Tofu 101: Your Guide To All Things Tofu! Readers, meet tofu. Tofu, meet readers. Welcome to Tofu 101: a guide to the what, why and how of all things tofu. Class is now in session! What Tofu is made similar to cheese, and starts with extracting soy milk from ground, cooked soybeans. The more the tofu is pressed, the firmer it becomes. Silken tofu is great for adding to smoothies or scrambling like eggs, while firm or extra firm (my fave) is best for using in everyday dishes. Why Tofu is a great source of protein for those looking for a meat alternative, and it’s also high in calcium, iron and contains no cholesterol. Plus, it’s so versatile! The nutrition and versatility is great, but the TASTE is what I really love. I also really like eating tofu raw, adding it to cold salads and such. What I’m sure you really want to know though is, what’s the texture like? Now, I use a tofu press to press out even more of the water my extra firm tofu comes packed in, just to get it that much more firm, but it’s totally not necessary. How Wok oil

Vegan Ricotta and Spinach Lasagna for Two « Quiche-a-Week 1/2 lasagna: 376 calories // 27g carbs // 27g fat // 11g protein // 4g fiber // 4g sugar Back at the end of June (I checked Foursquare [it does have a point!]), my dad came to visit me in New York. would you like some haphazardly placed basil leaves that speak to my laissez faire lifestyle?

baked chicken-less taquito — the tolerant vegan - StumbleUpon As you know, I am not a huge fan of the faux cheeses. They usually gross me out. I’ve tried several vegan cheese pizzas, cheese dogs, cheese sauces, etc that people claimed were THE BEST EVER, only to find myself disappointed and sometimes disgusted. Fast forward to last week when I saw this recipe. I couldn’t stop thinking about it. I gave in. You should probably add it to your menu, too. Baked Chicken-less Taquitos Adapted from Pink ParsleyMakes 12 taquitosPrintable recipe Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees fahrenheit. For the fake chicken part of this recipe, I bought Chicken-less Strips from Trader Joe’s and chopped them into smaller pieces. An interested kitty means it’s pretty realistic “meat.” Combine your garlic, chopped cilantro, scallions, yellow onion, red bell pepper, dairy-free cheeses and chicken-less chicken into a large bowl. Combine the cream cheese blend with the chicken, cheeses and veggies and stir. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the tops begin to brown.
