Silly questions

[Guest guest]

I have really been in recipe heaven here in this group! I can not tell you

enough how appreciative I am. I am so excited to try these recipes! Tonight I am

going to make the Tex/Mex Casserole that was post for me! THANK

YOUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!! I am going to do one thing differently though and add

seasoned tater tots to the top of it, shred cheese over that, and bake it in the

oven. My kids love tater tots and I have too many so I figured this will be a

great way to use them up!

 

Now, I have noticed a lot of talk of TVP. I know what it is, thanks to all of

you, but where do I find it?

 

Also, I purchased several boxes of soy powder. What on earth do I do with this?!

LOL! I bought it because I found it in the store and thought for sure I could

make my own soy milk and save money, buttttttttttt it was horrible!

 

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

 

I personally do not have a hit recipe to share with you all yet. I am so new at

this lifestyle.

 

One thing I threw together that my family loves is this:

 

Veggie Pasta spirals

1 package of tomato basil tofurkey (slice fairly thin and brown them in a little

olive oil)

olive oil

parmesan cheese

italian seasoning

garlic powder

salt

pepper

 

I couldn't begin to tell you how much of the olive oil and seasonings because I

don't measure. I just toss it in and go for it. Anyway, maybe this will help you

understand why I don't post recipes yet. lol

 

I did buy some tofu for the first time and made some barbeque " chicken " that

even my kids raved over! YUMMMYYYYYYY!!!

 

Have a wonderful day everyone!

The best price I've found on TVP is from Honeyville Grain, online at

http://store.honeyvillegrain.com/soytvpproducts.aspx

They sell TVP in #10 cans for $8.99 to $11.99, depending on the flavor

variety. (They sell beef, chicken, ham and unflavored kinds. Unflavored

is the least expensive and also the one I prefer since I like to season

it myself.) A #10 can contains 2.5 pounds of dry TVP, making it about

$3.60 per pound, but a pound of dry TVP is many more meals than a pound

of meat. I use about 3/4 of a cup of dry TVP granules to equal a pound

of ground meat.

 

The shipping charge is also very reasonable at $4.59 for any size order

anywhere in continental USA. If you bake, you can bulk up your order

with things like flours, yeast, vital wheat gluten for breads and other

products without paying a penny more in shipping.. I've been very

satisfied by the speed of the delivery, too.

 

I do not own a share in the company and I am not compensated

in anyway by recommending them, but I highly recommend them.

I think people use soy powder in smoothies. I don't know if it's the

same thing as soy flour? If it is, then you can use it in baking, too.
