Vegan Mofo V Day 8: Scrambled Saturday

I've said it before and I'll say it again. I love me some scrambled tofu. This is "Curried Scrambled Tofu with Wilted Arugula" from Appetite for Reduction. I've been irrationally averse to curries for years now but I am trying really hard to get over it. I used the lesser amount of curry powder suggested, but ended up adding more when it was almost finished. I know I need to get a more authentic curry powder because the one I have is quite weak. Please leave recommendations in the comments.

This isn't as scrambled as I normally do. I have some very nice cubes as opposed to the crumbly mess I often make. Though it looks different, it was just as delicious and I can tell this is going to be one of my new favorites. Next time I am going to double the recipe or make a side to go with it because I ate almost half of the scramble on the first go. Good thing it's a low-fat healthy recipe, right?

I'm still not sure what I'm doing for next week. A lot of recipes I wanted to try involve the oven and the forecast is not cooperating (90's all week!). I'll either have to cook really early/late or plan something completely different. Maybe I'll do sandwiches and (gasp!) salads. Even though I'm vegan I'm very unfriendly with salad, so maybe it is time for us to reconcile? Stay tuned to find out. Enjoy your weekend mofos!

Breakfast Thyme

I love to come home and have breakfast waiting for me, but that doesn't happen very often. To adjust for that I made my breakfast last night and reheated this morning after my walk. Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day but I am usually too hungry to bother to make it, which is why I often make weekly scrambles ahead of time. It's so much easier to eat well when you plan.

Today I had VWAV Scrambled Tofu and Brussels Sprout-Potato Hash from Appetite for Reduction. These potatoes are my new jam. They are so flavorful and tender, I might just have to lay off the VB Diner Home Fries for a while. I like brussels sprouts, but I think that even people who don't like them will still enjoy this. My niece turned her nose up when I mentioned the sprouts but then she had a bite and quickly changed her mind.

Both of these recipes have thyme in them, which I absolutely love. I don't think I ever used thyme until I started cooking from Isa's books. Now I cannot keep a steady supply of it on hand, but that's good because it means I am cooking a lot of delicious food for myself. I just need to get a huge drum of it, or start growing my own.
