Vegetarian Times - Nov/Dec 2004

Vegetarian Times doesn't seem to have as many recipes as Veggie Life. Lots of articles, though. A lot of the articles are on natural/alternative living.

Here are some of the recipes we can use (no dairy or soy):

• Chewy Meringue Cookies (p. 34) - not a big fan of meringue, though.
• Lemon-Ginger Glazed Beets and Carrots with Toasted Walnuts (p. 43) - Lemon, ginger, beets, and carrots are all good! 6-8 hours in the slow cooker.
• White-Bean "Cassoulet" (p. 43) - Looks good. 6-8 hours in the slow cooker.
• Main-Dish Lentil-Vegetable Soup (p. 44) - I'll have to substitute for the soy sauce. 6-8 hours in the slow cooker.
• Hearty Winter Vegetable Stew (p. 45) - Soy sauce in this one, too. 6-8 hours in the slow cooker.
• Sweet Potato Hash (p. 51) - I'll substitute chicken sausage for the soy sausage.
• Apple-Potato-"Sausage" Sauté (p. 52) - I'll use chicken sausage, and no cheese. I don't think I really need a recipe for that, though. Just sauté them together in a skillet.
• Barley with Black Beans (p. 54) - Barley, black beans, roasted bell peppers, balsamic vinaigrette, fresh dill. Sounds good.
• Chutney Bulgur with Curried Chickpeas (p. 56) - Sounds like a good combination.
• Lucie's Chestnut Stuffing (p. 72) - I'll use olive oil (organic extra-virgin olive oil, of course) instead of butter. Chestnut stuffing is yummy!
• Pumpkin-Coconut Bisque (p. 88) - Wow! We could eat this!
• Orange Cranberry Bread (p. 89) - This is in the ad for Florida Crystals sugar. Use organic palm oil for the shortening, please!
• Farmhouse Rolls (p. 94) - Organic palm oil for shortening, and olive oil in place of butter.
• Cornucopia Compote (p. 95) - Served in acorn squash halves.
• Egg and "Caviar" Canapés (p. 100) - Made with black olives instead of caviar!
• Vegetable-Bean Spirals (p. 100) - Might be fun to make for New Year's Eve or something like that.
• Sweet Potato Wedges with Rosemary (p. 101) - I'll need to replace the soy sauce. Balsamic vinegar would be good!
• Sweet and Spicy Pecans (p. 103) - I love pecans!
• Puréed Cranberry Soup (p. 109) - No sour cream, of course. I can leave out the optional almond extract and Katie can have it, too.
• Spicy Cranberry Condiment (p. 110) - It says to use it like ketchup! Hey, why not?
• Cranberry-Vegetable Ragout (p. 110) - Serve with polenta or quinoa.
• Sweet-Tart Cranberry Cabbage (p. 110) - Sounds good I'll use cranberry juice instead of the wine.
• Sibi's Crustless Cranberry-Pecan Pie (p. 111) - Pie is good!
• There is a "special advertising section" (pp. 120-121) with a couple recipes that we could use. I could adapt the Banana Bread Pudding. The Mediterranean Vegetable Sandwiches have no dairy or soy.

That's not too bad of a list, but I think we may cancel this magazine. I think Veggie Life is a better magazine for vegetarian recipes.
