Thanks everyone for all the fabulous recipes you sent in this digest. I

hit pay dirt at the supermarket yesterday. They were selling " old "

mushrooms for a dollar off, but they all looked beautiful, not old, soft, or

brown

at all! So I bought a few boxed... er... I bought 19 boxes. Hey, my kids

love mushrooms and I couldn't get past a sale like that. So... Here's what

I made for dinner last night, and my little boys scarfed it up! Super

easy. Super delicious!

 

Mushroom & Tofu Tacos

 

Ingredients

1 large box (24 oz.) white mushrooms, sliced

1 box light (low-fat) firm tofu, cut into small cubes

2 packages taco mix

water

cooking spray

dry white wine

Hard taco shells or tortilla wraps (we used both)

2 avocados, sliced (or guacamole, if you prefer)

1 can black olives, sliced (optional)

1 container reduced fat sour cream

1 jar corn, bean, & tomato salsa (or your favorite salsa)

several sheets of romaine lettuce, shredded

 

Lightly saute the mushrooms and tofu with the cooking spray and wine.

Then, just pretend that the mixture is meat and follow the directions on the

back of the taco mix package. Sprinkle on the mix, add some water, and stir

until it thickens up.

 

The rest is simple (as if the beginning was difficult LOL). Just stuff

the hard or soft tacos with the mushroom & tofu mixture, avocado slices,

olive slices, salsa, lettuce, and sour cream. My kids loved it.

 

Side dishes:

Crudities:

1 small bag Baby carrots

10 oz box of fresh mushrooms, Quartered, with the stems left on for

" handles "

1 box grape tomatoes

2 cucumbers, peeled and cut into rods maybe 4 inches long

3 dipping sauces (fat & sugar free honey Dijon dressing, and fat free ranch

dressing, but you could used any

dipping sauces that you prefer)

 

Beans & Mushrooms:

1 can fat free refried beans

1 can black beans, drained

1 can kernel corn, drained

10 oz. box of mushrooms, sliced

 

Mix it all together. Heat and serve.

 

Dessert:

Fresh Fruit Salad:

2 mangos, cut up

1 bag of seedless green grapes, grapes pulled off the vines

4 kiwis, peeled and sliced

1 box of strawberries, each large berry halved

1 box of blueberries

1 pineapple, cut into chunks

 

Mix it all together and serve. We ate the leftover fruit salad for

breakfast with cottage cheese. Yum!
