Tofu Spinach Alfredo

This was thrown together in a bit of a hurry. I used my go- to alfredo recipe that I modified a bit for this recipe and Brianna Clark Grogan's Breast of Tofu recipe that can be found on Everyday Dish. I would've preferred to have used penne, but being that I'm a broke college student, I had to use what was on hand.

Alfredo Sauce
1 cup soy milk
3 tsp chickpea flour
2 tsp all purpose flour
1 tbs nutritional yeast
2 tbs Earth Balance
dash of cayenne
salt and pepper to taste

Bring soy milk to a boil and flour to a boil while whisking constantly. Lower heat and add remainder of ingredients. Continue to whisk until desired consistency achieved. Could this be any easier?

Alright, Alright.

So, I'm done with class for today and the only things on my agenda are to do some assignments and take the stinkin' bus to work. I mentioned that I had a few crappy pictures of some tasty eats. So, since I'm bored, and obviously you are, too, here they be:



I feel a little silly eve posting this. It's so simple, but oh, so yummy. The penne is a buttery tomato basil penne. After cooking the pasta and letting it drain, I used the same pot to saute minced garlic and tomatoes in some EB. Dave could actually stand this because the tomatoes basically just dissolve and all you have left is this tasty coating for your noodles. top with some nutritional yeast, accompany with a salad, and BAM! you're set.

told you it was a horrible picture!

This meal was probably the main reason I came crawling back to you today. This was my very first encounter with seitan! yep. I made it all by myself. and, simple as it was, I'm going to gloat. The title of this recipe really doesn't lie. Even my omni family enjoyed it. The occasion was my mother and nephew's joint-birthday-dinner party. I usually try to cook up the vegan mirror image of whatever they're making so that I don't feel like such an outcast. Mine was clearly the superior meal.

Birthday Boy!

And now, another successful swing at some vegan Alfredo. Ultra-creamy and garlic-y..? Made with elbow mac this time. And, I am not too big of prude to admit the disgusting sound such creamy and delectable pastas make when you stir them! Damn it.

Finally- the alfredo I've been craving.

Not much to post today, as I haven't really been cooking that much. First thing- the most awesome vegan Alfredo recipe I've tried since becoming vegan. Back when I was a dairy-eater (eww) Alfredo was my ABSOLUTE favorite food. Since becoming vegan, I had yet to try a vegan Alfredo recipe that tasted even remotely like real Alfredo. I was one sad vegan.

Until this past Wednesday..

I found this, like most recipes, on Vegweb. I did sub vegan Parmesan with nutritional yeast and it still ruled. So hard. I also has a limited amount of broccoli and absolutely no mushrooms. Dave would've been a sad boy had I snuck those in there. I mainly compensated produce with all of these frozen carrots I had that seriously needed to be used up.

This pasta was so good, we had it two nights in a row, the second night with wheat rotini. :)

Then the other night, I had these beauties. Again, more Vegweb. I really need to invest more time in my cooking and come up with some of my own creations. This recipe, though I nearly ruined it about twelve times, is great. It didn't come with an icing recipe, but these are so sweet and doughy and awesome, it really doesn't call for it.

Yummmmmm.

And, now I present:

KITTY CHAAAAAAIR!

CURSE YOU, LOW QUALITY HEWLETT-PACKARD!

Well, it's been fun, but I'm off to watch to watch a Rock of Love Bus episode that my mom recorded for me. Srsly. That show is so skanky, I contracted chlamydia just from watching it.
