Barbecued Seitan Ribz (Just for Toni!)

Hi Guys.. here's a recipe I tried for Vegan BBQ Ribs from FatFreeVegan.com!!! I'm not a vegan but I do not eat pork or beef... so this was the next thing! Pretty interesting.. and tasty! Also, try MorningStar Hickory BBQ Riblets!

Thanks to Julie Hasson for featuring this recipe on Everyday Dish. Be sure to check out her video!

Barbecued Seitan Ribz

Like Veggeroni, this seitan is baked dry rather than boiled. The results are a little spongier than Veggeroni, less dense, but I think the texture is perfect for absorbing the flavor of the barbecue sauce. You'll be amazed at how easy this recipe comes together using your favorite bottled sauce.

1 cup vital wheat gluten
2 teaspoons smoked Spanish paprika
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
2 teaspoons onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
3/4 cup water
2 tablespoons tahini or other nut butter
1 teaspoon Liquid Smoke
1 tablespoon soy sauce
about 1 cup of your favorite barbecue sauce

Preheat the oven to 350 and lightly spray an 8x8 baking dish with canola oil. Mix the first 5 ingredients together in a large bowl. Mix the water with the nut butter, Liquid Smoke, and soy sauce and add it to the dry ingredients. Stir to mix well and then knead lightly in the bowl for a couple of minutes.

Put the dough into the baking dish and flatten it so that it evenly fills the pan. Take a sharp knife and cut it into 8 strips; then turn the pan and cut those strips in half to form 16 pieces:

Put it in the oven and bake for 25 minutes. While it's cooking prepare your grill.

Remove it from the oven and carefully re-cut each strip, going over each cut to make sure that the ribz will pull apart easily later. Generously brush the top with barbecue sauce. Take it to the grill and invert the whole baking dish onto the grill (or use a large spatula to lift the seitan out, placing it sauce-side down on the grill). Brush the top of the seitan with more sauce:

Watch it closely to make sure that it doesn't burn. When it's sufficiently brown on one side, turn over and cook the other side, adding more sauce, if necessary. When done, remove to a platter and cut or pull apart the individual ribs to serve.

YUMMY!! Zip Lock Omelets!~ Majestique Momma's Quick Recipes for the Momma's on the GO!

ZIP LOCK Omelets! Quick & No MESS!!!

This a recipe I found and I LOVE IT! It allows for big families or groups to all get their omelets piping hot at the SAME TIME!!! No Frying!!! No extra fat!

1) Start a BIGGGG pot (Dutch Oven Size) with boiling water!!! Water must be rolling before you can use it. DO NOT ADD ANYTHING to your water.

2) Prepare and set out in buffet style all of your favorite ingrediants that you want to put in your omelet (spinach, turkey bacon, garlic, onions, peppers, cheese...etc.)

3) Give each person their own Gallon size zip lock freezer bag and write their names with a sharpie on it.

4) Crack 3 eggs in each bag... (if using only egg whites... use 4), shake until egg is well "scrambled".

5) Add all of the ingrediants from your "buffet" to your bag and shake again for another 30 seconds.

6) Make sure your bags are sealed correctly and add up to 7 bags at a time to the boiling rolling... very hot water. Let cook for 13 -15 minutes.

7) Carefully remove omelet bag from water and place on towel. Roll omelet over so it releases easily onto plate...

ENJOY!!!

DC Fashion Industry and Young Professionals Inaugural Ball

DC Fashion Industry Welcomes the Stylish Michelle and Barack Obama to DC During Its Washington DC Fashion Industry and Young Professionals Inaugural Ball By: PR Newswire

Designers from the local Washington, DC fashion industry will roll out the red carpet to welcome the trendsetting Obamas to their city in the Washington DC Fashion Industry and Young Professionals Inaugural ball on January 20, 2009. The conglomerate of designers, photographers and design houses hosting the event include Xzuberance Clothing, BluBlink Photography, BiriBelle Clothing, Gediyon Kifle Photography, Kelly Catherine Jewelry, LC Beads and ZiZi Boutique. Beginning at 9:30pm, the event will take place at the historic President James Monroe Mansion in Washington, DC, minutes from the White House and will feature a silent auction of products from hosts' lines, a live performance by 2009 Grammy nominated singer Wayna, cocktails, dinner, a champagne bar, a cigar bar, a celebrity DJ and dancing.

Members of the Miami, New York and LA fashion industries, including designers, models, celebrities and international fashion houses are being invited to join in the celebration at the DC Fashion Industry and Young Professionals Inaugural Ball. The Obamas have made politics fashionable again, particularly the statuesque Michelle who has been compared to fashion icons Princess Diana and Jacqueline Kennedy. Michelle Obama, in particular, has also been praised for favoring and promoting American designers, and selecting to appear in clothing accessible to the average American woman.

The event is being sponsored, in part by Nuvo, Simon Pearce, Diageo, Johnnie Walker, Baileys, Tanqueray, Smirnoff, Guinness and Ciroc, whose promotion partner, hip hop fashion mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs of the Sean Jean fashion label, is also an invited guest to the event.
