4.5.06 Midweek Munchies

A Veg*n Meme What wonderful foods did you bring home from the grocery store?

Midweek Munchies: What DORI is contributing for the week I belong to a monthly food coop, so I typically do not shop weekly. I often buy in cases or bulk and have a very well stocked pantry and freezer. I am usually a do-it-yourselfer in the kitchen and usually make everything myself (soy milk, seitan, home grown and preserved produce), but often try NEW commercially produced items when coop member split a case. My meal plan is a better judge of what were eating than my shopping list - I'm using up the last of my jar of Black Beans and will be cooking up about 4 lbs for the following uses, I'll freeze left overs in 1 1/2 Cup quantities for later use: *Feijoada: Vegan Brazilian Black Beans, brown rice, salad *feijoada leftovers - black beans and sweet potato soup with frozen greens *Black Bean and Sweet Potato Cornucopias (whole wheat tortillas) & salad *Mexican Black Bean Dip (corn tortilla flauta's), chili sauce to dip & salad *Breakfast Hash (black beans and red/ sweet potatoes) Organic tomatoes (industrial size can to be opened) Raw salsa cruda con black olives and artichokes served over multigrain pasta Romaine lettuce: I've been buying this in mega bags of 6 heads Brussel sprouts to steam and roast Homemade mustard to make sweet salad dressing Balsamic vinegar to make salad vinagrette Reduced fat silken tofu (mori-nu) I use this for smoothies Frozen: Blueberries, rhubarb, peaches on hand FROM PANTRY: Guiltless gourmet corn chips, corn tortillas, ww tortillas TO PURCHASE FRIDAY: russet potatoes, strawberries, apples, pears, lemon juice WANT TO TRY: Eggless egg roll wrappers for spring rolls made the "Eat Air" way RECIPE: Roasted Brussels Sprouts 1 lb. brussels sprouts, washed and halved Spray of olive oil to coat 3 cloves garlic, chopped 1-2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar or lemon juice salt and pepper to taste Directions: Toss the brussels sprouts with the remaining ingredients and roast in a 400 degree oven for 10 minutes.
