This week's post features the Tofurky Italian sausage. The first way I prepared it was to saute it with canola oil, and, once browned, to add half of a yellow bell pepper, diced. (Served with collard greens.)
The slight variation the second time was to add ¼ tsp of my Old Bay seasoning mix to the sausage and pepper.
Another way I made the sausage was to saute it in canola oil and then stir it into whole wheat rotini pasta with spaghetti sauce and Daiya mozzarella.
The slight variation on this was to add garlic salt to the sausage, and nutritional yeast to the sauce.
Here's Buttons & Leela, cute as always.
Peace. :)
Quick post tonight featuring two new soups I've tried recently...
The first one is the Thai Sweet Potato soup. (I added in some white rice.) I thought this one was pretty good, definitely very flavorful.
I heated up the second one, the Cashew Carrot Ginger bisque, without adding anything to it. It was good and creamy, a bit spicy, but overall I prefer soups with a bit more substance to them instead of being mostly broth.
Here's Leela & Buttons hanging out together.
Peace. :)
Looking through my food pictures, I realize I've tried out a lot of different frozen pizzas (they've been on sale) since the Daiya mushroom & roasted garlic one, so I figured I'd put them all in a post together. Here we go!
Amy's Vegan Margherita Pizza with Daiya Cheeze
I liked this one; it was probably the best of the cheese pizzas, especially since it had a nice, thick crust.
Amy's Roasted Vegetable Pizza (No Cheese)
This one was really interesting; I actually liked it a lot. It was good for a cheese-less pizza; even if it looks a little odd, it was a unique, delicious pizza in its own right.
Daiya Cheeze Lover's Pizza
I've had this one before (this is the “new” version with more cheese). It was alright, but I'd definitely prefer having a bit of a crust at the edge, like they show on the packaging.
Tofurky Pepperoni Pizza
As a non-vegan, my favorite pizza topping was pepperoni, so this one sounded promising. It definitely smelled like pepperoni, but the taste/texture wasn't as close as I'd hoped (but then again, I was used to thin slices of pepperoni, not little chunks, so that may have had something to do with it). It was good overall, but (same as with the Daiya) a bit of a crust at the edge would be nice.
Here's Buttons & Leela being sunshine kitties this morning.
Peace. :)
