Thanks–yes, you’re right, Mountain House is moving toward more meat and dairy. I’ve never heard of Outdoor Herbivore–I’ll look for them.

Might want to check out the outdoorherbivore.com, we used to eat the Mountain House meals also. Now that we are trying to get away from dairy and meat I am buying the 3-Day combo from the outdoor herbivore. They have vegetarian and vegan meals.

Such a beautiful crust. I’ll certainly try this method!

Really good. We tripled the yeast based on your experience and baked another 8 minutes after taking off the lid and it was still very moist.

We have a Whole Foods coming to my neighborhood soon; I’ve never heard of field roast before and I’m excited to try it.
I use chard instead of bok choy in recipes as well. It’s so much cheaper and just as tasty. Thanks for the great-sounding recipe!

Thanks! The potatoes give it that hearty umph this dish needed.

Chard is much more like spinach than kale. It’s heartier than spinach, but not like kale is. It takes a few more minutes to steam than spinach does and I think the tastes are similar. It may hold up better in casseroles and sauteed dishes than spinach just because it’s slightly thicker. It’s fabulous!

This looks great! I have yet to try chard. How does it compare to spinach? Is it really similar? Or is it more kale-y?

This looks super delish! I love chard and Field Roast together, but I’ve never added potatoes to the mix. Brilliant!

Wow! Lucky You!! I’ve been pouring over ‘Craigslist’ these past few weeks, but not much success. I think it’s time I bite the bullet and go out and invest in a decent food processor. But no matter how nice it is, my recipes will NEVER look as delicious as yours. lol Keep up the great work.
