Leftovers: Breakfast Gravy
Do you like leftovers? Do you like saving money? I sure do, and that's why I always save all of my leftovers. Some of my best dishes are derived from leftovers. My favorite thing by far to use for this is my breakfast gravy, which I gave you the recipe for a few days ago. I almost always have gravy leftovers, so I almost always have tasty gravy leftover derivatives.

Drinking Water
Are you drinking enough water? According to the Mayo Clinic's website, men should consume 3 liters of water per day, and women should consume 2.2 liters of water per day. Sure, that sounds like a lot of water, but were we to back off on the coffee and soft drinks, maybe it wouldn't sound so unreasonable.

Working with TVPHave you ever wanted to work with a ground meat-like substitute that didn't cost so much money? Let me introduce you to TVP! This magical stable is not only cheap, but it's versatility and ease of use are unmatched in do-it-yourself meat substitutes. It's great in sauces, chili, sloppy joes, and my personal favorite: tacos. Before we get too much deeper into TVP tacos, let's talk more about the magical ingredient itself.

Thanks to Lightlife's Gimme Lean sausage substitute, at least you can have biscuits and gravy back. Fresh Fried PastaSo this is a quick treat that my wife and I really have grown to love. It is born out of my love for all things stir-fried, and all things pasta. This goes great with some suntea and a good book. Don't forget to use organic ingredients when possible.

VegaccidentsHave you ever been a vegan in a non-vegan grocery store? Chances are, you've had a vegaccident. What's a vegaccident? How do you have one? Did I just make that word up? Why yes, I did just pull that word from my nether-regions. A vegaccident is when a vegan or vegetarian accidentally buys or eats something that is not vegan or vegetarian friendly. Please note, this is different than a vegolation (yes, I just made that word up too), which is when a vegan or vegetarian knowingly and willingly consumes a product containing meat- or animal-based ingredients.

Vegetable broth is good in not just soups, but also stuffing, potatoes, stews, gravies, to cook beans in, and for cooking other grains when you want something a bit more savory than water. Thick Crust PizzaI've been mastering something that has taunted me for a long time: thick-crust pizza. Now, you're probably saying "but manchicken, pizza usually has cheese on it, and vegan cheese substitutes all taste like ass!" Well, I couldn't agree more... vegan cheese substitutes do tend to taste like ass, and that's why I just don't use them. I make cheese-less pizza. Now, without all that extra fat and Calories you can do a lot more with toppings, but you can also feel guilt-free about thick-crust pizza. You probably could put cheese on this if you want, but I'm happy with just store-bought spaghetti sauce and onions. Last Updated (Sunday, 27 December 2009 14:21) |
