Nice! This has been a go-to for me for years. I often bring it to family gatherings, and I rarely have leftovers,Jer LOVES pot pies! He gets frozen ones all the time. I wanna try this just for him, maybe see if he'd notice or care that there wasn't chicken in it.
Whatcha Makin'??

I'm making some split pea soup to use up the seitan 'ham' I didn;t care for the textureally, and my son didn't care for the taste
I was going to buy a bag of split peas recently, but I couldn't remember what they tasted like. I bought a can of the Amy's soup to try instead and if I like it I will just copy the recipe from the can.

Prepping a dish for dinner tonight so all I'll need to do is reheat. Got water on for the pasta now....

You have inspired me. I will make chickpea salad, if not tonight, tomorrow morning before I go to work.

It's so simple & tasty & healthy (potentially)! I can't believe I hadn't tried it this whole time! LOLYou have inspired me. I will make chickpea salad, if not tonight, tomorrow morning before I go to work.
Although I do miss my sautéed veggie sammiches, there's a hell of a lot less prep with this stuff... I zip-chop the onion & celery in the Zyliss, empty it, throw the rinsed garbanzos in there, give a few zips, then smash the remaining beans with a fork, making sure it's coarse enough, etc., etc....I know, TMI.... I just LOVE sandwiches & wraps, always have... and I'm excited to have another addition to the "mix"....
Good luck with yours! Let us know how it turns out!
Aldis pie crust is currently vegan, with veg shortening, but it wasn't in the past and I now always check. It's so good! I love to just defrost one, lay it out on a cookie sheet, load with sauteed veggies and fold over, or fill a shell with tofu and vegges for a quicheJer LOVES pot pies! He gets frozen ones all the time. I wanna try this just for him, maybe see if he'd notice or care that there wasn't chicken in it.
FYI- I checked Trader Joes and it had butter!
TJ's can be so stupid about their foods! It's like they're just geared for flexitarians. I love that on the one hand because they promote tofu, soy creamers, and veggies, and eventually bring things back to vegan like the soy choirizo from customer requests. They do keep from being better by adding insignificant animal ingredients to things that should easily be vegan. Why add honey to a cheeseless, roasted veggie pizza except to p's off vegans? Or crushed beetles to cocoa nibs?
OP
OP
Who the hell puts honey on pizza?! 
And beetles? OMG, I'd better check my Good Stuff cacao... they didn't have original, got the stuff with the crunchy nibs in it... I don't care for it... I doubt they put beetles in it, but - 
No Trader Joe's anywhere within two hours of me.

Yeah, TJ's has a really nice cheeseless, roasted veggie pizza, with honey in the ingredients. I dislike honey, but I didn't taste it. That was a long time ago and it still bugs me--
No Trader Joe's anywhere within two hours of me.
The beetles- confectioners glaze. The use the lac beetle to harvest the shellac they make. For cocoa nibs- Trader joes brand I'm pretty sure- they're at the checkout and I let out a pretty loud "WHAT?" when I read that! Not cocoa- cocoa nibs- which are usually vegan

So I should be glad I don't like sweets, especially stuff with "confectioners glaze" (which always sounded pretty iffy to me)...? I think I heard about that, years ago... shellac & beetles & such.... How utterly revolting!
Who's the brainiac who first thought that up?? Blerf.... Yes, and it's thoroughly annoying.Confectioners glaze - it's in/on so many damn tasty things. I used to adore nonpareils, but nearly all have confectioners glaze.
That's what I'd like to know. How did people come up with these ideas?So I should be glad I don't like sweets, especially stuff with "confectioners glaze" (which always sounded pretty iffy to me)...? I think I heard about that, years ago... shellac & beetles & such.... How utterly revolting!
I've been adding 1/4 up oats to my morning smoothies- with ground flax seeds, fruit and soy or almond milk. I don't like the texture of whole rolled oats with just liquid though.
Both Payless, Sears, and Pennys will closing at the mall near me. I hate malls but even more when they sit empty. I really should get those towels while I can...

I am soaking some raw cashews for an hour in order to make cashew cream, in order to make vegan ranch dressing. I think I've finally found the recipe for me... no oil, no egg or mayo substitute either! I really hope this works out....
Vegan Ranch Dressing | Eat Within Your Means
I do not have miso, but it only calls for a measly 1/2 teaspoon, so I highly doubt it'll make that much of a difference. Besides, this will be the first time trying it, so I have no basis for comparison. I'll need to use dried herbs (Kroger had NO fresh dill), but I DO have my green onion sprouts! 
Now it's hurry up & wait. I can say with confidence, this is the first time I've ever soaked my nuts.

I haven't had luck with soaking cashews and blending, hasn't been smooth enough.I like that site

Well, I know with my food processor, my roasted red pepper/walnut dip is a little on the gritty side. Glad I reread the recipe... gonna BOIL the cashews for 15 minutes, then let 'em cool down.... maybe that's the secret?I wanna know how this comes out in the food processor!
I like that site
Hell if I know. I guess we'll see! LOL
OP
OP
The ranch-making will have to be put on hold until tomorrow. The cashews have been boiled, but need to cool down... and I need to return videos & run across town to visit a friend.
To be continued....
