A reader recently discovered she wasn’t able to tolerate tofu…after ordering a case of Mori-Nu silken lite firm tofu. So she sent them to me!!! Thanks again Emily 🙂 They arrived slightly crushed, but I immediately got to work on cooking with them. I had already planned on making a lasagna that day, but I’d only ever made the tofu “ricotta” with extra firm (non-silken) tofu before. I figured I may as well give it a try with the silken kind. I used my same hummus/tofu recipe for the “ricotta”: 3 containers of… Read more >

Contrary to what my posting may indicate, I do still work! Sorry I’ve been withholding my packed eats from you guys. I have only been taking pictures of 50% of them, though, so here’s what I’ve got. Hope this helps you with some ideas! Oats. Veggies. Pretzels. Sabra hummus (x2). Lasagna (leftover). Cookies. Apple. Candied ginger. Oat preference as of late: nuts, cinnamon & dried cherries. When the cherries soak overnight they plump up to get to be the size of full cherries. It’s pretty cool. Now that we are meal planning, my real real… Read more >

Pasta with tofu “ricotta” is really climbing the charts in favorite dinners. I’m making some form of this dish every other week, at least. Rather than manicotti, which we’ve had twice this month already, I made lasagna. Same concept as this recipe – with hummus and tofu “cheese” and spinach layered between pasta and marinara sauce. I made a double batch of the tofu & hummus “cheese” using two whole packages of extra-firm tofu and nearly one cup of hummus. And I used 365 brand no-bake whole wheat lasagna noodles. I… Read more >

Just a typical morning bowl of oatmeal. The weird part about this breakfast was how I picked around the nuts. I don’t know why, but I wasn’t in to them this morning. The cinnamon and maple syrup were all the topping I needed. After breakfast I set to work on mega errands. Our laundry needed to be done immediately (our clothes reeked of smoke from our weekend away). On top of that we had dirty dishes, an empty fridge, a thirsty tomato plant, and much much more. To do list, game on. Eventually, I… Read more >

If you like Italian food (particularly lasagna) and you’re looking for a shortcut. This is it. Vegan and gluten free deliciousness is minutes away. [Ok, that’s a slight exaggeration, there’s definitely 30 minutes of oven time to factor in] What you need: marinara sauce vegan cream cheese (I used Follow Your Heart brand) rice paper (Asian markets will have them for half the cost of conventional grocers) tempeh (I used LightLife flax) What you do: Layer. For the rice paper, hold it under running water for a few seconds so it starts to soften. Once… Read more >
