Our Polenta Roll is an easily made type of bread. Polenta is an Italian dish of boiled cornmeal, simply cornmeal simmered in liquid and stirred, and served either as hot porridge or cooled to form a solid like the Polenta Roll we are making. It can be baked, fried, grilled, or as sliced and eaten like any other loaf of bread.
In our Multigrain Rice we use Wild Rice with a cooking time of 50 minutes. We use Red Rice and Brown Basmati Rice, both with a 25-minute cooking time. Using the ‘pasta method’ we use a large pot of boiling water and boil the Wild Rice first for 25 minutes at which time we add the remaining types of rice thus ensuring that all three rice types are perfectly cooked and ready to drain all together.
Cashew Cheese is our new obsession and it has made it into our new, improved traditional Christmas fare. During the year we predominantly eat a whole food plant base diet. Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas meals are the general exception to the rule where we permit ourselves to eat or serve some type of animal base product and some processed foods. We don’t give in wholeheartedly to these exceptions, mainly because we have lost our appetite for such food. We try to give ourselves and our guests alternative options.
