Tofu is amazing! However, not by itself. To me, the stuff straight out of the package is somewhat disgusting. It deserves to be baked, fried, broiled, sauteed and blackened.
I love garlic but when cooking with it there is a fine line between getting it crispy and burning it. Make sure to keep the heat at a medium-high temperature and be sure to keep stirring it when cooking.
I had some fresh basil and cilantro that on hand so I decided to toss it in the rice. The result was YUM!
ENJOY!
I love mushrooms and used to think that even though they were delicious, they did not offer much nutritional value. I am happy to say that I was wrong.
Many varieties of mushrooms are a great source of Selenium and all varieties provide a host of essential nutrients. Mushrooms are the only plant source that makes bone-loving Vitamin D when exposed to sunlight.
I used Cremini mushrooms in this recipe, which is an adult version of White Button mushrooms that help improve immune function.
In addition, mushrooms contain antioxidants and assist in metabolic processes.
I heart Brussels Sprouts! Growing up I remember my mom anxiously awaiting spring’s harvest. These yummy small cabbages can be served savory or sweet.
I used maple syrup in the initial cooking phase to achieve the underlying sweetness in the finished dish. The creaminess comes from Go Veggie’s Vegan Chive and Garlic Cream Cheese.
ENJOY!
