I have done it again. All things gyro! This time, I made gyro tofu sliders with tzatziki slaw. The tofu was pan fried so it was nice and crispy on the outside, just the way I like it!
The first time I tried this recipe, I was using up leftovers from the fridge. I had just made my favorite gyro recipe, these tempeh gyro tacos, and I was inspired to try the marinade with some leftover tofu. Continue reading
I get a lot on recipe inspiration from magazines. Surprisingly (or not if you know me well), I like to recreate the meat dishes instead of trying the meatless recipes. I turned a jerk chicken recipe into a jerk tofu with green curry forbidden rice recipe.
Usually, I think of green curry paste as a thai staple. However, it goes well with jerk seasoning, as they have some similar flavors. Continue reading

One of my favorite food items during winter is sprouts! They are easy to grow on your own when there isn’t much available for fresh, local produce. I recommend using sprouts in sandwiches and wraps, like this smoked tofu and sprouts sandwich!
Someday soon I will be putting together a post on how to grow your own sprouts at home. It is so easy, anyone can do it. It does take 5-7 days before you can harvest, but the wait is totally worth it! Continue reading

Curry is a staple dish in the vegetarian diet. Curry simply means blended. Hence, most curry powders are a blend of spices and seasonings. My quick vegetarian red curry uses garam masala curry powder.
Garam masala is a blend commonly used in Indian cuisine. Northern Indian food seasons with dairy, while southern Indian food uses more coconut milk to flavor their curries. Continue reading

When I was prepping this recipe for the blog, I couldn’t decide if it should be two recipes or one. In the end, I made it a single recipe for spiced turmeric tofu with coconut cilantro rice. The rice and tofu could be served separately, but they are awesome together!
I’m a huge fan of tofu, while most people are not. I don’t know why, but I have just always loved it. Even before going meatless I would seek out restaurants that had great tofu. Continue reading

Recently, I have found myself in a love-hate relationship with spaghetti squash. It is a very tasty low-carb option, but, I don’t like it as a substitute for spaghetti noodles, It’s just not the same for me. Instead I use the squash is recipes like this vegetarian bibimbap spaghetti squash bowls!
When spaghetti squash is in season in fall, I try to find new ways to use it. In the past, I have made enchilada spaghetti squash boats and pesto Parmesan spaghetti squash bowls. Continue reading

Today I want to tell you about the best airplane food I’ve ever had. It was a vegan green curry, and I loved it so much, I was inspired to make my own high protein vegan thai green curry.
Usually, I don’t think much of the food they serve on airplanes. Vegetarians are stuck with mushy pasta dishes, and no other options. The last time I few, they ran out of mushy pasta, and I refused to take the chicken dish. Continue reading

Tofu can be a pretty intimidating ingredient if you have no experience using it. This recipe, easy pan fried crispy tofu, is really more about learning a method to cook tofu than it is developing a recipe.
One of my goals with this blog is to help people learn how to cook more meatless meals. If you are experimenting with meatless eating, or a new vegetarian trying to learn some tricks of the trade, I have so much to share with you about cooking tofu! Continue reading
This weekend, I challenged myself to build a meal based on what I already had at home. These peanut butter tofu banh mi bowls helped me to use up left over veggies, and I discovered a new combo that I love – peanut butter and tofu!
I love to do my grocery shopping, which might be weird, but what kind of women doesn’t like to shop?! Personally, I don’t like to shop for clothes or shoes, I like to shop for food. I guess I’m a foodie. Maybe. Continue reading
