Tonight I'm having leftovers at work, veggie pot pie. But tomorrow I'm going

to do an experiment and try to make a homemade meat free, msg free version

of Hamburger Helper for my boyfriend who loves junk food.

Tonight is take out night.  Will probably be Subway.  Last night was Swedish

meatballs made with TVP instead of the meat.  Turned out well.  This weekend no

children (at the ex's) so it will be whatever is leftover in the fridge when I

feel like eating.  But will be busy making soy milk (beans are soaking while I

am at work), tofu and yogurt.

I'm making veggie potpie tonight, am using leftover Qorn roast and gravy I

made from sauteed mushrooms; going to add some carrots and onions and make a

crust of milk, flour and butter. I don't roll out crusts, just pour on equal

parts of flour and milk with a few tablespoons of butter.

Tortellini Stew (someone posted it last week)  YUM!

burritos with leftovers from nachos (crumbles, frozen corn, black beans, kidney

beans, onions, tomato past, chili and cumin powders)

Kashi Pizza tonight

Portabello panini with homemade crinkle cut chips (local resturant fav)

 

On Sunday afternoons I go through the files and choose 3-4 meals to make.  My

hubby works across the state 5 days a week, so I try to get all the meals made

on Sunday evening for him to take and so I have little to do when we get home

from school/work.  i highly recommend it to all my friends (veg and non-veg) to

plan your meals out.  It has really limited our use of processed foods.

Have a good day!

Hello Group,

 

So far this week we have had:

 

Monday - Pinto bean sloppy joes with a garden salad.

Tuesday - Creamy Orzo with greens and corn, with a salad and garlic bread

Last night - Pizza with salad, noodles with sauce, and brussel sprouts.

Tonight - Is left over night.

Friday - Sweet potato and black bean chili (I will make it tonight

because it always tastes so much better the next day.)

Saturday - Tofu pot pie

Sunday - Not sure yet.

 

Hugs,

Mindy

Tonight's dinner...

Veggie Soup. No recipe. I just throw every kind of vegetable that I

want, from my freezer into the crockpot, with veggie broth. Later, I add

whole wheat noodles.

Oh, yeah, and I make great whole wheat rolls.

Tonight it will be split pea soup made with onions, carrots and

garlic from the garden, along with cabbage/carrot slaw, also from the

garden. And fresh whole grain sourdough bread, rising as we speak.

 

Anybody else eating out their gardens now?

I'm going to try a veggie pot pie this weekend -- had no time to cook this

week. I had a frozen pot pie that had tofu crumbled in it, and it was

great, so I'm going to mash the tofu. That's my plan!

 

Something I make every couple of weeks in the fall and winter: hot (fake)

chicken salad, my mom's recipe with mushroom soup instead of chicken soup

and Quorn naked cutlets. I'll post the recipe later -- had my omnivore

neighbor over and she loved it!

     Tonight, for my DH, there will be 2 tacos made with Quorn " grounds " and a

mixed batch of seasoned beans.  I had those for him last night (I had to be away

for the evening), but he didn't consume them, saying he'd had a " big lunch "

during his work-day.  He wanted me to " save " the tacos for him for tonight,

instead, so I did.

 

     For myself, (and for DH, if he chooses, in addition to his tacos), I'm in

the process of making what I call a " Stoup " --kinda like a soup, but thicker,

more like a stew.  The ingredients are less chunky, but it's heartier than

" just " a soup.  Today's " stoup " is made with dry baby lima beans, dry whole

green peas, some " bulk-bin " veggie soup mix that has green & yellow split peas,

barley, dehydrated veg. flakes, whole wheat small pastas and a few other things

I don't remember. 

 

     I added a couple tablespoons of dried red lentils and an undeterminate

mixture (randomly selected from whatever I could find stuck away in the kitchen

spice racks!) of herbs, dried chopped onions, garlic powder, some chili pepper

and other herbs and spices...I don't know what all I put in, but I just

sprinkled a little of this and a little of that, and sniffed the dry mixture in

a bowl--what something smells like can be a good clue as to how well it will

blend and taste when cooked.

 

     After I had " quick-soaked " the limas and peas for an hour, I added (I

usually remember to do this) the small amount of baking soda--supposedly to help

make the legumes less " gassy " when eaten., and then brought it back up to a

simmer.  After 30 minutes or so, I dumped in the " small particles "

mixture--lentils, split peas, barley, herbs, etc... and let that simmer a

while.  It now smells SOOOOOO GOOOD!!!! 

 

    I stirred it and strained out a small tablespoon-full of the broth, which is

usually pretty " skanky " before it's all done, especially when beans are cooking,

IMHO...I added just a PINCH of seasoned salt to the bit of broth and

sample-tasted it.  It is GOOD already!  WOW!  I just made this batch of stuff up

outta my head and I can hardly believe how GOOD it tastes--and it's not even

finished yet!!  WOOOOW-WEEE!!!

 

   Along with my " stoup " , there are about 4 or 5 corn muffins left that I made a

couple days ago to go with chili.  They were made to use up a couple of cans of

(I really HATE it and wonder what I was thinking when I got them anyway)--of

canned whole kernel corn--yuck!

Tucked into the muffins with some spicy peppers and chili-flavorings, the corn

isn't so nasty--I must be sensitive or allergic or something, because I just

cannot eat much corn of any kind with out feeling my skin getting itchy!  So, DH

may enjoy the muffins more than me, but they are there to eat with his tacos or

my stoup...and we have apples for fruit, and that's it!

A bowl of creamy spicy-smoky black bean soup and probably a mixed

greens empanada (from the freezer to the toaster oven while the soup

warms up). A little chow chow relish to go with the empanada.

Irene, I do all the time. We grow all our fruit and vegetables, just

had a very bad year for tomatoes so I have been buying some of those

at the store this year. Right now I still have a lot of eggplants and

peppers, I just harvested a small crop of blue corn (for corn bread)

and I have a few beans going, Kentucky wonders and fresh limas. We

also have lettuces and arugula for salads, and just about any herb you

would want. I planted a bunch of cole crops so I am expectantly

watching the ground....

Where is your garden?

LVLV Well tonight donnalee had a tomato an onion with ketchup mayo

sauce on some food for life ezeikiel 4;9 seseme bread.And I samuel

had brown rice with black and pinto beans pan fried with olive oil

with a pinch of vegatable soup stock powder.Spread in a flour fajita

lightly browned on a iron fajita pan with butter.What did you have?

 

Time consuming recipe but tasty

Here is my recipe for lima bean soup.First soak beans over night in a

large pot.Then remove all of the skins one at a time placing the

skinned beans in another pot.After skinning all of the beans

rinse.Then place in cooking pot.Add three cloves of garlic mashed

then chopped fine.Half to quarter of an onion also chopped fine

depending on size.Teaspoon of salt one of pepper.Pinch of

oregano.Cover beans with water at least 2 inches above level of

beans.Some of the water will evaporate.This will make a very thick

soup almost a porage.So after all ingredients have been placed with

the water stir then begin by simmering slowly for three to four hours

stirring at least twice an hour covered.The slower the better you

dont want them to boil real fast just a medium simmer.Love Love and

enjoy yourself.I use this thickened with my rice and beans sometimes.

I am a single guy so I just cook for me and my fur companion Zippy.He

is a vegan dog also.

Bought to much cabbage the other week so we have been having some

kind of cabbage casserole every night.

Making cabbage and potato soup Friday night.

I have a great recipe to share it comes from a member at vegweb.com

This one is great and easy don't let the minimal ingredient's make

you think it is bland.I don't use vegan cheese I just sprinkle

nutritional yeast on top before baking. For non vegan friends this

will give you something a little different to try.

 

 

Spicy Cabbage Rice Casserole

 

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

 

1/2 head cabbage, chopped

1 can Rotel tomatoes (or any diced tomatoes with green chilies)

2 cups cooked rice

1 cup textured soy protein (whatever brand, I use SmartGround)

teaspoon cumin

vegan cheese for topping

 

Directions:

 

Mix the cooked rice with the tomatoes and textured soy protein.

Place in the bottom of casserole dish. Top with cabbage and then

cheese.

 

Bake at 400 for 30 minutes or until cabbage is tender and cheese is

melted.

 

Serves: 4

 

Preparation time: 40 minutes
