Made this for breakfast this morning. Easily made ETL by not using the olive oil and salt. It was really good, and will likely be my new go to tofu scramble recipe. I made the recipe as is other than leaving those out, added probably an extra cup of kale and chopped up the onions and red pepper so they were more spread throughout the scramble.

    Green Beans Almondine
    www.DrFuhrman.com

    Serves: 4
    Preparation Time: 10 minutes

    Ingredients:
    1 pound green beans, washed with tips removed
    1 teaspoon almond oil
    1/4 cup almond meal
    1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
    1 tablespoon slivered almonds

    Instructions:
    Steam green beans until crisp tender. Meanwhile, toast slivered almonds for two minutes in a 200 degree oven or on the lightest setting in a toaster oven. When green beans are done toss with almond oil, almond meal, and garlic powder. Sprinkle with toasted almonds.


    Here's How:

    Place 1/2 cup blanched or unblanched almonds in a clean electric coffee bean grinder.
    Put the lid on the coffee bean grinder and pulse several times until a medium-fine textured meal forms. Don't over-grind or you will make almond butter!
    Put ground almond meal in a clean flour sifter. Sift almond meal. Place any large particles of almonds back in coffee bean grinder and pulse again. Sift reremaining almond meal.
    That's it. Use any nut to make fresh, delicious nut meals using this simple technique.

    Tips:

    Do not over-grind the almonds or you will end up with almond butter!

    Terri, thanks for adding all the great Thanksgiving recipes. Here's another one from me. I sort of made this up... inspired by something I read online but then went in my own direction.

    White Bean Pita Pizza

    Servings 4

    4 whole wheat pitas or flatbread
    1 cup tomato sauce
    1 can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
    2 cloves garlic, minced
    1 tsp olive oil
    1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
    1 large red or yellow pepper, roasted then sliced
    ¼ cup sliced olives
    ½ medium red onion, sliced
    2 tablespoons nutritional yeast

    Spritz olive oil in skillet. Add garlic and sauté a minute then add cannellini beans and mash with a potato masher or fork. Add water as needed to prevent sticking and to make a thick paste. Add tomato sauce and Italian seasoning and stir over low heat a few minutes until you have a smooth and thick sauce. Spread on pitas, top with peppers, olives and onion, sprinkle with nutritional yeast, bake at 400 until toasty. Could easily leave out the olive oil if you want it to be more strictly ETL. Roasting the pepper could be optional, I just like the deeper flavor when they are roasted.

    I don’t necessarily think the MFP calculations of nutritional values are 100% accurate because I’m often using user created items, but here is what I came up with per serving: Calories 236, Fat 2, Sodium 719 mg, Carb 46 (10 fiber, 4 sugars), Protein 11.

    It occurred to me that if I added more tomato sauce this would make a really good, high-protein sauce for whole wheat pasta or to pour over steamed veggies.

    Squash Soup
    • Copied from the November Thread.
    :D

    Gif added for posterity.

    1361469896_jack_nicholson_deal_with_it.gif
    Mihani, the squash soup is really easy (and so delicious!!) This quantity makes about 10 servings.

    Fill a big roasting pan FULL of
    - carrots (4+ cups),
    - yellow onions (2 medium), and
    - celery (2 celery hearts)
    Drizzle with a little olive oil (just a bit) and some pepper.

    Then, cut 2 acorn squash in half, remove the seeds, then brush them with a bit of oil and add pepper to those as well.

    Put the squash on a cookie sheet and put that and the roasting pan in the oven at 375ºF for about 70 minutes.

    Then, scoop the squash out of the skin and put all the veggies in a big pot on the stove. Add 6 cups of veggie broth.

    Use a submersible blender to make a smooth soup, then add:
    - 1.5 tbsp cumin,
    - 1 tbsp coriander and
    - a little more pepper (to taste).

    This is one of my favourite soups of all time. I just love it! (And it always tastes better on the 2nd day - which is today!! Mmmmmm...)

    Enjoy!

    Here is a quick and easy slaw. I use a food processor.
    (If you keep the dressing separate it stores well for a couple of days)

    shredded green cabbage
    shredded red cabbage
    spring onion
    ginger root grated
    grated carrots
    goji berries ( recipe called for sultanas)

    For the dressing

    miso paste
    rice wine vinegar ( could use Apple cider vinegar)
    chili flakes ( recipe calls for sweet chilli sauce)
    toasted peanuts ( I used toasted pumpkin seeds)

    taste as you go adjust to suit yourself!

    Made these wonderful lettuce wraps today for lunch to use some leftover lentils. Wow! I was truly shocked how good these were! I mixed the lentils with corn and curry and cumin. Mixed some hot chili garlic sauce with mayo (essentially making siracha mayo) and spread that on the romaine lettuce leaves. Topped with tomato and green onion....Modify to suite your tastes!

    fyi, the lettuce wrap recipe is a modification of one I saw on the blog "Oh She Glows"....you can find the original recipe on her site, but I didn't really follow her recipe just her idea of lentils on lettuce wraps

    I made this for dinner tonight because I had extra roasted squash that wasn't used in the soup the other day... ohsheglows.com/2011/10/24/black-bean-and-butternut-squash-burritos/

    I had some serious doubts about this recipe, but it was really good. I liked it quite a lot.

    ETA: I also added some kale with the peppers and cooked until wilted before adding the other stuff. It was a good addition.

    I love Panera vegetarian black bean soup, and finally thought hey, I bet there's a copycat recipe online. I have made this probably 6 times over the past few months. I love it! Freezes well too.

    Copycat Panera Bread Black Bean Soup

    · 1 medium Onion
    · 2 Cloves of Garlic (I use 3 to 4)
    · 2 Celery Stalks
    · 1/4 Red Bell Pepper
    · 1 Tbsp cooking oil (I use 1 tsp)
    · 1 1/2 Cups veggie broth (may need a little more if it is too thick when done)
    · 2 Cans Black Beans (15 oz)
    · 1/2 tsp Ground Cumin
    · 1/2 tsp Salt
    · Lemon Juice (approx. 1/2 a lemon)


    Chop the onions, celery and bell pepper and mince the garlic. Add the oil to a large pot over a medium high heat and then add the vegetables. Saute until your onions are translucent. Add the broth and raise the heat to high. Add your black beans along with the salt and ground cumin and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a slow rolling boil and let cook for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Using a potato masher, work the beans until you’ve reached the desired consistency, but leave a good number of whole beans. Add the lemon juice and let simmer for about 5 minutes.

    Vegan Hollandaise Sauce (4 servings)

    Not strictly ETL but I cut the oil from the original recipe and think I could even cut it in half again without sacrificing flavor. I think I'd also cut the salt in half. I served up with some steamed asparagus and it was delicious.

    12.3 oz silken firm tofu
    4 tablespoons lemon juice
    2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
    1 tsp salt
    1/4 tsp cayenne
    1/4 tsp turmeric
    2 tablespoons grapeseed oil (or other neutral flavor oil)

    Put the tofu on a plate and heat in the microwave for 30 to 40 seconds just to warm. Throw it in a food processor and process a bit then add the other ingredients except the oil. Process until smooth. With processor still running drizzle in the oil and finish.

    10 Spice Vegetable Soup (Oh She Glows)

    ohsheglows.com/2014/10/02/10-spice-vegetable-soup-freezer-friendly-vegan-gluten-free/

    This was delicious. The cashew cream made it really creamy and rich. I made it as written with a diced sweet potato and chickpeas but I only used a tsp of oil. The recipe says 6 servings, I have had 4 bowls of it since last night and there is over half of it still left so they would be huge servings.

    I made this one last night. Next time I'd use less lime juice (maybe 1.5 Tbsp or 2 Tbsp) and find some smaller yams! I was stuffed! As author on site says, you can bake the yams ahead of time and throw this together during the week. Perfect with a salad on the side.

    http://hellyeahitsvegan.com/southwestern-stuffed-sweet-potatoes/

    Southwestern Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
    serving size not mentioned on site, but we did 1/2 yam per person

    1 avocado
    ½ c cilantro leaves and stems, roughly chopped and packed (or don't chop...it is going in blender!)
    3 Tbsp lime juice (~2 limes) (yikes on the amount for me....1.5 to 2 tbsp next time around)
    1 large garlic clove
    ½ tsp cumin
    ⅓ c cold water
    ¼ tsp salt, plus more to taste
    ground black pepper, to taste
    2 medium sweet potatoes
    1½ tsp cumin
    ¼ to 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
    ½ tsp salt (omit or reduce if your beans or corn are salted)
    1 c cooked black beans (I just threw in a can of low sodium beans)
    1 c cooked corn kernels/frozen corn
    ½ c grape tomatoes, thinly sliced
    optional: chipotle pepper in adobo sauce for heat

    Pierce sweet potatoes all over with a fork and bake at 400 degrees for 30-45 minutes (depending on size), or until soft.
    While potatoes are baking, prepare the guacamole sauce. Blend together avocado, cilantro, lime juice, garlic, cumin, and water in a blender or food processor until smooth. Refrigerate until using.
    When potatoes are done, slice each potato in half lengthwise. (Use oven mitts to keep from burning your hands!)
    Using a spoon, scoop out most of the sweet potato flesh from each half into a small bowl, leaving just enough flesh intact with the skin for the potato half to keep its shape.
    Mash removed sweet potato with spices. Stir in black beans, corn, and tomatoes.
    Scoop mixture back into potato halves and top with avocado sauce.

    Since I had the Tahini Caramelized Onions on hand (http://hellyeahitsvegan.com/tahini-caramelized-onion-sauce/), I threw some of those on top, too.
