    <description>These are very easy to make enchiladas for a quick meal.</description>
    <id type="integer">39</id>
    <ingredients>1 8 oz can of Red or Tomatillo green enchilada sauce&lt;br&gt;6 corn tortillas&lt;br&gt;6 Tbsp of "Tofutti" Garlic Soy Cream Cheese&lt;br&gt;1 medium bunch spinach or 2 medium zucchini&lt;br&gt;3 green onions (diced)&lt;br&gt;1 cup of "Tofutti" Soy Shredded Cheddar Cheese</ingredients>
    <instructions>Clean and prepare the spinach or zucchini.  Shred the zucchini or finely chop the spinach.&lt;br&gt;Spray an 8x8 square pan or a casserole dish with cooking spray.  Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.&lt;br&gt;Mix the zucchini or spinach with the Tofutti shredded cheese.&lt;br&gt;Microwave the corn tortillas for 10 seconds for easier folding and pliability.&lt;br&gt;Spread 1 tablespoon of the Tofutti soy cream cheese on each tortilla.&lt;br&gt;Fill each tortilla with the cheese and vegetable mixture.  Do not over fill since it will make it difficult to wrap the tortilla.&lt;br&gt;Fold each tortilla into a cylindrical shape.  Then place into the pan or casserole dish.&lt;br&gt;Once all the enchiladas have been folded and placed into the pan, pour the enchilada sauce over them until they are all covered.  Cover the pan or casserole dish and bake in oven for 30 minutes.&lt;br&gt;Remove from oven and serve.  Sprinkle chopped green onions over each enchilada before serving.</instructions>

    <ingredients>2 cups wrist-temperature water&lt;br&gt;1 package active dry yeast&lt;br&gt;drop of molasses&lt;br&gt;1 1/2 cups whole wheat bread flour&lt;br&gt;4 tbs. olive oil&lt;br&gt;1/3 cup molasses&lt;br&gt;1 tbs. salt&lt;br&gt;3 more cups whle wheat bread flour&lt;br&gt;4 cups unbleached white flour&lt;br&gt;a little olive oil for the bowl and the pans</ingredients>
    <instructions>Place the water in a large bowl and sprinkle in the yeast.  Add the drop of molasses and let it stand for about a minute or two.&lt;br&gt;Beat in 1 1/2 cups whole what bread flour with a whisk, cover the bowl with a clean tea towel, and put it in a warm place to rise for 35-40 minutes.&lt;br&gt;Beat in the mix.&lt;br&gt;Add the additional flour 1 cup at a time, graduating from wooden spoon to floured hand as the dough thickens.  When all the flour is added, turn out the dough onto a clean, floured surface.&lt;br&gt;Knead the dough for about 10-15 minutes, adding extra flour, as necessary, to combat stickiness.&lt;br&gt;Oil the bowl, and roll the kneaded dough in it so its surface gets nicely coated.  Cover with a towel, and let it rise until its bulk has doubled.  (This will take aobut 1 1/2 - 2 hours.)&lt;br&gt;Punch down the risen dough, return it to the floured surface, and knead for another 5-10 minutes, adding flour if necessary.  Divide in half and form 2 loaves.  Oil 2 bread pans or baking trays, place the loaves in or on them, and cover with the towel.  L&lt;br&gt;If desired, brush the loaves with water or soymilk for various effects on the crust.  Bake for about 40 minutes, or until the loaves sound hollow when tapped resolutely on the bottom.  Remove the breads from the pans or tray right away, and cool on a rack&lt;br&gt;As an option, add 1 cup of dried fruit, nuts or cooked grains to the mix.</instructions>

    <instructions>Preheat oven to 375 degrees.&lt;br&gt;Blend the tofu in a blender or food processor until creamy and smooth.&lt;br&gt;Add the remaining ingredients and blend well.&lt;br&gt;Pour into the crust and bake about 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out almost clean.&lt;br&gt;For the crust:  &lt;br&gt;Stir the flour and salt together in a bowl.  Take out 1/3 cup of the flour mixture and mix with the cold water to make a paste.  Set this aside.&lt;br&gt;With a pastry cutter or fork, cut the vegetable shortening into the remaining flour mixture until the texture becomes"pebbly."  Add the paste to the flour-shortening mixture and mix until it can be shaped into a ball.  Divide into 2 parts.&lt;br&gt;Lightly flour your rolling surface and your rolling pin.  Roll one portion of the pie dough at a time.  Roll from the center out, lifting the roller at the end of the dough (rather than rolling back and forth.)  Roll to a 1/8 inch thickness.&lt;br&gt;Have an 8- or 9- inch pie pan ready.  The rolled dough circle should be at least 2 inches larger than your pie pan.  Loosen the pastry from the rolling surface, fold it in half, lift it and lay it in the center of the pie pan.  Unfold the pastry, gently w&lt;br&gt;Fill with the pumpkin mixture.</instructions>

    <instructions>Queso Spread:&lt;br&gt;Place all the ingredients except canned tomatoes in a blender, and process until completely smooth.&lt;br&gt;Stir in a can or more of the tomatoes, depending on taste.

Add the chili mix and stir well.  Add beans and tomatoes.&lt;br&gt;Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 25 minutes.

Roll the mixture into walnut size balls and place onto an oiled baking sheet.&lt;br&gt;Bake at 350 degrees for about 30-40 minutes.  The bottoms of the balls should be lightly browned.

    <ingredients>1 tbsp. apple cider vinegar&lt;br&gt;approximately 1 c. soy milk&lt;br&gt;1 1/2 c. unbleached all-purpose flour&lt;br&gt;1 1/2 c. spelt flour or whole wheat pastry flour&lt;br&gt;3/8 c. sucanat or other sweetner&lt;br&gt;3 tsp. baking powder&lt;br&gt;3/4 tsp. baking soda&lt;br&gt;3/4 tsp salt&lt;br&gt;1/2 c. spectrum spread or other soy margarine&lt;br&gt;3 tsp. vanilla extract&lt;br&gt;3/4 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped&lt;br&gt;3/4 cup dried cherries</ingredients>
    <instructions>Place the rack in the middle of the oven.&lt;br&gt;Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.  Lightly mist a nonstick cookie sheet with vegetable oil cooking spray or line with parchment paper.&lt;br&gt;Put apple cider vinegar into a 1-cup measuring cup and add enough soy milk to bring it level to 1 cup.  Set aside.  The mixture will be clabbered, like buttermilk.&lt;br&gt;In a large mixing bowl, mix together the dry ingredients.  Add the spectrum spread to the dry ingredients, and cut it in using a pastry blender or two knives or your fingers.  The mixture will be crumbly now.&lt;br&gt;Add the walnuts and cherries to the bowl and mix them in.&lt;br&gt;Add the vanilla to the vinegar and soy milk mixture and pour almost all of this mixture into the dry ingredients.&lt;br&gt;Stir quickly with a spatula only until the mixture forms a soft dough.  You don't want a gooey mess, so add more soy milk only if the dough still seems crumbly rather than doughy.&lt;br&gt;Turn the dough onto the cookie sheet in 4 equal parts.  Shape each part into a thick circle about 5-7 inches in diameter.  Using a sharp knife, score the top of each circle, dividing it into quarters.  (For smaller scones, divide the dough into 6 wedges.)&lt;br&gt;Bake for 12 minutes.  A toothpick stuck into the middle of each scone should come out clean, and the bottoms will be lightly browned.  Don't let them bake too long, but they may need a few more minutes.  Transfer them to a wire rack and enjoy.</instructions>
