Truth be told, I ended up making 2 batches. One vegan, one with some organic pork :)I wish there was something vegan that gave the same mouth feel to cooked beans While making this I also discovered sofrito. I ended up making a big batch and freezing some of it
Sofrito
2 medium onions
1 tomato
bunch of coriander
bunch of parsley
Process til chopped fine
Puerto Rican Pink Beans
1 pound of cooked Pink beans
1/2 cup sofrito
1/2 small butternut squash peeled,chunked
4 small yukon gold potatoes chunked I don't peel
1/2 cup tomato sauce OR some tomatoes and water
Put a little oil in a big saute pan and saute sofrito. Add cooked beans and tomatoes or tomato sauce. Add squash and potatoes and cook til potatoes and squash are tender. If you need to you can add a little water.

Coconut milk is one of the few things that I still buy in a can. I buy the full fat Thai version for 99 cents a can at H Mart. I haven't tried it but I bet beets would be good in this soup instead of carrots.
Cold Coconut Carrot Soup
veggie stock about a cup
5 organic carrots cooked
Spices I used the Thai curry in a jar, but garam masala would be good
cook carrots in stock. Puree. Add can of coconut milk.Add spices and salt to taste Chill

This post is a little departure from my usual weekly post because it will include the entire menu. There are 2 dishes that don't have recipes; the Tahina cake from my friend Aliza's http://www.alizagreen.com/cate... Starting with ingredients Book (Aliza is also one of my clients as I have become a WordPress Developer:)The cake is Dani's favorite and it is totally vegan and delicious. Shameless plug for this wonderful book.
I'm also not including my recipe for Italian Bread for two reasons. It's taken months to perfect and it's a little complicated. Also I don't want to encroach on Something the Dog Saids weekly bread posts.I was planning to throw a big 21st party, but both of us are stressed out and so I decided to cook dinner for the 2 of us tonight.
Menu
Italian Bread w/olive oil dip for Dani and the Sagnola Blue Cheese from Trader Joes ( my favorite blue )for me. Dani told me this bread is the closet to bread she ate in Tuscany.
Salad
Lemon Pappardelle with fennel and roasted peppers
Lee's Seitan
Tahini Cake
Wine- 2 bottles because Dani likes Red and I don't.Except for special occasions I never spend more than 10 bucks a bottle. Our State Stores are UNIONIZED and now decent after shitty prices and bad selections for years.Of course our newly elected Republican Governor wants to privitize our State Stores and bust the Unions.The only nice thing I can say about Corbett is he's not a fat f**k like Chris Christie.
Red Chianti Gabbiano I knew nothing about reds and was recommended to me by the nice person at the State Store.These nice people who know something about wines are soon to be replaced by Corbett's know nothing friends.
Pinot Grigio Mezzacorona

Of all the things I tried in my kitchen in 2010, learning to make yogurt was by far the most valuable. I had tried once or twice in previous years, with rather poor results, but then in early 2010 I figured it out. Euclidarms* wrote a long piece about his yogurt technique at La Vida Locavore that really opened my eyes, and soon thereafter Cherie Picked helped me a bit more. By the middle of 2010 I had developed a system that worked for me and settled into a loose routine of home yogurt making. I'm probably saving a good deal of money (perhaps $1 per quart), but what's more important to me is that I'm avoiding a good deal of plastic (like the tubs in the manipulated photo above). Instead of bringing home a new plastic container of yogurt every week, I buy milk in a reusable glass bottle or a compostable paper carton, thus making a big dent in plastic use (and of the piles of plastic in my container cupboard).

cross-posted at Bleeding Heartland
My family rarely has trouble finishing off the Thanksgiving turkey within a couple of days. We like sandwiches so much I've never had to experiment with turkey tetrazzini or other ways to use up the bird.
Some leftovers, like mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables, aren't appealing cold and don't reheat particularly well. I can't stand wasting good food, so after the jump you'll find some soup recipes incorporating Thanksgiving leftovers.
The first two ideas assume you are roasting a turkey this Thursday. The second two would work equally well for vegetarians and omnivores.

I am so used to cooking mix and match vegan, that I forgot the ONLY ft time vegan (my daughter) is in Alexandria Egypt.
Since there was chatter and interest in Veganaise, I decided to veganfy one of my favorite dips.I'll be serving it with cut up veggies and bread.
Vegan Artichoke dip
4 frozen artichokes or canned. I used the ones I had, the frozen ones from Trader Joes. Thaw and add a little evoo (or not)
chopped garlic
1/2 cup Veganaise
put in food processor and blend.
that's it

Dani's my daughter. She's became a vegetarian at age 9 because" God didn't want her to eat anything with a face". Went off the vegetarian band wagon at 10 due to chicken wings at a bbq. Back to being a vegetarian at 12, then vegan at age 14.She's been a vegan ever since (she's almost 21)
She loves to cook We have our Thanksgiving rituals. My sister and I make the Turkey. Dani the stuffing.And at noon we all listen to Alice's Restaurant on the radio in the kitchen.I'm a little teary eyed right now because this because is the first Thanksgiving she won't be here.She's taken the semester off to travel the world.Right now she's in Luxor, then off to India.

Today I brought home about as many cucumbers as I could carry. After a failed attempt to grow pickling cucumbers this summer, the large display of relatively small slicing cukes called out to me today. Then, as I left the market, I stopped off at Ace Hardware for some canning lids and a bag of pickling salt. This was a first for me. I've been canning for well over a year but, to date, I hadn't made any pickles. Here's what happened...

Our fiesta was a success! Last night, I served my family a vegan Mexican meal made entirely from recipes from the book Viva Vegan! by Terry Hope Romero. As I've mentioned before, the recipes in the book are from around Latin America, not just Mexico. However, I was trying to re-create what I enjoyed eating in Jalisco, Mexico. The beautiful thing about this book is that it's written by a Latina and it's actually pretty authentic. Previous posts about this cookbook can be found here and here.
Our fiesta
Below, I describe making posole, refried beans, blue corn tortillas, and sopes, as well as my family's reaction to the food.

Today's the day for our big Mexican fiesta, but I did a little cooking yesterday. My inspiration is the cookbook Viva Vegan! by Terry Hope Romero, which encompasses all Latin food and not just Mexican. You can read Part 1 here (with my first impressions, shopping experience for the ingredients, and my experience making tortillas from scratch).
This diary includes: Finding and buying organic blue corn masa harina for tortillas and two recipes from the book: horchata and roasted tomatillo salsa.

I've barely been back from Mexico for a week and already I'm jonesing for the amazing food I ate there. I decided that now is a perfect time to pick up the Latino vegan cookbook Viva Vegan! by Terry Hope Romero, and get cooking. This will be a multi-part series because there is so much in this book I want to eat, I can't fit it all into one meal. Or, as the case may be, fiesta. Today's diary covers first impressions of the book, grocery shopping, and making homemade tortillas.
My very own made-from-scratch tortillas!
Tortilla soup (my own recipe, since it wasn't in the book)

The Corona mill isn't a grain mill, it's a corn mill. Got that?
Catalog page circa 1929.
I'll admit it took me a long time to figure this out. I've been aware of these mills way back in the early 1970s when I used to subscribe to Mother Earth News magazine and dreamt of a life of subsistence farming to replace the suffocating suburban lifestyle of a twenty year old. Buy whole wheat in bulk and grind your own flour for pennies!
To this day, people buy these things and then complain at how totally useless it is for bread flour.
“I bought this for the sole purpose of making bread flour. I got it, set it up, put some wheat into it, tightened basically as far as it would go, and the berries came out almost exactly as they went in. Plus, there were little iron filings from the burrs mixed in. Great.”
reported an unhappy customer on Amazon's Weston Cereal and Multi-Grain Mill customer review page.
