew I wouldn't be cooking meat. I prepared the whole week before.. the

in-laws were coming and everything! ( they are definately not used to my

style of cooking- ( neither is my own family but they see it more often)

There's ofcourse those people who can't go a sinlge thanksgiving without

turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing and gravy and corn.( two of my sisters) So

I asked my mom to brign the turkey ( all cooked that morning) Then I

literally did the rest!

 

Here was the menu with some breif descriptions- very non traditional, but i

thought it was even better:

 

We started with Brocolli soup with RedBell pepper puree. ( this is a low fat

soup- you 'd never guess. it looks like pea soup- but it's mostlyjust

brocolli, pureed with simmered onions, garlic and spices. Then a roasted red

bell puree goes on top of the green and makes a swirl- just for decoration (

ok and yummytaste) I was surprised how much the in-laws loved it!

This soup was from Vegetarian Times 30 best lowfat recipes.

 

Then we moved to salad.. A mesclin mix with beets, toasted almond slivers

and goat cheese- with a lemon vinegrette.And fresh black pepper. One of my

sisters kept eating more salad- even after the meal.. I do beleive I got

this recipe from this list!

 

Mashed sweet potatoes were there- several ways to make them- with orange

juice, or maple syrup- whatever. Always a hit- but some still prefer the

ooey gooey candied yams.

 

Then- this has become my personal tradition, tha tmy mom loves so much that

I make it every year and she takes home any leftovers. This comes from a

vegetarian Times issue 2 full year ago i beleive. the thansgivign issue. I

beleive it's the wildrice and pecan stuffing. Bu tit's so much more than

that. Your are supposed to pick a squash- butternut, or acorn or something

and put the stuffing in it. Well half my family doens' tliek squah (

weirdos) so I make it without hte squahs now- but it's much more beautiful

in the squash on the plates. People flip! it's wildrice and brown rice

simmered in veg broth, red , yellow and orange peppers, celery, apples,

raisins, sage, rosemary, thyme, parsley, garlic- you name it- it's in there.

It's a flavor fiesta!! It has tamari, umeboshi and apple cider vinegars at

the end to add some kick. I personally feel that the combo of this stuffing

and a squash is perfect for the main course. ( then you woulnd't need the

sweet potatoes really ofcourse) ( IMAGINE JUST VEGETARIANS -AND THE SOUP ,

THE SALAD, THE SQUASH ALL STUFFED... WHAT PRESENTATION, COLORS AND TASTE!

what's more all are vegan- remove cheese form salad) I'm not the cook this

year- i'm sure i'll starve. lol. yup- i'll eat the mushy " green bean

casserole " made with campell soup and french onions someone always

brings-yuk)

 

There were other vegies at the table for the fussy ones- carrots, cream corn

for th elittle sis, and instant mashed potatoes for her as well- she won't

eat a yam.) **sigh**She's 23- she also won't eat tri colored pasta.( nothing

mixed)

 

From what I heard- the turkey was dry anyway.. ( poor mom) The inlaws said

it was somethign sooo different, they really loved it and they ate

everything and just couldn't beleive this is they way we eat. Now they

aren't so worried about their son! haha

 

If you are looking to replace the turkey- there's a baked marianted tofu

dish o got from this group. I make it often and I thought just last week i

may make it for thanksgiving for some protein for myself..)

 

Also- if you're in one of those italian houses where pasta needs to be at

thanksgiving- I have a recipe for jalepeno-pumpkin stuff shells with

rosemary cram sauce. ( these were yum!)

 

I'm excited already- i'll live vicariously through you this year, ok?? haha

 

Anyone- let me know which recipes you are interested, i'll look themup here

at home, give you the sources and you can find them with MC i think right?

 

yumyum!! and goodluck!

Hi!

wow- got some requests from that! Maybe you guys should all come to my

little place this year! LOL ( and help me cook!)

wouldn't that be fun?? haha

 

Anyway-

 

Anyone with MC who feels nice neough to post for the group-

 

here's some information on the recipes I mentioned.

 

The Brocolli soup is fromVegetarian Times October 1999 ( i can't belive i've

been making it this long??) October issue- 25 best low fat recipes ever.

 

The November 1999 VT issue full of different squahes and different

stuffings- so you could mix and match the stuffing and the squash. The one i

love is: Basmati with wild rice stuffing-you'll be drooling just reading th

eingredients. I used butternut squash- but i just had acron squah the other

day and i love it- this year i think i would use that- plus it fits on

plates better and i like the dark green outside.

 

Now the salad, the tofu and the pumpkinshells are from this group- i likely

have them printed in a folder and i can say who posted it and when - if i

can find them! haha

OK- the tofu was posted on Feb 7th, 2001- called sweet ginger tofu

( Ellen C posted it) Source was the modern vegetarian kitchen. I'd say this

truly does feed 4, too.- that helps to know!

Usually when it's done, it's still in a lot of liquid for me, so it'snice-

it's liek a gravy you can pour over mashed potatoes or over the tofu.. and

it's in slices- like skinny meatloaf or umm.. salisbury steak- yeah that's

the stuff. I make mine extra garlicky and gingery. ( always!) My fiance

doens't liek to eat plain tofu- but he goes nuts oer this stuff.

really.

 

salad posted by my pal Pat H ( kitpath) on september 28th, 2001. called beet

salad with montrachet and nuts. I liek this one becasue of the colors.. I

don't really follow the recipe except for the dressing. but it's a alad- so

you know- i just use the key ingrediets. no need measuring cups of leaves

and such! whatever... haha I also don't cook the beets first- i buy cooked

sliced beets canned or jarred in vinegar but no sugar ... it;s easier. you

have enough work on thanksgiving.

 

 

looks like the pumpkin shells stuff was from a private source- i'll find

it- don't you all worry!

Hey- i just did a simple search on the internet and found it first thing- go

figure!!

 

here's a link and anyone who wants to post it in MC - that would be nice..

 

http://www.recipehound.com/Recipes/3656.html

 

called pumpkin stuffed shells with jalepeno rosemary sauce.

 

My two cents... this has a lot of potential- my fiances and i would have

liked it hotter and the sauce alittle more flavorful...and maybe thinner-

the sauce - too...

but you can't beat this really- try it first and then doctor it up.. i may

try this again soon myself.

infact- this year my in laws are doing thanksgiving ( very italian) so maybe

i'll make this one to bring.

Good luck everyone..

I also have a no sugar added apple pie recipe that ROCKS..., i always make

oatmeal cookies from the recipe on the quaker oats lid ,and choco chip

cookies from the recipe on the back of the tollhouse chip bag- can't get

easier or better than that..

exceprt for my home made ginger snaps...

 

( i'll be busy typing today- won't i??) haha
