From: “Barbara Klopp IAEA Vienna”

Judy, someone just posted a recipe for vegan French toast on another
list which looks adaptable. It apparently originated from the American
Vegetarian Cookbook. I’ve not tried it, but the original poster loved
it.

Very Easy French Toast
======================
8 slices whole grain bread
soy milk (why not use low-fat?)
2-4 Tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp ground cinnamon
pinch of salt

1. Cut bread diagonally into triangles. Arrange on cookie sheet.
2. Combine all other ingredients with hand blender or whisk. Pour over
bread and allow to stand 5 to 30 minutes; bread will absorb liquid.
3. The orginal recipe called for brushing a nonstick skillet with oil
at this point, but I am sure you could do without this. Just up the
heat and watch the bread closely until it browns and gets slightly
crusty. Turn once.

POTATO-VEGETABLE CHOWDER

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 8 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Vegetarian Soups

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
5 c Vegetable broth (water is
-fine, but not as tasty)
1 c Tomato or vegetable juice
1 c Tomatoes — peeled, cut in
-small pieces
1 c Carrots — chopped
1 c Green beans or yellow wax
-beans
1 c Onions — finely chopped
1 c Zucchini or yellow squash
-thinly sliced
1 c Leek — chopped
2 c Potatoes, red — diced
1 Cheesecloth bag of fresh
-herbs of choice (parsley,
-basil, etc.)
2 ts Salt

Bring liquid to boil in a deep soup kettle. Add all
vegetables and seasonings. Turn down heat to simmer
and partially cover the pot. Simmer until vegetables
are tender. Serve hot with crusty whole wheat bread
and a light fruit dessert.

Variation: Almost any vegetable but onions, tomatoes,
and the potatoes can be substituted for another
vegetable. Don’t use the cabbage family because the
flavor is too radically changed. Green peas and baby
lima beans are a great addition, as are corn kernels
(about 1/2 cup).

sauce at once, add the cilantro and process until

cilantro; mince and add it just before serving. Taste
and season with salt if needed.
When serving, garnish the sauce bowls with thin
rings of fresh red chilis for color and heat, if

*** PARTY MIX or CRUNCHY MUNCHIES, REVISITED ****

2 C Wheat Chex
2 C Rice Chex
2 C Corn Chex
2 C no-fat pretzel sticks
1/2 C apple juice
5 t Worcestershire sauce (vegetarian)
1/2 t garlic powder
1.25 t onion powder
1/2 t seasoned salt

1. Combine dry cereals to make 9 cups and add pretzel sticks.

2. Combine apple juice, Worcestershire sauce and seasonings. Brush
1/2 of the liquid on the cereals and toss.

3. Microwave 3 minutes on high. Stir and brush on 1/4 of the liquid.
– Alternately, oven bake 15-20 minutes at 300 degrees.

4. Oven bake at 300 degrees for 30 minutes. At 15 minutes, stir and
apply the remaining liquid. Cook the remianing 15 minutes or
until the mix is the shade you prefer….

5. Remove and let cool. Serve and enjoy.

No idea of calories…. but for some reason it still serves 8… 😉
———————————————————————–
The microwave did not make the mix as crunchy as I like, but it does
do a thorough job of cooking the mix without the problem of the
mix sticking together so badly the first cycle, as happens when you
use the oven.

This was a big hit at my house. No one seemed to mind the fact that
this mix had NO butter in it. Since I am the only one in the family
actively persuing a VLF lifestyle, I consider this a major
accomplishment !!
