Today's food

[Guest guest]

So James has decided to jump on the fat-free vegan bandwagon with me for

at least our meals at home. That is, he's always eaten whatver I serve,

but this morning, I said, " You know I've been trying to cook our meals

with as little fat as possible. I made tofu scramble and toast -- do you

want butter on your toast? " and he said, " No, just put the scramble on

top of the toast and that should be fine. "

 

Anyway, it's so much easier than cooking two meals, the way I had to do

with my ex (though I was of course happy to cook whatever she wanted to

eat, because I love cooking for people).

 

Today's plan (I know it has tofu twice, but I had planned to make

pancakes or waffles this morning from a ffvegan recipe and when I woke

up I didn't feel up to thinking that hard. :-)

Tofu Scramble

For each serving:

 

2 Tbsp water

1/4 tsp onion powder

1/4 package firm tofu, crumbled into a colander and left to drain until

you need it

1/8 tsp turmeric

1/4 onion, sliced or chopped

1/2 carrot, sliced or grated

1/2 small tomato, chopped

salt and black pepper to taste

 

Feel free to use whatever veggies you have on hand. Add water and onion

powder to a skillet and turn on medium heat. Add onion and carrot and

cook, stirring occasionally, until onion begins to turn translucent (if

carrot is grated, you can add it a little later). Add remaining

ingredients. Cook, stirring occasionally, until everything is hot and

most of the liquid is gone.

 

 

Spanish Rice, cheater's version

 

Make 1 cup rice the normal stovetop way, but in addition to the normal

1.5-2 cups water, add in 1/2 cup salsa, some diced onion, green pepper,

and anaheim chili, and a pinch of chili powder.
