BREAKFAST
1. Black Beans on Toast with Avocado and Tomato (cherry toms, olive oil, 1 can black beans, lime zest, crusty bread, avocado, pickled red onions, cilantro)
2. pickled red onions (red onion, red wine vinegar, sugar, salt, jalapeno chiles)
3. Sweet Potato Red Flannel Hash with Tempeh (russet and sweet potato, beets, oil, salt, pepper, temphe, soy sauce, onion, garlic, thyme, scallions, unsweetened coconut creamer)
4. Tofu Ranchero (canned toms, lime juice, onion, green chilies, chili powder, garlic, tofu, cilantro, avocado, scallions, con tortillas, brown sugar)
5. Tofu Scramble This was an awesome recipe. Actually, all of these recipes are great in this book because the authors write about the testing process and what worked and what didn't. I like the how the text explains why they decided on certain ingredients. (In this recipe the ingredients are tofu, olive oil, red bell pepper, shallot, salt, turmeric, pepper, fresh basil, parsley, tarragon or marjoram) Call Joe for the measurements!
Tofu Scramble with Spinach and Tomato (from the Garden Grazer) The author loves Yellowstone like Joe too! A similar recipe is in Melissa's cookbook called Vegan for Everybody
Ingredients
1 small onion
3 cloves garlic
2-3 roma tomatoes
1 lb. extra-firm tofu
1 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. smoked paprika
1/4 tsp. turmeric
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
Large handful baby spinach (or more)
Salt to taste
Directions
Dice onion and mince garlic.
In a large pan over medium heat, saute onion with a little salt for 7-8 minutes.
Meanwhile, crumble tofu and dice tomatoes.
Add garlic to the pan, and cook for 30 seconds. Add crumbled tofu and tomato. Cook about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. (Some may stick on the bottom but that's normal.)
While the tofu is cooking, put the cumin, paprika, and turmeric in a small bowl. Add 1-2 Tbsp. water, and stir to combine.
Add seasonings and nutritional yeast to the pan. Stir well to combine.
Add spinach and cook another 3 minutes.

SOUPS and stews

2. Creamless creamy tomato soup (America's Test Kitchens)

Turkish tomato, Bulgar and red pepper soup (oil, red bell peppers, onion, garlic, dried mint, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes, tomato paste, dry white wine, 28 oz. can fired roasted tomatoes, vegetable broth, 2 cups water, medium grind bulgur, chopped fresh mint) Joe thought the soup had too much acidity.

salads
garlicky tofu tabbouleh I am making this right now. I forgot to saute the tofu! The ingredients are: tomatoes, salt, pepper, Bulgar, lemon juice, extra firm tofu, olive oil, garlic cloves, cayenne pepper, parsley, mint, scallions,
cauliflower salad with chermoula and carrots (chermoula is a Moroccan marinade made with cilantro, lemon and garlic) This is an awesome recipe. I shared the final results with Bessie.
Chermoula I think it is best to chop the cilantro and garlic by hand rather than use the food processor. I used the food processor once and it was too smooth. Here are the proportions: 1 bunch cilantro, 4 cloves garlic, 1/4 cup EVOO, 1/4 tsp. salt, 2 Tbsp. lemon juice, 1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper, 1/2 tsp. cumin, 1/2 paprika.

For Thanksgiving 2017 at Melissa's we made a topping for
sweet potatoes mashed out of flour, brown sugar, sugar, cinnamon, ginger, salt, coconut oil, rolled oats, pecans, water
we also roasted mushrooms with salt, pepper, thyme and olive oil
Brussels sprouts with garlic
asparagus with salt, pepper and oil
and a great stuffing with kale, onions, garlic, and sour dough bread. Public radio talked to the cook and she said the recipe was so good that you would make it more often than just for Thanksgiving. You could bake the dressing in a loaf pan, freeze it for later and cut it and fry and egg to eat on it. You could also cook it in a waffle iron and add a fried egg on top. The recipe was on Smitten Kitchen's web site.
