Impatient Floret

The fridge is still in limbo. It was broke since we received it, the company has sent a guy out to repair it several times. It went from not cooling in the refrigerated area, to now freezing just like the freezer. This has been going on since March, lovely. So certain things I used to keep in the fridge, I had to switch out. Today is pizza, individual packets of yeast since I cannot keep a large bottle of yeast atm. In a large bowl place yeast, honey or sweetener on top of yeast 1 cup wheat flour on top of honey 1 cup of water that was heated for 31 seconds in microwave (warm like baby milk) Stirred this up, added 2 more cups wheat four and 1 tsp of salt Stirred well and placed into a microwave or other covered area, over night. In the morning, II kneaded it just to get it mixed and conditioned. Poured a TBSP or so of oil on ball, spun the dough around to get coated by oil. Letting it sit until about an hour before baking. Will then roll it out to preferred size, place...

So we moved into this house about March, about 6 months ago. Bought all new appliances. Microwave was wrong kind, got replaced. Refrigerator has been broke entire time (first the refrigerator part wouldn't go cooler than 65f, now it won't go above 20, after about 11 visits it looks like they may finally replace the whole thing). Also no recipes this week because I managed to sprain or tear Achilles tendon. Been trying to stay in bed off feet, aside for needing restroom and food; but haven't been cooking this week, apologies! So I been trying to keep shelf stable items in pantry, and still eating stuff out of freezer so we will eventually have less foods to move to knew fridge. Received a book for my birthday: the Homemade vegan pantry Veg dogs made with vital wheat gluten. Enough info in this book that I foresee making lunch meat out of marinated seitan. Very excited.

I baked some pieces and fried some pieces. Sliced eggplant into discs after removing skin. Then sprinkled salt on them and let them sit a half hour or so. Finally blotted moisture off before egg dipping and bread coating. Marinade/Egg Dip 2 tbsp soy amino 1/2 tsp pepper 3 tbsp nutritional yeast flakes 1-2 tbsp water Bread Crumbs  (there was extra, and didn't get wet clumps, so saving it for tofu breading) 1/3 panko 2/3 regular bread crumbs 2 tsp paprika 1 tsp marjoram 1/2 tsp powdered onion 1/2 tsp powdered garlic 1/2 tsp salt 1/4 tsp cayenne 1/4 tsp black pepper The pieces minced and baked in oven after marinade went on to toasted bread with sliced and toasted tomatoes, like a bruschetta. The shallow fried discs went onto sandwiches with tomatoes, lettuce, avocado salsa/mayo. The Magical Left-over Stew Today there is a head of purple cabbage begging to be sliced and sauteed , add some cooked pintos , veg shwarma , leftover raw spinach , some m...

To start off Bday weekend, making fixings for Burritos and Nachos Bean Dip/Filler 1 1/2 cups/10 oz/285 gr cooked pinto beans 1/4 cup/12.7 oz/50 gr bean cooking juice 1/2 tsp: garlic onion powder cumin salt amino (salt) 1/4 tsp: black pepper cayenne/hatch 1 tbsp butter or oil/ alternative Smash it up good, stir well, heat before serving. Serve on top nachos or soft tortilla with lettuce, tomatoes, salsa, guacamole salsa, and optional cheese from the mac and cheese recipe

White Bean Burgers 1 1/2 cups cooked white beans 1/2 cup walnuts 1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs * 1 tsp salt 1 tbsp oil 1 tbsp amino soy *The bread crumbs were left over seasoning from a chicken-flavored tofu crumb coating- smoked paprika, parsley, marjoram, onion, pepper, garlic. 1. All ingredients put in a food processor, in order, and combined on low. 2. Made 5 burgers, cooked in a pan with some oil.

Basic Quick Bread 1 3/4 cup flour 1 cup sugar 1/4 tsp salt 1 tbsp baking powder 2 tsp lemon juice (or a vinegar) 1 cup diced zucchini 1 cup walnuts, broken Makes loaf, 6 large muffins, or 3 mini-loaves. Before baking my recent batch, I also dotted the top with walnut pieces. Bake at 375 (30 minutes for loaf, 20-25 minutes for muffins, 10-15 minutes for smaller muffins). Other than this, just been making more breaded, and fried tofu tacos, homemade baked beans; attempted chocolate earthquakes, but they were better with ice cream than alone. Making cinnamon rolls today but the dough is tough, so it may not work- sometimes if food isn't given enough undivided attention, it manages to tell you.

The Pot Pie Make your favorite biscuit recipe, sautee some veggies, add some cooked beans, make a white sauce, place everyone in an oven-safe baking pan, place as many cut out biscuits as there are servings, on top. Bake how your biscuits want to be baked, something like 400F for 25 minutes. My cream sauce was made with oil, flour, seasoning, almond milk. Veggies were onions, peas and carrots, mushrooms, black beans, and tomato. Biscuits were flour, crisco, almond milk, vinegar, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, salt. The Vegan Parm-flavor Crumbles 90 grams salted cashew pieces (about 3 tbsp) 9 grams nutritional yeast (about 1 tbsp) Grind in coffee grinder. They amazingly taste like parm cheese, great in salads, on pasta, on bread sticks, pizza crust... ...adding this to an apple pie crumble top would be reminiscent of the cheddar slice on apple pie known in some areas. Salsa Whatever you have in the house you want to ma...
