11/30/2011 1 Comment My recent cooking adventuresFirst off, from PV (That's what we call Crescent Dragonwagon's book, "The Passionate Vegetarian", around here) we have cornbread stuffed tomatoes with a tomato gravy. This was a stick-to-your-ribs kinda dinner. It was an especially good way to use up the end of the heirloom tomatoes with some leftover cornbread. I will be doing this again, but will probably not do it until the garden provides more tomatoes next year. I can't stand grocery store tomatoes. Tomatoes are NOT supposed to be crunchy!!! For lunch yesterday, I had Tandoori Tofu with eggplant. I ate it with some leftover basmati rice with green lentils. This I will DEFINITELY do again. Just be forewarned, if you don't like spicy, this is probably not for you. Dinner last night was from the new "Vegan Slow Cooker"Cookbook. Angel gifted this to me for my birthday. It's got some awesome sounding recipes. This is Garlic-Tofu Mushroom Lasagna. It was pretty tasty. Mods I made were to double the garlic, but I used roasted garlic instead of raw. I am all about roasting. It just adds so much flavor. I also used some vegan "mozzarella" rice shreds on top, just to make it seem more "cheesy". There was still some thin sliced eggplant left from making lunch, so I threw that in, too. This was worth doing again, but next time, I will make sure I have more "bechamel" sauce to put on top, as the top layer of noodles was a little dry around the edges, so was a little chewy. All in all, I liked this one. Next time I think I will saute' a few onions with the 'shrooms. The "bechamel" sauce. I didn't adhere to the vegan code at our Thanksgiving dinner, but I only ate a little turkey and ham. Combined, they equaled one normal serving. Then afterward, Ben, Shelly, W and I went hiking on one of the trails in the Buffalo National Forest. It was a beautiful day. Now to figure out what I am making next from the "Vegan Slow Cooker". There's a Chili Relleno Casserole that looks promising!
