Approachable bites for real life
This Lemon Herb Tofu has become a fan favorite at Thanksgiving. We’ve been perfecting it over the past several years and this year, BIL was good enough to weigh out all the ingredients so we know exactly how we like it. This tofu is super lemony from the addition of preserved lemon. You can use…
This sheet pan teriyaki tofu is one of those simple, adaptable recipes that’ll definitely be on repeat in my house. I’m always talking about the benefits of soy foods, it’s a great plant-based protein. There is some research indicating that soy foods may decrease risk of lung cancer in non-smokers, decrease risk of prostate cancer,…
These veggie soba bowls are the greatest, they have everything you need for a delicious, nutritious, all-in-one meal! This is super versatile, so it’s great for using up whatever’s in the fridge. Soba is a buckwheat noodle. Eating buckwheat is associated with lower cholesterol levels, and is a high source of magnesium, which is good…
This is rapidly becoming a favorite meal. It’s based off of these tofu lettuce wraps, but combined in a bowl for a more filling/less fussy dinner. I made it twice in a week, it’s that good. It’s super flavorful and customizable to what you have on hand. And while I know that tofu isn’t everyone’s…
I loved this meal. It’s super flavorful, comes together quickly and works great as either a main dish or would be a lovely appetizer (just omit the rice). These were a bit messy and I ended up eating them more as a salad than a wrap, but that made them no less delicious. This is…
With summer approaching and the temperatures rising, you can bet I will be eating a lot more of this tofu. This is super simple to prepare, it’s refreshing and cold and light. This goes great with a salad (I’d recommend an Asian cabbage salad like this or this or this) for a quick, light summer…
This is based off of a recipe I saw in a magazine, I thought it sounded delicious, and went to the grocery store intending to make it later in the week. And yet some how I forgot to get half of the ingredients. So when trying to eat up all the produce before leaving for…
This salad was super delicious. There’s lots of delicious stuff going on in this salad. Tofu and edamame add protein, the vegetables add a variety of color, texture and nutrients, and the dressing adds a punch of delicious citrusy flavor with salty-sweet flavors from the soy sauce and honey. The ground flaxseed adds a really…
So last night’s SCL dinner was my 12th week. It was also the last class of the second term (don’t worry, a 3rd term starts next week!). After all this time I figured it was about time I made the ultimate scary vegetarian food: tofu! I’m a big fan of tofu, but don’t make it…
Donburi is a Japanese dish that we ate often when growing up. While donburi is really a category of dishes, meaning served over rice (gyudon with beef, oyakodon with chicken and egg); growing up Mom would always make it with ground beef, vegetables and egg. For more traditional recipes, I love Just One Cookbook. I’m…
