I'm interested in the "throw-together" stew and wondering about proportions or if there is an actual recipe. I love making soups and stews but never thought of using peanut butter. My mother-in-law has this old book for taking care of people who are dying and they use a mixture of tomatoes and peanut butter as a cheese substitute but I kind of thought it was unusual (and, of course, never tried it).

Hey Shawna,
I always make these up as I go along. For soup, I have a recipe posted here:

This could easily be made into stew with a few more ingredients - namely the grains. For peanut butter, I added about 1.5 T to thicken the broth and to add richness. Cashew butter works great as well.
Tomatoes and pb as a cheese substitute? I've never heard of that! Although, blended raw cashews often get used in faux-cheese recipes - wonder if it works the same way?
Good luck with your challenge! It sounds as though you're putting in way more effort than I am!

Well, it was time for a change for me. So, the challenge is good motivation to do it. I was a vegan junk-food-aholic and that is just not good for me.
Thanks for the recipe link & tips! Enjoy the challenge.
