See recipe for Barbeque Fried Chik'n
"Southern Style" Macaroni and Cheese
3 cups uncooked elbow macaroni
7 oz of tofu (½ tub), frozen, thawed, and excess water squeezed out
2 cups soy milk
1 tablespoon butter or margarine (we use Earth Balance Vegan Margarine)
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon Spike®
¾ teaspoon pepper
2 Tablespoons Brewer's Yeast (optional but REALLY good!)
24 oz shredded cheese (equal mix of Sharp and Extra Sharp Cheddar)*
13 x 9 inch baking pan
* I use cheeses made with vegetable enzymes only. Horizon Organic and Tillamook has a great selection. You can also substitute soy cheese or Daiya vegan cheese if desired.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cook macaroni according to package directions. Drain excess water. Put macaroni in large bowl and crumble drained tofu into small pieces and mix together with the macaroni. Add soy milk, butter or margarine, cornstarch, salt, Spike®,pepper, and half of the cheese to the macaroni and tofu. Mix together thoroughly. Pour mixture into baking pan and top with remaining cheese. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover and let bake an additional few minutes until hot and bubbly. Remove from oven and let sit about five minutes. Serve warm. Makes 10 servings.
Italian Green Beans
32 oz fresh or frozen Italian Green Beans
2 tablespoons Bragg’s Liquid Aminos®
1 teaspoon Spike®
¼ teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon butter or margarine (I use Earth Balance vegan butter)
2 cloves garlic, chopped
½ cup Water
Grapeseed or Canola Oil
Put oil and butter or margarine in a large skillet and turn heat to high. Sautée the chopped garlic in the oil and butter until the garlic is slightly brown. Add green beans and stir. Add remainder of the ingredients and stir to coat the beans with the oil and spices. If the beans are frozen, continue cooking and stirring occasionally for about 15 minutes (less time if they are fresh). Add more water if necessary and reduce heat to medium. Cook for another 15 minutes or until the beans are tender but not too soft.
You should check the flavor after the beans are about half done. Add more seasonings if desired. Makes 4 servings.
My entire family loves these beans. The flat nature of the Italian Green Beans beans allows the sauce and spices to absorb more fully than regular green beans.
