Old Reliables

I love experimenting with new recipes, but at least a few days a week it's nice to have some standbys that you know will come together and everyone will eat. It helps if they're based on pantry staples, too. These two were dinner last night and the night before. Lentil Soup with Barley based on Nava Atlas' recipe in The Vegetarian Family Cookbook , which is, by the way, a great crossover book for vegetarians looking to cook more vegan meals. Another serious favorite around here, especially with Ben, is Chickpea Cutlets from Veganomicon by Isa Chandra Moskowitz . These are good in lunches the next day, too, or so they tell me. Here they're served with a simple whole grain mustard sauce. Tonight the experiments begin again!

Sushi Day

Grocery day is sushi day! I've tried, and failed, to make my own sushi. There are just some things I prefer to leave to the professionals. And isn't it weird how you never feel like cooking when you get home from the grocery store? At least I don't. So, sushi for lunch is my treat for planning and shopping for food for the week. The dipping sauce is tamari, rice vinegar, mirin, and pickled ginger.

Migas!

The joys of scrambled tofu! Usually described as a replacement for scrambled eggs, scram 'fu is fast, easy, versatile, delicious, and filling. What more could you want from your food? With crumbled tofu as your palate, just tweak the vegetables and spices and you can go anywhere in the world. Migas is Spanish for “rags” and refers to leftover tortillas that get crumbled up in the next morning's breakfast. I used tostada shells here. It was like having corn chips for breakfast! This version is based on the recipe in Jannequin Bennet's The Complete Vegan Kitchen , altered according to which peppers were in the garden and salsa filling in for fresh tomatoes.
