Watcha cookin'?

[Game Over]

Cooking up a batch of Verde now. Forgot to mention these -- my wife grew and dried em I forgot the name Ill ask. Anyhow break em up in my hand and throw em in when I add the blended tomatillo/cilantro mix. Adds a nice kick.

Vegan mac and cheese? How does that work? How do you substitute for cheese? And sour cream?

Soy based?

Cashews are amazing. Indispensable in any quality vegan chef's kitchen.

I don't do soy.

My Mac and cheese sauce is comprised of cashews which have been blended into a paste with rice milk, carrots, caramelized white and yellow onions and shallots, garlic, sea salt, and crushed black pepper.

I cheated with the sour cream substitute. Blended cashews, rice milk, and just mayo.

Just Mayo is incredible. Soy free vegan mayo. In a blind taste test I think it would win over mayonnaise.

Tonight will be crispy maitake lettuce and tomato sandwiches with deep fried breaded zucchini slices for the side.

Not in my house. I bought Just Mayo a couple of weeks ago thinking that it was regular mayo (it's on the mayo shelf and it has "Mayo" in the name, fer chrissakes!). I immediately noticed something was weird with it, it's got an "off" taste. Can't stand it, personally.

Going with calzones tonight.

Dough from local pizza joint - yeah I'm cheating but I have kids and work too much to fuck around with dough.

Elk pepperoni, (with added pork fat of course).
Tomato sauce from canned summer tomatoes and garlic.
Roasted garlic
Caramelized onions
Blanched spinach
Havarti
Mozzarella

This sounds like a legitimately tasty sauce, but for fucks sake don't call it "cheese".

Split Pea Soup

not vegan - cooked a buncha hours in the crock pot- peas, onion, carrots, celery, parsley, garlic, local ham hock, chicken stock - remove bones and blend smooth - add cooked turkey sausage or not and serve

I know. I normally call it a cheeze sauce.

Manu different variations of cashews "cheese". Check out miyokos kitchen. So good.

I ate some weird fermented cashew stuff once. It wasn't terrible but I'm not sure I would choose to eat it, it was kind of like feta only sourer.

Today I made shredded zucchini pasta and I liked it.

for some reason that reminds me of the time my dad gave a vegan kid a regular beef hamburger at a bbq. First meat the kid had in his three years he gobbled it right up!

Cruiser, you're welcome to cook dinner at my house any time.

We don't quit meat because it doesn't taste good.

That being said, crispy maitake is incredible.

Oh, and anybody that intentionally gives someone's child any food their parents don't want them eating is an asshole.

Talk about pushing an agenda.

I'm with you. A friend took Owen to McDonald's. We don't eat that shit.

I think it has already been established that my dad is an asshole, but I'm pretty sure the hamburger wasn't intentional. He was grilling and handing out food, kid was milling around, and was given a burger. Kid's mom should have been supervising the kid better rather than expect others to know her dietary preferences...

Try skipping the bay leaf and use some Mexican oregano.

I have - kids didn't care for it. Should probably try again since they're now older.

Made Chili Verde tonight because of this thread. It was good but a little too smoky for my tastes - over roasted the veggies a bit and used one too many chipotle peppers. Rest of the family liked it however so fuck it.

Did find some MX Oregano tho and the consensus was keep it, lose the bay leaves.
