Curried Coleslaw Three Ways

I wanted to make coleslaw with my final quarter of a cabbage (wow $2 goes a long way! I made cabbage rolls, hot and sour cabbage soup, added some to a mixed salad and finally this…) Not only am I going to give you a money saving recipe, I am going to give you three variations.

Tofu scramble (my first)

I made my first tofu scramble. I wondered how it would taste like eggs by adding seasonings that I did not add to eggs. A few things contributed to its success as a breakfast scramble rather than feeling like regular stir fried tofu.

Decisions….

I have made a decision about this blog. At least that is one area of my life in which I have. I have decided to rename and rebrand it. The Newest You does not reflect the things that I have been posting on this blog.

Goddess Bowl

I could seriously eat this every day.

Apple crisp

I made my first gluten-free and vegan apple crisp. Not bad for “off the top of my head.”

Clean out the fridge burgers

Leftover beans (garbanzo), minestrone soup, Indian spiced sweet potato chickpea, lentil soup, oatmeal. I think. Darn why didn’t I write stuff down.

Clean out the fridge cannelloni

I was inspired by Melo to create something new out of the things in my fridge.

What I’ve learned about tastes

Our tastes change. That’s a fact. I just had a coffee the other day, the way I always have gotten it from the coffee shop, and it was way too sweet. I have obviously been using much less sugar in my coffee at home. (interestingly, one sugar in a small is good. A medium, too sweet).

The same goes for our food choices. I may look at something and think “how can that taste good?” Or “how can that take the place of the refined white sugar (etc) variety to which i am accustomed?”

Peanut butter cookies

I had a craving for peanut butter cookies this morning. I already knew how to make them gluten-free. (Pb+eggs+sugar=cookies), but not vegan. I don’t even have eggs in the house if I wanted to use them (which I don’t). So I went on a search. Well, I didn’t search far. I tried the second one I landed upon, with a few modifications.

The Skinny. Makes me sick.

I am moving. While this is awesome and exciting, it is at the same time a lot of work. I have, literally, to get rid of half my stuff or more to be able to go from a house to an apartment.

In the process of clearing my bookshelf I discovered a book called The Skinny by Patricia Marx and Susan Sistrom. Well, I opened it up and it was immediately apparent that it was something I had bought in the days of my eating disorder.

The good news is my reaction; it tells me just how far I’ve come.
