When I read your last post, I feared that your cookie title was another tease wherein I would find no cookies. I was happy to be wrong. They look delicious! But adult? OK, OK, I get it. They're interesting cookies that require a mature palette, cookies suitable for snobs. But I was expecting truly naughty, NC-17 cookies. I might have to pick up the slack on that when we get to making our Christmas cookies. Stay tuned tiny blog public.
I wanted to show you what I made for dinner a few nights ago. It's a standby we use that I think you would love and could easily be adapted for a vegetarian entree (read: tofu). It also involves a few reliable healthy substitutions.
 |
| If you just grate long strips of carrot and broccoli stalk and steam it (don't overdo it!), it works just like pasta and is tastier too! |
 |
| Stew beef fried up with lots of cracked black pepper works for us, but I suggest tofu for you, or a vegetable stir fry. |
To these I added a miso cream sauce, but since I like my arteries enough to avoid using cream in everyday meals, I make a fake cream sauce. For this I use Greek yogurt. This may be one of my favorite food substitutions. I use it all the time. It works as sour cream on tacos or in soup, or as cream in sauce-making. Just be careful not to add it all at once to a hot pan, especially if it's low fat, or the sauce will break immediately. I have learned this painful lesson too often.
 |
| Just fry up some onion and add about half a cup of unsweetened coconut milk, a few tablespoons of miso, some pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg. Remove from heat and slowly add about a half cup of Greek yogurt. |
 |
| Voila! It's delicious with the extra broccoli and homemade buckwheat bread. You can use whatever flavors you like though. The coconut milk and yogurt make a generic cream sauce. |
I hope we get some comments for our contest too. I'm excited to make something new!
Love,
Turkey
