Just some photos of what I’ve been eating recently:

Kung Pao “Chicken”
From Veggie Heaven, Teaneck NJ. This reminds me to work on my Kung Pao recipe that I created months ago.

At Home Chipotle
Our closest Chipotle is in a strip mall that has the worst designed parking lot I’ve ever seen. Its basically just for people who drive Mini Cooper size cars not for the larger SUV type cars most people drive around here. On the strip malls busiest days/hours if I want Chipotle I make it myself at home.

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread Pudding
Courtesy of Urban Vegan’s cookbook which is amazing if you haven’t purchased it yet. I’m excited to hear she is writing another one!

Chickpea Salad Sandwich
A favorite weekend lunch of ours.

Jambalaya
I use to teach cooking classes with my friend Donna and she showed the class how to make this dish one day. It was genius and easy. Peter and I love it. Her recipe doesn’t have beans in it but since i’m in need of extra protein because of the pregnancy I added some kidney beans the last time I made it and I’ll forever be adding kidney beans to it. So delicious.
and just for shits and giggles…here is the best photo I’ve ever taken of my cat Riley.

Tofu Scramble, Diner Potatoes, Sausage and Toast
Usually weekend breakfast’s for us consist of coffee for Peter, some sorta iced mocha espresso drink for me and bagels with peanut butter or earth balance (sometimes both). Every once in awhile I feel like actually making us something substantial to eat. It takes some time but with careful planning it’s well worth the effort.
As you can see in the picture above I don’t really scramble my tofu. I like to keep it in smallish cubes with a few of them squished up from mixing. Its just a personal preference. I also like them plain as in without veggies. Just some garlic and onion’s, lot’s of nooch and some spices mixed it. The potatoes are diced, or sliced, boiled until softish and then fried in a pan with some onions until there is a nice crispy crust when they are turned out onto a plate. Fry up some homemade sausages or some Field Roast Sausages and toast some bread and you have one hell of a breakfast. You’ll be so full you won’t even think about food again until dinner time.

English Muffin with Peanut Butter and Sausage
I believe that you will either love this or hate this. I happen to love it. A few weeks ago I was craving a biscuit with sausage. Not having any biscuits nor the time to make them I asked my downstairs neighbors (my parents) for an English Muffin. As I was toasting the muffin and frying up some frozen vegan sausages (homemade would be better) all I could think about was peanut butter. One of my favorite things ever as a kid was a warm English Muffin smothered with peanut butter that would melt and ooze all over the plate. This in turn got me wondering what my English Muffin and Sausage Sandwich would taste like with peanut butter on it. I didn’t hesitate at all, added the peanut butter and the rest is history. I eat this all the time now. It is weirdly delicious and I think everyone should at least try it once in their lifetime.
