I'll keep that in mind and maybe try a little something new when spaghetti squash is in season.

However, the flour is from my CSA, the lemon juice from my friend's neighbor's tree, and the squash puree from my CSA. I'm currently using non-local onion powder but theoretically could dehydrate and powder my own. And the salt is from the Pacific Ocean... :-)Chilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11406176434011890590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8862121314003712764.post-11668679595211225992009-02-27T10:58:00.000-06:002009-02-27T10:58:00.000-06:00You know, I LOVE to cook and the recipes in Unchee...You know, I LOVE to cook and the recipes in Uncheese intimidated me a little too. Not to mention, I have never been sent by faux cheeses, so I have just decided that cheese is a thing of the past for me. I just try not to attempt replicating meat and dairy centered meals as I am usually disappointed with the outcome. We made a stroganoff with tofu sour cream a couple of years back, I seriously thought I was going to be ill. Then I made someones "cheezy sauce" and I really learned what BAD tastes like. These, however, are just my humble opinions.<BR/><BR/>I don't see how you could ever get sick of such simple and yummy meals. I am stopping by the Root Cellar after work to see if they have - wait for it - cabbage and red potatoes. The red potatoes are just something we have to have on hand all the time any way, and all your cabbage gave me a craving. Fried rice and something Mexican with cabbage here we come!<BR/><BR/>And those berries - I want to reach through my screen and grab 'em. Oh yummy.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01760009169211682230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8862121314003712764.post-56858688366618573612009-02-27T10:56:00.000-06:002009-02-27T10:56:00.000-06:00I'm probably more likely to try the spinach since ...I'm probably more likely to try the spinach since I'm on a whole foods-local diet. I'm going to take a wild guess and say the cheez-it sauce isn't local :)<BR/><BR/>And one of these days, I'm going to find local noodles (or wheat to make my own). I'm not a big pasta fan, but it's nice on occasion. Or I can just for spaghetti squash season. Mmmm!hmdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13424022504830645523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8862121314003712764.post-43092052802539841282009-02-26T23:04:00.000-06:002009-02-26T23:04:00.000-06:00Well, to make it easier, you could always mix up t...Well, to make it easier, you could always mix up the dry ingredients in bulk. She actually has a recipe for that: Instant Cheez-it Sauce or something like that.<BR/><BR/>The spinach sauce is one I came up with. I'll try to post it at some point, but the gist of it is pureed cooked spinach with extra stock, salt, pepper, and nutmeg, if I remember right.Chilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11406176434011890590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8862121314003712764.post-18291941908746661142009-02-26T19:56:00.000-06:002009-02-26T19:56:00.000-06:00Chile - Vegan mac-n-cheese sounds REALLY good, but...Chile - Vegan mac-n-cheese sounds REALLY good, but I always get freaked out by all the ingredients in the recipe. I'm a lazy cook. The spinach sauce sounds great too. Do you have a favorite recipe for that?hmdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13424022504830645523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8862121314003712764.post-17874824675349554772009-02-26T17:36:00.000-06:002009-02-26T17:36:00.000-06:00We have mac and cheese here, too.

It's also very good with a velvety spinach sauce drizzled over the top.Chilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11406176434011890590noreply@blogger.com
