MoFo 26 Healthy Bavarian

Two more MoFo posts after this. Two more days after today. Maybe we should all just hold hands and sing that song, oh you know the one. No not Kumbaya. Um that song from the 90's musical written by the guy who had a tragic end. He won a Tony award posthumously.
That overture used to get stuck in my head. When I was stuck at miserable day jobs. I was an elf once and a dental assistant too for about two minutes. Forget what they tell you about Santa being all jovial and shit. Working for Fatty Claus was it's own little shop of horrors. The clock creeped along while I engraved cheap tin foil Christmas tree ornaments made in China. Santa's teeth are as bad as George Washington's. I know this because I was a dental assistant for about two minutes.

I 've been writing this post for about four hours already. I keep getting up to floss my teeth and check the time. It's still Monday and I still have a popcorn kernel from 2008 stuck in my back tooth. Did you guess that song yet?

The song is called 525600 minutes. Sorry. I am such a geek. Not really. But it's all I could think of tonight.

For my last Oktoberfest/German fest post I decided to combine two cuisines. A fusion that is not often heard of in the culinary world.
Macrobiotic Bavarian!

 

This was a healthy and flavorful dinner. The tastes melded beautifully.
It consisted of quinoa with tahini dressing, Bubbies sauerkraut, BBQ braised tempeh, (saute for about 7 minutes on each side), and kale flash fried and then roasted with nooch at 425 for ten minutes. Plate with avocado with a sprinkle of Himalayan sea salt.

Now it's 525599 minutesuntil MoFo is over. Hoping all of you back east are safe and sound tonight. Thinking of you.

Heimlich and Gretel and Sauerkraut MoFo Day 1

Here we are again. Mofo 2012 is here, that's right. It's Veganville's third year to participate in this year's biggest international weight lifting competition. Oh sorry, I mixed up my international weight lifting and curling blog with my vegan food blog.

I'm back and less confused. You probably didn't need to see my before and after pics either.
Anyway, MoFo is month of Vegan food, where frenzied bloggers from all over the globe get chubby and tired from all the food they make and eat. Last year our theme was water so we didn't gain much. This year we are excited about our theme(s).
You'll have to watch the video to see what it is, and then please stay around so we can share some food.

Das Sauerkraut Which Would Look Better if Picmonkey was working today. Ach!

Here is Das Shtupid Recipe

1 can sauerkraut drained

1/2 pack vegan cheeze or shredded Daiya

6 frozen hash brown patties broken up or sliced nicely, depends on your mood.

1/2 pack tempeh, cut in bite sized chunks

1/2 C.vegan milk unflavored

ground pepper

7-8 sundried tomatoes, cut in small pieces

cayenne pepper

2 T whole grain mustard

2 T caraway seeds

 

Your favorite brown bread

 

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Spray saute pan and saute tempeh until lightly browned.

Empty drained can of sauerkraut into an ovenproof baking dish.

Add potatoes, sundrieds, and browned tempeh to sauerkraut. Mix well.

Pour vegan milk into a bowl and grate most of the vegan cheeze (or add shredded cheez) into the milk.

Add mustard, cayenne and black pepper to the milk.

Pour the milk and spices over the sauerkraut/potato mixture and mix well.

 

 

Bake for 25-30 minutes

 

Let sit for 5 minutes, or eat soon and burn your tongue.

 

 

Now as promised our MoFo themes:

Thanx for swinging by. I am excited to participate in MoFo. I love nice comments and I love reading other blogs. :)
