I guess by now you guys on here know some of my preferences.

Scrambled tofu with bacon, rye bread with Mett and red onions, Camembert on apricot jam. Plus one of my favorite coffee mugs pictured.

 

ETA: the "bacon" got good and crispy this time.

What is your scrambled tofu recipe/strategy? I have a lazy vegan child who really needs to start cooking more.

I made a fusion out of several recipes. I don't weigh or really measure anything to the t. Here is my personal keeper:

- tofu, one 200 g block (not too firm but not silken tofu, you might need to experiment with available brands)

- some red onion rings

Fry that in a bit of oil. Then add

- turmeric, about 1 tsp and a little bit of hot Water and stir until the tofu is yellow.

- white almond butter, about 1 tsp (I use the one with European almonds, it has a slightly less sweet taste)

- soy skyr, about 2 heaping tsp

Stir around again, then add

- nooch, lightly cover the whole mass in the pan and add a bit of hot water to make it creamy and stir some more

- add the magic dust last: kala namak to taste

ETA: I sometimes add mushrooms to this. With the nooch you might need to find your favorite as well. Nooch varies in taste - big time.

Interestingly enough my husband asked me for my recipe as well today 😂 (I'm going to teach him the recipe when he comes over next weekend).

kala namak

Perfect! Another spice to annoy and confused my family with 🤣

However, it really is the magic dust in egg-y vegan recipes. Without it - just forget the whole recipe! It's simply not the same.

first meal of day: biscuit, eggs, some of my homemade "moon cheese" (there was a thread about it yesterday and of course i had to make some!)

now, i don't know why i continue to make 2 eggs whenever i feel for egg's because 90% of the time i just end up eating one of them, but there you go.

426 calories, and all the cheese and 1/2 of the rest.

ha! got my mitts onto the halloween candy in the foyer waiting to doled out tonight!

chips, chocolate and some nuts (nuts from the pantry, not the halloween bucket lol)

418 calories, ate it all.

(can i say how much easier it is to eat chips and candy vs my lunch 🙄)

Went to Vegas for a few days, feeling lazy to get back into cooking and meal prep so eating "quick" things for the past 2 days. I hope I can snap out of it and keep learning to cook lol.

For Breakfast, I just had 36g of Catalina Crunch Cereal in chocolate banana flavor (110 cal, 6g fat, 14g carbs, 11g protein) with 1 cup of cashew milk (25 cal). It is one of my favorite quick ways to get some Protein in. I ate it all. Wish I had bananas to put in it.

[summerset 5,265]

Banana, Alpro Protein pudding, almond butter.

Shredded chicken Gordita (B & A)

I made it about 75% through but maybe I should have stopped sooner because it was surprisingly heavy on Protein.

I encouraged my vegan child to cook today instead if only eating vegan convenience foods. She made the bruised kale salad (I made the Beans and sweet potato) She still ate the vegan chicken but I’ll count this as a win and hope for the best when college begins.

How this salad came out to 500 calories is insane! I’m blaming the quorn meatless nuggets (vegetarian not vegan as they have egg whites in them). Even so, I’m at 1300 calories for the day even with “ice cream” for dessert.

[Tomo 1,196]

Tofu Shirataki tonkotsu noodle Soup (150 cal), 2 Chinese sausages (45 cal each, air fried first) and napa cabbage and Korean pepper to make it spicy. Soup helps me with hydration, and it's delicious and low calorie & filling. Here the kit, it comes with two servings. I always add things to it like an eggs, Proteins, veggies... Etc. https://www.safeway.com/shop/product-details.960528886.html

Thursday’s chicken enchiladas (I ate half of one) and then I made bread that I forgot to tent so the tops got extra toasty. Turned a couple slices into toast with cashew butter. (Ate one slice). Friday the kids had Pasta salad and I packed pintos and rice for my work lunch.
