The Vegan Experience, Day 5: Say No To Faux

When she was in junior high my daughter was vegetarian and during that time we discovered Amy's fake meatloaf frozen dinner. Even though no one at our house is currently a vegetarian we still keep these around for emergency meals, they are high in fiber, filling, low in calories and they taste good. The rest of the fake meat products we tried were pretty disgusting.

Staff Picks: Foods We Want to Eat More of in 2012

I am with you on eating and cooking tofu. Here in eastern WA that pretty much means fixing it at home ( tofu in restaurants here could be substituted for rubber bands). I made larb with extra firm tofu and I was amazed at how good it was and easy.

Turkey Tortilla Soup

I made this toniht and it got a two thumbs up from my teenager. My grocery stores don't have any fresh poblanos right now and the pasilla's look the same, maybe slightly lighter in color. What is the difference between pasillas and poblanos?

Taste Test: We Find the Best Bread for Stuffing

Whole grain bread ends. I took a look at your recipe and it probably affected your breadd choice. I have never understood putting eggs in stuffing, yuck and not realy enough aromatics for the amount of bread. Its supposed to be stuffing, not bread pudding. I always used a mix of bread crumbs and cornbread crumbs (no sugar) and ground smoked sausage. It took many years to come up with a stuffing recipe that I like and its one of the few recipes I have written down, since I only make it once a year. So I am thinking stuffing is an individual kind of thing.

Cranberry Upside-Down Cake

I must say - I have made Laurie Colwin's recipe for Nantucket Cranberry Pie (cranberry upside down cake) for almost 20 years, you can get a copy reprinted at this blog site:
http://www.aldenteblog.com/2009/12/nantucket-cranberry-pie-from-laurie-colwin.html
or even better get a copy of her book - More Home Cooking a Writer returns to the Kitchen. This recipe takes almost no time, 1 bowl and one pan. I actully add a little baking soda to mine.

Cook's Illustrated: Yea or Nay?

Sweets are too sweet, savories are too bland, and any of their own recipes that they "improved" just got fussier with no discernable benefit. That being said, the chocolate pie recipe that made a chocolate cookie crumb crust out of whole oreos and the whole concept of brining a turkey are worth the subscription price. I do find that the recipes I actually use tend to come from older issues. I have have never watched the show or used the online service I get the compendium every year for Christmas and it makes a great read during the holidays.
