Savory Vegetable Cobbler
This was a really yummy all-in-one meal. The sauce was really flavorful, it was full of veggies and was topped with delicious biscuits. A definite keeper and also one to use for colder weather - comfort food for sure!
Savory Vegetable Cobbler (Source: Vegan on the Cheap)- the recipe called for seitan and celery but since my hubby doesn't like celery and I only like seitan if it is seasoned distinctly, I decided to leave it out. This sauce was a bit too mellow to use seitan in my opinion.
Filling
8 oz green beans, trimmed and cut in small pieces
2 T olive oil
1 medium chopped onion
2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
1 large white potato, peeled and chopped (I used 2)
2 T fresh chopped parsley
1 t dried thyme
1/2 t dried sage (I used 1/2 T fresh from my mom's garden)
1/2 t dried marjoram
1/4 t salt
1/4 t black pepper
1 cup thawed frozen corn kernals
1 cup thawed frozen peas
Sauce
3 T vegan margarine
1/4 cup flour
1 1/2 cups vegetable stock (I used faux chicken)
2 T soy sauce
1 cup plain unsweetened soy milk
Topping
2 cups flour
2 t baking powder
1 t salt
2 T vegan margarine
1 cup plain unsweetened soy milk
Preheat oven to 400 degrees and spray a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray. For the filling, team the green beans and set aside. In a large skillet, heat the oil and add the onions, carrots, potatoes and cook until veggies are tender - about 7 min. Stir in the spices and cook for 3-5 min. Stir in the green beans, corn and peas. For the sauce, melt margarine in a medium saucepan. Whisk in the flour until smooth. Slowly stir in the stock, soy sauce, and soy milk. Stir until sauce thickens - about 7 min. Add sauce to filling mixture. To make the topping, combine flour, baking powder and salt. Use a pastry blender to cut in the margarine until coarse crumbs form. Add the soy milk until thick dough forms. Pour veggie mixture into prepared pan. Top with spoonfuls of topping. Bake for about 30 min or until topping is browned.

Egg replacement for 1 egg
1 1/4 cups soured soy milk (put 2 T vinegar into a 2 cup glass measuring cup. Add enough soy milk to equal 1 1/4 cups)
2 T canola oil
1 cup flour (I wouldn't recommend whole wheat or whole wheat pastry - it really takes away from the fluffiness of these pancakes)
1 T sugar
2 t baking powder
1/2 t baking soda
1/2 t salt
Blueberries, optional
Mix dry ingredients. Add wet ingredients and stir just until combined. Heat griddle pour about 1/4 cup batter for each pancake. Sprinkle blueberries on pancakes after ladling onto griddle. Cook just until golden on both sides.

Veggie and Seitan Lo Mein
Veggie Seitan Lo Mein
I really did my own thing for this recipe so I am just going to outline the instructions and include the sauce recipe. I heated oil in a large skillet and added 3 minced cloves of garlic and about 1 cup of half-moon cut onions (I was out of green onions but next time I would use green onions as I like them a lot in Chinese food) and about 1 cup matchstick-cut carrots. After about 5-6 minutes, I added about 1/4 lb of whole green beans. I cooked these veggies until tender. Meanwhile, I cooked a 16oz package of chow mein noodles. Once the veggie mixture was cooked, I poured the sauce on the veggies, heated through and tossed with the noodles. Next time I would double the amount of sauce and have adjusted amounts below to reflect double recipe.

Chinese Broccoli Wontons in Ginger Soy Broth
Chinese Broccoli Wontons in Ginger Soy Broth (Source: Vegan Yum Yum)
(As usual, I modified several things so it's not exactly the recipe in Vegan Yum Yum!)
1 cup chopped broccoli
3/4 cup shredded carrot
1/2 cup chopped scallions
1 T oil
1 t fresh ginger, minced
1 clove fresh minced garlic
1/2 t hot chili sauce (such as Sriracha)
1 t hot Chinese mustard
2 T plus 1 t soy sauce
4 cups water ( I think this might have been more flavorful had I used vegetable broth or faux chicken broth???)
6 slices fresh ginger
1 T mirin (I used a splash of cooking wine as I didn't have mirin)
1 1/2 t sugar
2 t rice vinegar
1/2 t salt
1/2 cup chopped scallions
16 wonton skins
For filling: Heat oil in skillet and add broccoli, ginger, garlic, carrot, onion and cook until veggies are crisp tender. Add chili sauce, mustard, 1 t soy sauce and stir to combine. Remove from heat and set aside.
To make wontons, take one skin and place in diamond shape. Fill with 1-2 t filling. Fold in half to make a triangle and moisten edges with water and pinch sides to seal. Set triangle in front of you with point up and take the 2 side points and bring them together in front to cross. Set aside and prepare remaining wontons. When finished, place wontons in a steamer basket and steam over pot of boiling water until translucent.
Meanwhile, in a pot, combine remaining ingredients (except wontons) and simmer 10-15 min.
Place 3-4 wontons in bowl and ladle broth over wontons. Serve.
