Sunny Sunday Cooking

Spent the morning cooking, as I was out of yogurt and low on bread:

  • 1 gallon nonfat plain yogurt
  • Cracked wheat bread 1Cracked wheat bread
    From Laurel’s Kitchen Bread Book
    I used home milled flour from hard red spring wheat and substituted yogurt whey for buttermilk. Very good, but sweeter than my usual breads since the recipe uses 2 tbsp molasses and 2 tbsp honey for 2 loaves. That’s double what my usual breads use.
  • Baked marinated tempeh
    From Candle Cafe Cookbook
  • Carmelized onions
    From Candle Cafe Cookbook
  • Waldorf salad
    From Vegetables Every Day
    I substituted dried tarragon and lowfat tofu mayonnaise. Tarragon is really good in this.

I used the tempeh and carmelized onions in the tempeh Reuben sandwich from Candle Cafe Cookbook (1 slice 100% whole wheat bread, Russian dressing with lowfat tofu mayonnaise, homemade raw sauerkraut,  carmelized onions, baked marinated tempeh). Delicious!

Another Sunday Cooking Marathon

A rainy Sunday, so it was a good day to cook for the week ahead:

  • Prepped baby spinach, romaine, and fresh pineapple
  • Rasedar Rajma (kidney beans, tomatoes, and onion in curry sauce)
    From the Fatfree Vegan Kitchen
    I substituted lowfat sour cream for the soy yogurt, since I had some to use up. Good!
  • Baked tofu
    From Moosewood Restaurant Simple Suppers
  • Waldorf salad
    From Vegetables Every Day
    I substituted dried tarragon and lowfat tofu mayonnaise. I use this book so much that it barely stays on my shelves.
  • Roasted vegetables (carrots, celery, red potatoes, red onion, radishes) tossed with soy sauce and toasted sesame seeds
  • Greek-style green beans
    From Passionate Vegetarian
    Another favorite cookbook. Fun to read and great recipes.
  • Brown jasmine rice/oat milk
  • Hummus
  • Vegetable stock
