1 tbsp soy sauce
6 small potatoes, peeled and roughly chopped
1 carrot, finely diced
soy milk

1. Add wild rice to water, bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer for 40-50 minutes until rice has puffed and absorbed most of liquid.

2. Saute onions in margarine until translucent.

3. Add celery, thyme, sage, vegetable broth bouillon cube and soy sauce and cook for 5-10 minutes.

4. Add potatoes and simmer for 20 minutes or until potatoes are cooked.

5. Blend mixture in foo processor or blender until smooth.

**Perfect Potatoes**

6 medium potatoes
1 large onion
salt and pepper
1 1/4 c. soy milk
1 1/2 tbsp vegan margarine

1. Peel and finely slice potatoes and onion.

2. Layer slices in a shallow ovenproof dish, sprinkling each layer with some salt and pepper.

3. Pour milk over top and dot with margarine.

4. Bake uncoveredin preheated oven @ 350º for 1-1 1/2 hours or until potatoes are soft, golden brown on top.

**Vegetable Tofu Scrambler** (doesn't have to be for breakfast)

1/2 medium onion, chopped
4-5 mushrooms, sliced
splash of olive oil
1 pkg. firm tofu, crumbled
1-2 tsp curry powder
pepper to taste
salsa to taste
2 stalks green onions, chopped

In large saucepan, add onions and mushrooms to a splash of olive oil and saute on medium-high heat until onions are translucent. Crumble tofu and add to saucepan. Add curry and pepper. Sautee 10-12 minutes until moisture has evaporated. Add salsa and green onions and scramble on high for 2-4 minutes. Makes 2 or more servings.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Other things that are really quick are refried bean burritos, pasta and marinara sauce, and vegan sloppy joes (morningstar or boca crumbles and manwich sauce - 5 minutes start to finish). All staples around here (aside from stir fry and rice).
