Another recipe of my grandma Esther's, easier to make than her ostakaka  and also not vegan, but vegetarian of course. Blogging it here for posterity and so I have access to it when I'm visiting Dad, in case we need to use up some of his eggs :) And here is a similar recipe . Ingredients 1 1/3 cup sugar 5 1/3 T cornstarch 1 1/2 cup water 3 T butter 4 T lemon juice 1 tsp lemon rinds 1/4 tsp salt 3 (or 4) egg yolks, beaten Baked 9-inch pie crust Meringue: 3 (or 4) egg whites 1 T cream tarter (or 2T cornstarch) 6T sugar Instructions Boil the sugar, cornstarch, and water for 1 minute. Add slightly beaten egg yolks. Boil 1 minute and remove from heat. Add butter, salt, lemon juice and lemon rind. Stir and pour filling in a baked  pie crust . Make the meringue: Beat egg whites until frothy. Add cream tarter, and then the sugar, 2 T at a time. Beat until it stands in stiff peaks. Spread the meringue over the pie, sealing edges at the crust. Bake at 400 degr...

Larry brought in some cabbage and kale leaves from the garden, and I thought I'd try a new recipe. This is adapted from a mix of  Spinach & Mushroom Mini Vegan Puff Pastry Quiche  and Oh She Glows  Stuffed Mushroom Phyllo Roll . Ingredients 1 sheet vegan puff pastry (about 8 oz.), thawed if frozen 1 cup shredded Daiya cheese OR tofu mix: 1 lb. extra firm tofu, drained 1 T soy sauce 2 T lemon juice 2 T nutritional yeast black pepper to taste saute: 1 T olive oil 3 cups finely chopped mushrooms 1 onion, diced 2 garlic cloves, minced 4 cups finely chopped greens sundried tomatoes to taste (optional) Instructions If not using Daiya cheese, use the tofu mix: Place tofu, soy sauce, lemon juice, nutritional yeast and pepper into food processor and blend until smooth. Saute mushrooms and onion until softened, 5-10 minutes. Add garlic and greens. Remove from heat and fold in Daiya or tofu mixture. Preheat oven to 350F. Line a large baking sheet w...

Adapted from Chloe's Kitchen , a simple delicious dish. Ingredients 3 large yams, peeled, cut, roasted in oven 1/2  can lite coconut milk 1 T maple syrup 1 t salt 1/2 t cinnamon 1/2 t cloves 1/2 t ginger Instructions Peel the yams, dice, and roast in the oven with a little olive oil. (Or boil or microwave, but roasting is easy, and you can throw in some other veggies to much while you mash!) Put cooled yams in a big bowl. Add spices and syrup and mash. Add coconut milk.  Serve warm. Yum! Chloe's original recipe called for a full can of coconut milk, but I found half a can was enough. Use any leftover coconut milk to make a quick coconut chia pudding  :)
