Orange Glazed Tofu with Sesame Rice

Posted on December 21st, 2008, by Erin

A Cooking Light recipe.  The husband wanted to try out some new vegetarian meals, so this was on the list as something I’ve wanted to try for awhile but hadn’t gotten around to.  I thought the tofu could use some extra jazzing up, but it’s tofu so… I’d probably add some black bean paste or [...]

Moosewood’s Mushroom Pie

Posted on October 24th, 2008, by Erin

This has long been a favorite at my house, back from the days when I was a vegetarian.  I bring it out when it starts to get cold, or I’m too cheap/poor to buy any meat.  Don’t be tempted to use a store bought crust – this one is nothing like pie crust and bakes [...]

Corn Chowder

Posted on September 11th, 2008, by Erin

I’m trying to find new vegetarian recipes that I enjoy that don’t involve meat substitutes.  Those were a staple of mine when I lived as a vegetarian for three years or so… I just used Boca crumbles and Quorn chicken.  This soup, adapted from Simply Recipes, makes use of the Eastern shore’s abundance of corn [...]

Posted on August 4th, 2008, by Erin

So tonight I made Tofu and Red Peppers and I was thinking that, instead of having the normal teryaki noodles or whatever that we normally have, I’d have some steamed bok choy with some sauce.  And then I got to thinking, as healthy as that would be, I’d probably be hungry again in about 10 [...]

Quinoa Tabbouleh and Cucumber Soup

Posted on July 8th, 2008, by Erin

According to the package that it came in, quinoa is “The Supergrain of the Future!”  So I guess I better start learning what to do with it.  First things first:  Do not go into your local hippie supermarket and ask for “kwin-oh-ah.”  They will laugh at you.  It is “keen-wah.”  Oh.  I had to take [...]

Pesto Pizza

Posted on March 7th, 2008, by Erin

Nom nom nom. That’s what this pizza is. It is strongly flavored, creamy, and potentially the most fattening and horrible thing that anyone could ever eat. But it is SO GOOD. I was racking my brain trying to figure out what I ate for two years when I didn’t eat meat, [...]

Stuffed Shells

Posted on February 19th, 2008, by Erin

I would love to tell you that this dish went over with great fanfare and celebration, but it did not because the husband does not like ricotta or spinach. But I do, and if this is your bag (baby) you’ll like it too. I was eating the filling out of the bowl and [...]
