Was Amazing!!!!!! Peace People! Let me tell you was has me, my taste-buds, and my God all geeked this morning... Sausage seitan!!!!!! Yesterday was an epic cooking day for me. I have collected all the groceries I needed for this week's cooking. And at the end of this coming week, there is a rally. and y'all know I like to make a "Big Mama" meal for Rally Sunday. I bought a lot of gluten at the co-op and had some extra. I thought, "Why not?" Here are the delectable little boogers, the corresponding recipe and the site. That's them after they came out of the water bath. This is them open. INGREDIENTS - 1/2 cup pinto beans, rinsed and drained - 1 cup cold vegetable broth - 1 tablespoon olive oil - 2 tablespoons soy sauce - 2 cloves garlic, grated (with a microplane, or very finely minced) - 1 1/4 cups vital wheat gluten - 1/4 cup nutritional yeast - 1 1/2 teaspoons fennel seed, crushed - 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes - 1 teaspoon sweet paprika - 1 teaspoon d...

Peace y'all. I never post any food pics. let's see how that goes.... You have to click on the image to see it correctly. This is my "Beef" seitan. There is no beef in it and it qualifies as vegan. It is NOT gluten free. It is highly gluteny. The largest ingredient is vital wheat gluten. You can use this the same way you do a roast beef. Actually I have made chicken seitan and seitan sausage. The God loves it dressed up like pepper steak. So much in fact, I have to make this every week. I am kind of tired of it, but that just drives me to new ways to use this. INGREDIENTS: * 1.5 c. vital wheat gluten * 1/4 c. nutritional yeast * 1 . salt * 2 t. paprika * 1/4 t. cinnamon * 1/4 t. cumin * 1-2 t. pepper * 1/8 t. cayenne pepper * 1/8 t. allspice (I skipped this) * 3/4 c. cold water * 4 T. tomato paste * 1 T. ketchup * 2 T. olive oil (I used canola because I was out of olive oil) * 2 T. vegetarian Worcestershire sauce ...

Peace Fam, I'm better. I am never sick sick for long. And If I do get long term, then it will require a hospital stay for me to get better. I probably ate something that didn't agree with me... like a HUGE hunk of German Chocolate cake. I recuperated all day yesterday. Which allowed me to think and build with the God.... I kinda want to go vegan. I can live without milk, cheese not so much and the taste of butter is divine. I know there are substitutes out there for these products, but I don't want to substiute with something that heavily reminds me of the thing I'm kicking to the curb. I don't want to use margarine in place of butter. I don't want soy milk in place of milk. And I don't want rice cheese in place of cheese. I want to be done with everything and thatis it. All of the replacements are HIGHLY processed making them dangerous in their own right. A poitn the God brought up was if we were to become vegan, and our bodies accepted it, we would be limi...

Peace I'm sick y'all. I don't know what going on. My stomach is sour, I have a headache (which I only get when my cycle is due), I'm nauseous and I have sincere heartburn. I look like warmed over death too. I'm not surprised I normally get sick this time of year. As healthy as I try to be, I get a sickness annually. This is not menstrual either. Aunt Flo ain't due for at nearly 2 weeks. Unfortunately, the God is not the best cook. I'm going to have to handle this on my own. He will feed himself though. Good. First things first.... I got some orange juice with some green powder. An influx of iron can't hurt along with some vitamin C. Secondly, Some faux chicken soup with LOTS of onions and garlic. Its a creamy broth based soup with sage, thyme and nutritional yeast. It really tastes like chicken. Add olive oil for savoriness and some egg noodles. Normally I like matzo ball soup from Manishevitz, but....... Anyway. This will work. Though I'm not tomor...
