Vegan Spring Frittata

 
This "vegan frittata" is a take-off on the Persian egg dish often called "kookoo sabzi" and
baked up for the New Year (March 20th or thereabouts).  The lovely green fresh herbs really celebrate Spring!  I have used some traditional ingredients (the herbs) and some non-traditional ingredients (umeboshi plum vinegar, almond milk, nutritional yeast, and of course, the tofu.)  I think of this as a World Recipe.

Ingredients:

  • 2 C. Organic Fresh Parsley, finely chopped
  • 2 C. Organic Fresh Chives, finely chopped
  • 2 C. Organic Fresh Dill, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp. Tamari
  • 1/4 C. Plum Vinegar
  • 2 pkgs. Extra Firm Organic Tofu
  • 1/2 C. Almond Milk
  • 1/2 C. Nutritional Yeast
  • 2 tsp. mixed Kosher Salt and Black Pepper (Black Salt also can be used) 
  • 1 T. Garlic Powder or 1 Clove Garlic, finely chopped

Method:

  • Preheat oven to 350F/177C   - Cover the bottom of a casserole pan with parchment paper
  • Saute the Herbs in a small amount of filtered water until limp in a large pan
  • Add in the Tamari, Salt and Pepper
  • Blend together in a Food Processor (or use a potato masher by hand): Tofu, Plum Vinegar, Almond Milk, Nutritional Yeast, and Garlic.
  • Pour the Tofu Mixture into the large pan with the Herbs and mix well over low heat just until all ingredients are well combined
  • CAREFULLY pour the entire content of the pan into the casserole and Bake at 350 degrees for abut 35-40 minute

The Lemon-Garlic Mixture Recipe that Chris Wark (Chris Beat Cancer) Recommends

My husband and I are both over 70, and while we have the odd age-expected ache or pain or fallen hair or swollen ankles or whatever, we have avoided many of the BIG Diseases: Heart Disease, Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, Arthritis, Cancer-- but we have had family with these diseases and there is a good chance that we will have something like this hit at some time.  That is the way of the world these days, is it not? So, to be proactive and preventative, we believe that "Food is Our Medicine" and we adhere to a Whole Food/Plant-Based way of eating. We also watch a lot of those health seminars that mesh with our way of thinking that plants/herbs are the answer-- or at least our first rule of order when we feel ill.  We loved the Chris Beat Cancer series because, well, who wouldn't?  Chris is a charming young man with a friendly, compassionate mission to help others learn about how they too can beat cancer without (or only as a sideline) chemo or radiation.  In his Square

Unveiling the Truth: A Critical Review of The Way - 2X2s and Church With No Name

  Recently I was struck by a newspaper article about a woman in her 40s, Lyndell Montgomery, who had been part of the religious sect called 2 X 2 s or "The Way" or even "The Church with No Name".  Montgomery had recently charged a leader/ministering member of the 2x2s with child sexual abuse that happened when she was 14. She lives on the Island that we live on (maybe even in our community). I am interested in the diversity of memoirs by people who were spiritually abused. And I have some scattered recollections of knowing people who were part of this particular sect.  I have a blog page listing more than 25 books that I have read about spiritual abuse .  In the eye-opening little book, shown above, we delve into the dark reality of spiritual abuse within "The Way," an enigmatic organization also known as 2X2s or Church Without A Name. Through research and firsthand accounts, the book exposes the damaging effects of spiritual manipulation within The Way. R
