Day 3 Menu!

Here are the recipes to inspire your cooking for day 3!
Tofu Scramble

Tofu is a great source of protein. In this recipe, the tofu will pick up the fresh flavors from the vegetables. This recipe is perfect for a little ketchup, but most brands have sugar in them. So using a little tomato paste is a great addition.
         Ingredients:

            1 box firm tofu
            1 zucchini, diced small
            1 tomato, diced
            1/2 onion, diced
            1 red bell pepper, diced
            2 green onions, finely sliced
            1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, minced
            1 clove garlic, minced
            Salt and pepper to taste
            Tomato paste if desired


Preparation:
                  1. Spray pan with 100% olive oil spray
         2. Add all ingredients and fry until vegetables are soft.
         3. Salt and pepper to taste
         4. Serve with tomato paste

Tip: You can add lots of different vegetables to this recipe including broccoli, carrots, and mushrooms.

 Taco Filling
         Ingredients:
            1 1/3 cup TVP
            1 2/3 cup water or vegetable broth
            Braggs liquid aminos
   taco seasoning

1. Place TVP in a medium bowl. Heat the water or broth to boiling then add   
    to the TVP.  Let set 5 – 10 min.
2. Transfer to a medium skillet and add taco seasoning. Add about 1/8 cup          
    olive oil and 3-4 T Braggs liquid aminos.
3. Cook until heated through.

TIP:  I like to add a can of kidney beans or black beans to the mixture for        
        extra flavor and texture.

Yeilds: about 1lb


TIP: You can use this mixture in an Enchilada Casserole by adding a small    
       can of chili peppers to the mixture then layer it with corn tortillas, salsa,
       beans and corn in the following order (in a greased casserole dish):
            Salsa
            Corn tortilla(s)
            Taco mixture
            Beans
            Corn
Repeat in this order starting with the salsa until all the taco mixture is used up. Bake for 30 min at 350 degrees F.



To reconstitute TVP (textured vegetable protein)

         1 2/3 cup TVP

         1 1/3 cup boiling broth

Let set for 5 minutes until all liquid is absorbed and the TVP soft
