Tofu and Veggie Bacon Scramble

          Tofu Scramble With Veggie Bacon


                                  

 I tried something new out with tofu tonight and I must say it was absolutely delicous. The only part of the scramble that isn't a 100% vegan is the veggie bacon which you can totally avoid adding. I used Morningstar veggie bacon which unfortunately does have egg in the ingredient list. The tofu is from Whole Foods and it was so amazing. Anyway let me share the recipe with you.



1 cup of chopped green pepper 
1/2 cup of red onion
1 cup of white mushrooms
Salt and pepper to taste
4 slices of veggie bacon such as Morningstar 
2 cups of crumbled tofu



 Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet. Add onions and peppers and sauté until tender. Add crumbled tofu and then mushrooms. Place four slices of veggie bacon on a plate and microwave for 1 1/2 minutes until crispy. Chop up bacon and add to vegetables and tofu, cook until tofu is golden brown and add salt and pepper to taste. Serve with bread and vegan butter, and enjoy. Serves two.

Going Vegan...





 

    Hello all! It's been so long since I've been on here. I am excited to share that I have recently decided to become a vegan indefinitely. So I will be sharing some of my experimental recipes on here. So far I have made vegan pancakes, I have tried tofurky and next week I plan on trying out some new recipes with tofu which I can't wait to share with you all. One of the reasons I have made this decision is because I feel very strongly about cruelty to animals and the chemicals we consume that is put into our food. We do have a choice of what we put in our bodies on a daily basis and its up to us to take charge of our health! I believe that there was a time when we were intended to eat animals, before the time of cloning and mass slaughtering , back when family farms raised grass fed cows and put them down humanely and fed them to their families and their communities. Times have changed and things are not done the way they should be. It's hard to believe that the ground beef you pick up at your local grocery store contains the meat 10,000 cows and has been made from cows who were fed cow and treated as machines and not living beings. We are facing a big problem and its up to us to take charge of what we consume, and it starts with knowing our food. What about purchasing your meat from your local farmer and your produce at the farmers market? I'm hoping to get some information out there and help people see that what we eat not only effects our health but our community. I'd much rather support the neighbor up the road than the billion dollar company Walmart, wouldn't you?
