Tofu Bites and Sauce (My Blissful Journey)

Hi everyone! This week I tried the tofu bites and sauce from My Blissful Journey, and they were great! I first had them with tater tots (which were great to dunk in the sauce, too!) and veggies… 

And tonight, I used them in a delicious rice bowl… 

Cringer was quite perturbed when I turned on the air conditioner last week… 

Peace. :)

Sweet & Spicy Foods This Week

Hi everyone! Last Saturday, we got to meet Chuck, a very cute pup currently being fostered by my sister and brother-in-law.

And then my sister and I made a delicious spicy lunch! 

tortilla chips topped with Morningstar Farms vegan chorizo crumbles, Aldi vegan mozzarella, salsa, and guacamole

My breakfasts this week have been extra sweet as I’ve been making the nutnog overnight oats from Kittens Gone Lentil (minus the pomegranate arils, and heating up the oats for at least a minute in the microwave since I don’t like cold oats). 

I also made the sweet & spicy sauce from My cat loves Daiya! for a bowl of rice, veggies, baked tofu, and avocado. I used sambal oelek when I couldn’t find gochujang paste, and it was still really good! 

Here’s Daisy being her cute little self... 

Peace. :)

Thai Peanut Sauce

This week's new recipe was the Thai peanut sauce from Quick and Easy Vegan Comfort Food. 

I decided to try this one because my normal “peanut sauce” is just peanut butter, soy sauce (well, Bragg liquid aminos), and water, so nothing too exciting or fancy.

Overall, this was an easy recipe to put together, except for mixing the peanut butter in with everything else (the sauce still had some lumps). Note: I left out the vegetable stock and sriracha. 

I tried the sauce in a wrap of rice, broccoli, and carrots. The sauce was good, but I think a little too thin for my liking, so if I make it again, I might adjust the amount of coconut milk and/or leave out the water. And I think I'll try heating the sauce next time, which should help the peanut butter mix together more easily. 

But until then, I have a bunch of Thai peanut sauce to use up, and the next dish I tried it in was whole wheat spaghetti with green beans and some crushed red pepper flakes.

Here's Buttons & Leela sharing the sunshine.

Peace. :)
