I have been meaning to try a recipe out of my New Moosewood Cookbook for probably close to 8 years now. I may be the only person I know who hordes unused cookbooks in the cupboard while still checking out 2-5 new cookbooks every week at the library.
My desire to cook out of a Moosewood cookbook started when one of my cousins made me the best vegan lasagna I have ever had in my life. My memory is that the recipe came from a Moosewood Cookbook, but after all these years I am starting to think that I may have dreamed up that part of the memory.
Anyway, when I finally decided to explore the recipes that are actually in the cookbook, I found that I had 2 copies in my cupboard! Apparently I had the idea to give this book a try a few times. So tonight we opened it up and made the vegetarian chili.
As always, the first order of business was to let Zoey have a sniff at things. She approved of my tomatoe juice selection.
I boiled 1 cup of the juice and then added 1 cup of bulgur. I took it off the heat and let it sit for 15 minutes. When I opened the lid again I had this and for a moment I considered just eating this for dinner because it looked and smelled so good:
Next, I sauted up some vegetables, there are even onions in there! It seems like my aversion to onions may be fading which is great news.
Okay, so here it is right before simmering. I added some extra vegetable juice at this stage because it looked to dry to "simmer". In the end, it was still more of a grain/bean dish and less of a chili so we ate it in wraps as you can see in the first picture.
On the plus side, this chili was so good! Zoey's dad and I both thought it deserved an "A" so we will be eating this for lunch tomorrow and trying another recipe out of this cookbook soon.

Mmmm that Chili looks good and I LOVE that Juice - Zoey has good taste.

8 years to try a new cook book has to be a world record.
LOL!

That's not the "New" Moosewood cookbook anymore after 8 years! :)
You always make the most delicious and chunky chilis! It could have something to do with the fact that you have the cutest kitchen helper on Earth!
I so want to try your smoothie recipe but I'll have to find something to put in place of the kale as I'm not suppose to eat lots of it.
As for the pilates. I have 2 dvds I recently bought.
10 minutes solutions pilates perfect body. (this is the one I did last night)
and
10 minutes solutions pilates on the ball.
I bought both of them off amazon
that is so funny that you duped yourself on a cookbook! I guess it was trying to tell you to use it :)
I do the same thing. I love to collect cookbooks, then ignore them. all the while fantisizing for years about trying particular recipes.
thanks for the reviews on the lasagna and chili recipes. I'm looking for some new ones.
