1/3/2012 1 Comment Seitan BourguignonI have not taken a picture of this either time I made it (maybe tomorrow at lunch, unless I inhale it before I think of taking a picture--again). I do this in the slow cooker.
1 loaf of Seitan (I use one of the prepped loaves from the Chicago Diner recipe) cut into chunks 1 bag of frozen pearl onions 1.5 cups broth/stock (I freeze my seitan cooking liquid and use it here with a tablespoon of "No-Chicken Broth" stirred in) 1 cup of decent red wine 1 container of baby bella mushrooms, cut into quarters pinches of thyme and Italian seasoning, as well as some dried parsley Throw all of that in the slow cooker, pop the lid on and cook it (I tend to throw it in around noon and set mine for six hours. When I'm ready to serve it, I do a bit of cornstarch slurry and thicken it. Serve over polenta or over parsley potatoes.

1/1/2012 1 Comment Happy New Year!Since Crochet Renee and I made our resolution back in September sometime, I reckon we just need to stay the course. We went to a great wine, olive oil, and vinegar wine tasting (hey, that's all vegan) during the holiday, and I suspect we may make that a yearly tradition. Dani and I broke open a bottle of the Almond Champagne around 9 last night (after having a glass of tempranillo after dinner). I can report that so far everything we have tried at home has been as good as the samples at Raimondo winery.
I started working on 2012 freezer stores last week. A batch of seitan was made (dinner last night was a seitan picatta where I used a bit of Raimondo's meyer lemon infused olive oil to swipe the pan before browning the slices of seitan), and yesterday I made a double-batch of mocksage/fauxsage, as well as froze four can-sized bags of cooked navy beans. I got my order from iHerb last week (nutritional yeast, vital wheat gluten, and some other necessaries) so I should be set for a bit. If anyone wants to try out iHerb, remember this: Feel free to share your iHerb unique referral code, JIX581 or your email address [email protected] with anyone who has never ordered from iHerb before. Print your referral code, twitt it, post it on your face book, or simply email it to your friends and relatives. They will save $5 on their first order. They have a great selection, so if you aren't looking for TVP, vital wheat gluten, or nooch, you'll still find something I bet. And, any order over $40 ships free! I'm off to goof off some more before work starts back up Tuesday. We're having Crescent Dragonwagon |
The Two Fat SistersRenee and Angel welcome you to their blog. Hopefully we can change our name some time. In the meantime, watch as we try to get there. Archives
