BBQ Tofu Wrap
My new favorite thing to do with extra firm tofu is to freeze it before I use it because it changes the texture and makes it easier to drain all the water out of it (you can just squeeze it because the texture is like a sponge, so it won't cracks or crumble the tofu, even if you try). So this recipe was simple, I made it for lunch one day and saved some leftovers for Andrew and he enjoyed it as well. After cutting up the tofu into cubes, I sauteed it with some olive oil and rosemary. After it was cooked I added 1/4 c. bbq sauce and 1/4c. water and mixed it in with the tofu and allowed to simmer for 5 minutes. Then I just threw it in a wrap with some vegannaise, lettuce and tomato. yummy :)
Tofu Salad
Pesto Lavosh Pizza with Smoked Gouda
So, Andrew and his buddies have cycling races called Tortilla Flats every Tuesday Night now. They have been doing AMAZING, so whenever I don't work on a Tuesday night, I like to reward them with a nice home-cooked meal :) This meal was a huge hit! It was simple, and really cheap to make. I started off with a sheet of Lavosh, I got a pack of 10 a trader joe's for less than $4. Brush each side of the Lavosh with olive oil and then bake it at 350 until it's a little crispy ( about 5 min). While the Lavosh is baking slice up some mushrooms, tomatoes and garlic. Saute the the mushrooms, garlic and spinach in one pan with some olive oil until the spinach looks wilted and the mushrooms are tender. In anther pan throw the sliced tomatoes in with some oil oil and cook until they blister. After the Lavosh is crispy, spread on some pesto to cover the entire surface. Then I put on the the blistered tomatoes, top those with shredded smoked gouda, and then top that with the garlic, spinach and mushrooms. Bake at 350 until cheese is melted (about 7 min).
Tofu Burgers and Sweet Potato Fries
As dor the sweet potato fress, nothing could be easier. Well, cutting them IS pretty hard... that's why I have Andrew do it ;). After they are cut into wedges I just toss them with some olive oil, minced garlic, coriander and sea salt. Bake them for 35-40 min at 400 degrees.

Veggie Pizza with Feta Cheese
I LOVE pizza! SO I was absolutely thrilled to come across a delcious and easy recipe for pizza crust. Oh, and it’swas also, flaovored pizza crust, Garlic crust!!! After I made the dough, I let it rise for a couple hours in a warm place. I then rolled it out as thin as possible, topped it wiht olive oil, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, mushrooms and feta cheese. Wa-la!! A yummy and simple vegetarian dish!
Portabella Mushroom Fajitas
I am all about making simple dishes that are absolutely delicious. I’m a college student, so I can assure you that these recipes are quick and rather inexpensive to make. I was in the mood for some yummy fajitas, so I pulled this meal together. I chopped up the mushrooms, a peppers (i used yellow, orange and red), and red nions and sauteed them with EVOO, garlic and salt. Meanwhile I heated up some tortillas and put them between two plates to keep them warm. Not so professional, but it worked for me. Once the veggies were tender, I wrapped them all up in a warm fajita and served it with a side of homemade guacamole and some salsa. Que Delicioso!
