I ate enough cookies to last me a lonnnnnnng time. It's bad when your brain can feel the sugar surge....
Dinners gonna be swiss chard and veggies!
 
Thanks! I did, and there is a store not too far- I was just surprised there wasn't one right here! Like the Cleveland West Side Market has plenty of Mid-eastern stalls. I haven't been there in a while- have vacation next week and it sounds like a plan!
Have you been to that new strip of cool stores by you?

Not yet... waiting until the initial hype dies down.

Maybe I'll go in early afternoon once school starts... no munchkins. LOL :p

Soaking raw jumbo cashews since yesterday afternoon, just changed the water, letting them soak one more night... drying my sprigs of baby dill in the oven on extremely low heat... making a fresh pot of coffee....

Makin' more cashew cheese sauce! Hopefully, this will be an extra "creamy" batch... instead of water or beer, I finally get to use the rest of the soy milk I bought to make ranch. :)


Yup. :yes: Every time I make this now, I will be using soy milk. Holy crap! :drool: This is very close to the face I made right after licking the spatula....

I had so much stuffed pepper filling left... a six-cup container, packed to the brim... no more room in the freezer... definitely didn't want to let it go to waste, so I decided to make wraps! :) I thawed a full package of Flatout flatbread yesterday.... so now I have six tasty vegan wraps in the freezer for whenever the hell I want! :D (I'll give Jer a couple, of course.) It worked out almost perfectly 'cuz there's only one spoonful of filling left. ;)

I make a killer-winner seitan sausage! I used a typical 1 1/4 cup gluten, 1/4 cup nooch, with loads of spices in dry mix. 1 cup no beef broth, and 1/2 cup Trader Joe soy chorizo and T of olive oil in wet mix. I've been wanting to add that in seitan and it is so so right on!
The soy chorizo is a crumbly flakey taco seasoned mix. It imparts it's bits throughout the seitan so you get bites of it. I'm loving this recipe, and know it's gonna be even better tomorrow!
The Instant Pot really is great for seitan. I wrapped each in foil, placed on steamer thingy over a cup of water, turned Pot to "steam" for 30 minutes and let naturally release pressure
 
Makin' a flatbread pizza with Flatout Light... that goes in the oven alone at 375° for two minutes... then I'll top it with a quick sauce I made from Field Day organic (no-salt, vine-ripened) diced tomatoes, garlic & onion powder, Mrs. Dash, basil, oregano, & nooch... then I'm thinkin' a little Chao Creamy Original... then red bell pepper, onion, baby spinach, fresh tomato, and some Go Veggie shreds... then bake for four or five more minutes.

This'll be a test-run.... with Jer as my "guinea pig" later. ;)

On second thought, I'll save the Chao for me... for Jerry's test pizza I'll use my last slice or two or the super-salty-fakey Go Veggie smoked provolone. :p

I was worried about transporting it because it's so thin & delicate.... It shall be wrapped in foil & placed on/in a shoe box cover. LOL :D

What a cool idea to add the soy chorizo. I might have to try that for something different. Thanks for sharing!
 
Best seitan I've made in a long time! Of course, better the next day!
Chef Skye Michael conroy callls for welll pressed extra firm tofu in many of his seitan recipes-not that I have the book, bt talks about on his facebook. I think that would sub well if you marinated in hot sauce- kinda like Chipoltle tofu - what? sofritas?
I'd like an idea on mixing things in seitan.id like to add bits of dried apple piece with sage. You know how thuings falll out when you tery and mix in?
sophie on arms so no edit...

LOL (at the Sophie part. :D). I like the apple and sage idea as well. Right now, mine have mostly vital wheat gluten, black beans, nutritional yeast, fennel and a bunch of other spices. I will be making a trip to Trader Joe's soon. :D
 
Makin' one o' those flatbread pizzas for myself... with Chao... and slightly fewer toppings... I have 'em already bagged, I'll go with what I've got. ;)

Oooh, what's on your list? :confused:. I feel a need to go but can't figure out exactly for what. It isn't that far, but I don't go often. My list is -
tempeh
extra firm tofu
Tofurky Italian sausage
soy chorizo
raw cashew pieces
tea tree soap
frozen edaname, organic peas, those long green beans, meatless balls, maybe that sprouted red rice curry type meal?
I feel like I'm missing something. I used to have printed lists of each store I go to for the particular things I go there for, but now I don't
 
I was about to roast a very large zucchini (nabbed the last one from Jer 'cuz it's just been sitting there).... wanted to do something different, though, so I decided to make stuffed zucchini boats! :) I'm thawing some couscous, gonna sauté my remaining onion & red pepper, I already have some tomato sauce.... I'm gonna make this for Jer so I won't be shy with the salt. LOL :rolleyes:

First, gotta scoop out the seeds & roast the zucchini quarters a bit....
 
I made lentil-based stew out of a can in a bowl in the microwave, lightly cooked some broccoli on the side, served with two slices of super-coarse bread with PB and a super basic salad of lettuce and bell peppers with a little oil.

It's easy cooking week round here while I'm on my own.
