What Did You Cook or Bake today?

[Emma JC]

I know it tasted AMAZING just by reading the ingredients. But with no wheat flour, it wouldn't have had any gluten, and the texture might have been a bit crumbly. If texture was the problem, maybe some vegan egg replacer would have been an improvement?

Hmm... actually I can't remember if plain oats have no gluten. I know they don't have as much as whet anyway...

it actually was the opposite of crumbly, it was very doughy so no problem with it sticking together (especially as I added a bit of ground flax) - it was so doughy that the extra toasting (1/4 inch slices) made it just right

I had plenty of time to do some batch cooking as I was wide awake at 1.30 am. I made a huge pot of mole style black bean & sweet potato chilli in the IP. I had to make the beans from scratch as we don't get tinned black beans over here.

Mix Vegetable Rice

 

[Tom L.]

I put some dried lentils and brown rice in my slow cooker with the proper amount of water. Everything came out surprisingly tasty! (Note to self: the rice was a tad chewy. Put the rice in first and let it cook for maybe 15-30 minutes before adding lentils! I had been sure that, if anything, it would have been the lentils which were undercooked!)

Seitan ham lunch meat style. I had to use flower because I ran out of vwg and it has a weird texture.
I made a pea ad ham salad out of some of it. Yum.

Did you wash the flour to make vwg? I did that a few times and I loved the whole process...something very satisfying about it. But I'm usually too lazy to do it on a regular basis so I just buy the vwg.

I made an amazing curry...I'm so excited. I don't know why I don't do it more often. I used what I had available...potatoes, white and sweet, onions, carrots and broccoli.

No, because I did not realize I was so low till I was mixing it up.

I've wanted to make this for a very long time! It's so very fussy, but I've had rice papers a long time and had time on my hands today!

Crispy vegan chicken drumsticks on veggies - Dailyvegan

I've veganized chicken drumsticks! Very real, with a spicy and cripsy skin and even with a 'bone'. On oven-roasted wedges and veggies.

www.dailyvegan.recipes

I didn't bother with any kind of 'bone', just wrapped them like burritos. Even after rinsing and squeezing out the brine the jackfruit still had that briny taste, Btb chik'n and a teaspoon of sugar calmed it done, and some poultry seasoning.
I also used tapioca starch rather than chickpea flout, glad I did! I may make these again, or a variation, but would def want to double the vwg!
I'm not a jackfruit fan, but do like the texture. It really has no nutrition other than fiber!

Oh yeah, I stuck in sliver of Daiya cheddar after they were done- liked that a lot!

Anyone else just jackfruit/rice paper wraps in this way?
Made a lot-forget to count, but lots left over. I reheated one in the toaster oven and I really like it!
I can see tweaking this many ways. Like a white sauce with jalepanos, shredded cheese, buffalo wings, tikka masala... Very impressed with how the rice paper crisped up even after reheating.

yesterday I made used a huge basil plant that I bought for $8 and made 2 batches/6 meals of pesto - kept it simple and oil free - 3 cups of basil with lemon juice, cashews/walnuts/roasted pumpkin seeds/sunflower seeds, nutritional yeast, fresh garlic cloves, salt/pepper, water - in the food processor and then put into ice cube trays, froze, then later transferred them all to a large ziploc bag - there are at least 20 cubes and I used a lot for last night's dinner

I did buy a second plant and will use some of it for cooking for a bit and then will do the same again in a week or so.

These are so good…amazing, actually.
Of course, I had to tweak it just a bit…absolutely no jalapeños, no thyme, no oregano.
I also made them very thin because I don’t like when it’s pasty inside.
I also added maybe a quarter cup of tofu that I had blended with just enough water for it to blend well. That helped hold it together. But they still fell apart when I cooked them. It doesn’t matter…they are so good. Will definitely be making these again.

 

[KLS52]

I mixed Vegenaise, Mayo and sriracha for dipping. Can't wait to have one on a bun with onions and pickles! I absolutely love the crunch of the quinoa...I added more quinoa then lentils

 

[KLS52]

They look sad but they really are so tasty.

 

[KLS52]

Why does mayo always capitalize the M? Lol

 

[KLS52]

I also have a pumpkin banana bread in the oven…

I don't think they look bad at all- they just have uneven/crumbly edges. I'd eat them anyway, including the crumbles.

The crumbles are the best part!

I think they do look sad, and I hate quinoa, but I have a bag and convinced they're tasty!
I do love your plate!
