Default Getting prepared for baby recipes and food....

STARTING OVER AFTER A CHEST FREEZER INCIDENT THAT TOOK IT OUT OF COMMISSION. SO HERE'S the SCOOP!

I've got an empty chest freezer and need to start stocking it with stuff for late pregnancy and post-partum. So, I'm making lists and starting the process. I'll keep track of my progress here and take pics of course as well as post the recipes.

Here's what's on my list so far:

veggie burgers -
"meat" loaves -
Mac&Cheese
calzones - breakfast
calzones - pizza
runzas
enchiladas
pizza buns
lasagne -
soups
tator tots
waffles -
6 ABC nut loaf muffins

I'll check these off as I make them and put amounts so I can start to gauge how much more I need to do.

Sound fun? Comment as needed.

I've made and posted the veggie burgers before and made them tonight. Two batches with only three of the finished ones for any current eating (a trip tomorrow begs for them). Here's the recipe and a pic or two of the product, sans bun and other things.

1-2 cups cooked brown rice
8 oz mushrooms (or 1 1/2 portabellas)
1 1/4 cup old fashioned oats
handful of baby carrots
1/3 cup walnuts or almonds
1/2 onion
1 TB garlic
soy sauce or Liquid aminos to taste
handful of spinach

EVERYTHING goes into the food processor except for 1 cup of the rice and 1/4 cup of the oats. Process until it's kinda a paste with chunks (please ignore the connotations). Add small amounts of water if needed and scrape the sides a few times.

Add the oats and rice and mix (not process) thoroughly and let sit for 10 minutes or more so the oats can help thicken...

I cook this on a med flame sprayed skillet, using a large cookie scoop to measure. Using your hands, pat down the stuff until it's a patty. You might have to just wet your hands slightly to keep it from sticking.

I need pics. I wish I could get together with another Vegan mom and make a freezer stash.

WAFFLES!!! I Love waffles!

This waffle recipe has been floating around the Seventh Day Adventist community for years and it's my favorite alternative waffle recipe, low in fat and lotsa goodness. It's for use with a belgian waffle maker. It's a heavier waffle, but SO good.



GARBANZO-OAT WAFFLES

1 cup soaked – uncooked garbanzo beans (see notes)
2 1/4 cups water
1 1/2 cups rolled oats, uncooked
2 dates
2 tablespoons sunflower seeds (I used sesame as that's all I had)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt

Soak dried garbanzo beans over night. (I soak 4 cups dried garbanzos which yields about 8 cups soaked. Extra soaked garbanzos can be put in freezer for the next time you make the recipe. Take out of freezer and rinse with hot water to separate.)

Place all ingredients in blender. Blend until smooth.

Pour into prepared waffle iron. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes.

I've seen that recipe before for the waffles. It looks good and it seems so healthy.

Trust me when I say that you won't taste the mushrooms at all.

Default Re: Getting prepared for baby recipes and food....

how about potato flautas or regular flautas, those freeze well. then when you bake them to reheat you can put a slice of veggie american cheese on or drizzle a little velveeta. and top them with guacamole and homemade ranchero sauce.
The ranchero sauce you can make in a big batch also and freeze in portions.
Then come breakfast you can have vegetarian juevos rancheros. You just use beans and/or potato in place of the eggs if you think eggs might bother the baby.
Both are super easy and fast since the ingredients can be frozen then assembled. Like the beans and even the potatos.

I've never had flautas before. I am vegan so I'd avoid the meat/eggs/cheese, but there are substitutes. I'll have to look it up and see. That sounds good!

Jen D.
I make the above recipes meatless for me and with meat for dh. I thought I would mention both ways for better visualization.
I cant believe you've never had flautas!
Just get some corn tortillas (i make my own with maseca and water), mash up some boiled potatos and salt. then take the tortillas and fry them for a bit in oil (i use olive or grapeseed oil) just till they are pliable. Then put some potato along one end of the tortilla and roll it up. Then put it back in the oil till crispy and browned.
I like the veggie american cheese on mine. Then I top with salsa, avacado, and finely shredded cabbage(or lettuce)

and the juevos rancheros is just as easy.
Fry 2 tortillas in a little oil till lightly crisp. You can put some veggie cheese on the tortilla or just omit. Put potatos and/or beans on the tortilla. Then spoon ranchero sauce over the entire thing.

Ranchero sauce:
Jalapenos (sliced in long strips)
tomato (sliced in long strips)
onion (sliced in long strips)
garlic salt (or fresh garlic)
salt (i use sea salt)
olive oil for sauteing
Sautee onion and jalapeno in oil till just softened and browned, then add tomato and enough liquid to just cover. season to taste and boil till the tomato is soft. This tastes great on everything!

Oh! and theres also bean gorditas or bean tamales!
Super easy and quick, freeze well......

Thats just mexican. I love doing stir frys too! molasses and vegetable boullion make a good soy/fish sauce substitute.

And italian. morning star chicken patties are awesome for vegetarian chicken parmesan!!!!

I don't usually. You can microwave them if you'd like, but usually we make burgerswith them frozen and then go on a trip so the burger keeps everything cool and defrosts by the time we're ready to eat it.
