Vegetables, Salads & Breads

A tip for making coleslaw- use Poppyseed dressing.

Ohhhhh, that sounds great. I know guys, but try that salad. Trust me it is good.

Love the recipes! Keep them coming.

Funny story, today I was at an unfamiliar Tops looking to build a nice salad, so I asked the people in the meat department where the lentils were located. Apparently a question of this nature requires a quorum, as 2/3rd of the employees in the department were needed to deliberate my question. After some raised brows, questionable gestures, and wild finger pointing it was determined that lentils are "too new" of a product and I should submit a request to the store manager.

Sometimes the nutritional value of laughter outweighs any food.

OMG, thanks for that. I mean they must have been really young. But a quorum? Oh brother. What town was that in, so I don't go there.

I'm glad you like the recipes. I know this one I am going to put up belongs in the potato post, so go to that potato post for this one. It is called: Sweet Potates with Caramel Sauce.

Should we have one for desserts too? Last night the grandkids were here:
Meatloaf, mashed taters, corn, squash, rolls and banana split dessert.
My granddaughter cleaned everything up after dinner while I played with my almost 5 month old GGranddaughter. What a prize she is! When her mother started to put her jacket on her, she went sound asleep! I've NEVER seen such a good baby!

Here's a recipe I've been using post-workout for breakfast. I wanted to take some time away from egg whites, turkey bacon, and ham for a while....

Hearty Vegetarian Spaghetti
Weekly Prep:
-Marinade one package of extra firm tofu in a McCormick's seasoning blend for 24 hours (I prefer the chipotle).
-Boil one container of whole grain (NOT whole wheat) angel hair pasta. Refrigerate, do not rinse.
Cooking:
-Chop the tofu into small pieces. You're looking for the consistency of crumbled feta.
-Heat 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil. If extra-virgin is too expensive, you can substitute extra-whore oil (commonly found in Tonawanda, Cheektowaga, Niagara Falls, and North Buffalo).
-Cook the tofu on medium heat in a frying pan until all edges are crisp.
-Add a handful of pasta to the frying pan.
-Continue to cook for 3-5 minutes.

Season with soy sauce, sriracha, garlic powder, black pepper, and crushed red pepper to taste.

The flavor is similar to a spaghetti with meat sauce, but a lot spicier. One container of tofu and a box of pasta will usually last a week. I try to get 20 grams of protein, 30 grams of carbs, and 3-5 grams of monounsaturated fat per serving. Calories are minimal.

That sounds like some of the Thai dishes we cook. We use wide rice noodles and scallions.

BTW, have you shopped at Super Bazaar on Sheridan? You can find all kinds of lentils there - yellow, pink, red and the plain ole brown ones.
Spices are dirt cheap too.

Nice this sounds great. I do have a hard time finding the whole grain angel hair, where do you get that? Probably at Wegman's I bet. This one is a good one to send to family members who love these particular dishes.

On Sheridan, hey cookie where is this Super Bazaar --I'm interested in the lentils....Love Thai dishes. Has anyone gone to the new restaurant on Transit in Lancaster called The Thai House?

We enjoy going to Siagon Bankok on the Boulevard. They have another location on Transit in the Marshall's Plaza. Real good Thai food, actually the best I've had. Try it....

I think they are basically Indian, however, many of the ingredients are used in Asian foods too, such as the lentils and some of the spices.

Check out the Parathas in the freezer near the front. MMMMMMMM!!!!!!!

I'll get some of Hubby's Thai recipes to post on your other thread
