I have never had a recipe fail on me and even used some on our Bishop and he came back for seconds! Thanks for all the great recipes and cooking ideas. Fasting can be hard in our household because we have a newborn and two toddlers...so only my husband is able to fast right now. We try to eat our meat at lunch time (when he is not home) so that we can all eat the same meatless/vegan meal together at dinner. Seems to be working so far. :)<br /><br />PS. I got my book(s) on Friday. Thank you so much! My husband snatched it up so we are "fighting" over it right now. I think I will hide it in the laundry room tonight so that he can't take it to work with him..he never goes in there..haha.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13148286229293806478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-902102460517670809.post-21855917515401308052012-03-03T10:21:19.439-06:002012-03-03T10:21:19.439-06:00We are Orthodox and so eat vegan during Lent--I ha...We are Orthodox and so eat vegan during Lent--I have some recipes on my urban simplicity blog (http://urbansimplelife.blogspot.com), but also you should look for some Orthodox fasting cookbooks--When You Fast is fairly useful. Until recently I couldn't tolerate much soy (soy oil was my limit) and so the last few years have been interesting for fasting for us. I do limit our overall soy intake, so you can try rice milk, almond milk, hemp milk or coconut milk whereever soy milk is called for. <br /><br />Other useful cookbooks: Rice and Spice by Robin Robertson (vegetable paella and Persian Rice pilaf go over well here), Soup Makes the Meal (has lots of non-vegan recipes, but a few that can be made vegan with a substitute of no-chicken broth--I like Better than Boullion), the Best Casserole Cookbook ever by Beatrice Okangjes (the meat-recipes are so-so, but the vegetarian main dishes are wonderful, especially the chickpea curry). I'm sure I have more, but that's all I can think of off the top of my head--a lot of it is making substitutions to regular recipes.Julianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09134771358325901297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-902102460517670809.post-9394672619367282352012-03-03T09:08:53.563-06:002012-03-03T09:08:53.563-06:00I have a great recipe for oatmeal bread using left...I have a great recipe for oatmeal bread using leftover oatmeat.

It was as heavy as a door stop. I learned after the fact that yeast really needs protein and my usual rice flour/tapioca flour/potato starch blend has almost no protein. I'm going to try it again with millet flour/sorghum flour/chia flour blend.Kimberliehttp://www.carpeveritatem.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-902102460517670809.post-1191487357779812342012-03-02T16:35:40.359-06:002012-03-02T16:35:40.359-06:00My constant companions during the Fasts are my Moo...My constant companions during the Fasts are my Moosewood cookbook and Carb Conscious Vegetarian by Robin Robertson.

It is my fasting go-to source. It is a bit heavy on Moroccan/ Middle Eastern dishes, but that is perfect for me. My kids will eat everything I've ever made from the book, with a few spice adjustments. Here is tonight's dinner (it has a long ingredient list, but it isn't that hard once you stock the spices):<br /><br />Moroccan-Inspired Vegetable and Chickpea Stew, from Fresh from the Vegetarian Slow Cooker, by Robin Robertson<br /><br />1 Tbs olive oil<br /><br />3 shallots, chopped<br /><br />1 large carrot, chopped<br /><br />1 small yellow or red bell pepper, chopped<br /><br />1 garlic clove, minced<br /><br />1 tsp peeled, minced fresh ginger<br /><br />1/2 tsp ground cinnamon<br /><br />1/2 tsp ground cumin<br /><br />1/4 tsp paprika<br /><br />1/4 turmeric<br /><br />8 ounces green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces<br /><br />1 1/2 cups slow cooked, or one 15.5 ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed<br /><br />Once 14.5 ounce can diced tomatoes, drained<br /><br />1 1/2 cups vegetable stock<br /><br />1 Tbs fresh lemon juice<br /><br />salt and freshly ground pepper<br /><br />1/2 cup frozen peas, thawed<br /><br />1/2 cup mied dried fruit (apricots, apple slices, raisins, currants etc)<br /><br />1/4 cup green olives, drained, halved and pitted<br /><br />1 Tbs chopped parsley leaves<br /><br />In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the shallots, carrot, bell pepper, and garlic. Cover and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the ginger, cinnamon, cumin, paprika, and turmeric and cook, stirring for about 30 seconds to bring out the flavors.<br /><br />Transfer the mixture to a 4-6- quart slow cooker. Add the green beans, chickpeas, tomatoes, stock and lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook on Low for 6-8 hours.<br /><br />About 20 minutes before serving add peas and dried fruit.<br /><br />When ready to serve, stir in the olives and sprinkle with the parsley. Taste to adjust the seasonings and serve hot.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07969613906493174933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-902102460517670809.post-196087088387817532012-03-02T10:47:21.548-06:002012-03-02T10:47:21.548-06:00Leftover oatmeal...as in, already cooked?
