TURKEY TIME!!!

well, sorry to Kerrin if you're trying to impress hot vegans with our healthful food blog, but it's freakin turkey season, and i just ate a dank turkey sandwich.

for a good time, do this with your leftovers:

put the leftover turkey gravy in a pot, and dont skimp on the gross/ awesome congealed fat floating in there.
add some ripped up bits of turkey and stir that shit till its all warm and gooey.
slice up a green apple
and make some motherfuckin toast

here's the sammy:

toast!
raspberry jelly
sliced green apple
turkey gravy gooey gooey goodness  
toast!



yea and it's awesome awesome awesome awesome. if i had leftover cranberry sauce, i'd use that instead of the jelly.

not to toot my own horn too much, but isn't my kid CUTE!?!?!?!

curry curry curry

I have been eating a lot of curry. o geez.
Vegan
easy breezy.....and you will love it.
there are a lot of ingredients.

you will need:

3-4 tablespoons of oil.....not olive, you will need one that has a higher flash point. (coconut)
2 cans of coconut milk
2 cloves of garlic
1 med onion
3 green onions cut into tiny pieces
1 head of broc
3 carrots
hand full of mushrooms. your choice.
1 pound of chicken (i like to use boneless skinless thighs) cut in squares, or one block of tempeh
1 zucchini
bunch of cilantro (as much as you can handle) stemmed and rough chop
1 lime
2 tablespoons of curry paste (red)
3-5 tablespoons of shoyu or soy sauce
1 chili (take out the seeds) *unless you like this dish hot hot hot****** minced into tiny tiny pieces.
chunk of ginger 1/2 inch
*coriander
*cumin
*tumeric
*curry powder
*paprika
*cinnamon
brown rice, or brown rice noodles cooked.

how you use it all:

make brown rice or soak brown rice noodles
if you do the noodles you can fry them and make them crispy after they have soaked for an hour or so.

oil in wok or large pot.
get oil hot and add a pinch of each spice that has a * and the chili.
saute the spices for a minute or two....be careful not to burn, if you need you can add a couple of tablespoons of water.
add the garlic, ginger and onion. saute until soft then add chicken and saute until cooked.
then add both cans of coconut milk and the curry paste. adjust the spices.
add the shoyu. and taste again.
let the broth come to a boil then simmer for 20min or longer. add the veggies.  hold off on the green onions and cilantro, and when the veggies are done you can add the green onions and cilantro raw. fold them in. squeeze the lime over it all. add more shoyu if you need.

at this point you can let it sit until you can eat it and serve it up with the rice.

enjoy.
