Tofu is actually quite good. We eat it a lot and can tell good tofu from not so good tofu. It’s not just a protein to add to something with lots of sauce that will be absorbed by the tofu. This “shake-n-bake” salad is excellent

We haven’t tried this one yet, but getting up the nerve. (You’ll need a good movie in the DVD player to keep you company while you scrape.) Probably will substitute maple syrup for the sugar. Yep, I think it is worth it.

I spend my life adapting recipes to accommodate strict vegetarian eating; so you may have noticed my recipes are a bit interesting. I haven’t converted them back because I like what I make, as it is. Please adapt them to your way of eating as you see fit. This one gets a squirrely name because I can’t legally steal the name of a cheese town in Italy without concern for the EU coming to get me!

This is the kale recipes to beat all. It is in the deli case at Mississippi Market (and Whole Foods, etc.) and I always “impulse” buy it when I am shopping on my way home from work. Now if one has to have a weakness such that one impulse-buys, well, this is a good one to have. Simple, quick and perfect with a few slabs of ginger-baked tofu alongside. Hmm, maybe I just talked myself into dinner again. Funny how that happen each week!

The uncooked, just soaked/sprouted, chickpeas/garbage beans surprised me. But this recipe is fabulous. And highly adaptable with tweaks to the spices and vegetables added. Yes, it is fried in oil, but we’ll let that slide (no pun intended!) As MP put it to me, “This is stupid good.” We whole-heartedly agree.

Simple, adaptable, flavorful. Greens, greens, everywhere! The cheezy sauce can be used in many applications: a little beer or wine added and you have some fondue, a little minced jalapeno and some salsa and you have a quick chili con queso dip. Play with it and see.

Garlic scapes are a fresh version of the old standby— garlic cloves. Enjoy them blended in a high-protein dressing that will give any fresh offering a profound zing! (If you haven’t used silken tofu before, it is quite versatile. You can find it in the Asian food section of all grocery stores; it is in a 4-5" carton, not refrigerated. Use it to make creamy things higher in protein and without the cholesterol.)¬

Creativity is the name of the game with green smoothies. Recipes will get you going but there is nothing better than playing a little. Green smoothies are a quick way of eating your vegetables, especially “on the go”. (I shouldn’t be promoting eating “on the go”, but life does happen sometimes…and we must adapt!)
Lettuce or spinach are probably the best way to start the green smoothie experience, then branch out slowly from there as your taste buds expand.
A really powerful blender is ideal.

Tony Mantuano created this recipe, from Food & Wine website, in homage to the Calçotada in Spain. The Catalan festival celebrates the harvest of calçots, which are slender onions similar to baby leeks. After peeling the charred outer layers, festival-goers dip the softened onions in a vibrant romesco sauce, which Mantuano makes with sweet red bell peppers. “It’s fantastic,” Mantuano recalls. “Everyone has black fingers from the char.”

Anyone out there have a bread machine languishing away in the cupboard? Was that a 90s fad? Well, they are fabulous, let me tell you. We have had fresh bread for the past 8yrs since moving out to the farm; no store purchases. And it is really quite easy to do…_honestly, I don’t have a lot of spare time, let me tell you!_ I don’t use the baking feature of the machine, just the dough making aspect. Then I quick knead and shape and put in a standard loaf pan to rise (30-45min and bake 30min). So you DO have to be around the house to accomplish that last bit. But total actual work time is approx 10min.
