Menu Plan 4.15.2011
Alright, well, if you have been counting, it has been almost THREE weeks since I last did a menu plan... Well, we have been scraping by, just barely.... I am about out of ideas. That's one of the reasons I have been dragging my feet this week. Here's what I got so far...

I recently made Polenta Pie from the Moosewood cookbook. It was good, but I think it has potential to be very good. It's basically a deep dish pizza with a polenta (cornmeal)crust and lot's of veggies. I used vegan cheese in place of mozzarella. Here's a site that has a copy of the recipe: http://getyouryummyback.com/recipe-index/polenta-pie/ As I said it was good, and even better the next day, but it was a bit bland, and kind of dry. I think I would increase all spices use a bit more olive oil, and either put some tomato sauce on top, or serve it along side. Let me know if you try it.
ReplyDeleteTofu Stir Fry! Take the block of tofu and squish the water out of it (you know what I mean right?) then slice it up and marinate in Soy Vey Veri Veri Teriyaki sauce for like 20 mins. Bake on a sheet at 400 for like 20-30 flipping them half way. Then I cheat and just used frozen stir fry veggies (sometimes you can find a really fun combo with asparagus and stuff!) Cook them up and toss in the tofu with a little more sauce and serve over rice! Yum!
ReplyDeleteSeriously though, the sauce is amazing! Hopefully it doesn't have something in it that you don't eat, cuz it's soooooo good! :)
