Served over brown rice with chopstick ;)

Tropical Salad

This was super light... and fun to make/eat.  The macadamias were a real treat!

Adapted from Oh She Glows



Base: iceburg lettuce
Stuffs: chopped banana, pinapple, mango, macadamia nuts, shredded coconut
Dressing was a bit of tofu mayo mixed with balsamic vinegar, mirin, and agave nectar.

That's it.  Honestly!

Pinapple Stir Fry

Oh, gosh.  NO PICTURE!  I feel really bad... but my camera ran out of power before I got anything, and there weren't any leftovers.  Boohoo.  Oh well, most stir fries look the same, anyhoo...

Adapted from Oh She Glows

Mix together 1/3 cup pinapple juice, 2 tbsp rice vinegar, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp ketchup, and 1 tbsp agave.  Cut two slabs of tofu, press, and marinade overnight in sauce.  **So, Wednesday I thought I was going to make this dish, and I got the tofu marinading, but it turned out that I didn't have the energy to throw this together.  So I let the tofu marinade overnight, and made the dish Thurday.  Wow, flavour boost much!  I think, when possible, I will let the tofu marinade overnight, as it soaks up so much more flavour.
The next day, saute onion, bell pepper, mushrooms, garlic, broccoli, and spinach.  Grill tofu on a panini press.  Mix corn starch with the leftover marinade, and use as the stir fry sauce.  Serve over wild rice.

Orzo with a Very Flavourful Sauce

So, when I say flavourful, I mean FLAVOURFUL.  This packs a punch.  Not for the faint-hearted... Adapted from PPK.


Heat 3/4 cup pineapple juice, and then add in 3/4 cup TVP.  Allow TVP to soak up liquid, adding more juice as needed. 
In a saucepan, saute 1 small chopped red onion and ~2 cups broccoli florets.  Add in 6 cloves of roasted garlic (smashed with the flat side of a knife), 1 cup white wine, anise, rosemary, 1 cup pineapple juice, veggie bouillon, 1 tbsp flour, 1/2 cup chopped sun dried tomatoes, nooch, and coriander.  Then add in ~2 cups torn spinach, and allow to wilt.  Serve sauce over cooked orzo pasta, and top with TVP.
