Spicy Tofu Triangles

Mr. Coconut cooked these up a while back.

He marinated drained and pressed tofu in Frank's Red Hot and Old Bay Seasoning, then pan-fried until crispy. Very easy and delicious.

Roasted Beets with Beet Greens

Simple, nutritious, and delicious!

I roasted the beets by wrapping them in foil and baking until soft. Wash beets gently so you don't break the skin -- this keeps nutrients inside and the juices which stain everything sealed inside. Slice up after they are roasted/cooked.

I chopped up the greens and sauteed with onions and garlic and served immediately. I added a splash of white vinegar to the greens as well as salt.

Soft Tacos

Here's my attempt to make tacos photogenic. Atop a lightly toasted flour tortilla: taco-seasoned TVP, refried black beans with garlic, fresh sweet corn with lime juice and cilantro, rotel tomatoes with habaneros, chopped cilantro, Tofutti sour cream. I added fresh spinach and taco sauce before folding up as a taco and eating.

I know I said that the next taco night I'd make my own tortillas. I still plan on making my own, I just need to get a cast iron pan first. I know I can do it without one, but I'd like to get one anyway and this seems like the perfect excuse.

Loaded Potato Skins

Wow. These were a lot of fun to make and even more fun to eat.

I took about 6-7 russets and baked them in the oven until soft, about an hour. I let them cool down until I could easily handle them, and sliced each on in half. I scooped out the insides and set aside in a bowl. I wound up adding Tofutti sour cream, daiya cheddar and daiya mozzarella to the insides along with some butter and homemade bac-os, stirred it all up and scooped it back inside the potatoes. I baked a while longer, added a mix of cheddar and mozz daiya to the tops of the potatoes along with the rest of the bac-os and broiled until the cheese melted. I sprinkled green onions on the tops and devoured.

Here's a close-up of the potatoes:

Amy's Rice Mac and Cheeze

I already reviewed this in my previous post. Here's photo proof of the deliciousness. It's truly creamy, unlike any vegan mac and cheese I've had before.

Yum yum yum. Overpriced? absolutely. Worth it for the delicious convenience.
