Guest guest Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 I don't know about making soy yogurt in a soymilk maker. I bought a pretty cheap one (the Salton one from amazon.com) and make soy yogurt in that. I use plain, unsweetened soy yogurt as the starter. Basically I follow the directions on the maker. Bring soymilk to near boiling (or rather boiling, but not a rolling boil). I add about 2-3 Tbsps of Potato starch to thicken it to my liking, as it doesn't get as thick as the premade stuff, nor the dairy varieties without it. Still tastes good, but it's always been too soupy for my liking (at least in my experience with my maker). cool it to whatever it says (I think maybe under 180) and then add in the yogurt starter and the put in the maker for abotu 10 hours. I always did it overnight. It was always better than the store bought stuff. As for the OAMC stuff, you can google OAMC / frozen assets and vegetarian plan. As it was vegetarian instead of vegan, it had some stuff with eggs/milk, but they were easily sub'd from what I recall when I looked at that stuff before. You reminded me that I need to get back into it. As I've done it a few times, to start, I'd suggest starting with the 1-2 week plan just till you get used to it. It's not so bad once you get a rhythm down and sort of 'know' what to do/expect/etc. I've also taken some of the other plans and sub'd seitan or beans/tofu/whatever. Thanks for reminding me to look back at this stuff for me as well.

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 One thing we've found freezes very well is bean and rice burritos. We mix cooked pinto beans and olive oil with a puree of green pepper/onion/garlic/spices. Spread that in a tortilla, add the rice, then fold (all ends tucked in) and wrap in cling wrap. These will keep several weeks in the freezer without issues and are great for a quick meal. We also tend to do a lot of frozen veggie mixes. They aren't usually a meal on their own but can be combined with a simple prep item for stir fry, pizza topping, stew, etc. If you're thinking ahead that's great, but it's also useful for those veggies that wouldn't get used up before they'd go bad. Soups are another easy freezer. You can do a crock pot or pan full and divide into different sized containers. Recently we found that mashed potatoes also freeze well, but the gravy not so much.
