Impatiently still learning the gram

Vegan Port wine ball with almonds, this was last holiday season, already looking forward to fall! Have over 100 recipes, need to re-test some, take pictures of the rest, and figure out how the other day I deleted a picture from instagram, but today it eludes me. Working with an old app, old phone, old ipad, so perhaps another file was updated that removed the delete button. Who knows!

Impatient for Freezer Meal-Making

Meals are being made and I just keep freezing the left overs. Spinach and Artichoke Casserole This was good split between the two of us on a hungry day, but would also make a great side for maybe 8 spoonfuls. Grease a pie plate and add the mixed combination of: 2 handfuls cut spinach 6.5 ounce jar marinated artichokes drained and minced 1 cup rehydrated, slightly seasoned (broth), broken into smaller pieces soy curls 2 cups crushed tortilla chips 2 mushrooms, minced 2 green onion stalks, sliced 1 cup bechamel (oil, flour, nutritional yeast, almond milk, salt, pepper, garlic) Bake about 350f for 45 minutes, or until browned, or bubbly. The Hotdogs I steam in parchment and foil wrappers. These might do good on a grill or a stick over fire but I have not tried it. I fry it in a pan to give it crispy edges all around. I eats like a hot dog, but don't expect that elastic molded-meat pull to it. This is more like if you made food out of play dough. 1 1/2 tbsp toma

Sweet Potato, Carrot, and Red Lentils Baked a sweet potato and carrot, sliced, oiled and salt and peppered for about 40 minutes at 350f. While those were going, cooked red lentils in twice their water, simmered for 20 minutes, drained and rinsed, then cooked with garlic, onion, paprika, butter, red pepper flakes, and broth until reduced and thickened.

Impatient for a Grit

Image
Grits smothered in chickpea and hen of the valley. Hen of the valley is a mushroom I recently tried, if you don't have them, just use mushrooms you can find. Cook some grits to your liking, cover and set aside. Put 1 TBSP oil and 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes in a pan and heat it up, then add about a cup of sliced or diced mushrooms, and about 1 cup cooked garbanzo beans (chick peas). Sprinkle in some garlic, back pepper, onion, smoked paprika, and salt; if it gets too dry, add 1/2 cup bean cooking water, and 1 tsp "butter"). Cook it back down until you get the sauce texture you want. Serve immediately. Dish the veg's on top of the grits. Husband missed shrimp and grits, I thought this was an interesting way to hit that note.

Impatient Ziti Casserole and Jambalaya

Image
Sautee minced onion, grape tomato, and 2 tsp garlic, split this between the casserole and rice dish. Ziti Casserole In a bowl, combine package of soft tofu tube of soyrizo 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper half package par-cooked ziti 1 tsp oregano Stir very well, pour into greased glass pan, cover with foil. Cook about 400 for 25-30 minutes. LET REST before cutting. It needs to set. The Jambalaya was just pre-cooked jasmine rice, onion, tomato, veg sausage, veg burger, paprika, heated through in a large pan with some added veg broth.
