Help - Need Vegan Info (recipes for you this time;)

[Guest guest]

Oooops! I'm sorry;) The Horseradish mashed potatoes would be made in the same

fashion that one would add roasted garlic to freshly mashed potatoes:) I like

Yukon Gold potatoes - peel and boil in water until soft - then drain. Add

margarine (I like Smart Balance), and if you prefer, a small amount of

unflavored milk (any type - I love plain almond milk, unsweetend soy or rice is

good, too - cow's milk if you're lacto:) and whip with an electric mixer until

fluffy. I usually buy jarred horseradish, so I would simply add it to taste

along with salt & freshly cracked pepper...go easy at first - horseradish is a

powerful herb! If you're making this for a family gathering, sprinkle chives or

chopped green onion tops over the dish before serving:)

 

If you want to do roasted garlic, I roast the entire bulb, because I'm making

enough to feed an army;) just slice the root end off of the bulb, exposing all

of one end of each clove. Wrap in foil and roast in a 350 degree oven until the

cloves become soft and brown...(probably 30-45 minutes) let it cool completely -

these things hold heat!!! Then squeeze desired number of cloves into your

freshly mashed potatoes, and whip through:)

 

Thanks for the info on eggs & cheeses...I saw almond cheese, and wanted to try

it, but it also contains cow's milk:( **sigh** I do want to try scrambled

tofu, I saw a recipe online a few days ago that looked really good, but I didn't

print it out - so, a surfing I will go!! The foule sounds wonderful too! I

love beans with breakfast - I've often made poached eggs & served beans of some

variety with multigrain toast for my husband and I - he loves it:) Beans for

breakfast isn't that far of a stretch for me:)

Amber, how can you tease us with horseradish mashed potatoes and not

suggest a recipe? <:-[ Off to Google I go.

 

Fake cheeses you can find in most health food stores. Some are better

than others, many are not actually vegan (casein added). Egg sub is

trickier. You can buy a box of a powdered additive for baking, but

for other purposes it's not usually duplicated as such. I will say

I've had great tofu scrambles, however, which you should try, and as

often as not I've explored into just other things. I've had foule

(beans, lemon juice, cilantro) for breakfast, as well as veggies and

hash browns, good yummy stuff. It's a whole world out there.

vegan...problem is - where the heck do you find dairy free cheeses and

'eggs'? I've read that they exist, but every time I read a label, the

cow's milk is still in there. I want to try this for a short period

of time - maybe one month to see how if affects my allergies/asthma...
