There are times when I just don’t want meat. So, what is the next best thing? Tofu. Did you know that when you fix Tofu it will take on whatever flavor you cook with it. Also, it comes in all forms; crumble, soft to extra firm. Depending on how you want to prepare it; will depend on which form you will choose. In this dish I have used the firm form. With it as well as with the extra firm you can slice it and pan fry or bake it. You can pretty much prepare it as you would a piece of meat. So, the following is one of my dishes that I like to prepare when I just don’t want the heavy feeling you get after eating meat.
1/2 block of firm Tofu
1 small squash
1 small zucchini
1 small Onion
1 clove of Garlic minced
Sesame Seed Oil
1/2 teaspoon Ms Dash table blend
1/2 cup of Panko Breadcrumbs
1 Sweet Poatato
Preheat oven to 350. Place Tofu in a towel and place on plate and then place another plate on top of that to help squeeze out excess water for about 30 min. On a separate plate, place panko breadcrumbs and add Ms Dash table blend and mix well. Cut Tofu into 3 pieces and coat with breadcrumbs and place on a lightly coated baking sheet and bake for 25 – 30 min. Place sweet potato in aluminum foil and bake with Tofu. Cut squash and zucchini long ways and set aside. Slice onion and saute in olive oil and garlic until onions are cooked to your liking. Add squash and zucchini then cook to desired tenderness. After plating lightly drizzle sesame seed oil over Tofu. Happy Eating, Enjoy.
Since I stopped eating red meat a year ago; I have discovered blackbean burgers. They taste great and are very filling. What goes good with blackbean burgers? Well, I thought you would never ask. Onions, sauteed in olive oil and garlic. Now, lets not forget the the side dish. One of the side dishes I like and I know you will too; is sauteed spinach in olive oil. So here is one of my dishes that I think you will enjoy.
1 Wholewheat Sandwich Thin
1 Morning Star Blackbean Patty

Handful of Spinach

Pinch of Sea Salt
Saute onion in olive oil and garlic. When onions cook down remove the amount of onions that you want to place on your burger. Add spinach and sea salt to the remaining onions and cook spinach to the desired tenderness. Cook burger according to packaging directions. Enjoy!!
Even when you want to eat healthy; you can still have that tasty desert. A desert does not have to be loaded with sugar and white flour to taste good. The following is a desert that is both healthy and great tasting.
2 cups of Oatmeal
1 scoop of Chocolate Protein Powder or 3 TBL spoons of Cocoa Powder
1/4 cup of Honey
1 tsp of Baking Powder
1 Egg
1 Apple pureed or 1/4 cup of Applesauce (unsweetened)
1/4 cup of chopped Raw Almonds
1 TBL spoon of Flax Seed
3/4 cup of Almond Milk
Preheat oven to 350
Combine dry ingredients slowly add the wet ingredients. Mix well. Use parchment paper in a 9×13 baking dish. This will eliminate the use of butter on the bottom of your dish; not to mention easy clean up. Bake for 25 to 30 min. Cool for 5 mins; cut into bars. This dish is high in protein if made with the protein powder….Enjoy!!
