Cleansing drinks/broths

[Guest guest]

Water! ROFL! They say that what goes around comes around...even though you

didn't recommend that someone in here did so now you are reaping her karma.

Okay, so I left something out, how about stone soup...you do know about that

one don't you? Some one else will have to be serious...not my turn yet.

i don't have a particular cleansing broth recipe, but i

do enjoy drinking Detox herbal tea by Yogi Tea.

i also will drink some cranberry juice ~ the real stuff,

not the sugar loaded cocktail drinks with only 10% real

cranberry juice, but straight cranberry juice mixed with

some seltzer. It is tart, but very good for you.

Cleansing fasts of water, organic herbal teas, and miso

are nice to do every once in a while i think.

Are we spring cleaning?

These were wonderful suggestions. I just might try them too. However the

last line " Are we spring cleaning? " had me cracked up and it was a bit too

visual. LOL My detox is an overdose of Vitamin C or magnesium. hey, it

works! lol

Hi Linda.

 

Stone soup sounds familiar. Maybe someone can refresh my memory. I think

they are a band as well.

 

Water is my primary beverage. It always has been. Other than an occasional

tea, orange juice or adult beverage from time to time I stick with water as

my regular beverage of choice. Nothing like it especially during the hot

summers. Oh I do drink Gatorade (or a homemade version of it) from time to

time as well.

 

That being said I've been trying different techniques to try and remind

myself to drink more of it. I doubt I drink the suggested amount of water

everyday.

 

Thanks for the suggestion on stone soup.

 

How's that refreshing, sugarless, non-acidic, high maintenance beverage

coming along. ~

Hi Angela,

 

Excellent! You rock.

 

Now I've heard of miso but I don't think I've ever tried it. I have a

feeling this will become a staple as well. Thank you! ...and the

wonderful Amy as well!

 

Do you two recommend South River or do you have another favorite brand?

 

I have another item that I wanted to get at my Asian store. I didn't want

to go just for one item so this will be worth the trip now. The other item

is a noodle that I accidentally came upon on the net. It is called

" shirataki " . It is suppose to be a healthier version of pasta. It is made

from some sort of Japanese root veg. Some say the texture is odd but I

think I'm going to give it a go. Perhaps put some of the shirataki noodles

in the miso soup. Miso hungry for shirataki noodles.

 

Thanks to you,

And the information that you knew,

I'll buy it,

Try it,

And feel anew.

Hi PT,

 

Thank you, I'm going to add herbal tea to my list! I've heard of Yogi too.

I'll see what they have as the wonderful Asian store should have a plethora

of teas.

 

Yes cranberries are a wonderful source of antioxidants. I cannot stand

cranberry juice however recently I got myself over it because I wanted to

consume it for the benefits of it. It is a bit bitter and tart as you say -

too much for my tastes but I got over it and fairly accustomed to it. I

like your idea of adding a carbonated water to it

 

LMAO @ " spring cleaning " ! Sometimes I just get a kick on something and

want to run with it. I went with the cranberry juice for awhile and now I'm

ready for something new. I'm liking this miso idea. Probably would have

been really great over the winter months. I'll have to watch the soy sauce

as I really like that stuff. Still interested in this stone soup if anyone

has any information.

 

Thanks again, PT.

 

Shawn

Those shirataki noodles became quite well known among the low carb

followers. I have tried them. They aren't bad at all and really low carb

particularly after you subtract the fiber. However, after a bit I thought I

could smell ammonia and that turned me off and it could be just my sniffer

which I have had problems with lately....bleach mainly...anyway, if it

strikes you that way, drain and rinse really well, and I mean really well,

then put some water back in and just bring them to a boil and simmer for a

minute. Lovely with like vegan margarine and bragg's. They are now being

sold at the stores here too since the low carb store failed (Castus). Yes,

the texture is odd and it might take some getting used to. Don't know about

the health benefits though. It might make your rhyming fail though so don't

know if I would try it if I were you.

Yes, I see that they are low in carb and fat.

Great, so now I'm going to think/smell of ammonia/bleach when I see/eat the

shirataki noodles! Thanks!

Let's open a store based on a fad diet! Genius! I envision in their next

venture a Ned Flanders style Lefty store.

 

Even the fast food joints are past that phase and I see them promoting their

breads.

 

Yes,

Yeah, I don't know if they really contain any nutrients, however I've read

that they are way better as far as carbs and fats compared to your standard

variety pasta. I'm not sure I'm going to ladle vegetarian marinara sauce on

these things but the thought of this product has made me curious. So I

gotta try 'er. Plus I haven't made any Asian entrees in awhile so this will

be a good change of pace.

You are so entirely welcome, Shawn. I just wanted to be a true friend to

you. LOL Maybe your sniffer will go bad too...from the ammonia of course.

<grinning> I am always willing and waiting to bring good news to the lost.

 

Bragg's is good. A little lighter than soy, but be careful when first using

it as it is still mighty salty. I not worried however about the noodles

nutritional value since I can't forget the ammonia smell. <evil grin> And

opening a store with you might drive us all to drink and not tea either. Oh,

I have put marinara sauce on them and that is good. Asian? It is? Hmmmmm.

 

I have no comments to say out loud about your rap. <ho> I have a really good

chiropractor when you bust your butt on the break dancing. Amy and PT will

bring you stone soup. Ha! No one else is going to tell you about stone soup

and I know someone else knows. Guess you are going to have to beg for it.

Maybe I will send it to PT to be included in the files.

 

I shall think upon more good things quick and easy, meaning bad for you. Oh,

we have a Muffin Mill here that makes vegan chocolate chip cookies, muffins,

and scones...sorry...bet you don't get them! I know they ship in Oregon up

to Portland. I bought 6 today, a buck each, which I can freeze. Gosh, you

just live in the wrong place. This is vegan heaven.

Well Linda, I hope you are happy with your Karma transfer!

 

I searched the place for awhile (asked as well) and could not find any (that

I liked). They have a whole aisle dedicated to dry

pasta/rice-sticks/vermicelli and the like. No dice. I checked the freezer

section and no dice. I accidentally found a bag of shirataki next to the

miso in the refrigerated section. They had two brands. Unfortunately I did

not like how it was stored. First off it was in small bags. Secondly, the

pasta was floating in a ton of solution (gelatinous almost). I hope this

isn't the only way shirataki noodles are distributed. Anyway, maybe Whole

Foods will have it. By the time I go there, perhaps I'll be rid of this

unnecessary Karma that I was sent. )~

No telling how goofy we'd be if we were all to get together (or open a

store). We're Feral Vegetarians after all. Let the cool times roll.

I won't beg for the information - I'll just threaten everyone that unless I

get the stone soup recipe, I'll have to post another rap!

If ya had mentioned snacks instead of sweets, I'd have been jealous. But ya

didn't. Haha!

 

Btw, I won't be able to incorporate my vegan day because no one sent in

their favorite vegan recipes. I was kind of excited about giving them a

go. Oh well, no vegan day for me - I'll stick to the ova/lacto thing. That

is, unless, you've got a recipe or two to share? Nothing that smells of

ammonia please. ~

 

Thanks for the info. on the shirataki and Braggs, Linda. :

[Guest guest]

Thanks again, Angela. I've got a lot of miso currently. I have dried soup

packets which look like you just need to add water and the spices are

already included. I also have a refrigerated container of the stuff. There

were two types of the refrigerated variety. Everything on the labels were

the same except for one word (I assume that one word was the type of soybean

or the way it was fermented). One miso was lighter than the other in

color. I thought the darker one looked yummier (for whatever reason)

however I went with the pale variety.

 

Question to you all. What is the difference in the different colored miso?

Secondly, what do you do with the fresh miso? Do you just add a tablespoon

or two to some water and add whatever spices and or items that you like?

 

Thanks again to everyone on all of the advice. It is, as always, much

appreciated.

 

Shawn

Lighter miso is milder, and less salty. The colors varies based on

what else in it (aside from the soy). Use it anything for flavoring,

or make soup as you mention above. Just add it last and don't let it

boil, or you get flavor only and no beneficial microorganisms (you

kill 'em by boiling, don't want to do that).

 

My favorite way is to just boil some water. Let it stop bubbling, and

pour into a bowl that has a couple of teaspoons of miso in it. Add

tiny diced tofu, thin sliced carrots, maybe a scallion or two (small &

thin pieces so they become tender-ish in the hot water). Enjoy.

[Guest guest]

Yes, the shiritake noodles are in the small bag in the solution of whatever

it is. And it is in the refrigerated section near the tofu/miso usually for

some reason. I have only seen one brand. And that is the only way I have

seen it packaged. I think it is the solution that stinks. LOL You are most

welcome for the karma transfer. Glad that you are so appreciative of it.

We are having a horrendous fight here in Eugene about Whole Foods coming in.

People don't mind it coming although it might be hard on our local stores,

but it is that they want a put up a huge car garage attached to them and at

taxpayer expense. I think we are supposed to hear today. There were three

issues basically...the nastiness of a car garage, taxpayer expense for

private enterprise, and then of course the issue of local businesses. We are

really lucky here we have some terrific local stores to buy from and cheaper

(and cleaner) than Safeway and Albertson's. I have always understood Whole

Foods to be a great place for people " like us. " But, I will continue to go

to the local places to support them, but will buy from Whole foods if they

have something I want to try. Unless I hear more bad things.

 

Oh, we are feral all right, but do you run with the wolves? My legacy will

be having my name in one of your rap songs? OMGoddess! I shall warn the

children.

 

Recipes? You need vegan recipes? How about steamed kale, asparagus, and a

multitude of other veggies with just vegan margarine and salt and pepper on

it? Oven roast them too. Drizzle with olive oil. Garlic. Oven baked French

cut yams/sweet potatoes. Rice. Rice with anything on it. Salads, Follow Your

Heart cheese if you must have cheese. Pizza with marinara sauce and diced

vegetables. Seeds, nuts. What I have enjoyed about being vegan is finding I

am cooking freshly and basically and discovering the natural flavors of

food. I even had my first mango yesterday that I loved. Fresh. Fruit.

Beans....lentils in broth, Anasazi beans are fabulous...little red and white

beans from the Southwest...they are buttery. Cook like you would another

bean meaning soak them. Put them into a broth and cook for one hour or until

done. I love soups so they are cooked in broth like a soup, garlic, salt,

pepper, precooked onions if you like. I love the texture of them. I am not a

fan of kidney beans except in salads. But my gosh Shawn, you don't need a

recipe, just know how on how long to cook things. kale, asparagus only need

a few minutes to steam. I will find the recipe for stone soup and send it.

Your life will be 100 % better with it. For one day you can save a layer

chicken and a dairy cow.

I think the darker miso is saltier. Which if I remember correctly is what

you like. The lighter miso is less salty and milder. Wasn't it the miso that

we discussed and someone found we could keep it refrigerated for ever? A

year? That is handy.

this was wonderful advice...didn't realize that I shouldn't be putting it

into the beginning of my soup. darn, I might get healthier too and here I

thought I was a raving healthy person. live and learn. I think I will try

the soup below and think it also ought to be included in the files since it

is basic and simple and nutritious.

I *love* anasazi beans too! Amazing texture and flavor. And

actually, with 1 cup dry beans, 3 cups water in a crockpot all day - I

haven't found the need to soak. Higher elevations might though.

 

Shawn, you have to try this stew! You will love it, you chilihead.

Just skip the chipotle cream garnish (or make it with pureed soft

silken tofu or soy-sour cream), and it will be vegan; the main part

already is. I'm a chili-wuss and use 1 small chipotle-in-adobo

instead of the ones she calls for (also, I don't have those)... so try

it with hers and try it with chipotles. It's awesome! One note - be

sure not to overcook the squash - it's amazing when the tenderness of

the squash is just right.

 

Santa Fe Stew (from Mollie Katzen's Vegetable Heaven)

 

2 tbsp olive oil

3 c chopped onion

2 tsp salt

2 tsp cumin seeds {{I use ground & it's fine.}}

1/2 tsp cinnamon

4 to 5 tbsp garlic, minced

2 medium-sized Anaheim chilies, minced

2 medium-sized Poblano chilies, minced

2 tbsp chile powder

2 c water

1 medium-size (2 #)butternut squash, peeled, seeded & chopped (~5 cups)

4 to 5 tbsp lime juice, (possibly more, to taste) {{I use lots!}}

1 1/2 to 3 c cooked pinto beans {{I love Anasazi beans in this stew}}

 

Optional toppings

sour cream or Chipotle Cream (recipe follows), lightly toasted

pepitas, minced fresh cilantro or parsley

 

Heat the oil in a large deep skillet or Dutch oven. Add the onion, 1

tsp of salt, cumin, and cinnamon. Cook over very low heat until the

onion is soft (about 10 minutes), stirring frequently.

 

Stir in the garlic, chiles, and chile powder. Cover, and cook for

about 5 minutes over medium-low heat. Add the water, cover, and cook

another 15 minutes.

 

Stir in the squash, the remaining teaspoon of salt, and the lime

juice. Cover, and cook over low heat for 15 minutes longer, or until

the squash is perfectly tender, but not mushy. {{Time depends how

small you chop!}}

 

Gently stir in the beans, cover, and cook for only about 5 more

minutes. {{Since I usually cook beans just for this, they're already

hot and I add them in with the squash.}} Taste to see if it needs more

lime juice.

 

Serve hot, topped with a little sour cream or Chipotle Cream, a

generous sprinkling of lightly toasted pepitas, and a little bit of

minced cilantro or parsley, if desired.

 

Yield: 4 to 6 servings

 

**********************

Chipotle Cream

 

Whisk together 1 c sour cream or yogurt (or a combination) with 1/2 to

1 tsp finely minced chipotle chiles. Serve on any egg dish, beans,

rice, cornmeal dishes, corn cakes, fried green tomatoes...
