Thanks I will try that ( I have been looking for something to top a savoury casserole for a while )

[EpicLibrarian]

BTW Firestorm, how do you like Vegg?

BTW Firestorm, how do you like Vegg?

At first the whole idea freaked me out a bit but I have found it really good, so far I have used it in scrambled tofu, quiche, Vegg & soldiers and toad in the hole. It actually tastes like egg yolk (which again made me feel very weird until I got used to it) and I have now bought 2 more packs!
It certainly has its uses (would probably be good in omelets etc), but it didn't really make my quiche or toad in the hole any better than normal.


ETA: by the way, I love the new avatar

That quiche looks absolutely killer Firestorm.

[pusskins]

^^^ As above. That quiche looks LUSH!

[Firestorm]

Thanks - you've all made me blush:o

That quiche looks amazing Firestorm!! And I love the look of the squash casserole EpicLibrarian.

Last night I had Indian takeaway - roti bread, tofu pakora, vegetable madras and saffron rice.

A few nights ago I cooked some chana masala and brown rice for dinner.

That looks tasty Robin! How do you make the corn fritters?


I used a nonvegan recipe that called for an egg and milk and just replaced the egg with egg replacer and used unsweetened almond milk. It was very simple: cornmeal, flour, baking powder, pinch of salt, butter (vegan earth balance), and almond milk, just enough to make some rounds for two people. I didnt want to bake a whole cornbread cake or muffins but wanted a cornbread type of deal with the beans. I baked them on a cookie sheet with parchment paper (sprayed with oil first) and when they were just about done I brushed the tops with a little bit of the earth balance butter (melted first). A funny thing about this. I have been meaning to clean that oven and had it on my list to do today. It's been a long long time since I last cleaned my oven. Well yesterday when I was baking the fritters the aluminum foil lining the bottom of the oven caught fire for some reason. The only way to put it out was to pull out the aluminum foil, which took some time. So the fritters were actually cooked with a flame! They turned out perfect. Go figure! Needless to say I spent an hour scrubbing my oven today.

BTW everyones dishes look so fantastic!

Here (http://www.kosherblog.net/2005/03/09/blue_ribbon_vegan_cornbread/) is the recipe I used, but here is how I changed it:

I used only stone ground corn meal, so 2 c cornmeal and no flour, and I used a few squeezes of agave rather than sugar. I am used to unsweetened cornbread, so I didn't want it too sweet. I was also out of soy milk so used almond milk instead, but I think it would be great either way!

I forgot to say thanks for this recipe EpicLibrarian, I used it last week (the original recipe without your adaptations) and it was great (first time I've made corn bread) but I completely agree about the sweetness - I found it very cake like because of the sugar (so much so that I have been filling it with jam and eating as cake). I will be trying the adapted version next as I think it sounds even better.

[EpicLibrarian]

Glad you enjoyed it! The cakey reason is also why I use only corn meal rather than a mixture of corn meal and wheat flour. It keeps the texture denser, which is how I like my cornbread.

Robin, glad you got that fire out! I thought that those fritters had to be fried. I will have to try them out soon. Thanks!

PS - these massive portions aren't mine - my wife seems to be a bottomless pit, and never puts on any weight!

[Firestorm]

Those beetballs look yum!

[peanutbutter]

They were! First time the wife hasn't felt the need put fake cheese on her pasta...win!

[EpicLibrarian]

I am frightened of Beetballs! We got so many beets in our box last winter that anything with beets terrifies me.

Are they too earthy or sweet? They look amazing! Maybe I will have to try something like this next winter instead of sacrificing half my beets to the forest gods. LOL.

[RubyDuby]

my hubby will be so excited to see the vegg quiche! He's been stalking it on fb.

What do you put in the tacos? They look amazing!!

[cedarblue37]

what wonderful foodie pics - i really shouldn't look at this thread on an empty stomach!

[EpicLibrarian]

What do you put in the tacos? They look amazing!!


These tacos are one of my quick go-to meals. They take about 10 minutes to make start to finish.
I simply take some Boca mince and put it in a saucepan with about 1/3 to 1/2 cup of water and put the lid on and let it cook til it is all thawed, then I add taco seasoning (I make my own with various dried spices, but you can use a package too) and canned pinto beans. On the tacos is just salsa, avocado, cilantro, and vegan sour cream. Easiest thing in the world to make!


Here are the spices I put together for the seasoning: chili powder, granulated garlic, onion powder, red pepper flakes, oregano, paprika, cumin, and black pepper. You can add salt if you need to, but I rarely do because the boca has some salt in it already. You can sub real onions/garlic if you have the time!
