Broccoli Tofu Scramble
Posted in Recipes, tagged breakfast, low-carb, vegan on August 9, 2012 | 2 Comments »
I decided to start my day with a lower carb breakfast. I’m trying to come up with some yummy low-carb options because I’ve become painfully aware of my carb addiction. I still love you, carbs.
Broccoli Tofu Scramble
1 cup broccoli, chopped into tiny pieces
1/4 cup onion, diced
1 clove garlic, diced
1/2 package soft tofu (you can use an entire package if you want more protein)
1 1/2 tsp vegan butter
suggested spices: turmeric (provides the yellow color), garlic powder, cilantro, cayenne pepper, and paprika
___________________________________
Start by chopping the onion, garlic, and broccoli.
Melt the vegan butter in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and saute for about 1 minute.
Next add the broccoli and let it cook for about a minute.
Push the broccoli and onion to one side and add the tofu – yes, I am still that person.
Add the spices and mix them in to the tofu.
Living life on the edge now, mix the tofu with the broccoli.
Serve with salsa on top for extra flavor. I used salsa verde because it’s awesome!
I also had tomato with fresh basil and a drizzle of ponzu (yes, I love ponzu) as well as a few baby carrots. Yum!
This makes a great breakfast even if you aren’t trying to cut back on your carbs. Just add a slice of toast or your favorite cereal!

Quick and Easy Chili (or something like it)!
Posted in Recipes, tagged beans, chili, corn, kittens, vegan on August 1, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
I’ve been trying to use up a lot of the canned/dried foods I’ve managed to pack-rat away. Today I wanted something quick and filling after my run. It’s kind of a gloomy day here (which means I can see a cloud), so I decided to make chili! This takes all of 20 minutes to make and it’s chock full of protein and warm happy feelings (cayenne pepper)!
Vegan Chili
14 oz Vegan Ground “Beef”
2 cups (or 1 can) beans (kidney beans or red beans)
3 cups tomato sauce
3-4 garlic cloves, diced
recommended spices: cayenne pepper, black pepper, mustard, paprika, cilantro, and garlic
__________________________________________
Start by sauteing the garlic (use a tiny amount of vegetable oil) in a large saucepan. Add the “beef” and cook for 2-3 minutes.
(This is the gimme lean ground “beef” – it’s quite sticky and more like a paste. I prefer different brands but I had this lurking in the back of my fridge.)
Next add the tomato sauce, corn, and beans. Mix well then add the spices. Cayenne pepper makes it spicy, so add it slowly while stirring the chili until it reaches the level of spiciness you want.
You can let it simmer for a while, or serve it immediately!
What is chili without a little “cheese” – add a sprinkle of Daiya cheese shreds!
I will now leave you with a cute video of our kitten playing fetch. Both our cats play fetch, it’s weird. By weird I mean cute.
Have a good day!
