Do not be deceived by the beauty of this plate. The tortillas may as well have been scrambled up with the tofu for all the good they did as a vehicle for the stuffing. Needless to say, this was a fork and knife meal. This was one of my first forays in the world of no wheat. I’m not too impressed. Quality ingredients and nutritional stats aside, they were similar to (a thinner) cardboard in texture. The slightest bend and they cracked like a stale wafer. Interestingly enough, they were packaged between individual… Read more >

I made this on a whim because I had veggies on their last legs and part of a package of tofu. Traditionally, you make strata with eggs and cheese and you bake it in the oven (here’s my mom’s recipe for a goat cheese, mushroom and asparagus strata). But here’s a vegan version that’s fast and microwaveable. Vegan Veggie Strata Ingredients: leftover sautéed zucchini and squash 3-4 de-stemmed leaves of kale 1/2 red bell pepper 1 cup broccoli florets 2 slices of bread 10 oz (~3/4 package) silken tofu 1 cup almond milk 1 tbsp… Read more >

Are you ready for the easiest meal ever? frozen stir-fry veggies + 1/4 cup water extra firm tofu 2 tbsp peanut butter 2 tbsp coconut oil Asian spice mix/Chinese five spices blend (I used 365 Asian seasoning) Add the stir-fry veggies, the water, and the spices until the veggies have thawed. Then add the rest of the ingredients. Serve over rice. Bam! – you’re in Bangkok – and dinner is done.

Hi, I’m in a salad rut. [never a bad thing] As I’ve repeatedly blogged about, I’m a bit of a prep queen. Whenever I know I have several shifts in a row, I make sure to prepare healthy and flexible food options ahead of time. I hate coming home to an empty fridge (and after 12+ hours on my feet, I definitely don’t have the energy to start cooking a meal from scratch). This week’s examples: Lentils & wheat berries. [Soaking on stand-by] Veggies. [I always have greens, tomatoes, bell peppers, & carrots on… Read more >

My meals have been pretty bizarre lately so don’t say I didn’t warn you. I have no clue how this meal was born. It came out of nowhere and makes no sense. At first I thought I wanted sweet oats (my normal breakfast thang). But then I saw some leftover tofu and said to myself “why not!” I added chai tea to my oats along with half the block of tofu and mashed them all up together. Then I figured to go full on savory and add in some veggies, nutritional yeast, and Bragg’s… Read more >
