Another go-to lunch choice… a bulked up version of this cucumber salad with lots of protein from tofu and beans. Also very easy to throw together in a rushed morning (but, seriously, would it kill me to plan ahead?). ~ 1/2 can beans (I like cannellini), rinsed and drained I like a savory midmorning snack. Not necessarily out of hunger, I just want a little handful of something along with my tea. Usually some peanuts or cashews will do, but this is a nice low-fat alternative. The package reads one 1/4 cup serving has “70% less fat and 40% more protein than peanuts.” Not [...] Flipping through my Jan/Feb Vegetarian Times, I stopped on user submitted Kung Pao Sliders. I’ve made this so many times now, the magazine stays open to this page. The intent here was to serve the baked tofu squares as “sliders” with the cole slaw on a small bun, but I’ve been putting it in salads [...] Inspiration hit while making zucchini hash. I stirred in some hummus, added some cheese and formed it into little cakes and re-grilled them. Great with some salsa. Yum! Ingredients: Directions: Kind of like a creamy pesto dip. I’ve made this a few times, a bit different each time but always yummy! Great with fresh veggies for dipping – cucumbers, sliced red/orange peppers, carrots, or blue corn tortilla chips. Blend the following until smoth: The leaves of one bunch of basil – rinsed and dried Delicious, even if not necessarily photogenic. Eating this right now with sliced cucumber. Aaaahhh…. Blend the following until you reach a hummus-like consistency. Serve with sliced vegetables – cucumbers, red peppers, etc. 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed or 1 1/2 cup cooked black beans This is my first experiment with baking tofu. It’s a nice change in texture from raw or stir frying, a bit chewy and the seasoning give it some kick. I used Penzy’s Medium Hot Chili Powder, which I love love love, and got the chipotle powder from Rainbow Grocery which has great bulk spices. Ingredients: Fake meat….can be hit or miss. I struggle with vegan “turkey” slices, but with some vegan “cream cheese” and dijon mustard, this can be quite a nice little treat. And it’s cute in that 50′s appetizer kind of way. Ingredients: Directions: I’ve been curious about roasting radishes, and noticing a little traffic coming to LRR via radish recipe searches, thought some experimentation might be in order. Since I had luck broiling chickpeas (and having just soaked/cooked some the day before), I thought it would be interesting to throw some radishes on the cookie sheet as well. [...] These little guys are flavorful and hearty. Easy to prepare, and cute to boot. There are many, many recipes that vary on this theme (see here, and this is hilarious from Cheap Healthy Good) and vary widely in both time and oven temperature. I experimented with cooking them at different lengths of time and temp [...] |
