Scrambled Tofu

This is the first tofu dish I’ve ever made, and I’ll be honest—I was extremely concerned I wouldn’t like it. But I’m all about risk taking, and it turned out really good.

I started by draining a crumbling some medium-firm tofu (1lb block). Then I chopped up a ton of veggies (Onion, garlic, red peppers, green peppers, tomatoes, and some spinach)

Satayed the onion and garlic, then added the peppers, and then the tomato. I seasoned it with ground cumin and turmeric (approx a tsp). Then I added the crumbled tofu, and added the spinach and continued to cook and stir. It was relatively quick.

I added some red chilli sauce when I ate it and it was delicious!!

Black Bean Quesadillas

I made the best dinner ever tonight. Black Bean Quesadillas— courtesy the Canadian Living cookbook “The Vegetarian Collection”, which my sister got me for Christmas. Thank you sister:)

So I chopped some green and red peppers, onion, tomato, corn, and satayed with some olive oil. Added some chili powder and ground cumin, and a couple handfuls of drained and rinsed black beans and satayed  a little longer. Then I sprayed a baking sheet with Pam, and sprinkled cheese on the tortilla, loaded on the mixture, and added more cheese. Cooked at 425 for a brief time, and then DEVOURED it.

Technically I was supposed to add salsa to the mixture—but I was out, so I made it without, and it was still damn good.

Mmm, food.
