Vegan BLT with Vegan Cheese

 

Vegan BLT

Ingredients:

Fakin' Bakin" which are smoked Tempeh Strips - Fry up about 4 of them (or fry them all and save some for the next day or to put in a salad, too.)

Some cut up grape tomatoes - tricky as they can get you pretty messy as you are slicing them, but they taste good

Iceberg and Red leaf lettuce pieces

Vegan Mozzarella Cheese

Alvarado Street Sprouted Whole Wheat Bread - 3 toasted pieces

To make: Toast 3 pieces of bread, put some olive oil on each. Then layer one piece of toast with the Fakin' Bakin'. Then put some slices of the Vegan Mozzarella over that. Cover with a piece of toast and microwave in some paper towels for about 40 seconds to a minute. Then take it out of microwave and put some lettuce and cherry tomatoes on the top of the fake bacon and vegan cheese sandwich and top that with the third slice. Cut it in 4 sections and most of the tomatoes fall out, so just put them in the middle of the plate and eat them with the sandwich. LOL Enjoy!

Easy Vegan Pizza

 

Vegan Pizza Recipe

Use a greased cookie sheet and follow pizza directions for baking on pizza crust package:
List of order to put on this Already made pizza crust ("Pilsbury" brand is the one used here),
Contadina Pizza Sauce spread on pizza dough and sprinkled with some italian seasonings and garlic powder,
Fried Tofu about 10 ounces(which was Extra firm Tofu that was crumbled and fried in a non-stick pan with some curry powder, turmeric and seasoning salt and pepper),

It took about 17 minutes for this pizza to cook because of all the ingredients, but oven temperatures vary and the amount of ingredients you put on the pizza will determine time needing to be cooked, so keep an eye on yours. And then, Enjoy! Smile.

Today's Highlighted Vegan Meal - Mock Tuna Fish

Today's Meals

Breakfast: Mock Tuna Fish Recipe - Teriyaki Tofu Crumbles with a little lemon and Veganaise mixed in with it on toast (Tastes like a Tuna Fish sandwich - a little bit anyhow.)
Snack: Saltine crackers with some hummus
Lunch: Vegan Hot Dog Sandwich on Eziekiel Toast with Veganaise, Catchup and Mustard
Snack: A few Pretzels
Dinner: Pasta Curly Q noodles with marinara basil sauce and some stewed tomatoes and zucchini pieces. I added some of the teriyaki tofu crumbles to it for protein, but I think veggie ground round with some mushrooms and onions would have tasted better. I perhaps can buy that tomorrow and just add it to the big pot.
Snack: Apple and Adam's Peanut Butter

Teriyaki Tofu Crumbles Recipe and Hummus Recipe

Today's Meals
Breakfast - Two Flax Oil Type Waffles with a little peanut butter and Banana no sugar syrup and a Banana
Snack - Apple slices and peanut butter
Lunch - Salad with Tomatoes and Teriyaki Tofu
Snack - Some saltine crackers with Hummus
Dinner - Last of the stir-fry veggie leftovers over rice with some of the teriyaki tofu (Glad I am done - 3 days is enough!)
Snack - Tangelo

How to make the Teriyaki Tofu Crumbles: Freeze a container of tofu. Then thaw it out. Open it and rinse it off. Then place in colander. Take a paper towel and put it over the tofu and push down the tofu till most of the water is out of it. Then put the tofu in a bowl and crumble it up. Add some teriyaki sauce about 3 tablespoons. Stir it up. Fry it in a little oil in a non-stick pan till browned. Use the medium setting on the burner so you don't burn it. Then you can use this fried teriyaki tofu in many dishes.

Hummus Recipe: This is just a fast version. Take a can of organic garbanzo beans. Put in food processor with 2 tablespoons olive oil and about a tablespoon of lemon. Add some salt and pepper and blend. If you want to, add some garlic powder to the mix, but it really isn't necessary especially if you don't want garlic breath, LOL. Use this with saltine crackers or you can dip veggies in it. If you want it spicier, add more spices to it.
