SOUL FOOD

[jenniamigo]

Today was a groggy cold wet day. BLah. But it put me in the mood for some serious comfort food. I was missing biscuits and gravy pretty dearly. SO i made some. I just substituted, well everything lol. but it turned out fantastical. I even did my very first Tofu scramble. I have to say i was quite impressed, I still have not found any nutritional yeast anywhere but the tumeric, sea salt, and pepper worked wonderfly. But I was the only one to eat it because dh is a wimp and the kiddos were gone. So since there was soooo much there i pretty much ate that all day long. Anyway super duper proud of myself.

TOFU SCRAMBLE, w/ purple onions, red bell pepper, and green onions. Seasoned with tumeric (a little goes a long way trust me lol) sea salt, and pepper.

my beautiful biscuits and gravy. I used veggie "sausage" patties unbleached flour, and soymilk, seasoned with sea salt and pepper. For the buscuits I used bisquicks all purpose batter which is vegan and soy milk. 

I didn't end up making the cookies last night though. thats one of the downfalls of vegan meals. You have to put alot of effort in most things. Lots of chopping and mess making is involved. So I just broke up some pieces of bakers chocolate and mixed it up with peanut butter curled up with dh and watched the kill bill movies last night.

when the kids got home however they brought with them a rather large plate of devils food cake. Which is probably the worst thing to bring around a vegan having a phantom period. I lost, i caved, i took a small bite of the supermoist chocolatey evilness that is devils food cake. It was just the one bite I didn't eat the whole cake, though it crossed my mind.
