Mmmm, sounds really yum, oneness. Do you think it would hurt to sub. rice flour for the all purpose??

[oneness]

it will probably be fine to use rice flour.

this recipe is very very good, so i am sure hubby will be happy. here is a corn bread i have served with the dish.


Ingredients:

1/2 cup whole wheat flour
3/4 cup white flour
3/4 corn meal
4 TBSP sugar
5 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 cup + 2 TBSP apple sauce (i use baby food)
1/2 cup soy milk
1/2 cup water
Directions:

Mix dry ingredients in a bowl. Mix wet ingredients in another bowl. Add wet to dry and stir well.

Bake at 375 in a glass 9" round quiche pan or a 8x11 pyrex, for about 30 minutes, or until top is golden brown. brush with vegan butter. YUM! this recipe is excellent. once i made it and it was not as good; however, every other time it has been. not sure what i did wrong.

Heh! Goes to show how lazy I am! I just mix some veggie "ground round" and some frozen mixed veggies in a baking dish with a boullion cube and a little water, spread some mashed taters over the top (I usually season the potatoes too, with a boullion cube or salt and pepper and garlic) and throw it in the oven and be done with it! (well, until its done cooking anyway, then I eat it!) :D

you can use boca crumbles if you do not have yves available.

Mmmm, oneness....the cornbread sounds nummy. :drool: I tried to make a cornbread that was vegan friendly and sugar free...it was basically a hard, tasteless brick. I think a couple of spoons of sugar won't kill me...I'll give your cornbread a try. I bet it is nummy with the shepherd's pie.

[oneness]

i use raw sugar..

here are more omni friendly recipes.. (figured i would post them, so others can have them as well)

here are a few recipes.

chili:

2 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil
2 packages of boca crummbles
1 medium yellow skinned onion, chopped
1 large bell pepper, red or green, seeded and chopped
1 large jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
4 cloves garlic, crushed and chopped
1 (32- ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 can black beans, i never drain the beans.
1 can chili beans.
1 can dark red kidney beans
1 can of pinto beans
ground cumin
chili powder ( all of these to taste)
hot sauce
salt
1 can refried beans


Over moderate heat, add oil to a deep pot and combine crummbles, onion, peppers, and garlic. Saute till soft. add all undrained beans except refried stirring to combine. stir in tomatoes.

Season chili with cumin, chili powder, hot sauce, and salt. Thicken chili by stirring in refried beans. Simmer over low heat for a little while, being very careful not to scorch bottom of pan. i serve this with tortilla chips and plain fritos. i top this with guacamole and vegan sour cream.

you can use any beans you like and as many types as you want. this is just what i prefer.
