I made your moussaka for thanksgiving last year along with the sumac salad from the 3 hour thanksgiving video, everyone loved it! Can't wait to try this recipe. I'm gonna try it with my favorite soy milk I typically use for bechemel, the unsweetend Silk brand.

The green part of leeks is absolutely edible. It's a lot less hard than kale for example! And once cooked it's as soft as the white. Just cook it altogether and it's delicious

I am going through chemo and finding satisfying foods that aren’t acidic and won’t hurt my mouth has been such a challenge. This recipe was a bit of work but wow, it is so heavenly!

I’m thinking of trying it out but is this a really long dish to make or one that you can easily make during the week?
@_Oscar3266 ай бұрын
@@Melanie-jy2nw - It can be done mid-week but you can save yourself some headache by making the tofu ricotta on the weekend. I feel it gets better the longer it sits. I have also stuffed the shells and refrigerated them in a dish for a day. Make the beschemel (sp?) sauce the day of and pour on before baking.

This looks amazing! Personally, I find leeks easier and faster to clean before you slice them. If you cut it in half lenghtwise, you can separate the layers a little with your fingers and wash away any dirt under running water

I'm desperate to be healthy, but I think vegan is the answer. Both of my parents had dementia, so I quit my job and took care of them. Last year, they both passed away after 3 months. It was stressful. My parents passed away, and I am physically and mentally ill. I have a brain aneurysm in my head and two brain aneurysms. I even had hypothyroidism, so I suddenly gained 15kg. Anxiety disorder Panic disorder I still suffer from insomnia. A year after my parents passed away, I'm still in treatment, but it hasn't been long since I started again. I started KZbin, took a walk, and traveled because I had the courage to share and communicate. Now I want to be healthy. I want everyone watching this video to be healthy. When you lose health, you lose everything.
